Laboratory
The Laboratory
- Definition
- A Laboratories are used to upgrade your troops and spells you have available. Elixir and dark elixir are used to increase the cost, health and damage of a troop of your choice, and can continue to upgrade troops even when being upgraded itself. Like barracks and dark barracks troop upgrades can be completed for a large cost of gems. The troop or spell you want to upgrade must first be unlocked.
- Upgrade By Level
- The Laboratory undergoes major graphic changes at level 3, 6, 7 and 8.
- When initially constructed, the Laboratory consists of an tan octagonal structure with multiple doorless entrances. A mass of black tubing covers the center of the Laboratory's roof. The level 2 Laboratory adds a large vat of Elixir mounted on one side, while the roof is reinforced with steel.
- On level 3, the Laboratory's roof adds a large black dome with circular Elixir-colored ports. At level 4, the doorways receive gold trim, and a second Elixir vat appears on the opposite side of the Laboratory at level 5.
- The level 6 Laboratory receives a faceted crystal sphere on its roof supported by a black iron rod and a helical golden spring. Electricity periodically runs up the surface of the sphere.
- At level 7, the crystal sphere is replaced by a huge set of stacked circular gold rings, identical to those found atop the level 7 Hidden Tesla. The Elixir vat on the left side of the Laboratory is replaced with a larger one filled with Dark Elixir. The ringed structure on the roof crackles periodically with electricity.
- And level 8, the circular gold rings are replaced with a vertical tube glowing from the inside. The door posts turn to a dark red color. It seems that lava is filling the left chamber.
- The Laboratory undergoes major graphic changes at level 3, 6, 7 and 8.
