Mercenaries are troops payed with gold,and unlike other troops,they don't blow up after battles.However,you can only hire 100 of them each war,so you can't make an all-mercenary army.They cannot be donated.Unlocked at TH8.Each time your clan starts a war your in,a Merc camp appears in a random place in your village.It can be moved.
They bring their best weapons,so undoubtedly they are strong.
Mercenaries that I am thinking of:
Armored War Elephant-Can scare the hell out of Archers,Wizards,and Witches(These troops will run whenever an Elephant is near)
Has 3 levels
Resistant to melee damage(Recieves only 50%)
High health
Medium damage
Attack method-The elephant rider throws javelins
Countering:This troop has rather stupid AI(It acts much like PEKKA).Putting non-essential buildings outside with make it waste time while your defences shoot at it
Peltasts-They are javelin throwing troops with peltai shields,which can block arrows.
Has 4 levels
Resitant to arrows
Low health
Medium damage
Bad at melee
Countering:This guys have low health,but they are impervious to arrows.Cannons,WT,Mortars,and traps are way to counter them.
Arbalist:Cross-bow wielding troops.They have less range and attack speed that regular archers,but have higher health and damage.
Has 5 levels
Medium health
Medium damage,double against un-armored targets
Countering:
Like wizards,they are vulnerable to point-defences and traps
Swordsmaster-Skillfull and armored warrior wielding a double-edged longsword.Has twice the attack speed as barbarians.
Has 4 levels
Medium health(Recieves double damage from magic)
Medium damage,double against melee foes
Countering-
Wizards and Wizard Towers do double damage to them
Feedback is welcome.Tnx.
