New Dark Troop: Dragon Slayer
New Dark Troop unit: Dragon Slayer!
“The Dragon Slayer, he who has no fear of dragons comes forth to battle. His soul resonates with the dragons, helping one another in harmony…or rather wrath if you prefer”
Summary
· The Dragon Slayer is a Melee type unit, and can only target Ground Units; however this is not the case when he finds an enemy dragon. (He is able to directly target the enemy dragon as an air type attack)
· When near a Dragon (friendly or enemy), the Dragon Slayer gains a slight damage and speed boost, similar to a rage spell. This increases as he levels up.
· The Dragon Slayer can be picked up by a friendly dragon, and over walls like a drop off, however only if he is close enough
· Be cautious this Slayer's pride can be easily shot down by a cannon, as they do extra damage to him
What Kind of Strategies this Unit would Enable
· If placed as a defense for the clan castle in a clan war, it would make it much harder for a dragon raid to get a full 3 stars, because usually a dragon raid is way over powered, so the Dragon slayer can even out that imbalance of power.
· Pair the Slayer with dragons and giants (or golem if you wish) to ensure that the Dragon Slayer won’t die, while they pull out their full potential
· This would mean that air defenses would be even more crucial to have at a higher level, as the dragons give them extra power
· The user has to be careful where to place his/her dragons and dragon Slayer, as they may cross paths or go stray from one another (or if you think they should stay near one another please do comment so). As well as having to be careful where and how strong the enemy air defenses are.
What kind of Army Compositions include this unit
· Golems + Dragons + Lava Hounds + Dragon Slayer (and if u want +healer) : Very expensive- The ground attacks would be absorbed as well as the air by the golem and lava hound, thus giving the dragon and Slayer time to resonate their souls and destroy everything together.
· Dragon + Dragon Slayer: This is more of a cheaper way to still inflict a lot of damage, as said above they go well together hand in hand as the dragons are very strong and the dragon riders gains a buff.
· Giants + Dragon Slayer + healer: Still a cheaper way and effective. The giants can be grouped with the Dragon Slayer, as he targets a defense as well and is a ground troop with high damage and medium hp. This would go well with giants, as they don’t do much individually, and have enough HP to withstand some attacks.
How to redo your base to protect from this unit
This unit is vulnerable to cannons, and is ground only. So distribute evenly your cannons throughout your base. It would be common to use Dragon Slayers on a dragon raid, so there won’t be many ground troops to absorb the enemy buildings attacks, making it harder for the poor guy…poor, poor Dragon Slayer
