Thank you, do you have any suggestions on how I can make it better or is it good as it is?

I think it should deal extra damage to Archer Towers, Xbows, and Archers since the arrows will bounce off his tough armor...

I'm not too sure about this idea, I mean I can definitely picture Barch users bringing this troop into battle but in your description you said the troop would be more of a damage dealer and somewhat of a tank troop. My only concern if I were to use this troop is protecting this troop, because Air Defenses could easily destroy this troop without a few Lava Hounds around. I'm also concerned about the whole double damage ratio to troops... This troop would be one heck of a defense troop against Loonian, GoWiWi,GoWiPe, and GoWiWiPe. This troop would greatly challenge these troop comps because these comps contain Splash damage troops such as the Wizard or Balloon. If this troop does twice the damage on splash troops as well then it will definitely become more difficult to combat this troop if it were to be in a Clan Castle. I suggest just making the troop stronger on Splash Damage defense structures only, not the troops also. It would throw the balance off too greatly in my opinion. Another concern is; Why Splash damage defenses? Definitely wouldn't benefit the following comps I listed above, accept for Barch attacks...

Also, a full list of Splash Damaging Troops the Hawk will do double damage against.
Wallbreaker
Balloon
Wizard
Healer?(a Splash Damage Heal...)
Dragon
Valkyrie
Witch

What is a SAM? And on that list, OK then, that would be way too OP.

I'll limit the list of Splash Damage troops. New list

Wizard
Dragon
Balloon
Witch

Seem OK? Wall Breakers are totally uneeded to target lol. And it's splash damage, a healer does no damage. I really don't think Valk is needed. Is it?

Remember that Hawks take up 5 space. A max CC can only fit 6 Hawks. This troop is actually more attack based than defense.

In the description I said it wasn't really a tank and more one of those fast low health troops meant to deal lots of damage when alive.

Splash damage defenses because mortars and wiz towers are very powerful. All ground comps have to worry about them and Air Comps have to worry about the Wizard Tower. It'll also be immensely useful in Barch and GiBarch.

That would be OP. It's just meant to do extra to splash defenses.

Oh, I see.

Well, the primary defenses against these are supposed to be Air Bombs and air defenses. These would get taken out in about 3 hits from an Air Defense. But, as to balance it, the hawks can turn into the fastest troops in the game when at low health, so they have a chance to miss the hawk.

STATISTICS
It's not very tanky but meant to deal lots of damage while alive. So one of those fast damage dealers with low health.

Housing Space: 5

Training cost:
50 DE as a level 1 and then 50+ DE for each level. So a level 4 War Hawk would cost 200 DE to train.

Training time: 5 minutes

Attacks every 2 seconds

---

DPS-DPS to Splash defenses
Level 1: 87-174
Level 2: 95-190
Level 3: 111-222
Level 4 125-250

---

HP
Level 1: 400
Level 2: 521
Level 3: 667
Level 4: 751

---

Speed stat is 28. Fastest troop in game currently is goblin with speed stat of 32

Speed increase if below half-Speed increase if health is red
Level 1: +1-+2
Level 2: +3-+4
Level 3-4: +5-+6

So, if the War Hawk is a level 3-4 and is below half health, it becomes the fastest troop in the game.

---

CC Defense:
If a hawk is in your clan castle, it will do double damage to splash damage attackers, aka Wizard, Balloon, and Dragon (might have forgotten some)

---

Appearance through levels:
Level 1: Brown Hawk with gray metal armor
Level 2: Slightly darker with darker armor as well
Level 3: Hawk turns black and gets larger. Armor is tougher. Talons are also sharper and thicker
Level 4: Hawk remains black, and the armor gets lots tougher. Talons are also now covered in armor and sharper. Eyes turn blue with red pupils.

---

ARMY COMPS
Hohawiwi: Hogs and hawks take out the defenses while witches and wizards deal damage.
Hawkbarch: Hawks take care of the mortars and wizard towers while Barcch destroys
Hawkaloonion: Full on air assault.
HawkWizard: Hawks clear defenses, Wizards deal damage on ground
More soon when I can think of them

HOW TO DEFEND
Seeking air mine/Air Bomb + group of Hawks = Hawks obliterated. Try to efficiently use these in your base.

DARK BARRACKS DESCRIPTION
"The War Hawk is a quick beast. It roams the skies. It's menacingly tough talons cut through the toughest metals and objects"

STRATEGIES:
Drop these hawks with Giants/Golems/Hogs to effectively take out defenses
Drop in front of any army comp using archers to take out mortars
Work well with wizards
Do not immediately send hawks to the front line. Send a tank in front first. Although the Hawk outspeeds the tank, it will let the hawk live longer.

COMMERCIAL IDEA:
Am tired will work on in morning

ANY OTHER INFO:
Increases speed as health drops due to losing armor. (Thanks clannis!)

I just don't see a Hawk or something with that Name ever being Added to Clash of Clans. :unsure:

I love this idea but maybe make it a griffin to go more with the COC theme

See, it kind of looks like the main problem with this troop is the animal and not the stats :smirk:
