Well it looks like your screen is the biggest drain.. Which is normal since you have it on and are gaming. Gaming on mobile will drain the battery quickly due to it having to draw graphics and also keep the screen on.

The screen and Clash of Clans seem to be using half your power all by themselves. But you seem to be getting about 10 hours on a full charge (assuming you drain the battery to 0, which is only okay if you like buying batteries frequently - charging at somewhere around 50% gives the longest battery life), so you're getting about normal charge life. You can probably eke out a few percent more by tweaking the life out of the phone, but all that work for 3 more minutes of battery life hardly seems worth it.

If you need to keep the phone running longer than it does, buy a larger battery (which will make the case larger, since it comes with a deeper back, if you buy anything decently larger, like twice the capacity of the stock battery). Or you can buy a 10,000 mAh external battery that you can plug the phone into when the internal battery starts getting low.

If you can afford to turn the phone off for a few seconds when the battery gets low, you can just carry a couple of spare batteries with you. Two batteries and a charger will run you under $20 and give you 3 times the battery life.
