a Defense's worst nightmare

We all hate to shoot and miss.. So why not use this nuisance offensively?

Introducing the Trickster! (Dun-Dun-DUUUUN!)

Bred from a family of cirkus-clowns, the Trickster is a master of agility and as such he moves in impossible ways!
Being a noble he has learnt no offensive manners and will therefore never harm anyone, whether they be of flesh of rock and iron!

To break down the idea:
A unit that moves at the speed of a Goblin (42). He deals no damage, and hasn't got a ton of health (200 at lvl 1)
He has an increasing percentage chance to dodge any attacks made against him.

Trickster Room:
I imagine him taking up 6-10 spaces in the barracks.

Unit Health:
lvl 1: 200
lvl 2: 240
lvl 3: 280
lvl 4: 320
lvl 5: 360
lvl 6: 400

Unit Dodge:
lvl 1: 50%
lvl 2: 55%
lvl 3: 60%
lvl 4: 65%
lvl 5: 70%
lvl 6: 75%

Unit Cost:
lvl 1: 2000
lvl 2: 2500
lvl 3: 3000
lvl 4: 3500
lvl 5: 4000
lvl 6: 4500

Buildtime:
2 minutes

(Keep in mind this is a rough introduction to the Trickster and I have not balanced things out!)
I hope you will look at this proposition with a positive attitude and give any inputs you might have :)

Best Regards,

Yeah if it's not going to attack anything why would anyone use it? It'll be a waste of army camp space.

Goblins are 32 speed not 42 its circus not cirkus and what use is it unless it draws fire from defences so that they don't get hit its useless also shows will murder them

what do you think of this for a new troop type?

Ochausis

ok

I thought it would be pretty obvious why you would need it...

The whole idea of it is to draw fire from your "real" troops.

Not saying it's a liable input to the game but I thought the idea was worth looking into.

And I'm sorry for my spelling, Nazi. :)

Honestly people how can you not understand what this troop does?
Anyway I simply wouldn't like seeing evasion of attacks and chance in clash of clans for raids

Thanks Rager

Nice to see someone who can imagine things :)

I understand your point of Chance in the game... Didn't take that into account.

Maybe CoC isn't the game for a dodgy type of troop :)

I do really like this idea, but it might have to high a chance to dodge. Also, you should make it look slightly like this maybe?Attachment 6920

Good idea. However, there should be approximately 5 damage per second, and the dodge chance is way too high at each level. Should go from, say 20% to 25% to 35% to 50% to 75%, being only 5 levels (I imagine this to be a dark troop).

This seems like a good idea.

This seems like a good idea. It has the same concept as a giant it draws fire so the other troops can do the work, right?

I think it will duplicate the function of tanks like giants and golems. I'd rather have the shroud spell suggested by a player if I want to keep defenses busy

Yes, Bacon

Something like that, without the bomb obviously :)

Or something like a Tricot.. in whatever color fits Supercell the best ^^

I'm okay with it doing a minimum of damage, BUT...
The Trickster will not stand still to hit something... In the case of it dealing any damage it should run up close or walls and immediate buildings, dealing dmg as he runs by.

And yes, maybe lower the dodge chance... starting at 30 and increasing 5% each level or something... Think it will make it more balanced :)

Give your input :)

If I'm not wrong, clash of clans attack replay is based on your troops placement location and time, then whatever happen inside (where your unit attack and dead) is not saved.
There must be a default algorithm to automatically replay the attack by using (bolded sentence above) cause when you clicked replay button and directly cut the wifi / network, the replay won't stop.
Don't tell me it's a video cause internet speed in my country is like 50 kbps / second and takes 1 second to start watching replay.

The point is : If the trickster had a chance to dodge, the replay could be different.
