Clone Spell
"Turn this Spell into a pop-up army!
Clone Spells create a circle of spawning that creates limited-lifetime copies of troops that enter it. It will only spawn up to a maximum housing space of troops."
Clone Spells create a circle of spawning that creates limited-lifetime copies of troops that enter it. It will only spawn up to a maximum housing space of troops."
- Summary
- The Clone Spell is a spell that copies troops that enter the spell's radius.
- These copied troops are equal in level to the original troop. They last a limited amount of time, and can be destroyed prematurely by defenses.
- A single troop is sufficient to generate copies of itself for the housing space of the spell level.
- It can clone all troops except for Heroes.
- Cloned Golems, Witches and Lava Hounds will split into or summon their respective subtroops also in the cloned status.
- It can also clone subtroops, including the Skeleton Spell's Skeletons. For this purpose, eachGolemite is assumed to take 15 housing spaces (needs confirmation), each Skeleton takes one and each Lava Pup takes ? (needs confirmation).
- Spawned troops from the Heroes can be cloned.
- Lower leveled Clone Spells will be unable to clone Golems, Lava Hounds or P.E.K.K.As. A level 3 Clone Spell will be able to clone all of them.
- Clone capacities from multiple Clone Spells won't be combined, unlike Army Camps which always combine. For example, two level four Clone Spells won't clone seven Baby Dragons.
- Offensive Strategy
- Try using the cloned units as tank for the original units as they lasts for the limited time.
- The cloned troops does not count to the Eagle Artillery's housing space to activation, but don't forget that the Clone Spell itself counts as 20 troop housing spaces.
- Trivia
- The two spell bottles behind the main bottle on the icon represent the cloned troops.
- This is the only spell that takes up 4 housing spaces, and it is the most expensive Elixir spell in the game in terms of per one spell, but it is the cheapest if counted per housing space.
- The Clone Spell is slightly greener and brighter than the Freeze Spell.
- The Clone Spell is similar to the Mirror card from Clash Royale, able to make duplicates of troops.
- In both Chinese localizations of the game, the Clone Spell is even translated as "Mirror Spell".
- This is a reference to the Mirror from Clash Royale, as both are spells and can clone troops.
- In both Chinese localizations of the game, the Clone Spell is even translated as "Mirror Spell".
- Among all elixir troops, dark troops, elixir spells and dark spells, the Clone Spell is the only one whose introduction into the game doesn't also introduce a new upgrade level of the corresponding army building.

Haste Spell
"Put some hustle in even your heaviest units! Haste Spells lack the damage boost of Rage Spells, but provide an even better boost to movement speed. A lower storage space also allows you to take more of them into battle!"
Summary
The Haste Spell is a Dark Elixir Spell added in the July 1, 2015 update. Like a Rage Spell, it boosts the speed of troops in its area of effect; the Haste Spell, however, does not make them deal extra damage. The Haste Spell has a slightly smaller radius than a Rage Spell.
Offensive Strategy
Haste Spells may be used to counteract the effect of Air Sweepers. The Haste spell is most effective in aiding slower but more powerful troops, such as Balloons, Dragons and P.E.K.K.As. Before the July 2015 Update, Balloons were combined with Rage Spells to increase their speed. When the Haste Spell was introduced, Lavaloonion, LaLoon, Balloonion and other variations saw new light due to the larger speed increase and consuming half the housing space of a Rage Spell.
Trivia
The Rage Spell's name in game files is haste. A level 1 Haste Spell has the same speed increase as a level 5 Rage Spell, its maximum level. For every 1 level the Haste Spell gains, the amount of speed it gains is always increased by 6.
Poison Spell
"Nothing takes down enemy troops better than this deadly poison! Cast this spell to create a lingering toxic cloud that slows and rapidly drains the health of enemy units. Poison Spells have no effect on enemy structures."
Summary
The Poison Spell is a spell added in the July 1, 2015 update. It is the first spell available in the Dark Spell Factory. It does damage to all enemy Troops, Heroes, and Skeletons inside its area of effect, as well as slow them down, but does not damage buildings whatsoever.
Offensive Strategy
A Poison Spell only takes one housing space, whereas a Lightning Spell, the other spell used to deal with Clan Castle troops, currently takes up two housing spaces. This makes the Poison Spell very appealing as a way to deal with Clan Castle troops. A Poison Spell has a circular area of effect for progressive damage, whereas a Lightning Spell has individual lightning strikes in a predetermined pattern, so both can be used in a similar fashion. Which is ultimately more effective depends on the style of attack and defending base's layout, as well as the Clan Castle troops, themselves. A Poison Spell deals its damage progressively, so make sure that you have enough time left to finish your attack after the clan castle troops are dealt with. Damage done by a Poison Spell stacks, so placing multiple spells at the same time will do additional damage with no damage penalty. A level 1 Poison Spell can easily kill all Tier 1 troops as well as any level Wizards, Witches and Minions.
Trivia
Prior to the Poison Spell, strategies that did not include a Clan Castle lure utilized a well-placed Lightning Spell to destroy defensive Clan Castle troops. With the introduction of the Poison Spell, players now have a viable alternative to destroying Clan Castle troops. 7 level one Poison Spells are enough to take down a level five Barbarian King.
