My proposition (Fish Eater, Water Link, Armored, so the 2nd one) is:
- to make this troop tanky enough to stay in 1st slot (ie Armored). The spell (ie Choose a colour. Destroy 8 gems of the chosen colour. Deal [magic+something] true damage to each enemy of that colour.) could misfired and so, some tankness is appreciate in case of possible skull given to the AI Stoneskin is another choice, but the 3-traits combinaison would have been too great for an Epic troop.
- to add some synergy with other aquatic troops and because this troop could be in 1st slot, so it’s cool to have a attack booster against Submerged troop (ie Fish Eater)
- Water Link, for more synergy with Blackhawk troops (main color is Blue) and Links are always nice
