Get ready, Chiefs! The latest Clash of Clans update, dubbed Let’s Get Crafty, is here with a arsenal of fresh features that will shake up your village strategies. From temporary defenses to new spells, there’s plenty to explore in this patch.
Crafty New Defenses for Town Hall 17
Leading the charge in this update are the Crafted Defenses, exclusive to Town Hall 17 players. These temporary structures, buildable during a special Crafting Phase, let you erect up to three unique defenses like the Hook Tower (which snares and stuns), Flame Spinner (burns nearby foes), and Crusher Mortar (smashes enemies with heavy projectiles). Customizable with upgradeable modules, they’re a game-changer for base protection.
Strategic Additions and Enhancements
For spell-casters, the Ice Block Dark Elixir Spell unlocks at Town Hall 14, creating icy barriers to shield your troops with increasing effectiveness at higher levels. Meanwhile, the Army Training Cookbook, available from Town Hall 4, offers Starter Armies and Featured/Creator Armies to inspire your next raid.
What’s New in Unit Upgrades?
This update also boosts several units with new levels, including Balloon and Rocket Balloon at level 12, Lava Hound at 7, and more, spanning Town Halls 15 to 17. Balance tweaks ensure smoother early-game progression with adjusted stats for buildings and troops, alongside buffs to the Grand Warden’s Eternal Tome.
Quality of Life and Beyond
Army training gets a slick UI overhaul with options to swap Hero skins and rearrange lineups directly from the screen. The shop now features an 'Info' button for pricing clarity and notifications for special offers. Plus, new Supercell ID Guest Accounts ease onboarding for new players.
