New Troop (The Headhunter)
The new Troop is The Headhunter. The Headhunter is a Dark Elixir Troop, which you can add to your ranks once you have reached Town Hall 12. This poisonous assassin can hop over walls and deals 4x damage to Heroes. She deals poison damage to enemy Heroes and Troops, too. With a movement speed of 24 and an attack range of three tiles, The Headhunter is a Troop you’ll want to employ.
New Super Troops (Inferno Dragon and Super Witch)
You can now temporarily employ the Inferno Dragon and Super Witch Super Troops in your Clash of Clans army. It’ll cost you 60,000 Dark Elixir to upgrade to an Inferno Dragon and Super Witch. The Super Witch summons a Big Boy (a giant Skeleton), whereas the Inferno Dragon will fire off a continuous beam that gets stronger over time.
