Sneak peeks!!!:d

[Anarchos]

All I saw was the tweet that said wait till the end for another sneak peek. He mentioned hero regen time at the end of his vid.

Any ways I found the troop! Fits with fire and the feline skull on the new barracks. Meow!

I do believe you have discovered the new troop. You win the internet.


its possible the hero regen time is what SC was referring to, but that was already posted on the forums. Why release the same sneak peak twice? Seems redundant.

Excellent observations.

Here are my thoughts:

The phoenix isn't ruled out. What if it is a phoenix this whole time? And what if that's why they chose Galadon to give the sneak peek hint about what the troop is?


Lets look at the dark troops:
NEW TROOP: Flying? Large? Slow? Tank? Hits all Buildings? Non grouped attacker?
NEW TROOP2: Flying? Large? Fast-ish? Tank-ish? Hits all Buildings?

Its possible, I would like to see a flying dark troop tank.

Ok, so there's been a ton of speculation about the new troop. So I thought i would do some digging and maybe try to figure it out.

first off is graphics. Since CoC was new many barrack and dark barrack upgrades had hints in their appearance that referenced what troop was unlocked. However not all upgrades to the normal barrack have references.


Normal Barrack:
L1 barbarian unlocked, swords in front.
L2 archer unlocked, target and arrows added.
L3 goblin unlocked, no reference.
L4 giant unlocked, no reference.
L5 WallBreaker unlocked, bombs and bones added.
L6 balloon unlocked, balloon launch and rope tethers added.
L7 wizard unlocked, spell cauldron added.
L8 healer unlocked, golden platform added.
L9 dragon unlocked, scorched air louvre with fire below added.
L10 pekka unlocked, grey metal added and pekka head on roof.


as you can see there are only 2 normal barrack upgrades that don't have a reference to the troop they unlock. Now let's look at the dark barracks.


L1 minion unlocked, cauldron of purple substance( minion vomit?) added.
L2 hog rider unlocked, hammer of hog rider added.
L3 Valkyrie unlocked, axe of Valkyrie added.
L4 golem unlocked, arm and hand of golem added.
L5 witch unlocked, skulls from witches staff added, blue fabric(resembling witch cloak) added.


as you can see all 5 dark barracks appear to have a reference to the troop unlocked at each level. Remember that, we'll come back to the graphics....




Further digging brings us to Galadons sneak peak video. SC said a hint to the troop is in his sneak peak video. Lots of people are saying look at the Phoenix. However the Phoenix on the shield has ALWAYS been apart of Galadons video intros so i don't think it has anything to do with the troop. His choice of wording in 3 sentences is what piqued my interest.


'what could be hidden in the fiery looking dark barracks?'
'our burning anticipation.'
'what could top the golem?'

the first 2 quotes he sounds out of character, and both times references fire. This could mean the graphics from the level 6 dark barracks coupled with Galadons wording do in fact men the new troop will have some sort of fire aspect. Wether its a troop that breaths fire, or a troop that is set aflame, is unsure. However the references on each level of the barrack/dark barracks have indicated more times than not the ability of troops rather than the look. So my guess is the new DE troop will shoot or spit or breathe fire/lava.


Galadons final quote is what really made me think. He says 'What could too the golem?' Huh? The golem was unlocked with the L4 Dark Barrack. The witch topped the golem. The fact he said golem makes me think the new troop will be a tank.



So there you have it, i dont know what it will be called or look like but my guess is the new DE troop will be a fire breathing/shooting tanking unit. Don't flame me too bad.

The "top the golem" may just refer to the fact that I believe the golem is Galadon's favorite dark troop.

We can see that it may be somewhat of a large creature given the size of the skull. Large does generally equate to tough.

Like this hasn't been spotted a trillion times now...

I hate to sound annoyed but, there's a sneak thread.

Lets be honest though, posting on that thread is useless, i doubt anybody is reading the 5 posts per minute.

Nothing for low lvl alts and actual. Noobs. Disappointing "Veteran", very biased update. Even my Th7 gets nothing but walls being somewhat easier.

If it's not on the first page I don't read it.

Here are my thoughts:

The phoenix isn't ruled out. What if it is a phoenix this whole time? And what if that's why they chose Galadon to give the sneak peek hint about what the troop is?

Also, i do agree that its probably a fire breathing troops or a fire throwing, or something that shoots some type of lava or flame.

Lets look at the dark troops:

Minion: Flying, small, fast, frail, hits all, grouped attackers
Hog Rider: Ground, jumps over walls, medium, fast-ish, tank-ish, defense first, grouped attackers
Valkyrie: Ground, medium, fast-ish, somewhat of a tank, hits multi buildings, hits all, grouped attackers
Golem: Ground, Large, slow, bulky tank, defense first, splits in 2, non grouped attacker
Witch: Ground, medium, fast-ish, frail, hits all, skeleton summons, grouped attacker for skeletons
NEW TROOP: Flying? Large? Slow? Tank? Hits all Buildings? Non grouped attacker?
NEW TROOP2: Flying? Large? Fast-ish? Tank-ish? Hits all Buildings?

My only thoughts with regards to flying tank would be that it would need incredibly high hp, (probably a bit more than golem) purely because of the dps of any decent air defense

I'm pretty sure when the witch came out, she had 2 levels. I don't remember level 2 being added later.

[sirhybrid]

Good question. Didn't Pat know that the new troop will be to TH9 too though?
Daddy has intel like all mods

I believe they said that on twitter.


Mods get intel on updates as well? I thought it was just on gameplay.

You get walls, which is huge and you get Hero regen time reduction.

AKA your going to max your base a lot quicker

I kinda hope it is a feline based troop. Cats are VERY smart, so if it is feline related, so should the AI. Just as long as it isn't a cat, but is rather cat based!
