New DE Unit Proposal: Frost Knight
New DE Unit Frost Reaper
- "What makes this unit/spell unique compared to the other units/spells in the game?"
This unit would be have a direct attack like that of a pekka. However, what makes this unit unique is its ability to slow the firing rate of defenses. Its attack would prioritize single target defenses. Higher percentage slow rates as you rank it up. I would probably advise making it 15-25 housing spaces since spamming it might make it OP. The second part to this unit would be frost armor. Basically it's armor, or a shield, that caps incoming damage to say 50-100 damage per hit.
(Optional 3rd ability is to amplify damage to frozen targets)
- "What kind of strategies this new unit would enable (concrete examples are best)?"
This unit would be perfect for tanking single target infernos and units/defenses that do high damage per hit. Archer towers, and x-bows, would make quick work of these units, but mortars and other slow but high dps defenses would be less effective. This would in the end give players a viable somewhat medium cost option for ground attacks over the now super popular lavaloonion or balloonion strategies.
- "What kind of army composition includes this unit or, how it could combine with other units for more advanced strategies?"
This unit would be useful with the standard gowipe or giwipe strategies in that it would tank for ranged units right behind the golems or giants. It could also be useful in barch attacks if the player wanted a unit that could tank for primarily mortars.
- "How someone could redo their base to protect against attacks from this unit?"
The best way to defend against this kind of unit is to cluster defenses instead of spreading them out. Have each defense covering at least one or two other defenses.
Note:
The specific numbers would be pretty hard to crunch right now so I'm not going to bother, but I will say that since this unit is meant to "tank" it should have a pretty high housing req and somewhat high hp level. maybe somewhere between a giant and golem. Thanks for reading!
