I understand you get it at th8 but no other defense at th8 has 80 dips and especially if it targets heroes if it gets on a queen she'll be dead in 10 seconds it's basically like a very good version of an AT that targets heroes

It's dps is a bit high even though it takes a bit to hit. It would 1 hit alot of troops though.

As said in the title of this thread, this would target HEROES. To bad you ignored me. 😜

A lot of troops? Two is not alot, last time I checked.

So, I can lower the dps, but recall that the dps is so high because the Scorpion only shoots once every 2.5 seconds. Also, the Scorpion is a single target defense, so it may one-shot most troops, but it will still only kill one troop at a time. (Heroes first.)

Oh and, if I were to change the damage stats, what would you suggest? (Note that changing Damage per Second changes the Damage per shot as well.)

A scorpion as a defence? No tower? I think the looks of it will be more appealing as and OFFENSIVE troop.

You are obviously not familiar with ancient weaponry. A scorpion is essentially a light ballista (Used by the Romans as an artillery piece and probably adopted from the Greeks). It shoots bolts propelled by a torsion spring. Actually... a Scorpion is a lot like an X-bow.... So I should probably call this a Ballista....
