I did a lot of thinking about the name and Giant Knight was my favorite.
Giant (for troop) and Knight (for a chess piece like King / Queen)

Picture sketch of Giant Knight + The shield on his back:

Note: I was thinking when he levels up, change the color
of the crosses, shield, shirt, belt, helm, or all five.

Hero Information:

- Special ability: Provoke. The Provoke Ability taunts (ground) enemy defenses and Clan Castle Troops so that they change targets to the Giant Knight, in addition to increasing his damage, restoring some of his health and summoning up to 5 Giants to aid him in battle. The Giant Knight gains this ability at Level 5, and it becomes more powerful every five levels he gains.

- Because of his heavy armor and massive HP, the Giant Knight takes double damage against arrows. This includes Archers (Clan Castle Troops), Archer Queens, Archer Towers, & X-Bows

So are you telling me Giants are all Catholic?

There are no choices for what i would vote. I would have chosen" make this available to th 8"

Overview:
First of all, this idea is very creative, and the concept of a new hero that takes on defenses fascinates me. I also like the ability, and that it summons giants to help out and attack instead of smaller units like Barbarians and Archers. The extremely high hitpoints could mean that it could help out to tank for your other troops with Golems, or could help out when your troops are near the Townhall. This should definitely be unlocked at TH10, as it is a very powerful troop, with over 10,000 hitpoints at level 40. Although it doesn't deal too much damage, it can actually deal a solid amount of damage when you use the ability.

Questions:

• Is there any particular link between the level of the giants summoned and the level of your giants in the lab?
• Are the giants affected by the damage boost like the Giant Knight is ?

Summary:
This troop is very tanky, and can be ideal when pushing towards the center of a base, and could make some people set their Inferno Towers to single target to help defend against this mighty hero. I also like the concept of this hero defending, as it can distract enemies for a long time before going down. Every single concept of this Giant Knight hero is intriguing, and I am voting a 5/5 because of that. I really hope that Supercell sees this, and considers this when releasing a new update for Clash.

Hope this helps!

Crosses symbolize spirituality and healing. The four points of a cross represent self, nature, wisdom, and higher power or being. Crosses suggest transition, balance, faith, unity, temperance, hope, and life. They represent relationships and and a need for connection to something.

BUT the cross is one of the earliest and most widely used Christian symbols, and if Supercell wants they have the right to remove it lol

I'm not asking them to make this exactly how I proposed it, I'm just thinking a Giant Hero would be nice now that it's a tier 1 troop.

I didn't think it would be fair to make Giant available before the archer queen because the order you unlock troops is Barbarian, Archer, then Giant.

First off I really appreciate the feedback, and second off, I thought this through I just forgot to put it into my thread as this took really long to type out and it was getting late :P

Here are the answers to your questions:

The Giant Knight gains this ability at Level 5, and it becomes more powerful every five levels he gains.

- The Giant Knight's Provoke ability summons Giants of the same level that the player has researched in his or her Laboratory. For instance, if the player has researched level 5 Giants, the Giant Knight will summon level 5 Giants.

- Only the Giant Knight is affected by his Provoke ability, this does NOT affect any friendly Giants that are spawned.

- Upon using his Provoke ability he gets the damage increase permanently, therefore it can be used in three ways:
1) At the start of battle to get the attack bonus.
2) In the middle of battle to taunt enemy defenses.
3) In the middle/end of battle to restore some of his health.

- Because of his heavy armor and massive HP, the Giant Knight takes double damage against arrows. This includes Archers (Clan Castle Troops), Archer Queens, Archer Towers, & X-Bows

I was thinking that if and only if this hero would bring imbalance to the game, as in it would make 3 starring TH10 bases really easy they can introduce a Hero Trap. Something that would trigger off of only hero's and do % HP every hit.

Something like Nev recommended here:

The heroes are the only troop the ghost will target and will remain silent in the absence of a hero's presence.

What you are looking at is an exact depiction of the Crusader’s Cross worn by Catholic warriors (knights included) during the Crusades, particularily the English. Since this is the “Giant Knight” so you basically know it’s based of European knights who wore the symbol to express their faith. Don’t going around telling me the cross is not specifically Christian, because everyone should know it’s Christian. I mean, it’s the same white robe that knight’s wore under their chain mail, the helmet is an only darker version of the English med-helmet.
Although in medieval periods kite shields were common, during the Crusades, the Christians would sometime plant metallic plates (similar to your Hero’s shield) into the sand as to claim the area for the Crusaders.

Summoning Giants? Now that’s just OP.
