New Troop....Gy the Piper

One thing that I like very much about Boom Beach is the flare. This allows you to guide the troops to where you want to attack. Here is my idea for the Clash version.

New troop called Gy the Piper. This troop has no attack abilities and should have a decent hitpoint value. A user would set it down and then give it a path to tread (either with a swipe screen or second hit like the barb king). Other troops would follow Gy the Piper until he is dead. Following troops would still attack the things they are custom to attacking (golums=defense, goblins=resources, etc.). Once the piper is dead the other troops revert to attacking at random. The piper can be upgraded, adding more hitpoints to prolong life.

Tell me what you think!

Feel free to leave comments on this. I have a little more description I can give. Also it will help if SUPERCELL hears if others think this is a good idea.

good idea but please add some costs and hp and dps, stuff like that.

The reason a flare works in boom beach is because of slow troop speed. You flare a few tanks over, and it does some damage, but requires quite a few to get proper positioning. Here, you use a few of these, with a mass barb, some jumps, heals, and a rage or 2. 1 star.

Ok so here are some particulars for Gy the Piper (Hero).

5 Levels
Damage per second = 0 (all levels)
Hitpoints = 3000 (3500, 4000, 4500, 5000)
Regeneration time = 30m (33, 36, 40, 45)
Ability Level = 1 (2, 3)

Favorite Target = ANY
Damage type = Single Target
Targets = ANY
Movement Speed = 15

Gy the Piper loves to lead troops into battle. The sound of his pipes are a clear path for all to follow. Once Gy the Piper has reached his target he continues to play his pipes no matter how fierce the battle gets.

Upgrade your hero to level 3 to unlock this ability. This ability is a sound barrier. When activated, all opponents clan troops retreat at least 20 spaces (25 spaces, 30 spaces) away from Gy the Piper. Once the Sound barrier wears off the enemy troops re-engage.

Use of Hero - to use the hero, simply place him down like the Barbarian King or Archer Queen. Once deployed the user either swipes a path for him to follow or clicks on a target (developers choice). This path remains intact for all troops to follow until Gy the Piper has been destroyed. At that time all troops revert back to their initial attack strategy. Benefit is that troops that usually stop and attack certain things now may be behind enemy lines and start attacking wherever they are (golem's still go after defenses, goblins still go after resources, etc.)
