Should have a giant rat the has significant hit points and medium damage. Its favorite target are heroes and clan castle troops. Back story is it attacks by spreading the black plague that lingers and reduces enemy hit points even after the rat is dead. Once defeated it spawns into mini rats with reduces hit points and damage.
Really need a troop class to help against heroes and clan castle troops.
I like the plague idea and it seems like it would be a pretty cool new troops. Good idea but needs more thought. ;)
Rats favorite target would be heroes and cc troops. They also rip through walls like cheese (lol). The carry the black plague so the slow heroes and cc troops down for a short period of time after being attacked. They are giant and spawn addition mini rats with drastically reduced stats, but still inflict the plague effect. The have moderately high hit points and medium to low damage stats. Their weakness is skeletons, since they are already dead. Skeletons can inflict big damage against the rats, but take no damage from rats so traps and witches can counter rats. Since rats come with high hit points and spawn additional mini rats they need to be reasonably high in dark elixir cost and take a significant amount of troop space.
Rat can be used in combination with giants and golems as defenses for them and help cut through walls. I would use an attack party of rats, giants and archers/barbs or wizards. Leading the attack with giants and rats to go after defenses followed by the clean up crew to finish off a base. Walls become a major concern after lvl 7 rendering giants ineffective. Rats would bring giants back into play after th 8 and allow for other then air operations or gowiwi.
Some questions to answer:
-What do you mean, "eat through walls like cheese"
-Would they spread the plague to the walls?
-How much damage would they do? (Would have to be quite significant to do any damage to maxed heroes)
-How fast does the plague spread?
-How many spaces does this troop take up?
-Is it ground or air?
Some critiques:
-No difference between using lightning spell and wallbreakers
