New Troop: Rage Twins - new game mechanic

Ok, this may be a bit of a hair brained idea. But what the heck. It can't be too much terribly worse than some of the stuff out here (or could it?).

Also, I'm hoping you all can give some good suggestions to help define the troops stats. I will do my best to keep this post updated.

So here's the basics....
Every rage twin has an equally powerful rage twin in another dimension. When a set of twins gets close enough to each other they can fuse together and then do hella damage.

In your army camp you would have 1 rage twin. When it is put into play, the other twin (we shall call him the shadow) also comes into play on the opposite side of the base. So if I play my rage twin on the left corner, his shadow appears on the right corner.

By themselves neither the rage twin nor his shadow do any damage. And they know this. And so they walk towards each other. During this time they can take damage. When they reach a certain proximity of each other they spend about 4 seconds casting a fusion spell which unites the twins into one fearsome troop. And then they go berserk on the nearest structures.

Should either the twin or the shadow be destroyed before uniting the remaining twin continues to roam the base in search of his long lost twin.

Some of the good things this troops brings to the game:
• a new game mechanic and new strategy. When using the Rage Twins the attackers priority becomes clearing a path and protecting the twins.
• a new consideration for defenders. Defense becomes more complicated as you are no longer focused on solely ppl rotating the town hall.

Some things need clarity:
• If the twin start on the extreme opposite sides of the base, the implication is they meet in the middle. If you've already cleared a path for them to meet in the middle you've likely already wiped out the base rendering the rage twins pointless. So should they just start within a specific proximity of each other?
• When placing the first twin down, what happens if the spawn point for the shadow is blocked by a structure?
• Do the Hit Points reset when the twins fuse together? This may have implications on how many hit points they start with.

Rage Twin stats (please give me suggestions; this is just a starting point):
Individual Twin and Shadow:
Damage: 0
Hit Points: 3000
Cost: 650de
Favorite Target: Rage Twin Shadow
Damage Type: n/a
Targets: n/a
Housing: 35
Training Time: 45m
Movement Speed: 14

Fused Rage Twin:
Damage: 400
Hit Points: 4000
Cost: n/a
Favorite Target: Any
Damage Type: 360 degree Area Splash (similar to valks)
Targets: Ground
Housing: n/a
Training Time: n/a
Movement Speed: 22

So there ya go. Thats my crazy idea for a new troop. Hit me up with questions and suggestions for improving the idea.

Not a bad idea, but it might be a while before sc adds something like that. The only problem with it i have is that i think if they are TWINS they should have the same damage statistics. Overall great idea though

PS. They should do bonus damage with RAGE spells

EDIT> Maybe make them flying? havent thought it through much but i think it would be hard for them on ground

Sorry. Perhaps my post wasn't clear. The twins do have the same statistics. However, when they fuse together they become one troop. The statistics listed are for the pre-fusion twins and then the fused twins.

Ohhhh ok i get it now.... great idea

Ok Clashers. I only had 17 brain cells to begin with and I used them all on this troop idea. I want to hear your thoughts. If it stinks tell me it stinks (and I will file it next to my previous troop ideas). But surely Rage Twins are the best troop idea since Supercell gave us barbarians. Right? Right?

Love to hear some thoughts.

Well this seems like a hard troop to implement... But i think it can be done... Im actually liking this idea, but i think they should be like (ghosts) and could walk through objects (walls,buildings) as they would just be stuck on a wall doing literally 0 damage. But this also seems abit op as they have 3000 hp each at lvl1 and 2 spawn so thats 6k hp... I'd rather just use this troop to tank like golems...

It is actually a unique idea:thumbsup:

I like it in the way that it is more unique and fair for the game but 3k HP to both of them? Then fusing them together would make 6k. That's too tanky for both of them. Make it less unfair by making both their HP to about 1k or 1.5k? Then fusing them together would make 2k (if it is 1k) or 3k (if it is 1.5k). But still, I like it though.

Oh and another note, you should've put this in the New Troop & Spell Ideas forum.

P.S.: You really didn't have to put its statistics as SC will do a lot of testing to see how tanky or not it is, how powerful or not it is, or how fast or not it is. It's up to them to see how tanky, powerful, or fast this troop is. Well, that's what it said on the Stickies in the New Troop & Spell Ideas subforum...​

I would love to have a new game mechanic, but this one is a bit too weird for me. In what strategy would it fit? Also when the twins fuse together (which will probably happen since they have 3000 HP) they become a bit of OP. Nice idea, but for now... no, sorry.
