▶️ The newest troop in Clash of Clans is the Root Rider and it’s OP! With 8000 hitpoints, defense targeting and the ability to melt through walls this is sure to be the ‘root’ of all your defensive problems!

Introducing the new Troop: Root Rider!

The Root Rider is an Earth warrior, and you can enlist her by upgrading your Barracks to Level 17 at Town Hall 15. What sets her apart is her strong connection with nature; she doesn't even need to walk – impressive, isn't it? And there's more to discover!

Charging into the fight atop a strong tree root, she can break down walls and crush defenses to bits! If you want to quickly create openings in your opponent's defenses, Root Rider is a great pick, as that's her main goal.
