clasher
One who collides
A clasher is someone who clashes—who comes into conflict or collision with others.
The word appears in contexts of physical combat, ideological dispute, or personality friction: The two clashers squared off in the parking lot.
In gaming communities, particularly around Clash of Clans and similar titles, a clasher is simply someone who plays the game.
