Check out Clash of Clans’ new Earthquake Spell in action

***Update***

The Clash of Clans 'Dark Spell Factory' update has been released! Check out the full patch notes here.

***Original***

Earlier today, Supercell Games gave us a sneak peek at one of the new Dark spells coming to Clash of Clans in a new update — the Earthquake Spell. According to the teaser, the Earthquake Spell, which can be created in the new Dark Spell Factory coming with the update, will rattle away hitpoints from buildings and walls. Pretty vague, so thankfully a video of the spell in action has been published.

The first thing to note, the Earthquake spell is a percentage-based, not damage-based, meaning it will remove a percentage of a building's remaining hitpoints. So the more hitpoints a building has, the more damage it will deal. That being said, it also has the ability to finish off a structure that has a small percentage of its hitpoints remaining. Additionally, the Earthquake spell does have an Area of Effect, so you'll be able to damage multiple buildings at once.

As a reminder, with the update, Dark Elixir spells will take up one housing space, while regular Elixir Spells will take up two. Essentially, this means you can take a crap ton of spells with you into combat. 

The new Clash of Clans update is shaping up to be one of the largest we've seen since the Clan Wars update. Newly confirmed features include:

• Level 5 Dragons
• Dark Spell Factory w/ Poison Spell
• Massive changes to competitive multiplayer
