Changes: Lava Hound/Lava Pup

Revision as of 08:00, 20 October 2014

"Thrust out in big numbers after a Lava Hound dies, these tiny creatures keep up the fight for a little while longer."

Level 1

Summary
- Lava Pups are spawned when a Lava Hound falls in battle. Although they vaguely resemble their parent troop in appearance, they are significantly stronger offensively and have only a tiny fraction of the Lava Hound's health.
- When a Lava Hound dies, it splits into 8 Lava Pups at Level 1, 10 Lava Pups at Level 2, and 12 Lava Pups at Level 3.
- Because they fly, Cannons and Mortars cannot attack them.

Offensive Strategy
- A group of Lava Pups can be wiped out by a single Air Bomb, so try to trigger it with the Lava Hound to make the Lava Pups live longer.
- Like Tier 1 troops, they're vulnerable to Wizard Towers, so distract them by more durable units.

Trivia
- Added in the 16th September 2014 update.
- They resemble Minions through looks and have the same stats as them at Level 1.
- Although Minions and Lava Pups are quite similar to each other, Minions have and attack range of 2.75 tiles while Lava Pups only have 2.
- As one of the three subtroops (the others being the Golemite and the Skeleton), it cannot be trained, placed or donated directly via the Clan Castle (although the parent Troops can).
