I. legend+Description
Long ago, in the town of Cortana, lived a cruel chief named King Jenkins. Jenkins, after robbing several other chiefs illegally of there gems, quickly forced his builders to work day in and day out, until his base had reached the pinnacle of their current technology. The other chief's, enraged that jenkins had broken the Gemless Treaty of 0 A.D. which forbid the stealing of gems, signed a temporary treaty to put aside there petty arguments until Jenkins was killed, and his city burned. Unfortunately, the base Jenkins had built was far beyond the power of the chiefs to breach. Jenkins, however, grew increasingly paranoid of not only invasion from the other chief's, but of all creatures which could do him harm. In order to protech himself, Jenkins seldom left the comforts of his Town hall, while ordering his guards to execute all living things withn a 100 mile radius of his base. This action all but eliminated animal life, which caused the land to be desolate, except for the rare leaping hogsm which the hog riders required for war. However, Jenkins actions had... unforseen... consequences. 1 year after his order, a race of creatures unknown to the world appeared. These Bird Snakes, as they called themselves, descended from the sky. (D) They appeared to be a simple red snake, covered with red feathers, with marvelous green wings, a yellow beak, and bright green eyes. The snakes pleaded with Jenkins to stop his extermination of the animals in the ocean and the forest. Jenkins, who feared the Bird Snakes, told them to wait in his clan castle while he contemplated there suggestions. However, once they were inside, Jenkins ordered his Wizard batallion to destroy the CC, and the snakes inside. However, one snake overheard Jenkin's plot, and flew at top speed to stop the wizards. Unfortunately, he was to late. The lone Bird Snake, no longer with a flock, flew off in search of other chiefs, in hope of taking revenge on Jenkins. The Bird Snake then found his way to the Council of Elder's, who were plotting how to take Jenkins out once and for all. When the Elder's heard of the Snake's story, they were enraged. However, with the bird snake's knowledge of Jenkins base, the elders were hopeful they could win i a war, and launched their entire army immediately, in hopes that Jenkins would be defeated before he could rearrange his traps. The battle had lasted for only 1 minute when the Bird Snake noticed that the army was being defeated. Wary of his odds of defeating the base if this assault failed, he puffed out his cheeks, and let loose a poisonous cloud around an archer tower. The Bird Snake knew his poison had no effect on human's, but he still had to try and damage the buildings. However, the archer's remained unscathed, and readied an arrow to kill an advancing P.E.K.K.A. The arrow flew towards the P.E.K.K.A... and missed completely. The puff of poison from the Bird Snake had obscured the archer's vision, making her shot miss. With the newfound help of the Bird Snake helping keep there troops alive, the tide of the battle was turned, the TH was destroyed, and Jenkins was executed. The bird snake then, pleased with the success of the battle, and how his old flock was avenged, flew off, in search of other Bird Snakes, to rebuild his race.
II. Summary
- The Bird Snake is a support troop, and does no actual damage to buildings.
- The Bird Snake shoots a puff of poison out, which blinds enemy building, giving them A CHANCE to miss there shot.
- Since this troop would be useless attacking a builder's hut, it ONLY target's defenses. If all defenses are dead, but only your Snakes are alive, then they will just pointlessly float there, like a healer when all other troops die.
III. Strategies with this troop you can use to aid other troops
- Use the Bird Snake on fast shooting defenses like X-Bows, since they will miss more shots throughout the attack effect than a slower firing defense, like a cannon.
- Best used with lava hounds to tank the damage, along with some stronger attacking troops to destroy bases.
- Use with troops with slow attack speed, so there not taking as much damage while they wind up an attack.
IV. Armies that would be powerful with this troop
- GoLavaSnakeArd Use Lava hounds to tank the snakes, golems to tank wizards, wizards to kill, and snakes to blind.
- LavaLoonSnake General concept of a lavaloon applies, but now you have Bird Snakes stopping even more damage from being applied to the baloons. (Can also throw in some minions if you wish.)
I'm really not that good with thinking up troop comps, so if you have any, please, tell me.
V. Defensive Strategies
- Place slower firing defenses near your base border, so your more effective defenses can destroy the snakes.
- Set inferno tower to multiple, since the Bird Snake can't affect them, they will be defensless against the murder rays.
- Set X-Bow's to air, just for that extra damage to the snakes.

VII. Questions
Q: Why does this troop do no damage?
A: Because if there was a troop that could make a defense miss AND damage the defenses, you just spam them, along with a few cleanup goblins or whatever, and auto 3 star.
Q: What TH will this be unlocked at?
A: TH10 would get the troop. It has updates going until TH11, then SC will have to add in whatever.
Q: Why is there no artwork?
A: Because I'm a terrible artist and can't draw anything to save my life.
Q: Why is there only 2 questions actually pertaining to the idea?
A: Because I coudn't think of any more but I wanted to look like I was answering people's questions.
