Greetings, Chief!

Welcome to a first sneaky preview of the Clash of Clans Autumn / Clash-O-Ween Update!

Today we are sharing the balance changes that will be implemented once the update is live (date TBC). We’ve got some pretty good discounts for Dark Elixir Troops along with some balancing of various units. Check out the details below!

TROOPS & SPELLS

As part of an ongoing and endless pursuit to make Clash of Clans the best battle game ever, we are constantly analyzing game balance to ensure the game remains fair, yet challenging. In this update we are introducing a few rounds of balancing to Troops and Defenses.

Wall Breakers

• Wall Breakers will now be able to use Jump Spells!
• Wall Breakers AI has been improved for greater target consistency and reduces the chance of them attacking different Wall segments when deployed;
• Some attack damage has been shifted to the Wall Breakers' exploding damage to make them more predictable and viable, assuming max Laboratory level for your Town Hall level:
  • 1x Raged Wall Breaker will destroy a Wall
  • 2x Wall Breakers will destroy up to level 9 Wall (TH9 and below).
  • 3x Wall Breakers will destroy a level 10+ Wall (TH9 and up).
  • 6x Wall Breakers can destroy a level 10+ Wall (TH9 and up) if they die in proximity.
• Please refer to the table below for the updated Wall Breaker damage stats. NOTE: All damage versus Walls have a 40x damage multiplier.

Level	Hit Damage	Death Damage
1	6	6
2	10	9
3	15	13
4	20	16
5	43	23
6	55	30
7	66	36
8	75	42
9	86	48

Electro Dragon

• Electro Dragon's Chain Lightning will now prefer targets with the highest hit points if multiple targets are equidistant.

Siege Barracks

• To give Wizards a little bit of breathing room and comply with international Clash Labor Laws, the Level 4 Siege Barracks Wizards have been reduced from 12 to 11.

Super Archer

• Super Archer will no longer miss targets within 0.1 tiles of her.

Inferno Dragon

• Inferno Dragon’s beam will no longer heat up while flying; however, the charge-up time for higher damage levels has been reduced.
  

General flying units AI change

• Improved the AI for all flying units by not forcing them to retarget when a Hidden Tesla appears when their current target is better.
  

Skeleton Spell

• The number of Skeletons spawned at each level has been increased by 1 Skeleton.
  

Air Defense

• Hit points of Level 8 Air Defense (Town Hall 10) have been increased by 10 HP, making them more resistant to Lightning Spell strikes.
