New DE Troop: Shade

The Shade is a Dark Elixir troop with an uncanny and altogether unique ability. When one is spawned onto the battlefield, the 30 second strategic timer that raiders get before battle doesn't disappear! That's right... the shade can be targeted by defenses, but the three minute raid clock doesn't start until you spawn a regular toop, or your strategic timer runs out!

Shade:

LVL 1

Damage Per Second: 50

Hitpoints: 80

Training Cost: 65 Dark Elixir

Favorite Targets: Any

Damage Type: Single Target

Targets: Ground

Housing Space: 3

Training Time: 5 mins

Movement Speed: 25

...

DE Ability: When deployed, if deployed before 30 second strategic timer is up, the strategic timer does not end. Instead, it continues to count down as if no troops were deployed.

This is great! More outside the box thinking. =)

Interesting Idea

What Zomboy Said

peanut butter jelly time

Anybody who votes "No, just.... no!" and "Ok, but needs some adjusting..." please comment. Tell me what needs changed, and what you do/do not like. I will edit stats (if suggestions are made), and I want to make this the best troop it can be. Your input will help me do this!

Good idea but I like those 30 seconds to decide how to attack if at all, this would make me rush 😭 I don't like being rushed

You wouldn't necessarily rush. I, for example, would do a once-over of the village I'm raiding and drop shades. While they are attacking I would look more closely at where I want to drop my other troops, while keeping in mind that they are softening up defenses or other targets wherever I dropped them.

Interesting idea

Well it's weaker than a barb and its ability only works when no normal troops are deployed, to me it seems useless. Because it has no use I gave it a no just no.

85 DE for a troop that gives you an unlimited strategic time

The troop seems Underpowered given it's cost and purpose (the minute it hits a defense, it's dead.)
Also, if you deploy the troop, then decide to skip, you lose trophies.

If you adjust cost to make it cheap, or HP to make it stronger, then people will just use it for endless collector raids.

Not a good troop idea, sorry
