New DE Troop Idea: WARDRUMMER

About:

- War Drummer will be included as a part of Dark Barracks Troops.
- It will be the 2nd support troops after the Healer
- It will be a Non-Attacking, High-HP, Slow-Moving unit whos main purpose is to buff the troops with Speed and Damage as long as the troops are inside his area of effect.


Physical Characteristics:

- Looks like hog rider but instead of a hog, it should be a giant lizard of something
- The drummer is more like an Orc than a barbarian, he holds club and two drums.

Statistics:

Preferred Target: Allied Troops
Buff Type: Ground and Air
Housing Space: 40
Training Time: 60m
Movement Speed: 10
Buff Speed: Continuous
Dark Barracks Level Required:7
Range: 10 tiles (radius)

At Level 1:

Speed Buff: 10
Damage Buff: +12%
Hitpoints: 2000
Training Cost: 500 DE
Research Cost: N/A
Laboratory Level: N/A
Research Time: N/A

Note:
- 2 war drummers buffs do not stack. only the coverage will increase if placed correctly.
- 1 war drummer can be used as def for CC (provided CC space will be increased to 40). After war drummer gets out of the CC, it can be lured to be killed. If it stays on the base, it will buff nearby towers for increased damage and speed. (though its hard to lure it since it is slow)


Any comment and constructive criticism will help. Please no unnecessary flaming. Respect everyones work. Thanks.

- reduced lvl 1 / lvl 2 hp from 4000/4500 to 2000/2500.
- reduced the radius from 20 tiles to 10 tile radius
- reduced damage buff of lvl1/lvl2 from +30%/+60% to +12%/+20%

1. I don't like the idea 👎
2. HP is way to much, never going to kill that, has more HP than a max BK, like ♥♥♥?
3. Way to much range, it will be at the end of the map and still be supporting troops in the center, never going to land a hit on that. So this becomes OP

4. The damage buff is a lot.

Thanks for the reply .. then what do you suggest ?

meeh my bad .. wrong subforum .. but you can still comment guys thanks! :D

What about some girl with like silverish hair that is magnetic and throws arrows and cannonballs off course but can be killed by wizard and tesla and inferno towers hit points 100 no damage per second as she just defends other troops and housing space 5

so a moving Rage spell. Don't like it. Too over powered. Not to mention if it's non-attacking, where does it go? It needs a target.

Actually, I like the idea of a mobile rage spell. Isn't that what a healer is?

Healer Pro's:
* Flying, so avoids walls

Healer Con's:
* Only heals ground troops
* Only flying target most of the time


I personally think a "rager" is long overdue. I also think it should be a ground troop. I picture a demon walking around, but that might look a lot like a red pekka (the size and the horns).

Anyway, I don't particularly care how it looks, but I think a rager would be a nice addition.

The problem with the OP's suggestion is, if it speeds everyone up, they would constantly be running out of range (because it's so slow).

Also, it needs to be like a healer, chasing a target or a group. Otherwise, how would it know where to be? The healer hangs far back, so it basically gets tanked by whatever it's healing (except against Air Defenses). Will this troop hang back as well? Or will it try to be right in the middle? If it's in the middle, then a circular area effect makes sense. if it hangs back, then it needs to do splash damage like the healer.
