Resource targeting troop

Goblins are the only resource targeting troop. I think Supercell should create a higher end troop that can target resources. Possibly a Dark Barracks 5 troop or Barracks 11 troop.

I'm not great at making stats, but I'll try.

Lets just say this is a dark elixir troop. It would be flying (doesnt have to be, just thought a flying dark unit might be coming soon anyway) and target resources. I don't know what it would look like, but since the hog rider is something riding something, maybe it could be a goblin on a pterodactyl. Since lv1 golems are 450 DE, this could be 500. I think it should really only be used for resources, so possibly 50 DPS with 5x for resources. It could also have about 3000 hp since it wouldn't be a tank like the golem. It could also take 15-20 housing.

I really tried to think out this idea, but as a TH7, I don't know a whole lot about what the higher level players want. In my opinion, this troop should only be available at TH9 and 10, or maybe just 10. I'd appreciate any additional details anyone wants to add, or a comment.

If you don't agree, please don't say "no 10 char" please give me some reasons so I can work on the idea.

seems cool. but needs more

Yea I know I need the opinions of some high level players who would be using this

Most TH9s and 10s who would want to spend 500 DE on a troop would not be hunting for resources. I think this troop would make more sense as a mod to the minion's AI instead.

It makes sense that there would be a a DE troop that would target resources. Most of them have a very unique ability so far, jumping, spin attack, splitting, so I would expect them to continue this trend.

DE troops really aren't on the menu (except minions as they are cheap) for resource hunters, though.

I think a resource targetting troop that cost a fair amount of DE would be counter productive. DE is rare enough such that I think it would be difficult to make a profit from one vs. simply using non DE troops.

Yeah or it would have made a good lv2 dark barracks troop if they hadn't made it yet. My idea was to make it more powerful, and minions can still be taken out in mass numbers just like goblins... I sorta hoped they would be used in small numbers but be harder to take down.

I would hope they would have a cool ability for it like a "last strike" balloon-style.

I didn't think of that... They would waste DE but hopefully pull in a lot of gold and elixir. It should be an elixir troop or a very cheap de troop. The problem is that if you make them similar to a minion, you would end up with a flying goblin.

Yeah the first thing that popped into my head was a cheap flying goblin...but that does seem quite close to a minion.
