Troop update extravaganza

It would be nice if the next update sometime this summer would give us some new troops to work with. The dark barracks have been empty for quite a while. I personally would like to see some support troops in the vein of the healer added in.

It would just be cool to see some gameplay options besides mass hog riders.

If supercell just filled up the remaining five slots on the dark barracks it would completely revitalize the game.

This and level 12 mines and collectors but hey, we can't have it all...

Troops are fine. Loot needs fixing.

Level 12 mines and collectors at th 8 would be nice

I'd love a new troop to put some life back into the game. Our current comps have been stagnant for a while

BUT

it would also be nice if they made current troops more viable.

1) Valkyrie - when is the last time you've seen this troop seriously? Sure she is undervalued but still...
2) Healer - This one is specifically for Th10. With 5 seeking mines and duel discos, she's a huge risk on the battle field which also makes giants not good enough for Th10 vs Th10
3) PEKKA - sure she is powerful but with that X2 damage from maxed teslas its safer to just pile on more Golems

It's all about how you use the troops. I guess what I meant was I would like to see more situational troops. Like a dark healer that rages instead of heals, a flash fire phoenix that does little damage but burns buildings in a fixed area, a huge troll that is a meatshield that does no damage but is the first troop that is targeted.

And the troops that aren't used like the valkrie have a place. They are good for defense because of the splash damage on archers. It's just right now everyone is looking for the troops we have to fit a certain mold. Theres not going to be a valkrie army but it can be used situationally.

I just want variety of attack styles to break open different bases. There shouldn't be a one size fits all army and one base that is indestructible.

I use Valkyries and there fame for dealing with CC troops is overstated. I am not saying their not good at it, but there not the best.

Vs Heros - Witches with some wizard support will put to shame any Valkyrie

Vs Wizards & Archers - IF you bunch them up, and distract them - then Valkyries are pretty good. But if you don't distract your Valkyries might be dead before they swing their axe. Their attack speed is too slow. A pair of witches or even just a collection of barbs and archers is often safer.

Vs Hogs - Performance is variable. They do pretty good but again that attack speed results in them wiffing attacks alot

VS Giant/Healer - Their great for this

I'd be fine with the Valkyrie being a specialist if it was the best troop for that particular job. But its only a good troop for the job, not the best.

New dark troops ? Umm don't think it's coming for some time..no good ideas listed..though they could work on valkyreis AI n could bring masterminds quests in next update

I prefer a unique defence for th8 like xbows for townhall9

You guys have a DE Drill and two upgrades (at least) for most old buildings. Very different game from TH7.
