Pumpkin Barbarian

__NOEDITSECTION__
"Who would've thought that pumpkins make for good makeshift armor? The pumpkin helmets provide these regular Barbarians some extra hitpoints until they get destroyed."

==Summary==
*The Pumpkin Barbarian was a temporary troop that was available during the 2017 Halloween, and is available during the 2021 Halloween, though only available in the Pumpkin Graveyard challenge. They act like regular Barbarians wearing pumpkin helmets that prevents them from being killed in one shot, like the shields in Clash Royale. However, they can still be bounced away by s.
*After the pumpkin helmet gets destroyed, they become regular Barbarians.
*Like all other temporary troops and spells, the Pumpkin Barbarian can't be donated, and can't be upgraded in the Laboratory. However, their levels are dependent on the Town Hall level.
*
==Offensive Strategy==
*The Pumpkin Barbarians are completely superior to normal Barbarians of equal level, having a shield in the form of a pumpkin whilst having the same health and damage. If you use Barbarians in your attacks, you can replace them with Pumpkin Barbarians which can be more helpful in your attacks.
*Since they have a similar nature to Barbarians, you can use them in the same fashion as you would with regular Barbarians. For instance, you can pair them with Archers (and Minions) to form a cheap farming composition.
*Since their pumpkins prevent them from being one-shotted by anything, it is much less risky to use them in large groups since a Giant Bomb will merely remove their pumpkins if they still have it on. However, the pumpkins have low hitpoints and can be easily removed by any ground defense or even a Bomb.
