What is the Santa’s Surprise in Clash of Clans?
The Santa’s Surprise is a destructive Clash of Clans Spell. When used, it causes a hog-pulled “Santa” to drop down explosive presents in a certain area.
It’s basically a much more effective Lightning Spell with a bigger damage radius of 1 tile but much less accuracy. In 2022, along with the increased damage of Santa’s Surprise Spell, Clash of Clans has also decreased its randomnesses to make the Spell more steadfast.
