New Trophy Leagues

Introducing Leagues: compete in your own division!

• Get a Loot Bonus out of every victory from being in a League!
• Loot Bonus increases the higher you climb in the Leagues!

See more details in How New Trophy Leagues work.

New unit, defenses and building upgrades

• Rock Hard: summon a mighty Golem with Dark Elixir. A glutton for punishment, the Golem won't stop even if you destroy it in half!
• Upgrade the Dark Barracks to level 4 to unlock the Golem (cost 4 million Elixir and 7 days to upgrade, available from Town Hall level 8)
• Bolster your defenses with an additional Wizard Tower and a Seeking Air Mine at Town Hall level 9
• Level 5 Clan Castle and level 7 Hidden Tesla upgrade now available, also at Town Hall level 9!

New Hidden Tesla Level 7

Chief, this is SHOCKING. We all know that when an enemy walks or flies close enough, the Tesla springs up and fries it extra crispy - well, soon it's going to be even more powerful: It's the Tesla level 7.

Gain access to new awesome level of your Hidden Tesla. Shiny and Electrified. Improve defense against dragon attack. Cost 3.5 million gold and 14 days to upgrade. Hidden Tesla Level 7 stat is 87 Damage per second.

New Clan Castle Level 5

Clan Castle getting too cramped? Huge news, Chief: soon you'll have more space for troops!

Cost 7 million Gold and 7 days to upgrade.

Clan improvements

• Clan Leader is now able to send messages directly to Clan Members' inboxes
• Chat message formatting overhauled
• Clan tournament length increased to two weeks, reward doubled
• Troop donation statistics now reset every other week
• Clan troop donation information is now visible to all players, not just Clan members

Usability improvements

• If Clan Castle has a space for more troops, "Request" message displayed on top of it
• Added option to rotate a Wall section
• Added confirmation dialog when speeding up unit and spell upgrades
• Attack notification improved for players playing with multiple devices

Balance tweaks

• The percentage of loot that can be stolen from Gold Storage and Elixir Storage was decreased to make it easier for newer players to save up resources. The maximum possible amount of loot remains the same.
• Upgrade times for Hog Rider, Minion, and Valkyrie decreased
• Air Bomb explosion radius decreased
• Level 5 Minion hitpoints decreased
• Hidden Tesla trigger radius increased
• Gold Mine, Elixir Pump and Dark Barracks upgrade times reduced
• Spells are now much faster to create
• Balloons explode and deal additional damage when destroyed
• Wall Breaker behavior improved
• Mortar and Wizard Tower don't restart their attack cycle if their would-be target is destroyed, instead they switch targets
• Clan Castle troops deploy faster to the battlefield
• When your village is under attack from flying units only, your melee troops will stay inside the Clan Castle

Also many small but fixes and tweaks!
