New Troop: The Scout!

The Scout

Description: Known primarily for their incredible eyesight, Scouts can reveal the unseen.

How to use the Scout:

The Scout is mainly used in the 30 second pre-battle phase/prep, here he runs around the village and reveals the amount of traps allowed for its level. The Scout can be used in the battle time, but it can be killed. The Scout doesn't cause the battle to begin, but when more troops are place or the allotted 30 seconds runs out, the battle begins.

Troop Capacity: 6
Train Time: 12 minutes
Town Hall Required: 6

What can the Scout reveal?

When the following traps are within the Scout's reveal radius the trap gets revealed.

Bombs/Giant Bombs
Spring Traps
Air Bombs/Seeking Air Mines
Hidden Tesla (Only 1)
Clan Castle Troops

What if a Scout is in my Clan Castle?

Offensively: Has same function. If accompanied with other troops it does begin the battle.
Defensively: If a Scout is placed by the attacker, within the Clan Castle radius, the Scout appears out of the defending Clan Castle. The Scout then warns the defenses and the battle begins.

Miscellaneous:

If a Rage Spell is used, and the Scout is within the radius, it will have the same DPS as the Barbarians you can train. Although the Scout can see far a way, he can't see things at short distances until he is enraged, then he sees his sword.

The Scout is a tall, skinny man who looks like he went on a safari, lol. He has a pair of binoculars around his neck and a canteen around his shoulder. He wears black boots, long white socks, which are barely visible, greenish-gray shorts (with plenty of pockets), a collared shirt the same color as his shorts, and a hat with a brim all the way around. On his belt, there is a scabbard (look it up) with a sword in it.

NOTE: The Scout does have an ability, but I felt it would be too under powered to be the next DE troop.

*The Scout unarms the nearest traps. You DO NOT get to choose what traps to unarm

**Traps include, Bombs, Spring Traps, and Air Bombs. Not Giant Bombs, Seeking Air Mines, or Teslas.

This idea could prove useful as of the bomb update. It's reasonably fair, but i find the ability to draw cc from anywhere is a bit op and unfair. I think it should be able to show you what troops are in the cc instead. Awesome idea though

I also agree that luring CC troops might be a bit too OP, especially with the little capacity of 3.
Showing what troops inside are a bit underpowered though... It's a bit useless because you already start the battle, and it won't affect too much

What if we make it a bit unique that Scout can be used on the 30s battle preparation and can show you the hidden things and their positions (tesla/traps/cc troops) but still doesn't count as starting battle?

And they can be used as normal troops (after the 30s time run out) to de-active the traps?

Great idea! I'll make some changes.

Anyone? :)

I think this troop idea could be balanced and useful without being OP... I don't think they should be able to actually destroy traps, but giving away the location of them and somehow providing information on what the cc holds (without luring them out) would help stradegize the attack. Good idea :D

Thanks for the input!

Anyone else have any input/new ideas?

I'm confused. Did you reply to the correct thread?
