Spore cloud trait: unlock, raid use and counters
Short answer
With Spore cloud equipped, spore bursts heal your horde more and weaken defenders harder. It unlocks at Binding Pit level 5.
What it does
Any raid can release a spore burst for serum; Spore cloud makes every burst stronger, healing more and weakening defenders more.
It pays off in long fights against well-guarded gates. Quick raids rarely need a burst at all.
Good at
- Long fights at well-guarded gates

Bad at

- Wasted on quick raids
What beats it
- Defenders who wear the horde down before the burst
- Villages that break your march at the fence
Tips
- Carry serum when you raid with Spore cloud: each burst costs 2 serum.
- Save the burst for when the fight is at the gate, not on the march.
