New Dark Troop Idea- The Dream Eater

[iEternal]

Here's another one of my personal ideas I've been tossing around with friends for a while. It's a DE troop, unlocked at TH10 that is perhaps one of the most unique troop ideas out there.

Flavor Text: Much more than a shadow, the Dream Eater absorbs the life force of enemy defenses and troops to fuel it's own fight! It starts off weak, but can grow to be a true terror!

Basic Description: The Dream Eater is a phantom troop, meaning it can only take damage from immaterial attacks, consisting of: Hidden Teslas, Wizard Towers, Inferno Towers, X-Bows, enemy Witches, Wizards, and Dragons. It starts off pretty weak, but grows in strength as it absorbs the hitpoints of enemy buildings and troops. It doesn't have a set attack, but rather an area of influence that it constantly drains hitpoints from with increasing severity as it goes. The more hitpoints it absorbs, the more powerful it gets. See below for a full chart detailing its strength gains.
Stats!
Training Cost: 750 DE
Training Time: 30 Minutes
Housing Space: 15

Chart Time!
Starting Qualities
HP: 750
DPS: 35
Area of Influence: 3 spaces
Movement Speed: 12
After 1000 Hitpoints
HP: 750
DPS: 45
Area of Influence: 3 spaces
Movement Speed: 12
After 2000 Hitpoints
HP: 750
DPS: 55
Area of Influence: 3.5 spaces
Movement Speed: 16

And so the pattern continues, with 10 DPS added for every 1000 hitpoints, another .5 area of influence added every 2000 hitpoints, and 4 movement speed added every 2000 hitpoints. There is, however, a cap, and that's set at 10000 hitpoints, as to prevent the Dream Eater from being too OP. I hope you guys liked the idea, feel free to comment or leave suggestions!

Great Idea! Needs some tweeking but still good.

Thanks! Any ideas on how to go about improving it?

I think the range of disipline should be a solid number like 5 and should only change with upgrades. And is the hit points for for the dream eater come from buildings and troops while attacking?

It is important to know the housing space.

I would say it is too weak.
By that dps I assume its housing space is not larger than 6. You will see a horde of dream eaters eating a single building and gaining no power upgrades.

Good idea but needs tweaking.

I buffed it a fair bit, and added in some new info. The point is that the more hitpoints it consumes, the more damage it is able to do. Think like a domino effect, with each domino getting bigger as it goes down the line.

Nice addition but the area of influence is only 2 tiles?! I think that is way too small.

Done some editing.

I think that's a great idea! However, I'm not sure if its going to be too OP or not. Otherwise, its a great troop and should be added I think if its correctly balanced.
