• She deals extremely high area damage.
• She is a low ranged Troop with high hitpoints.
• Sparky takes the appearance of a siege machine with a coil mounted atop of it.

• Sparky is capable of taking out high HP troops like a or a P.E.K.K.A. in just a few shots.
  • However, Sparky has a slow hit speed, leaving her vulnerable to swarms of troops.
• As Sparky deals immense damage, she is best used as a high damage support troop, ideally behind a tank troop like the , P.E.K.K.A., or .
• Sparky’s damage, if used incorrectly, is often wasted on weak troops like . Make sure to put area damage troops such as the , , , or behind her to kill low hitpoint troops and pave the way for Sparky!
• A great counter to a lone Sparky, in addition to using flying troops, is using , , or for a positive trade. Due to the ’ and ’s shields, they will be able to survive a hit from the Sparky, and also deal great damage to it. For the and , surround Sparky and she should only shoot one of the troops. The rest of the / should take out Sparky before she charges another shot.
• When Sparky is deployed, she will charge up her initial attack for 5 seconds in addition to her deploy time of 1 second resulting in a slow first attack. Keep this in mind when deploying, destroying, or defending against her!
• 2 Sparkies can take out tanks like Giants and P.E.K.K.As quickly if upgraded sufficiently or if the tanks are underleveled. (2 level 1 Sparkies deal 2600 damage, leaving a level 5 with around 300 hitpoints and killing a level 1 P.E.K.K.A)
• The Zap and spells can reset Sparky’s attack, allowing the player to get additional time before Sparky fires.
• has substantial utility with Sparky’s attack speed, allowing her to obliterate a Crown Tower with ease.
• Pairing splash troops (particularly the ) with Sparky can clear swarms of weaker troops effectively, helping to alleviate her traditional weakness and ensuring she does not waste her blast on cheap troops.
• A Sparky can be killed with a high leveled . This allows the player to destroy Sparky and maybe damage other buildings/troops at the same time.
• A lone Sparky may be countered with a . Due to the Sparky’s slow attack speed, the spawned will distract her indefinitely. If placed correctly, the can distract Sparky while the Arena Tower will kill her.
• Backing up Sparky with can be devastating. If the opposing player spawns a swarm of units, can eliminate them quickly whilst Sparky ignores them.
• When people are attempting to counter Sparky a Zap is an effective 2 counter as it will reset Sparky’s charge allowing her to be more vunerable.

• Sparky was added to the game on 3/5/16 with the May Update.
• Its tip resembles a level 7 Hidden from Clash of placed on a wooden cart with wheels.
• The same tip appears on top of the Level 7 Clash of Laboratory.
• When fully upgraded, she deals the highest damage per hit of any troop in the game, at 1,898 damage.
  • Even a level 1 Sparky deals more damage per hit than the level 8 , the previous record holder of highest damage per hit of any troop, with 1,300 damage as opposed to the ’s 1,158 damage.
    • However, Sparky has a thoroughly average DPS due to her hit speed, which is tied for slowest alongside the and she also has the slowest attack speed of any troop.
• This is currently the only single-drop card capable of killing itself in one shot.
  • can also kill themselves in one hit, but only if they are the same level.
• She is the only troop that visibly readies its attack.
• It was revealed in the May 18th balance changes that Sparky is referred to as a female.
• Sparky knocks herself a few tiles back when she attacks.
• When she has fully charged and ready for a shot, all 3 of her coils will glow blue with electricity.
  • While recharging, the coils will light up one by one.
• Even though she has a battering ram, she doesn’t specialize in melee combat. The ram is more of a protective armor, giving her a lot of health even though she has a wooden hull.
• Like the P.E.K.K.A, if a solo Sparky is left unattended it will easily destroy an Arena Tower.
  • If the level of Sparky is high enough, she will destroy even King’s Tower.
