Shadow

The Shadow is the first Drone you can make at the Drone Factory. It is the only troop that is capable of doing reconnaissance (recon) missions.

Unlike other troops, the Shadow comes with recon strength, instead of attack power. It only battles other Shadows. When a recon mission is undertaken there are two options. The same situation occurs when a player targets your base, except in reverse.
 * 1) Just survey - Use the drones to look at your target's base. Destroyed buildings hint that they have been attacked already and probably have no troops there. Alternatively, they may look very tough and make you want to avoid that target. You will loose and gain nothing.
 * 2) Attack - You get one chance to attack. Click on one of your target's buildings and their Shadows will battle yours. The greater the recon strength, the higher the chance of winning is. If you win you will get a handy report of your target's troops. Be warned though, some players will retaliate if you recon them, even if you do not attack.

Note: Doing recon missions will allow the target to see your base on their map.
