Reworked Furnace Updated Mechanics

The Furnace is turning into a ground troop from a building on the battleground. The design looks kinda similar to the original design and it still is a rare card. The reworked furnace spawns one fire spirit at a time dealing damage with its special cauldron brew. The Fire Spirits deal area-based damage while the furnace deals damage to only a single target. 

At level 15, the Furnace troop has the following stats:

• Hitpoints: 1302
• Ranged Damage: 260
• Hit Speed: 1.8sec
• Targets: Air and ground
• Speed: Slow
• Range: 6 tiles
• Cost: 4 Elixirs

And the Fire spirit at level 15 Furnace, have the following stats:

• Hitpoints: 334
• Area Damage: 301
• Cost: 1 Elixir
• Range: 2.5
• Targets: Air & Ground
• Speed: Very fast

Significant changes in the gameplay

• The Furnace can walk on its feet now and will let you spawn fire spirits one at a time. The speed might be slow but it's for the better. If the speed was faster, your furnace would just rush in and die first, but it being slow lets you spawn the fire spirits more.
• Unlike the old design, the new Furnace will drop a Fire Spirit instantly after being deployed on the battlefield, creating pressure from the beginning.
• Building a lot of Furnace as the back line in your army will prove a serious threat to the enemy. As long as there is a frontline protecting your furnace, you can spawn infinite fire spirits to blow your enemy base.

Reworked Furnace Evolution 

The Furnace is getting a further Evolution that seems to be more overwhelming than the normal one. The looks of the Furnace Evolution will look more devilish with the purple color theme on the troop. Although the stats remain the same, it gains an ability called “Hot Spawns” that lets the Furnace spawn a Fire spirit each time it attacks, which makes the spawn time of the Fire Spirits almost 3 times faster.

Best Decks for the Reworked Furnace

The Furnace after the rework is on a roll and there are a number of decks you can use to rank up faster and smoother using this powerful troop in your setups. Few of the best decks so far are:

Best Counter for the Reworked Furnace

The Reworked Furnace must be overwhelming at first, but there is nothing as having no weakness. If you are also tired of losing to the deck of Furnace in ranks, follow these instructions to counter the enemy next time.

• The Furnace are only dominating when well protected and outnumber your army. Be sure to kill them as your primary target with Splash damage troops like Magic Archer or Valkyrie.
• High-Damage Spells like lightning and rocket spells also work great to take care of a group of furnaces immediately. 
• Use Air troops like Baby Dragons and Bats to ignore the fire spirits damage as the fire spirits only target ground units.
• Use Cannon or Bomb tower and Tesla to target the primary targets as they ignore the Furnace’s Fire spirit.
• You can use the Logs to take out a wave of the Fire Spirits at once and you might get lucky if the opponent spawns the furnace near the bridge, so that you can take it out with the logs only.
• The Little Prince is also a good counter troop to tank the fire spirit’s damage because of his high hitpoints.
