Dark Elixir troops (version 3.54) *FEEDBACK HERE*

Not imperessed with WB. Not clever at all, just different AI. Did you beta test before rekeasing? Thus far only way to get in to base is through corners. Very dissapointed in you, Supercell.

Considering air mines are useless against the other flying troops, the blast radius seems excessive for how many it can kill in one blow. If they are going to stay like this, the price of the air bombs need to go up to something similar to the giant bomb, so they aren't just always expected to be used.

Seriously? How about learn to play instead of spamming all your troops at once. Problem solved

Find a base that still has tons of spikes, put down Wbs and watch them go to work. I've raked in over 550k in 2 raids since the update.

I agree, the new WB AI sucks. Im not going to bother using them. Do you need the DE barracks to be complete before you can upgrade DE troops?

PS - you guys seen the "coming soon" in the space for the 5th spell?? Was that always there?

Gemmed 3 armies. 1 pure minion, 1 pure hogs and 1 pure valks.

Minions are pretty awesome, will def be better against lower th with weaker defenses, they get hit hard by wizard towers.

Hogs are pretty weak, they are better used in a support role, take out the majority of single target defenses or send in tanks before deploying em and use them halfway through an attack to reach defenses still surrounded by walls.

Valks are just pure awesomesauce, double the dips along with higher hp than level 5 giants at level 1 they chew through walls and cc troops. Throw a rage down and egg style defense bases melt with them holding aggro off everything else.

Valks def my fave hehe

My Valkyries are currently level 2, and honestly they seem very very powerful, maybe overpowered.

Like that the minions are only 6DE and 10000 initial upgrade. Thought it'd be priced ridiculously high.

Not sure if its just me but i'm seeing far more gold and elixir when i'm out raiding.

All in all, i'm quite happy with the update.

Good job.

With my next attack, I went out and did the same thing, tried to trigger as many mines as possible with them, which helped, but a smart base design will keep the air mines in deep so they wont trigger until you feel safe to drop your minons and they have a higher chance of clumping, and 4000 gold can potentially wipe them all out. I don't know if having the potential of mass wipeouts for them taking 2 space is worth it.

Think about it like this, 20 minions = 40 food spots, which you could replace with a ton of other options. Giant bombs are the only thing which can wipe out troops en-masse and they cost 50k gold per and take 2x2 space to place on the ground. An air bomb costs 4000, will seek after it's target, and can be put down in 1 spot in a base. The explosion radius is larger then a giant bomb by significant margin. Air bombs were about useless before (only good for big balloon attacks), now they are way to OP to the point it makes an entire unit almost completely useless.

You're seeing more gold and elixir because people just haven't logged in yet to click their mines -- wait until this evening and it will be back to normal.

Minions:
35 dps
55 hp
6 de cost
45s training time
2 housing space
Level 2 upgrade: 10k de 10d

Hogs:
50 dps
300 hp
30 de cost
5m training time
6 housing cost
Level 2 upgrade: 20k de 14d

Valks:
60 dps
750 hp
100 de cost
15m training time
8 housing cost
Level 2 upgrade: 50k de 14d

Already started my hogs 2 they appear to gain double stats at max level so would def be more viable then. So they might be weak now, but with around 100dps and 600hp they will make more of an impact.
