Tornado

What it looks like

The Tornado is an Epic card that is unlocked from Miner's Mine (Arena 15). It is an area-damage, air-targeting spell with a very large radius and low damage that is dealt every 0.55 seconds for 1.05 seconds. It also has a singularity effect that pulls nearby troops to the center. A Tornado card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.
