Giant/Hero

“A titan amidst Goblins...a Hero among men. Hero Giant wastes no time showing his enemies who’s boss and who’s lost on their journey to the King Tower.”

The Hero Giant is a Rare card that is unlocked with 200 hero fragments. It spawns one single-target, ground-targeting, melee, and ground troop with high hitpoints and moderate damage. The Heroic Giant takes the appearance of a colossal humanoid creature with glowing yellow eyes, blonde mutton chops, hair and eyebrows, wearing darker brown pants, a golden headband, and a team-colored belt with a golden base and details along with the Hero Shard in the center, while being bare-chested and wielding a pair of brass knuckles as his weapon with pearl and gold armbands. A Heroic Giant card costs 5 to deploy, and his ability costs an additional 2 to activate.

Ability: Heroic Hurl[]

“Throws the highest-hitpoint enemy troop in reach across the Arena”

The Hero Giant has a special ability accessible from whatever side of the screen was put in, just above the player's card slots in battle. After a 1-second delay and when a unit gets in range, the Hero Giant activates his “Heroic Hurl”, grabbing the highest HP enemy troop within 2 tiles around him and throws them horizontally, also dealing damage to them when they land. While on the air, these troops are untargetable by ground-targeting troops and the Earthquake, but can still take damage from other spells. Air troops can be affected by the ability, but will take no damage when they land. The ability goes on a 14 second cooldown after the duration ends. The Heroic Hurl ability costs 2 Elixir to activate.

Strategy[]

For the purposes of determining Elixir trades, the Heroic Giant and his activated Ability count as 7 Elixir, as the player must play the 5 Elixir Heroic Giant and then spend a further 2 on his Ability.
This card would be good in Giant Graveyard decks as with its ability, it could prevent a knockback unit like the Evolved Mega Knight and the Monk from knocking it out of range of the Princess tower, so then the skeletons from the Graveyard can take the tower.
It would also be good on Giant Double Prince decks as the Giant can stil act as a tank, but now, it is able to add DPS to a troop with extra from the two brothers, so that if the unit is strong and a major threat, like the Evolved Mega Knight or Monk, you can use the Ability to knock it onto the other lane, which makes sure it can't hinder your troops' progress towards a 3 crown.
The Heroic Giant is completely ineffective against swarms, as he has no way to attack them directly, besides using his ability, which will only launch one unit.
He is also easily countered by any building, as the ability will do nothing against them. Even against the Barbarian Hut, it will, at worst, send one Barbarian away, while the remaining ones take him down.
When using the Fisherman against the Heroic Giant, he should be placed closer to the edge of the Arena instead of the center, This will cause the Heroic Giant to throw him to the other lane, but still be in range to pull the Heroic Giant to the other lane.
When using the Heroic Giant, it is always important to attack the same lane as the opponent. This allows the Heroic Giant to send their offensive card into the other lane, leaving it unsupported and easy to defeat , while their support troops are defeated by the Heroic Giant's support troops.
