New Dark Troop - Phalanx (Expanded with Details and (Terrible) Pictures)

Phalanx

Attachment 96054

A level 7 Dark Elixir troop carrying a solid Tower Shield made of pure Dark Elixir and is impenetrable to any who attack it. Phalanx will be immune to all attacks coming into contact with his shield which protects the front 25% of his body:

Attachment 96055

Target	Attack	Housing	Training	Movement	Attack SP	DB Level	Range
Any	Ground	30	45min	16	2 sec	Level 7	1 Tile

Level	Damage/Sec	HP	Training Cost
1	60	250	400
2	80	500	500
3	100	750	600

Phalanx has much lower HP than a Golem, and lower attack Power than a Peeka. With proper placement and knowledge of the troop AI, Phalanx has the possibility to go an entire match without being destroyed if placed correctly, although will die rather quickly when vulnerable to attacks. He will take 0 damage from the defense he is attacking due to the large shield, but will be vulnerable to other defenses within range.

Not bad idea, but it seems like having 2 or 3 with some wiz may run the field completely pretty easily if placed correctly.
Obviously this unit would be vulnerable to big bombs so that would cause some issues for the troop.
Now does it go for defense first or just nearest structure, casue that could be issue with OP or UP?

Very nice I would love to add this its a very good suggestion…

Deploy one line of them and they are nearly impregnable aganist towers.The Picture shoulde be this-

They would go for any, I figured if they went for just defenses, they would always be facing the defense. It would take some cutting to be most effective.

I suppose if people want to make 7 of these and no other troops, that's their decision, but with any reasonably made defense, 7 troops of 100 attack power wouldn't come close to clearing a map in the 3 minute time-frame.

You can create a good combo with wizard....

Guess they'd be expensive with a huge housing space eh?

Has the info up top, 30 housing. I guess I'm not certain, but I don't expect they'd be as OP as everyone is making it seem.
