Card Settings

Card Name:

The name of the card as a whole. Will be shown in card info and when playing cards. Try to keep it fairly short.

Card Description:

The description of the card. Use this to add lore to the card or to suggest possible uses. Use "\n" for new lines as an ENTER character if you want to have multiple paragraphs. Don't make it too long.

Elixir Cost(0-20):

The card's elixir cost. Although 10 is the max in-game, if you want to mess around with max elixir you can possibly go farther. Lower cost troops generally are weaker than higher cost troops, and higher cost troops generally provide more value per elixir.

Basic Troop Settings

Troop Name:

The name of the single troop. Should be pretty similar to the card name above, but doesn't need to be. The first two letters will distinguish this troop in my engine. I usually keep this all lowercase(although this isn't required).

Health(positive):

The health of your troop. Higher health troops can tank more shots. Keep in mind spell interactions - Zap/Snowball deals 159 damage, Log-243, Arrows-303, Fireball-572, Poison-600, Lightning-877, Rocket-1232.

Attack:

The attack strength of your troop. This will be dealt to the target troop every fire rate. A troop's damage can help determine its role in a deck as well as how much health it should have.

Collision Radius:

This is how "big" the troop is. Most standard troops have a radius of 0.5(the default here). Bigger troops like Giants and Golems can go up to a radius of 1.

Mass(0-Building):

This is how "heavy" the troop is. Skeletons and Bats have a mass of 1, and most troops have a mass between 3 and 5. Some tanks and heavyweights can have up to 20 mass. Buildings have infinite mass, which is shown as 0 here.

Speed(0-Nonmoving, 45-Slow, 60-Medium, 90-Fast, 120-Very Fast):

This is how fast the troop is. Comparisons are shown above - sticking to them is a good idea. Buildings should have 0 speed but don't need to if you don't want to.

Range(tiles):

This is how far the troop can attack from. Melee troops don't show a tile range - short range is 0.8 or less, medium is 1.2, long is 1.6. All other troops show their ranges. Princess Towers have a range of 7.5, and the King has a 7-tile range.

Sight Range:

This is how far a troop can "see" - only targets within this range will be considered for attack. Most troops have a 5.5 sight range. Higher sight range troops are easier to kite and distract.

Fire Rate(seconds):

This is how fast a troop attacks. Longer fire rates generally makes troops weaker to swarms.

Load Time:

This is how long it takes for a troop to attack first. Balloon has a nearly instant load time, and Zappies have a fairly long one. A faster load time makes a troop more likely to win interactions.

AOE Radius(0 for point attack):

This is how big a unit's splash attack will be. 0 just is a standard single-target attack. Most splash damage troops have an AOE from 0.8 to 1.6. A spell's radius goes here if the troop's actually a spell.

Troop Type: Ground Air Hovering Building Spell Bomb (not reccomended) Underground (not reccomended)

This determines the type of troop. Hovering troops can go over the river but are hit by all ground attacks. (Glitches from Supercell's original dev build are patched.) Spell troops require more setup to work. Bombs and Underground troops aren't really meant to be used in a normal troop context.

Target Type: Ground Only Air/Ground Air Only Buildings Only Troops Only

This determines what the troop can attack. Air Only is a new option that isn't used by any troop currently - they can attack air and buildings. Troops Only is used by the Ram's rider - buildings, including Crown Towers, cannot be targeted.

Deploy Time(sec):

The troop's deploy time is the period after the one-second initial delay and before the troop can move and attack. Generally 1 second - exceptions, like the X-Bow, are rare.

Advanced Troop Settings

These control special effects that a troop may have, like slowing and snaring. Not all are present here.

Slow Time(sec):

This is the amount of time that a unit will slow an attacked enemy. Ice Wizard, Ice Golem, Fisherman, and Snowball all apply this effect.

Stun Time(sec):

The amount of time that a unit will be stunned when this unit attacks it. Stunned units cannot move or attack. Think EWiz and EDrag.

Snare Time(sec):

The amount of time that a unit will be snared when this unit attacks it. Snared units can only move at 15% speed. Ram Rider uses snaring.

Lifetime(sec):

If this is non-zero, the unit will slowly decay over time - after SEC seconds, it will die. Taking damage makes the unit die faster. Used mostly on buildings.

Spell: No Yes

If this is selected, the unit will be a spell instead. Spells can be placed anywhere. You must set health to 0!

Knockback Resistance: No Yes

Resist all knockback other than sudo KB. (Sudo knockback examples are Log and recoil.)

Stun Weakness: No Yes

Units that are weak to stuns will have their attacks reset upon a stun. Applies to Sparky.

Kamikaze: No Yes

Kamikaze troops die after their first attack. Think Ice Spirit, Fire Spirits, Wall Breakers...

Troop Placement Settings

Troop Count(1-4):

This will make your card spawn multiple copies of your troop.

Troop Spacing(tiles):

If your card has multiple troops, this will control how far apart they are when they deploy. Their hitboxes are factored in. A farther spread allows for your card to surround others more easily.

Deploy Time Stagger: No Yes

Staggers deploy time if active. First drop is the frontmost troop, going counterclockwise. 0.1 seconds between drops.
