Pikeman

Hey, this is a simple idea for a new dark elixir troop I was suggesting, this would be its stats...
Favourite target, any
65, damage per-second
350, hit points
3, housing space
Range, 0.5
16, movement speed
Attack speed, 1.3 seconds (sweap attack 1.7 seconds)
3, minute training time
Damage type, (single) and a occasional (sweap) a sweap attack
Targets, (Ground)
Training cost, 11 dark elixir
This troop is available at dark barracks Level 2 same as the hog riders giving town hall 7's a new troop to practice with, Level cap from 1-3 is available to upgrade 1 time in TH7 (level 5 laboratory) and 2 times in TH8 (level 6 laboratory) more troop levels in future updates.
amount of damage, hit points and dark elixir cost are up to supercell to increase by what is appropriate. Any other things I have missed or need improving can also be fixed by supercell.

Thanks for your time reading my message your doing an awesome job with clash of clans, and I hope my troop idea earns a space in this truly amazing game!

A sweap attack, deals half damage of the maximum damage

Question: can it attack over walls? (I imagine yes if he's a pike thrower)

I like the idea of a dark troop that takes up 3 housing space and has bit more hp. Since ground attacks aren't very popular at th7 I can see this helping in that regard if it can be unlocked along with hogs at dark barracks lv2. I can also see this troop being used often for raiding and even for defense in the clan castle.

My criticism is that the hp is a bit too high..I think around 300 would be good. But good job, I like the idea of it and think the game is missing a troop of this kind since it will give people choice and variety. (better than barbs, more stamina than wizards, but an attack not as powerful as the wizard's)

For some weird reason, when I clicked on the thread pikeman....I though, shadow kings?

Reply to azuritalia, the pikeman cannot attack over walls because my idea is that the unit is using two hands on the weapon at all times

Also there Can be some improvements with troop stats if need be... Depending if the troop is successful it might be good as it is 👍
