"Ghost" unit

Ghost
"Travelling up to your building out of sight, this warrior will strike you down before you know it hit you!"

Favourite target: Defences
Damage type: Single target
Targets: Ground units
Housing space: 5
Training time: 3 minutes
Movement speed: 30

Level 1:
DPS: 160
Hitpoints: 100
Training cost: 60 dark elixir

Level 2:
DPS: 180
Hitpoints: 120
Training cost: 70 dark elixir

The ghost is unlocked at dark barracks lvl 6 at Town Hall 9. The quirk to this unit is that it turns invisible for the first 5 seconds upon spawn travelling through ALL buildings including walls. It is untargetable during this time. Once the time is up it becomes targetable. At this point he also loses the ability to travel through the buildings.
Please provide clear feedback and if i missed anything :) Thank you for taking your time reading this idea :))

I think it's a good idea, but maybe a bit underpowered...once he passed the first layer of walls all the defense will shoot at him, and he will be easily killed...maybe increase the hitpoints and the housing space and for me it's fine; -)

Um,how do they trigger the invisibilty....?

this is triggered as soon as they spawns. SC havent got anything where you can control the troops after they have been spawned so i didnt want to spoil them. hope this is what you wanted as an answer

is this idea not popular at all?

I like it! However, I have one concern.

Based off of it's stats, it is very similar to a lvl 4 wizard, which has dps of 125 and hp of 130. Since this prioritizes defenses, my thinking is that it would either be used as a meat shield like the golem and giants, or used as the main portion of an attack, like hog riders.

However, unlike the other meat shields this has relatively high dps and relatively low hp, so it would not work very well in this capacity. Once it turns visible it would die very quickly, even if used in larger numbers like the giants,

Unlike the hogs, it cannot be used en masse to swarm a base, as the ghost only goes through one or two layers of wall before it can be targeted. Since it would be stuck behind the walls, it would be left to hammer away just like any other troop, only it would be separated from the main attack. And, like I said before it would die very quickly.

And since it has a housing space of 5, it could not be used to simply overwhelm a defender's base like a BAM or Barch strategy.

So basically, my concern is that while the idea of invisibility is interesting, in a troop that is best used in a support role, moving ahead of an army is more of a liability than a help.

Sorry this is so long, but I hope this helps. :)

I think it should be invisible for 5 seconds then not for 10 then invisible for 5 and not for 10 and just stay that way until it dies or battles over
