Musketeer

"Don't be fooled by her delicately coiffed hair, the musketeer is a mean shot with her trusty boomstick."

Summary

 * This card is unlockable from the Training Camp (Tutorial).
 * The Musketeer is a strong troop, effective against air troops, such as the Balloon & Building targeting troops, or Minions, that have a small amount of hitpoints.

Strategy

 * The Musketeer can be used to backup higher hitpoints troops such as Giants.
 * As the Musketeer can target both Air & Ground troops, it's a powerful substitute to Archers, albeit at the cost of higher Elixir - 4 Elixir (Musketeer) for 3 Elixir (Archers).
 * Its large range allows the Musketeer to help lower hitpoints from a distance without engaging with defending troops.
 * The Musketeer's long range (6.5 tiles) is effective, as it can only allow a single Crown Tower to target the Musketeer.
 * The Musketeer can only attack targets individually, so cards such as the Skeleton Army or Tombstone are effective counters against the Musketeer.
 * Musketeers are also effective counters against a Cannon. Due to their long range, they can outrange the Cannon and destroy it from a safe distance.

Trivia

 * On 9/2/16, the Chest Rewards &amp; Card Balance Update decreased her damage by 25% and her Elixir cost to 4 (from 5).
 * On 19/2/16, the Balance Update increased her damage by 11%.
 * The Musketeer face is very similar to the Archer's face, and her purple hair is similar the the level six Archers in Clash of Clans.
 * The Musketeer is also similar to a Zooka in Boom Beach, as it has a long range, and has a similar shooting animation.
