Miner

"The Miner can burrow his way underground and appear anywhere in the Arena. It's not magic, it's a shovel.​"

Summary

 * The Miner is unlockable from the Builder's Workshop (Arena 6).
 * He is a single target, melee Troop with high hitpoints.
 * Unlike all other troops, the Miner can be deployed anywhere on the Arena.

Strategy

 * Due to his ability to be placed anywhere, Miner can be used for surprise attacks.
 * He deals 60% less damage to Crown Towers, so it's recommended not to use him on them.
 * However, he can act as a surprise tank. A Miner backed up by high DPS troops such as Goblins or Skeletons is a cheap way to deal immense damage.
 * Use Miners to destroy enemy buildings when they are distracted. He is also a great counter to spawners.
 * You can also support your pushes by deploying the Miner next to your troops.
 * The Miner can take out squishy but powerful troops such as the Princess or Musketeer that are protected by a tank.
 * Being a single-target troop, the Miner is very weak against a small swarm of troops, such as Skeletons, which distract the Miner and prevent him from attacking nearby buildings.

Trivia

 * The Miner was added to the game on 3/5/16 with the May Update.
 * On 18/5/16, a Balance Update increased Miner's hitpoints by 6%.
 * It is the only Troop card that can be placed anywhere on the Arena.
 * The Goblin Barrel can deploy Goblins anywhere on the Arena too. However the differences are that the Goblin Barrel is a Spell and deals Area Damage on impact.
 * Note that the Goblin Barrel flies over everything, so your opponent can easily see it coming, while with the Miner, it is harder to predict its destination.
 * The Miner, the Ice Wizard and the Princess are the cheapest Legendary cards.
 * It is the only troop to deal reduced damage to Crown Towers.
 * When the Miner is digging to his desired location, the dirt in the arena is uprooted even if the arena is not made of dirt or the Miner is going over a bridge.
 * It is unknown how the Miner digs through the river.
 * Or how the Miner can dig through places with no river like Builder's Workshop.
 * The deploy time timer for the Miner only starts when he has finished digging.
 * The Miner has inferior hitpoints and DPS (especially against Crown Towers) compared to a Knight that is 8 levels higher than the Miner. The two main advantages of the Miner over the Knight are unlimited placement area and a slightly faster movement speed.
