I'll cross over from Fantastic Beasts.

Obscurus - A dark mass representing suppressed magical energies of a child. When deployed, it releases a shockwave that causes very minor damage to all units within 2.5 tiles of it. Here, it is portrayed as a suicide attack troop, much like Fire Spirits.

After it is deployed, it will move very quickly. It has a target radius of 8 tiles. Once it sees such a target, it will engage the target, dealing considerable damage as well as dragging it back, if it is a troop which survives. Owing to the huge impact, the Obscurus disappears after attacking once, the child controlling it having been expended. If confronted with more than one target when deployed, it will target the unit with the highest hitpoints, but prioritising troops over buildings. Once it has engaged a target, it cannot be harmed.

3 Elixir Legendary card. It is a flying troop, so it cannot be hurt by the Log or units that can only attack ground.

At level 1, it has 175 hitpoints, does 105 spawn damage and can cause 900 damage to the unit it targets. It has a 1 second deploy time and its movement speed is 150. It will cause 360 damage to Crown Towers, and drag enemy troops back 5 tiles.

Strategies:
 * You can use the Obscurus to move enemy tanks off of the frontlines and behind the damage dealing troops. However you should be sure to provide protection for the Obscurus as it is likely that other enemy troops behind the tank to attack and destroy the Obscurus before it has a chance to attack.
 * The Obscurus is great for stalling large and slow enemies such as PEKKAs or Golems. This will allow your towers and other defending units more time to take them down.
 * Its spawn damage is useful for changing interactions with troops - for example, you can destroy an entire Minion Horde by using an Obscurus as bait and allowing the Crown Tower to finish them. It can also be a hard counter to a Skeleton Army purely through spawn damage.
 * The health of the Obscurus is low enough such that a equivalently leveled Crown Tower will kill it in two shots. Unless on defense, it is not recommended to use the Obscurus alone.
