New Dark Elixir Troop: Hydra

The Hydra had a body of a serpent and many heads. If one was severed two more would take its place. The hydra would only be defeated if it lost all it's Hitpoints.

Level 6 Dark Barracks Required
Level 1 Hydra:

Damage per second: 28 (x2- When two heads) (x3- When three heads)
Hitpoints: 800
Training Cost: 500 Dark Exilir
Favorite Target: Any
Damage Type: Single Target
Target: Ground
Housing Space: 20
Training Time: 10 Minutes
Movement Speed: 16

Attachment 37625

As the hydra is attacked it grows more heads and does more damage.
When placed it starts with one head. (Which does normal damage) (28 DPS)
When a total of 200 damage is dealt to Hydra, it grows it's 2nd head. (Total of 56 DPS)
When a total of 400 damage is dealt to the Hydra, it grows it's 3rd head. (Total of 84 DPS)
He has a Max of 3 Heads (Max 3x Damage)

If healed with a spell or healer, the hydra keeps all of its heads, even when healed back to full health.
Springs do not affect Hydra.
Bombs and Giant Bombs do damage to Hydra.

Looking forward to hearing feedback.
Stats can easily be changed, so don't say it's too OP or Underpowered unless you provide reasons.

Too clear up some confusion:

1. Each head does NOT deal 90 damage.
Each head deals 30 damage.

2. A Hydra was a mythical creature that grew 2 heads every time one was cut off.
In-game the hydra would have a MAX of 3 heads!

3. The in-game Hyrda would die after it's Hitpoints were gone.
It would start with one head when placed. Once it takes a total of 200 damage, the second head would grow and it would do a total of 56 damage. (The hydra would be at 600/800 Hitpoints)
Once the Hydra takes a total of 400 damage it grows it third head. (The hydra would be at 400/800)
It does a total of 84 ​AFTER the third head grows.

Please give reasons why.

Still looking for real feedback!

OP. Maybe cut down to 600 HP. 400 for first head 200 for 2nd head. And 50 HP is third head. The DPS could then be higher. Say 100 DPS

Thanks for the feedback, I decreased the hit points. Take into consideration the movement speed and cost. A lot of people don't notice those. I do think it's well rounded now.

There is one thing you forgot to mention! How do these "heads" appear. Do they grow after the hydra is defeated like a golemite or does it start with three heads and each time it dies only one head is w♥♥♥♥ed off. Please explain a bit better.

Also I forgot the mention this. After reading whats at the top, wouldn't the hydra be eternal? Each time he loses a head he gains 2 more so each time he goes down a head he can get one more. there has to be a limit on not the maximum heads at one point but also maximum total head revives it gets

This was all stated in my post. Try reading the WHOLE thing.

I like this idea!

It has to affect the hydra because spring traps can kill 15 troop spaces... And the hydra is only 6 spaces.

Up the troop space maybe? I can see this in CoC though. I really like the idea

Wow can't believe I missed that. Thanks for the correction.

I dont have a dark barrack yet so I cant comment on the number, but wouldnt it make more sense to start with 3 heads, and it got chopped off as it lose health?

I really like the idea, the clash of clan admins should really add this. I don't have any recommendations because it's so frexing awesome!

The hydra gains heads as it looses them, so that would make no sense whatsoever

To make it less confusing say when it takes 200 damage it gains a head instead of at 600 it gains a head at 400...and I think the damage stack should be a bit less like 1.5 and then 2.0, but overall love the idea!

It would be awesome if every time it lost a head it increased its troop capacity, for spring traps. So when it has three heads it would take up 18 space and wouldn't be affected by the spring trap

It seems like most people here have a hard time of getting this concept. I'd rather prefer it to have a large unit space (25-30) since it seems like it can be a lot of troops at the same time and it should also have a greater training time. I think to make it a bit more special, each head deals its own individual damage to one (or maybe even multiple) buildings. It would be a continuous cycle of the 3 heads attacking in a barrage. That way the Hydra maintains the damage per head but as each head is added, the individual heads do the same damage as the first one.

Nice idea bro ,

This is basically a troop that has the power of two pekkas. Speed does not play a key role since it's (any) attack mode means for the most part it will simply scoot over to take out the next building. You also did not mention who they eventually die? Since they grow more heads with damage done, how exactly do they die? And do not think that price will balance out the op hydra. While many people won't use them because of cost, many others have the money to be spending on troops (those gemmed maxed th 10's that just gem up their troops). It's the same problem that is currently going on with hog riders, Supercell thought raising prices on hog riders would make people deter from using them so often but most don't mind spending the Dark Elixir for easy three star wins (this isn't even a big problem for people now since clan wars is basically earning them their DE back from using hogs). Maybe a little less over powered? If it's so hard to kill it should have fewer hit points, I.e. Giants

Seriously people, I dont know what is so confusing with the suggestion.

Hydra spawn with 1 head. He grow head as he lose health. Lose all health, he dies. End of story.

Where did you people get the idea of "new head grow upon death"

No, a hydra gains two heads once one is chopped off.

Where do you get the idea that it basically has the power of two pekkas. Check the stats of both and compare. You will see your statement is far from off. It dies just like every troop, when it's Hitpoints are down to 0. WHICH I DID MENTION IN MY ORIGINAL POST!!!
Compare the stats of a Valk compared to the Hydra.

Way too op!!!

Lol finally someone understands.

I 100000000% Agree with this idea

Would be better than a typical dragon de troop if they are going to make that

The Improved stats look great! It's like a toned down golem which is great because I don't do many heavy ground attacks. Everything looked cool but maybe add in a favorite target 😉. Resources perhaps?

Ive actually wanted this idea for a while and ive talked about it with my friends youve only completed my idea...Many thx for that.

I wasn't thinking it should have a favorite target, but thank you for the support!

I would increase the DPS on it because 25 is like barbarian level damage... Lol

This troop is only level one, and it's DPS increases to 84 when it grows it third head.
