He is hidden so reinforced troops will deploy as soon as he is deployed but they will stand there doing nothing until he is revealed or other units are put on the field. Disarming traps will not reveal him but he will go after the reinforced troops if they are closer than the next trap but once he has been revealed he cannot disarm traps. Infiltrators can be revealed by Wizards Towers and Air Turrets. The Infiltrator is also an illusive unit which means all defenses will target other all other units before attacking him. This unit also clan climb walls, but he does this slowly.

Strategies for the Infiltrator. By placing the him as far away from the enemies castle as possible to give him the best chance of disarming all traps before deploying units, or send a small force to take out the castle and its units before placing him, adding in meat shields will also ensure if he is revealed he wont have complete focus by enemy units or defenses so he can continue taking out traps.

Counters for the Infiltrator. By sticking traps next to each other while he is disarming one trap the other will go off dealing damage and revealing the Infiltrator. Adding Air turrets or Wizard towers near your traps will allow you to detect the Assassin and give you the jump on him in allowing your defenses to get a shot at him before he goes and starts attacking before he even reaches his targets. The harder you make it for the Infiltrator to get to your traps the longer he will take running around before the opponent places more troops down giving them less time to win.

Nobody is going to spend the DE or waste 20 housing spaces just for something that disarms traps. Traps don't even do that much with most common strategies. This would just be a gigantic waste of a DE troop.

I like it but it needs some serious tweaks

i dont like it. it costs even more than a witch!

Traps can be very dangerous and are a big part of the game. You just have to use the right layout and place the traps strategically where they damage certain troops and protect certain areas.

I think the idea of a troop that disarms bombs is really cool, but it could definitely use some tweaking. You have already posted a thread of a troop disarming troop, "Assassin", and it has almost the exact same stats. That is pretty much bumping your thread, which is against the forum rules.

I'd say lower the housing to 12, or 8 even, lower cost to 100, and make speed 32. If it's cheaper and takes up less space, it will be very useful. Also, I think bomb and wizard tower resistances as well as a damage bonus against enemy heroes and clan castle reinforcements would make this even more appealing.

If you read my idea of the Assassin, I mentioned it was being superseded by the idea of the Infiltrator. My view was i was looking to have a too permanent unit with the Assassin which would end up making him another hero which i think having another hero would be a bad idea so i changed the stats to make this unit a more viable source.

Maybe tweaking him to coast a little less might be useful, but he is extremely strong and a great tactical unit so i feel the cost is very reasonable especially if you can distract the enemy defenses to allow him to knock out all traps and then has a meat shield for him to do damage while untouched. In terms of housing space, well he does more damage than any other unit and has a significant amount of health so he isn't just a grunt and therefor the amount you could have of this unit would need to be kept low.

Too much DPS

Updates to the idea to balance the cost/reward of having the unit are in blue.
