Winter Updates in Clan Capital

Skeleton Park

Wow ! New Capital District in Our Game : Skeleton Park.

Skeleton Park is a brand new district you can unlock at Capital Hall 8. Spiky nettled vines not only create a unique arboreal environment, these maze-like plants create indestructible barriers between your District and the attackers trying to plunder your Capital! 

You can Unlock your brand new capital District Once if your clan have capital hall level 8. Now after you’ve unlocked Skeleton Park, you’ll be able to unlock a brand new Capital Troop – Inferno Dragon, 2 all-new Defenses – Reflector and Mini-Minion Hive, and also a new Capital Spell – Graveyard Spell which we will be discussing later in the Blog.

Inferno Dragon

Inferno Dragon has made his way over to your Clan Capital where he’ll wreak untold damage upon your opponents’ Capital Districts. Like his Super Troop version in your Home Village, Inferno Dragon’s attacks do increasing amounts of damage over time.

1 Max Level Inferno Dragon Can take down Capital Hall Under Rage Spell if not attacked by any other defence.

• Favorite target: Any 
• Damage type: Single target (increases over time) 
• Targets: Ground & Air 
• Housing space: 15 
• Movement speed: 13

Mini-Minion Hive

Mini-Minion Hive is one of the two unique defenses that you unlock when you gain access to Skeleton Park. 

As if Minions weren’t terrifying enough, now your enemy’s Defense will be able to launch Mini-Minions at high speed en masse in retaliation. Mini-Minion Hive unleashes swarms of angry Mini-Minions at attackers brave enough to approach it. Just the perfect response to swarms of Graveyard Spell Skeletons!

• Burst fire: 12 shots
• Range: 14 tiles
• Damage type: Single target
• Targets: Ground & Air
• Favorite target: Any

Reflector

The second new defense that you unlock at Skeleton Park is the Reflector. 

Although Reflector doesn’t have an attack of its own, this unique Defense will send damage back at the attacker.

• Range: 10 tiles
• Damage type: Single target
• Targets: Ground & Air
• Favorite target: Any

Graveyard Spell Factory

A brand new Spell Factory have been introduced into the game which will brew our brand new Spell Graveyard Spell.

Graveyard Spell

Even after your troops are destroyed, with Graveyard Spell they can still visit chaos and destruction on your enemy’s base. Graveyard Spell is a brand new Spell that unlocks when your Skeleton Park District Hall is upgraded to level 2. 

Graveyard Spell will summon Skeletons whenever Troops are defeated even if the defeated Troop is a defending unit. The number of summoned Skeletons depends on the Housing Space of the destroyed Troops. Graveyard Spell will summon 1 Skeleton for every 3 Housing Space worth of Troops defeated.

If the defeated Troop is an ground unit, Graveyard Spell will summon Skeletons.If the defeated Troop is an air unit, Graveyard Spell will summon flying Skeletons.

• Housing space: 2
• Summoned units : 1 skeleton for every 3 housing space of troops destroyed.
• Duration: 2 raid attacks
• Targets: Ground & Air

Capital Peak

Clan Player Housing customization

In this update, players will now have the ability to personalize their Player House as their own wish, located in your Clan Capital’s Capital Peak.

Each Clanmate will be assigned a single House that is automatically assigned to you when you join a Clan. Leaving a Clan will automatically vacate the slot and an unadorned House will remain in its place. 

Players will have a set of unlocked customizations that will be immediately available. You can access new Parts by unlocking them as you gain reputation levels, as well as being able purchase new ones from the Trader, or as potential rewards from challenge events. If you have already acquired a specific component then you will not be able to purchase duplicates of the same item. Any components you’ve acquired will remain with you even if you join another Clan.

You will be able to change the look of your House’s Roof, Walls, Ground, and Decorations. Make it YOUR House.

Capital Ranking System

Supercell have added a new League ranking system for Capital Raids. Clans will earn Capital Trophies from weekend Raids, and Trophy counts are updated after the Raid event ends. Clans will receive a Raid summary that will also display your Trophy and League changes. This summary will be displayed in the Raid overview screen as well as posted to your Clan’s chat. 

Clans are assigned to a League based on that Clan’s Capital Trophies and the Clan earns Clan XP each week based on the League level. Your Clan’s Trophies is determined by 80% of your previous Trophy count plus 20% of new Trophies won. New Trophies are calculated based on your Clan’s total loot, average loot per attack, and average loot per defense.

CAPITAL LEAGUES	CAPITAL TROPHIES	CLAN XP GAINED
Unranked	0	0
Bronze III	200	5
Bronze II	400	10

Capital Leaderboards are now accessible from the Capital map or when visiting a Clan Capital, and you’ll see the Top 200 global Leaderboard and Top 200 local Leaderboard based on Clan’s location. 

Additionally you Clan’s profile UI will now display more Capital-specific information:

• Capital League
• Capital Trophies
• Capital Hall level
• Capital upgrade count

Clans will now be able to set different active and defensive layouts.

An upper limit for offensive Raid Medals is implemented to prevent Clans from earning too many Medals when encountering layouts that have been intentionally designed to be easy.

Winter Updates in Home Village

Ram Rider Temporary Troop

Storming her way from the Royale Arena, Ram Rider is the newest temporary unit who will be available for this Clashmas season. Ram Rider sports a snazzy Clashmas hat as her trusty steed bleats its way to battle.

When deployed, Ram Rider will quickly charge towards the closest Defense and destroy any Walls in her path. Ram Rider’s first hit with her intended target will deal extra damage and will also slow down the target’s attack speed. After the first initial hit she will then continue as a ranged ground unit capable of jumping over Walls.

• Favorite target: Defenses
• Damage type: Single target
• Targets: Ground
• Housing space: 12
• Movement speed: 22
• Training time: 1 min

Santa’ Surprise Spell

Santa’s Surprise Spell makes an explosive return in this update. Not only have we given this Spell a bump in stats, Santa’s Surprise Spell now has an extra level 11 for Town Hall 15 players. Santa’s Surprise Spell brings all the holiday cheer to your enemy’s base by dropping explosive presents from Santa’s Hog-pulled sleigh. 

Along with increasing the damage of Santa’s Surprise Spell, we’ve also reduced some of the randomness when the Spell is used in order to make the Spell more reliable.

• Radius: 1 tile
• Random radius: 4 tiles
• Number of strikes: 5
• Housing space: 2
• Brew time: 6 min

Shovel of Obstacles Upgraded

There is a big change to how the Shove of Obstacles Magic Item functions. Objects will now become PERMANENTLY moveable once you’ve used a Shovel of Obstacles on that object. Note that this only applies to objects moved after this change is live (ie objects moved after the December Update is live). 

Moveable objects can also be stashed in the layout editor, and can even be placed in different locations for different layouts! However, you should be aware that they cannot be used in War layouts. 

Additionally, moveable obstacles still count towards the spawned obstacle limit just like all other obstacles – even if they are stashed. 

It is still possible to permanently remove a moveable object. However, please note that the Shovel of Obstacles is NOT refunded if you permanently remove a moveable obstacle.

New Achievements

We’ve added four new Achievements in this update.

• Get Even More Goblins: Earned by completing Single-Player Campaign levels and earning more Stars.

Family-Friendly Clans

• Family-Friendly Clans can accommodate players under the age of 16, Standard Clans are for players ages 16 and up.
• When creating a NEW Clan you can decide what kind of Clan to create during the Clan creation process. However, that designation is permanent and cannot be changed. 
• Existing Clans will be automatically assigned a Clan type based on if the Clan contains accounts designated as young players. The Clan Leader will be given a one-time ability to change the Clan’s designation. If the Clan is changed from Family-Friendly to Standard, then any Clan member’s account under the age of 16 will be removed from the Clan without revealing their identity. 
• Chat filtering for Family-Friendly Clans is stricter
• Young players cannot join and cannot be invited to Standard clans

Chief’s Journey

A new button added to the Town Hall will give you a visual guide of the content you’ve unlocked in previous Town Hall levels as well as provide a preview of new content you will unlock as you progress through the game. This catalog can help players identify when certain features will become accessible as you upgrade your Village!

New Single Player Campaign Levels

In this update, we’ve added 15 brand new Single-Player Campaign levels to challenge yourself on. These tricky new levels are geared towards players between Town Hall levels 13-15, with the final 5 levels specifically balanced for Town Hall 15.
