Rare Troops
Hog Rider
A reliable card against towers. Zoom past troops with his moderate-high health and blazing fast speed and landing a hit or two on towers while letting out his signature scream "HOG RIDER!" — all for a measly 4 Elixir. Also, his hog will jump over the river! However, good building placements easily draw him away, and he is seriously helpless against swarms and tank busters.

- Build around its splash / control role rather than treating it as a universal answer.
- Its target profile is buildings; cover targets it cannot handle with another card.
- Test the card in friendly battles after balance updates before relying on exact interactions.
