The Mortar Mauler (New Dark Troop)
I've been having this idea for a while now, and I'm still trying to think of a better name for it, but for right now, I've decided the name "Mortar Mauler". If anyone could draw up a picture to suit this thread I would greatly appreciate it! ;)
Description:
Basically a Wall Breaker but instead of carrying a bomb, it wields a mini mortar. If you have seen the mortars they use in the military (USA) then you should know what I mean.
Purpose:
The main purpose of the Mortar Mauler is to attack splash defenses (Mortars and Wizard Towers), and has an advantage of rendering damage from a distance.
Features:
• Has a range of 10 tiles to attack with (you may think this is OP, but the enemies list will show why this troop needs a lot of range to work with)
• Instead of shooting standard mortar shells (rocks or flaming metal balls), it will shoot a missile shell, capable of doing great damage to splash defenses.
• Dark Elixir Troop
Specs:
• Housing space of 6 per unit
• Movement speed: 12
• Damage Type: Area Splash
• Targets: Ground
• Favorite Targets: Splash Defenses (Damage x4)
• Training Time: 8 mins
• Has 5 upgrade levels
Appearance and Stats:
• A Level 1 MM has the same body as a Wall Breaker with a mini mortar that looks similar to a Level 4 Mortar.

DPS: 230
HP: 110
Cost: 225 DE per unit
* MM short for Mortar Mauler
Best Use:
• Best deployed after meat shields (like archers after giants) to attack splash defenses without being fired on.
• Do not deploy in large groups. (Best 2-3 at a time)
Enemies:
• Giant Bombs: Well placed (and upgraded) giant bombs will instantly vaporize this troop.
• Splash Defenses: Even though this troop targets splash defenses, if it is targeted by one or more, they will be doused with significant damage, or even be one-shoted to Clash heaven.
• Single-Target Defenses: Defenses like cannons, archer towers, x-bows, and inferno towers (on multiple-target) could also do great damage to this troop.
• Spring Traps: No need to explain.
• Bombs: Can weaken the troop.
• Clan Castle Troops: CC Troops that contain Archers and/or Wizards will take these troops out easily as they will not target them at all.
Tip: This troops greatly relies on protection from tanky troops (Golems, Giants, Pekkas) to soak up damage while they move in for the kill.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I sure hope Supercell does as well! :) If you have any questions or oppositions please feel free to let me know, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. I will be honored if Supercell implements this troop into the game, but I tend to over think myself sometimes lol.
