February 2024 Update Recap: Overgrowth Spell, Hog Rider Doll, Haste Vial and More!

New Spell: Overgrowth Spell

Unlocked at Town Hall level 12 upon upgrading your Dark Spell Factory to level 6, the Overgrowth Spell brings a whole new dimension to your strategies.

When cast, it cloaks enemy Defenses, rendering them invisible, invulnerable, and frozen in time.

This unique effect allows your attacking Troops to bypass these enchanted Defenses entirely, paving the way for innovative troop paths and strategies.
