Clash of Clans September Update Sneak Peek #2

Exciting New Features

  • Upcoming update planned for tomorrow (if all goes well)
  • Introduction of a new type of level: Supercharged Levels

Supercharged Levels

  • Definition: Different from regular levels, supercharged levels are:
    • Less expensive
    • Require less time to upgrade
    • Each building has multiple supercharged levels available
  • Temporary Nature:
    • Supercharged levels are not permanent. They will be removed when new building levels are introduced (e.g., Town Hall 17).
    • Concerns about this feature being seen as a scam, but it aims to provide continuous content for players.

Purpose of Supercharged Levels

  • Addresses the issue of high Town Hall players having nothing to do, as current gameplay options are limited (grinding in Legends or tournaments).
  • Allows casual players to take breaks without falling behind in progress.
  • Helps newer players catch up to higher levels easier.

Balancing Gameplay

  • New supercharged levels may increase overall defenses, creating a need for players to adjust their strategies.
  • The introduction of both supercharged levels and nerfing of equipment is meant to balance gameplay.

Upgrade Timeline and Costs

  • Example: Upgrading a collector takes only 2 days.
  • Total time to upgrade one building alone is approximately 13 months, while upgrading six buildings takes about 2 months.
  • Players can opt for the Gold Pass for a 20% upgrade time reduction.
  • Resource costs are relatively low (e.g., 390 million).

Magic Snacks

  • Introduction of New Item Type: Magic Snacks, cannot be sold or purchased.

  • Types of Magic Snacks:

    1. Castle Bite: Donate to yourself for 12 hours without spending Raid Medals.
    2. Training Treat: Build any strategy/troop/spell without time restrictions for 20 minutes (or until 10 attacks).
    3. Power Pancake: Functions like a power potion but lasts for 3 attacks.
    4. Mighty Morse: Similar to Power Pancake, but applies to heroes and equipment for the next 3 attacks, showing them as maxed.
    5. Study Soup: Acts like a potion for the research lab.
    6. Bidders Snack: Also works for buildings (not for the apprentice bidder).
  • Stacking Feature: Players can stack multiple snacks for extended durations.

  • Expiration: Magic Snacks last for 24 hours after receiving them and must be activated within that time.

Acquisition of Magic Snacks

  • Magic Snacks will be obtainable through a new event in September.
  • Further details on the event will be provided in a dedicated explanation video.

Community Feedback

  • Encouragement for players to share their opinions on the supercharged levels and magic snacks.
  • Anticipation for differing views on these changes to the game.

Conclusion

  • Looking forward to the upcoming update and community reactions to the new features.
