FIRST troop to target the TOWN HALL!! - Raging Beast /Berserker

Coc has troops which primarily target resources, defenses or walls but NO troops that primarily hunt the TOWN HALL. This new troop will be a good addition and will add a whole new strategic dimension.


**CONCEPT HAS BEEN UPDATED DUE TO FORUM FEEDBACK**

RAGING BEAST/ BERSERKER
LEVEL 1
Name of Troop : Raging Beast/ Raging Berserker
Training Cost (in Elixir or DE) : 1500 Dark Elixer
Training Time: 1 hour
Housing Space: 35
Damage per second: 250 and 1.5X town hall damage
Hit Points : 300, but IF the beast survives a battle he will REMAIN in the army camp/ CC for the next battle.
Movement Speed: 20
Description: big, powerful, quick but lacks good health. Possibly a hybrid breed and will have horns. The exterior, a dark armour, emits a dark rage and remains lightweight. His claw strike is deadly.
Reference Art: see below google images to get an idea of the troop


OTHER POINTS
- A beast from the deepest darkest woods
- Primary target is the TOWN HALL
- Cannot fly
- spells do NOT work with it
- big, powerful, quick but lacks good health
- Cannot attack any other defence/ item till the TH is destroyed
- Moves directly to TH and does 1.5X damage to TH
- Linear from placement. Breaks through walls only to get to the town hall.
- DE cost is 1500
- the beast is already surrounded by a Rage with a range of 2 tiles:
a) this does not mean the beast is in Rage mode himself but
b) the beasts rage HELPS OTHER TROOPS TO ENTER RAGE MODE exactly like the rage spell
- IF the beast survives a battle he will REMAIN in the army camp/ CC for the next battle. This is the first troop to exhibit such a feature.
- Available at TH9

this +a rage and jump spell= 1 star guearanteed, so no

As mentioned in my description any spells are ineffective so rage and jump will not work !

RAGING BEAST/ BERSERKER
- A beast from the deepest darkest woods
- Cannot fly
- Lots of health (3-4X pekka health) and very big and powerful but very very slow (slower than a golem)
- Cannot attack any other defence/ item till the TH is destroyed
- Moves directly to TH and does 1.5X damage to walls and 2X damage to TH
- Linear from placement. Breaks through walls only to get to the town hall.
- Very expensive @ 5-7k dark
- Suffers double damage from xbows ( and possibly cannons and archer towers)
- Spells have no effect as the beast is already surrounded by a Rage of 2 tiles.
- Any other troops in battle within the 2 tile range will also enter rage mode, similar to the rage spell
- Housing space is 80 ( to stop taking too many to a battle) and time to train 1 hour
- IF the beast survives a battle he will REMAIN in the army camp for the next battle. This is the first troop to exhibit such a feature and will counter the high DE training cost
- Available at TH10

Any troop that primarily attacks the town hall is OP! Even if spells don't effect it, with that amount of HP it would one star all bases. And with it's huge housing space no one would train it as it would take up a 3rd of even the top players camps! Basicly any troop that targets the town hall is either gonna be OP or if you try to balance it out, it would be useless.

oh didn't see that :)

anyway just spam these would work the same way i think (+ it is surrounded by a sort of rage spell)

It would just be a very good tank, who will take most damage and probably cant be killed if theres a army of ranged units behind him.

Interesting twist on the standard "targets TH" troop, but still feels a bit OP nonetheless. This and a group of WBs can probably easily reach the TH.

Great feedback all 👍

So i get the impression it feels a bit OP atm because of its HP. To balance that I did make it slower than a golem at 9 speed, which is rly slow, and made the beast suffer double damage from xbows arch towers and cannons - would that not work or do you think it simply needs Lower HP points ?

Also, the large housing space was so you couldn't spam these and take lots to a single battle. I knw it's a big housing space for the price of DE but to help that if you did win the battle and the beast survived he would stay in your army for the next battle. This a good idea?

ok now the stats are prety good countered but i still don't really like any troop that attacks the TH( great stats you madethough, keep going!)

one other thing, if the housing space is 80, it won't be able to fit in cc. lvl 5 cc was added with the golem to continue the trend of every troop fitting inside.
