After days of sneak peeks, Supercell Games has finally released the latest update for Clash of Clans, dubbed the "Dark Spell Factory." The title is clearly inspired by one of the updates biggest new features, the Dark Spell Factory, which will provide players with three new Dark Spells — Poison, Earthquake, and Haste.
Revealed over the course of the past week, Poison slows and drainst he health of defending troops; Earthquake does area of effect damage on all nearby buildings and walls; and Haste speeds up the movement of your attacking units. All three of these spells can be created in the Dark Spell Factory and take up one slots in your inventory, while traditional Spells take up two slots.
In addition to the new spells, the update brings a massive overhaul to Clash of Clans' competitive multiplayer. You can find the full details for all the changes to multiplayer and Tropies here.
