New Troop

[FearedJaximus]

Dear Supercell,

I have an idea for a new troop. The Dark Locust. It would be a dark troop that deals double damage to its favorite target, which is the nearest dark elixir source (cc castle loot, would be secondary target).

This disadvantages of this troop would be that it is very squishy (i.e. low health), it costs a similar amount of de to a minion, and it also takes up 2 housing units. The most unique thing about this troop is the way it travels like a locust. What I mean by that is that it would fly a set distance (lets just say, the radius of mortar's range) before it lands for a short pause, setting off any ground traps and briefly targetable by ground defenses, only to take off again on another bound torwards its de feast. When it reaches a dark elixir source, it lands on the ground to inflict physical damage, again vulerable to ground defense. While it is flying, it can set off skeleton traps set to air, and air bombs, but not seeking air mines.

Depending on what you are looking for, Supercell, you can increase how much damage it does to its favorite target but then weaken its damage on other builds by tweaking the damage muiltiplier.

Thanks for reading.

The use of the Dark Locust would predominantly be clean up, perhaps behind a loon raid or hogs.

I think the disadvantage of being both flying and ground is a great one. Thus, it can be used on any new troop to counterbalance its great advantages. There could be an elixir based locust that has ranged attacks, and that targets heroes and cc troops, and so on.

Its interesting I think. But I can't be sure because you had to self bump it.

Don't self bump. If it is interesting to enough people it will get posted on and keep itself alive. if it rolls off then its not grabbing anyone other than you and I. If it is not then bumping it is just spamming.

Interested in this one and if my take on it is correct I'd use some of these to lure those hard to reach ccs in war.

It's basically a DE Goblin that only goes for DE and sets off all traps in it's path. That's a big no-no.
