New Dark Troop Idea: Cyclops

http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...on-Cyclops.jpg

EDIT: As suggested by ElCrabbo, I decided to lower the max range to 9, that way infernos and cannons can reach them.

Here's what I'm thinking:

The cyclops carries around huge boulders and flings them in the air like a mortar which creates devastating splash damage to multiple buildings, walls, and clan castle troops. He would have a long range, long enough to kill teslas and wizard towers without being targeted.

Here's my rough estimate of level 1 stats. Feel free to help me fix these numbers.

DE cost: 400
Hit points: 1000
Damage Per Second: 35
Damage Per Shot: 175
Range:2-9
Favorite target: Any
Damage type: Area Splash
Damage Targets: Ground
Housing space: 20
Training Time: 30M
Movement Speed: 15

I know this idea has been brought before, but noone really provided any details. Here's what I'm thinking:

The cyclops carries around huge boulders and flings them in the air like a mortar which creates devastating splash damage to multiple buildings, walls, and clan castle troops. He would have a long range, perhaps long enough to possibility kill infernos and cannons without being targeted.

Here's my rough estimate of level 1 stats. Feel free to help me fix these numbers.

DE cost: 400
Hit points: 1000
Damage Per Second: 35
Damage Per Shot: 175
Range:2-10
Favorite target: Any
Damage type: Area Splash
Damage Targets: Ground
Housing space: 20
Training Time: 30M
Movement Speed: 15

Sure people have suggested the name cyclops but no one has suggested he throw boulders, so it's a different unit entirely.

A full army of these would 3 star any base in champions, as they are able to outrange most defenses, way too op, bring the range down so all defenses (with the possible exception of the tesla) can target it

Thanks for the feedback, although not sure I agree that it's a "Terrible Idea" just because one aspect of the stats seems OP. Afterall, I said it was a rough estimate.

Anyways as far as your argument goes I see where you're coming from but I think it could be debatable. Mortars, archer towers, and x-bows would still reach them (and we could make x-bows double damage or something). Infernos, cannons, wizards, and teslas would be able to reach them as well if they happen to become within range.

In the end I think you're right though, I will update my original post to reflect your suggestions. Thanks again.

Anyone else with an opinion on this? Has there been any extensive discussions about similar mortar-like offensive attacks?

Amazing idea! Maybe make its range a little shorter. I wish I had higher level dark barracks to be able to hold these!

Yeah it's hard for me to decide what an appropriate range would be. I just think it would be cool seeing a cyclops fling a boulder super far lol. :cool:
