Firecracker
Forest
Firecracker is a Common, Forest-trait troop costing 2 Elixir. Her shot explodes into a damaging cone on impact, and she physically recoils backward with every attack — a real positioning quirk, not just animation, that can walk her clear of melee attackers trying to close the distance between attacks.
