Welcome! Thanks for clicking on this page!
Here, I'll be talking about the Mystic Essence, as well as the strategies they would enable, as well as their weaknesses and strengths. As a bonus, I also have a commerical idea!
NOTE: This thread has sections which are incomplete.
Second NOTE: This is a repost of one of my old ideas. It was popular, but got spammed down by all the Fresh Spawn ideas, thus it got buried.
What is the Mystic Essence?
The Mystic Essence is a troop which has an ability where it does not die immediately, rather, it explodes into 5 Lesser Essences, and they will continue fighting for 8 seconds, then they will combine back into a Mystic Essence. The Mystic Essence will split multiple times before its death, which means it will throw out Lesser Essence several times. Each time the Lesser Essences are thrown out, their health is equal to one-fifths of the Mystic Essence's current health.
Possible Stats:
Note: These are only to give you a rough figure of the Mystic Essence's strength. The final stats are completely up to Supercell and I have little to no control over them.

Strategies this troop would introduce:
This section is currently incomplete. You can help by commenting!
- GoMystWi - Deploy Golems to tank Mystic Essences and Wizards. Both troops deal high damage, and Mystic Essences can serve as a secondary tank to Wizards, because they both fire from a similar distance, but the Mystic Essences are slightly closer, and defenses will likely target them instead.
Weaknesses:
- Lesser Essences are extremely vulnerable to point defenses and traps.
- Inferno Towers can annihalate Lesser Essences. Setting one of yours to multi-target can help you take out Mystic Essences with ease.
- Mystic Essences have relatively low health for the price of high housing space. If an attacker poorly protects his Lesser Essences, the Mystic Essence will not be able to respawn as many times.
Commercial Idea (Yay! 
):
The typical commercial troops can be seen running up to the base, as usual. A Mystic Essence can be seen shooting magic at an archer tower. A nearby mortar kills the Mystic Essence, and then it explodes into Lesser Essences, which go after the mortar and after taking it out, recombine into a Mystic Essence. It wanders into the middle of three archer towers, which begin shooting at the Mystic Essence. Once again, it splits and releases Lesser Essences. They take out the archer towers and recombine into a Mystic Essence. Then it gets killed by defenses, and the Lesser Essences get blown up by a giant bomb (
moment) and several Barbarians come over, staring at the scorched ground and are like: "Huh?"
Trivia:
This section is incomplete. You can help by commenting!
- The Mystic Essence's original name was Shaman.
- Defenses retarget when a Mystic Essence gets killed, similar to a Hidden Tesla popping up, making troops retarget.
- You can fit a maximum of 12 Mystic Essences in your Army Camps. This increases to 13 if you include the one Mystic Essence which a Level 3+ Clan Castle provides.
- 5 Lesser Essences deal more damage than a single Mystic Essence, so using the same technique of getting Lava Pups out of a Lava Hound will increase your overall damage.
- Lesser Essences can be flung over walls.
