New dark troop: Bat Rider

The bat rider is an extremely intelligent unit! The bat damages enemy buildings with his sonic boom attack which is released every time he shrieks. Whenever he shrieks clan castle troops and hero's stop and hold their ears just for a second due to how loud the bat's shriek is! The rider does nothing but as the bat is blind he must be riding the bat.

Level1:
DPS: 120
damage time: 1 sonic boom and shriek every 3 seconds.
damage radius: 5x5 tiles-this would look like a dark grey spell radius.
HP: 400
Training cost: 90 DE
Favourite target: any
Targets: ground & air
Damage type: single target [Note]: when he attacks the shriek effects every enemy hero and clan castle troop in it's target radius.
Housing space: 10
Training time: 20 minutes
Movement speed: 24
Description: Having tamed the rare species of giant bat and come resistant to it's blood curdling shriek, the bat rider is an extremely terrifying unit on the battle field.
Reference art: From Google images: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=oi82vs&s=8 the bat would be greyish blue with some darker blue with black wings. The man should basically be a grey goblin with goggles and a hat.

NOTE: I don't think that the bloke in the pic riding the bat should be what it looks like in the game. He should be similar to a Goblin, but have big heavy goggles and a pointed helmet or a hat like wall breakers wear (either is fine).

How it could be used:
This troop would be useful to help direct those thick skulled dragons into the centre and it would be very useful in clan castle defence! For whenever it attacked a certain unit, it would also stop every attacking troop for 1 second in it's target radius giving time for cannons and archer towers to pick em off without being challenged - a bit like a mini freeze spell.

Please let me know what you guys think by not only voting in the poll but also commenting on what you think :)
Many thanks!

Well it does get killed by level 6 air defence in 2 shots so it's not too OP.

I like the idea, but on defense doesnt that seem a bit OP. Maybe instead of stoping every attacking troop, it should stop the troops within its range? Or maybe it stops a max of 15 troops? Something like that. Love the idea! Keep it up;)

Yeah i guess your right :/ perhaps as a maxed clan castle can hold 30 housing space of troops and this troop would be able to stop all of them with it's shriek, then maybe we could start the limit at 30 housing space worth of troops. I'll also add that this troop will only attack every 3 seconds meaning that in that time it gives plenty of time for archers and wizards to shoot down the bat rider :)

Thank you for the positive feedback!

I love this, but it should have more health because a lvl 6 air defence can kill it with 2 shoots and its DPS should be deacreas or the movement speed ! But I will use it when it comes out ^^

Well, first of all, I want to say that Bat Rider, Elephant Rider or anything made me lose interest, there's already hog rider, and it sounds kinda like a copy, Secondly, about the sonic bomb or whatever, for 3 seconds? isn't that will be a easy raid... also, I never see a person riding a bat lol, anyway, that's just my opinions, however good luck.

Although I do find the idea original, I think it doesn't really fit into the theme of the game.

But once again, the mechanics seem original and could work! Perhaps you could rework those mechanics into a different kind of unit? Perhaps something along the lines of a unit with a massive sword at which the CC troops look in awe with every swing?
