New troop idea w/ability

[FRY9000]

I have a general idea for a couple new dark troops. Could be OP, but maybe not with appropriate stats (housing space would need to be rather large - 50, 75 etc, whatever would be appropriate to make it not OP in the grand scheme - something too large to fit in a clan castle for sure; also set a limit of 1 per army).

I have not included specific creature stats, just their ability - a dark troop that's sole purpose is to attract and even absorb fire from a specific defensive structure.

Example 1: Flame Monster (or similarly structured creature) - When cast, Inferno Towers lock onto the Flame Monster and will not target any other defenses until the Flame Monster has been vanquished. The Flame Monster should have a very low DPS itself, and could either have no gain or a modest gain in HP as it absorbs fire from the Inferno Tower. It could be affected by all other defensive structures normally or with some other modification.

Example 2: Giant Voodoo Doll (or similarly structured creature) - Similar concept to Flame Monster, but would attract and absorb fire from X-Bows. This troop could either be immune to damage or take damage from X-Bows at a reduced rate. Again, until the creature is destroyed, any X-Bows in range of it would attack. Archer towers would not specifically target this creature but damage could be dealt in the same manner (either immune or at a reduced rate)

If I had to generalize stats, here are my ideas: Both creatures should have a relatively low movement speed (12), low to moderate DPS (~50), moderate HP (~400-500). The rest are up for debate.

If similar ideas have been posted elsewhere, I am not trying to steal others' thoughts!

Thanks for reading! What do you think?

i like it but it could be a little OP

50 space for a troop with 500 life? Are you kidding? You realize a single cannon would kill it in 6 seconds?

Like gringo said really weak for 50 spaces

Too little health. It's basically a giant that is immune to 1 defense. Not even as good as a giant. I think this troop would be better if it had like 8000 hp or something. That might be a little much...idk.

The stats weren't really the main point, more the ability. And the idea isn't only immunity to a particular defense, it's the distracting factor to allow other troops to temporarily avoid fire from the defensive structure. So if it needs more HP, it needs more HP. It's just not an ability currently in the game and if stats were figured correctly as outlined in original post, it could be interesting. That is all!
