New Dark Troop idea: Dark Skeleton

Description: These skeletons are ready to bring chaos! Born out of dark elixir, they are much tougher, and faster than a regular skeleton (wall breakers).

Housing space: 25
Training time: 30m
Movement speed: 15

It's HP and DPS is a bit OP for something that both has 10 housing space and targets defenses...

It does seem a OP but I do like that it does X2 against defenses. Seeing as how it would do x2 to defenses I think it should have a lot less health because it would make other units who favor defenses obsolete. Like Giants for example don't do x2 but do prefer defenses. If anything it would be a combo. This unit could be weaker than the Giants who distract defenses but could accompany the attac with the Giants who can absorb the damage while the real attackers melt that health away.

I managed as best as I could to keep this idea balanced. :)

This troop needs a look....

I'm not great at drawing but I'll try my best so I can show the look of this troop... :/

Its HP and DPS is still too high

(That is, it's still comparable to a PEKKA that attacks defenses with no weaknesses)

Any special weakness that this troop has?

If its a dark troop, its a little bland. It needs a unique ability otherwise its just a bigger Witch Skelly

Lower the DPS and Health.
Only the first two troops are level 7. Why introduce a new one with 7?

This is a pekka that targets defences. To be real... It is.

Venomben

what if when it dies, it creates a small tar pit in a 4x4 tile radius that slows EVERYTHING (including friendly troops) down by 25 percent in attack (and for troops movement) speed?

So this is just another version of P.E.K.K.A... I'll see what I can do for special... :/ (OK venomben, I'll take part of your idea.)

I know this idea needs a couple of improvements so if you like you can post a comment on what I should improve.

Nobody else thinks the damage this thing would do is unrealistic? At level 1 it will do 600 dps to defenses. That is far greater than any unit including the pekka. At level 6(ignoring level 7 cause not that many troops go there) it will have twice as much health as a level 40 AQ and do the same amount of damage, except instead of a 5 second boost to damage your unit will do an outstanding 800 dps to all defenses for an entire attack... Way too OP.

Nothing wrong with a Skelton troop from dark barracks. You just need to nerf him.

Hopefully this improvement helped

I nerfed the DPS a little, I hoped that helped it make it balanced. :)

I just want to know if it's still the same as P.E.K.K.A... :/

Venomben

reduce the dark tar pit help to doubling damage for 2 seconds at level 1 and add 2 seconds each new level, level 6 will have 12 seconds of damage boost.

i think that..

Maybe you could make it like a hero unlocked at th8 and could cost 20000 of DE.

If it were to be hero, I'll have to increase the health and damage. I want this to be balanced. Sorry man... :/

Venomben

health should be around 1500 at lvl 1 adding 150 per lvl
dps should be around 115 w/ 2 second attack,
housing space at 35
de at 475 increasing by 15 per lvl
just my take
