Minotaur - Wall Shatterer
WARNING: This feed is rather long because I've put as much detail in it as possible, so that you all can see my vision. Please try to read all of it before commenting and If this comes off a bit OP, keep in mind only TH10 players will be able to unlock this beast.

Good changes! It doesn't replaces the wallbreaker as much as before. I think the Minotaur could actually function pretty well with a few wallbreakers.

Description:
The Minotaur is a mighty axe wielding beast, but why use an axe when you have wall-piercing horns? Use him to break a base wide open and let your melee troops in
Core Idea
- Walls + Weak Tank
- Make Valkyries (and other melee troops) Relevant Again
- Favorite target is walls but because of his strength, he doesn't just stop at the wall but does quite a bit of damage to the object behind it too
- Attacks by lowering his head, charging through the wall at great speed (2x normal speed) with his horns, and then swinging his axe in an upward motion
- The Minotaur must pause for 1 seconds to charge up before breaking a wall, and needs 2 seconds to recuperate afterwards
- Unlike a wall breaker however, a Minotaur has a secondary target. If there are no walls with enclosed buildings within a 6 tile radius, the Minotaur joins the attack force swinging that vicious axe left and right at an attack speed of 2.0 seconds
- Although he carries an axe like a valkyrie, he does not attack like one. Instead, he attacks a single building with 1 big chop
Bonus
Minotaur is friends with the Hog but hates the Hog Rider

Offensive Strategies
- The Minotaur (as long as you keep him alive) acts as a war general, leading troops through walls instead of around them. Use him in the front lines to direct your troops to the center of your opponents base
- ValGoTaur - Because of the Minotaurs tendency to make troops cluster or group up, supporting troops should have HP enough to withstand splash DMG defenses. Valkyries are a perfect candidate for this job. Use Golems to distract defenses as well
- KnighTaur - Use a couple of Smashers "Knight's" to distract and kill defenses. The Minotaur will help get the Knight in to max reflection position in no time. Not to mention both of these troops benefit greatly from healing spells
- WiGoTaur - Use your Golem to distract defenses from targeting your Minotaur. This allows you to use less healing spells and more rage/freeze spells for your high powered wizards
- Giant+Healer+Minotaur - For Farming, a Minotaur is a giants best friend. Watch it guide the giants to the defenses with ease, and let your cheap troops do the rest of the work
Defensive Strategies
- Defenses should use simple maze configurations to spring trap Minotaurs and potentially ruin an entire attack strategy
- Plenty of small enclosed structures will keep the Minotaur busy for longer than hes worth. Might be better to use a ranged army for bases like these
Base Design
Ideal For Minotaur
- No "T" joints in sight
- "Box-in-Box" design
- All walls are close enough to target
- Place a Minotaur by a base like this, and watch him create a straight path directly to the TH

Not Ideal For Minotaur
- Plenty of enclosed single structures
- A lot of "T" joints
- All walls less than 6 tiles away from each other
- A Base like this would keep a Minotaur busy for days...

FAQ
Wouldn't Minotaurs completely replace Wall Breakers?
- For users not willing to give up 20-40 housing space, no. Minotaurs require a completely new strategy plan which could be fun for users to experiment with
Do Minotaurs go straight to the middle of the base?
- In a simple "Box-in-box" base the answer is yes. Just like Wall Breakers however, the Minotaur favors "T" joints, making it possible for users to direct him around, instead of through their base
How does a Minotaur decide when to stop breaking walls?
- As soon as every encased structure is opened. If ranged troops have destroyed all structures inside the enclosure, the Minotaur should move on to his next target
Recent Changes
- Increased speed to Barbarian Jog
- Training time increased from 15-20 min
- Changed targeting to 6 tile radius for walls
- Removed 2x big bomb damage
- Increased HP
- Decrease Charge up/Cool Down Time
