For those of you who don’t know yet, Clash of Clans Is coming out with quite a game changing update. As Supercell hinted, “Big changes are coming to the multiplayer leader board scene! There are new Leagues, a new Tournament and crazy sounding things like Legend Trophies,”. This update will not only include big changes to the leaderboards but also big changes to player’s offensive and defensive strategies when it comes to wars and trophy pushing. This Clash of Clans Update is very exciting!

League Changes

Clash of Clans will be implementing a new league called the ‘Legend League’. Players can achieve this league at 5,000 trophies and when this league is achieved they will be able to enter a monthly legends tournament. The details for this league are listed below:

• Your current global rank is featured on your League Badge in your Profile
• Your final global rank and Trophies will be permanently saved to your Profile when the Tournament ends
• The Top Player tab will feature last season’s Legend League Tournament winners
• Trophies above 5000 will be reset down to 5000 when the Tournament ends, and deducted trophies will be converted into Legend Trophies
• Legend trophies will be permanently featured in your Profile and cannot be lost

Supercell has posted an article explaining why this league was added so people will better understand the reasoning behind these changes. In this article they say:

“Nowadays, reaching 3200 trophies and becoming a champion is a great accomplishment, but it is far from the ultimate symbol it was in 2013. There is a vast competitive spectrum beyond 3200 Trophies that is going completely unrepresented. Again, we’ve been intensely watching how many trophies players have, and the situation feels somewhat familiar.

• The most competitive Trophy range is around 4700 trophies.
• Less than 150 players in the entire world have over 4800 Trophies.
• NOBODY has over 5000 Trophies.

We’ve placed the new titan league to again contain only the most explosively competitive player in the game. Just like we did for Champion League in 2013, we are placing legend league to where no player has been: 5000 trophies. Also, Just like in champion league felt in 2013, the new legend league will, at first, feel immensely difficult and ultra exclusive.”

Dark Spell Factory/Poison Spell

Supercell released quite the teaser telling everyone that there will be a brand new spell, called the poison spell, that can be creaed in the brand new Dark Spell Factory, which will look a little something like this: Supercell teased, “The Dark Spell Factory is here! Harness the Dark Elixer to make spells with advanced tactics, starting at Town Hall 8” . According to Supercells description, the poison spell will “Make a toxic cloud that slows and drains the health of defending troops.”

No further details have been released about the new Spell like how much damage it will do or how much Dark Elixer it will cost, but if it does then we will make sure to update you!

More changes have also been added to the regular spell factory as well. Supercell went on to announce that “Extra spells can now be queued in the spell factories, even if your spell storage is full!” This is just a little something Supercell has added to make their players happy as it has been something requested for a lot.

To see the poison spell and dark spell factory go to work watch this video. 

Dragon Level 5

The first sneak peek put the image of the update off to a good start. All we know about this new troop is somewhat of what it looks like and the fact that it is available at Town Hall 10.

Though the new dragon looks extremely powerful, players shouldnt worry. There is also going to be an added Air sweeper to protect your village against this dangerous looking foe. This second air sweeper will be available at Town Hall 8.

For more information on what the dragon looks like can be found at 0:20 in this sneak peek video.

New Barracks

Supercell has answered many of its players prayers with the new GUI design for barracks, dark barracks, and spell factories. According to a sneak peak video found on youtube, all of your attack buildings (barracks, dark barracks, and spell factories) can be found all on one screen. This makes it much easier to see what barrack is currently training as well as what the barrack is training. The spell factory and dark barracks can also be accessed much easier instead of having to scroll through each barrack until you get to it.

For more information and to see what the new design looks like you can skip to 5:30 in this sneak peek video.

Down Time

With each update to Clash of Clans, our bot will go down for maintenance. I, along with all of the rest of the Clashbot staff, ask that you please bear with us as our developers work hard to get it back online. For more information as to why we go down for maintenance, you can read the article on our blog found here.
