Fireball

"Annnnnd... Fireball. Incinerates a small area, dealing high damage. Reduced damage to Crown Towers."

Summary

 * The Fireball is unlocked from the Training Camp (Tutorial).
 * It is an area damage spell with a medium radius.
 * A Fireball card costs 4 Elixir to cast.
 * It is a powerful Spell, available to cast anywhere in the Arena, dealing immense damage.
 * The Fireball will pushback certain surviving troops.

Strategy

 * The Fireball is effectively used to finish off weakened Crown Towers or buildings, and killing or badly damaging large numbers of small troops like Barbarians, Spear Goblins, or Archers. However, do not use one on a high hitpoint troop like a Giant or Valkyrie alone as that is a waste of Elixir.
 * For low-level players, it's recommended to use Lightning instead of Fireball, because of its higher damage to both Crown Towers and Area Damage; but if it is more suited to deal damage in an AoE (Area of Effect), damaging 4+ troops and Buildings, the Fireball is recommended.
 * Wizards, Musketeers, Barbarians, etc. can typically survive the Fireball. A tank in front of them might be a disaster as the barely alive troops plunder your tower. Remember to finish off such cards with Fire Spirits, Zap, Arrows, or The Log if they're protected!
 * It is effective on eliminating both of the Musketeer cards.
 * It is effective against spawner cards, because they will lose health and so they will spawn less troops. However, hitting only one spawner will result in a negative trade as the spawner will typically still have enough health to make many more waves.
 * Fireball can be effective against Elixir Collectors, as it will lower its hitpoints enough to make an equal Elixir trade, which can become very beneficial if you also hit some troops in the blast.

Trivia

 * On 19/2/16, the Balance Update decreased the Fireball's Crown Tower damage by 20%.
 * On 29/2/16, the March Update changed the Card image.
 * It is one of only two Rare spells, the other being the Rocket.
 * The Fireball's description is a reference to a Clash of Clans commercial, Magic.
 * The Fireball and Arrows share similarities - the Fireball inflicts more damage, but has a smaller AoE (Area of Effect) than Arrows.
