New Troop: Lycanthrope

Attachment 92417
Unleash the dark and ferocious power of a lycanthrope. Unlock the beast from the Dark Barracks and surprise your enemy with a night attack.

What makes this unit/spell unique compared to the other units/spells in the game
Unleash unforeseen terror on your enemy village with the lycanthrope. It jumps back into the game from a spring trap activation, scales walls and can be summoned only at night.

What kind of strategies this new unit would enable (concrete examples are best

The lycanthrope is the ground troop equivalent of the minion. Its fast, has a low training time and needs less dark elixir. Its best for taking out spring traps, clearing out the perimeter buildings for P.E.K.K.A.s and by a stroke of luck, getting spring boarded by a trap, inside the enemy's core defence.

A great strategy would be to a) Release the lycans to clear out a path for PEKKAs
b) Use it in a similar way as a minion, i.e. to clear out the remainder of a base.

What kind of army composition includes this unit or, how it could combine with other units for more advanced strategies

This unit has 3 unit space (to solve the odd troop composition scenario), has a Dark Elixir from 10-25 depending on the level and a movement speed of 32.
A typical TH 7: 10 lycans, 12 Giants, 5 Wall ♥♥, 3 Dragons, 40 archers
Advanced Combo: 15 Lvl 4 lycans, 15 Lvl 5 Hog Riders, 5 Dragons OR 3 Golems, 15 Wizards, 3 Witches, 8 Lycans, 5 Wall B's

How someone could redo their base to protect against attacks from this unit
The unique part of a lycan is that it can be summoned for an attack only at night (for the attacker), thus making it unpredictable for any defending base

Some measures:
1. Place bombs near the spring traps
2. Always keep some air borne troops in the Clan Castle.
3. Pray the enemy does not use a Lycan :)


What say, guys?!
