Sparky is a 6-Elixir Legendary troop unlocked in Arena 11 (Electro Valley). She's a slow-moving cannon that charges up for several seconds between shots, but when she fires, she unleashes one of the biggest single hits in the game across a wide splash radius — enough to wipe out a grouped swarm or take a huge chunk out of a tank in one connection. That devastating damage comes with a real cost: her attack is slow enough that a single stun or reset effect interrupts her charge and buys the defender a free window, and shielded troops can walk through a full-power hit and keep going. She also can't target anything flying, so she's purely a ground threat. Playing her well means protecting her charge time; beating her means having a cheap reset ready.

Sparky is a 6-Elixir Legendary troop that players unlock in Arena 11, Electro Valley, and she first joined Clash Royale on 3 May 2016.
At tournament-standard level 11, Sparky has 1,451 hitpoints and deals 1,331 area damage per hit, for roughly 332 damage per second.
Sparky attacks once every 4 seconds — one of the slowest hit speeds of any troop in the game — but the payoff is a single hit that can flatten cheap swarms and take a serious bite out of tanks in one connection, from up to 5 tiles away.
Her blast has a splash radius of about 1.8 tiles, so a tightly grouped swarm caught in range can be wiped out in a single hit.
Sparky can only target ground troops — she completely ignores anything flying, so air-heavy pushes can move past her without ever drawing a shot.
Any stun or reset effect — Zap, Electro Spirit, The Log's knockback, Freeze, or Electro Wizard's zap — interrupts Sparky's charge and forces her to start building up again, which is the single most common way opponents shut her down.
Shielded troops like Guards can tank a full-strength Sparky hit and keep fighting, since the shield absorbs the blast before it touches their hitpoints — making them one of the safest cheap answers to her.
A February 2026 patch fixed a bug where Sparky's charge would incorrectly reset just because Hero Knight's taunt effect wore off nearby — her charge now correctly carries through that interaction.
