Dark Hydra

[Mathyis]

I would like to share my idea to introduce a new dark troop named Hydra. Hydra's were in Greek mythology as a reptile like creature that possessed many heads. I think this could be an interesting addition because of all the variables that could be added with this troop.

- Available only at th10
- Have only 1 or 2 levels depending on the health and damage range the developers decide on
- Make the creature with 4 heads and at each damages ranges it splits into smaller versions to continue attacking. First range would be split in half ( 2 creatures w/2 heads) and then as they hit a certain damage they split in half as well. In the end will be 4 separate creatures running around breathing fire.
- Special ability is it could target up to 4 buildings at one time but with that idea each head would have to be rated with a certain strength where its weaker for single attacks and very strong like a pekka when they all focus on 1 building.
- The idea behind this character is to make it like a ground type dragon that serves as a tank (not as tough as a golem) but can still attack. The ability to attack multiple buildings and split once damaged would be its perks to spice up attack styles.

Seems soooo OP

Does not need the dark infront of hydra though. We dont have a light hydra


The OPness could be handled by high housing space and high training cost or low hp.

I do see it having a problem targeting 4 things at a time unless you drop it in the middle of a base with a hole.

Also sounds like a th11 kinda troops to invite people to upgrade and move on up

Interesting idea. I'm picturing a walking inferno tower (the multi-targeting aspect). In fact, I think it should be able to walk while it continues to attack, so it would try to walk to where it can hit multiple targets (like the valkyrie), but not stop attacking while it's moving. Movement speed would need to be slow, like a giant/golem I think.

Obviously, we don't want this to be OP, so high health AND high DPS seems like it can't be done. So we'd need to pick one or the other.

High attack DPS, low hit points, means you would need to tank it. It would be a cleanup troop like the witch, sort of like a multi-targetting wizard (picture 4 wizards walking as a single group, each picking different targets).

High hit points, low DPS, would make this more like a walking, multi-targeting dragon.

Both options seem feasible, and if the stats are balanced correctly, I don't think it would be OP. Balancing the stats will require a lot of play-testing by Supercell.

That is uncalled for. However the idea has been overly requested (as in 3x a day). If you have the same idea as another person you can add onto their thread, but we don't need to have 800 different hydra posts.
