New troop!!! Hear me out its fair! Its well balanced. New troop: Ghost. Hear me out!!

This dark troop, Ghost, searches dark elixir by going through walls and buildings in order to stay on the clashing field. While in battle, the Ghost slowly loses health. Ghosts can regain health by devouring dark elixir. As it floats, every 2 seconds the Ghost goes and appears transparent. Upgraded Ghosts stay transparent for longer. While transparent, Ghosts cannot be damaged.


DPS: 75
Hitpoints: 1000
Training Cost:350 Dark Elixir

Favorite target: Dark Elixir Resources
Housing Space: 25
Training Time: 25M
Movement Speed:15

Creeping from the darkest shadows, going through the toughest walls, the Ghost searches for Dark Elixir to devour for its survival.

How much HP does it lose in battle, and how much does it gain by eating DE?

I'm still thinking about it but it should be nicely balanced. That's where Supercell comes in and tweak it for the game's balance.

BUT damage depends on the defense. But its health can be replenished by the proportional amount it steals

Maybe it even regains health faster when upgraded.

I misunderstood your OP; I thought it meant that it would lose HP even if nothing was attacking it.:p

One more question(for now): You said that it goes transparent every 2 seconds. How long does it stay transparent?

Well I was thinking of it like that just to balance the game. But no losing HP is fine as well. :cool:

The same amount, 2. Slightly increasing each level

So how much HP does it gain from getting DE? You said that Supercell could choose the stats, but you can't really call it balanced unless you have all the stats.

Also, how long does it stay invisible at max level? In fact, I'd like to know all the stats of a max level Ghost.

I suggest you be careful when answering these questions; one wrong step and...:rolleyes:

Lol ok.

There are only two levels like the Witch. The first level the Ghost stays transparent for 3 seconds. On its second level, the Ghost stays transparent for 5 seconds. ;)

Wrong answer.:rolleyes:


A housing space of 25 means that you could have 9 of these guys. Which means:

-A maxed out DE storage has 3,200 HP, meaning that 9 of these guys could destroy it in 3,200/(9x75)=5 seconds. Factoring in the "transparent" ability, they would only be exposed for less than a second.

-3 maxed out DE Drills, each with 1,000 HP, can be destroyed in 2 seconds each. Less than half a second for that.

Which totals 6.5 seconds for the Ghosts to destroy all DE collectors/storage while vulnerable. Let's assume that the ghosts will walk the edge of the border, attacking a DE resource at each of the four corners. Even though this is highly unlikely, and even if it did happen, most people would drop two ghosts at each DE resource, let's assume it did. Since the map's size is 40x40 tiles, this equals to a distance of 120 tiles total. This troop has a movement speed of 15. That equals to around 1.5-2 tiles/sec. This means that it would be able to walk the 40 tiles in 20-27 seconds. Calculating in the "transparent" ability, it will only be vulnerable to attack for 6-8 seconds per trip. Since I don't know the exact amount of HP the Ghosts would get back from the DE resources, let's assume it'll get half of its HP back. Factoring in the amount of time vulnerable it would take to destroy the storage, which is this means that the defenses will need to do 142 DPS to each troop. Extremely unlikely. Even if 2 of them are taken out at each corner, 9 of these would definitely be enough to loot all of the DE from a village, considering we haven't even factored in spells yet.


Yeah. So I suggest lowering some stats, or telling me exactly how much HP it gets back from stealing DE.

Seems nice although pretty complicated compared to other troops.

I love the idea of having centours in the game they look absolute boss definoutly would use them

Thanks Man. Of course Supercell will have to tweak for a balance game. But its a good idea. #Bump this to the top so everyone can see this.

Well I'm no expert when it comes to Troops and although the technical stuff Supercell does but I believe this troop, Ghost can be altered to be balance. Maybe seeking air mines always finds this thing? Who knows but the transparency could be adjusted.

I think the higher unlocked Dark troops should be more sophisticated

If you want a ghost type troop, it would have to be weaker and similar to that of a goblin, No one will spend that type of DE on a dark troop that probably wont even make its money back,

Why would you post on a dead thread?

Me like it

What does it look like?

Anything too creepy and I'd disapprove. Maybe a pale goblin.

I didnt know about your dark troop idea before I created my own "Ghost". It's called the Phantom. Mine is quite different than yours. The Phantom targets the th but also goes through walls as well. I would like you to check out my Phantom and see your opinions on it and i hope my version isn't infringing on yours and if you believe mine dose then i sincerely apology.

Training an all Ghost army wouldn't be overpowered whatsoever, right? ♥♥♥♥♥

Why the necro? But still a good troop

When I read the title of this thread, I kinda knew what was going to happen. A troop that costs Dark Elixir and Targets Dark Elixir? Farmers wouldn't use this because of the DE costs (also, people with level 7 Dark Barracks won't be farming) and Throphy pushers also wouldn't use this becasue of it targeting a resource building? Have you ever seen a TH10 using goblins in a Throphy pushing raid? I do like the story of the Ghost btw.

Have a nice day.

True but still.. What is the OPer gonna do with our feedback? It's likley that he has given up on this idea so what's the point of the necro??

Is a good troop tho aha

What's with the necro? You just attracted a lot of attention that will keep this up forever until they give up on this. :facepalm:
