The Priest (NEW Dark Troop)

Hey CoC community,

I've had this troop idea for a little while now and thought it was time to fully implement into a real possible troop idea. We all want to fill those slots in that dark barracks so I'm going to present a troops that I feel players will want to use during their attacks. The Priest, or pick a name not so religious, is a unit based off the freeze spell. Its ability is too lessen the damage an enemy defense will do to your troops. We have troops based off spells so I don't think this idea is too far fetched (barb king and rage spell, healer and heal spell, hog rider and jump spell, [maybe wizard and lighting spell?]). One idea that this troop would be useful in would be to follow in after a giant, or other heavy troop rush. It would minimize damage to your army as they progressed. The percentage that is blocked would increase for each time the Priest is upgraded in the lab. Below I will have some ideas on different stats for this troop. One last thought before I give the stats, I think there should only be 4 lvls for the troop due to how useful it could become.

The Priest Stats:
Preferred Target- enemy defenses (if donated in clan castle boost your defenses damage?)
Attack Type- Melee (ground only)

Training Time- 5 minutes

Lvl 3 Specific Stats:
Special Ability %- 35%
Hit Points- 520
Training Cost- 155 dark elixer
Research Cost- 37,500 dark elixer
Lab lvl Required- 7
Research Time- 8 days

Lvl 4 Specific Stats:
Special Ability %- 50%
Hit Points- 670
Training Cost- 180 dark elixer
Research Cost- 45,000 dark elixer
Lab lvl Required- 8

For the % that the enemy defenses lose, it should not be stack-able, if you were to use more than one Priest, each one would focus on a different nearby defense.

Thanks for your time in reading all this, please leave comments, suggestions, critisisims, really anything. Just give some feed back and hopefully if you all think it is a good troop SUPERCELL will be able to add it into the game.

Keep Clashing!!!,

Sounds like you gave it some thought, that's pretty cool. If this troop's effect was able to stack with healers that would seem rather OP, if not though it could work.

I think my main concern is having a DE troop with the contradicting name "priest" :p

I agree that the name Priest is too religious, one think people should post is a better name for this unit. I also see your reasoning with (what we call it now) the Priest and healers but wouldn't you only need one or the other, I think you would be wasting troops that could be used differently. I see what you are saying though, maybe, if a priest is added, the healer will heal less if a priest had been placed down, may be hard to implement but that could work.

I like this idea a lot and think it would be a good addition to the troop mix. You have clearly put a lot of thought into it.

Thanks. Also, I agree with you, I think it would work really well with some giants or wizards. Also would be really help full for clan wars.

Hey guys, so I decided that people should vote for the Priest, if you really enjoy this idea just check the Yes Priest box. If you think its good but should have a better name then check that box. If you don't like this idea just check the no box and please leave a comment why you don't like it. Thanks so much!!!

P.S. May be a bit late because you probably aren't reading this until you voted if you voted before you read. PLEASE READ WHAT I WROTE BEFORE YOU VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

I like this idea a lot. Also, what would the priest shoot to decrease defense power? A spell, lightning, green goo?
I also do agree on changing the name to like Shaman or something idk.

Would love to see this in-game!

I like how you already thinking about its appearance ;). I think, like what you said, a green goo that covers up where the defense shoots or just a beam that brightens the defense so you know that is what is working on.

It would be really great if I could get more criticism on this unit, constructive feedback, whatever you want to call it.

For clan castle it should shoot the enemy troops.
