Hey, Clashers!
The excitement continues with Sneak Peek 2 of the March Clash of Clans Update! This time, we’re diving into a fiery new Dark Elixir troop, a powerful new Hero Equipment, and a ton of balance and quality-of-life changes that will shake up your gameplay.
Here's Sneak Peek 1 in case you missed!
Let’s get into the heat of it!
▶️ Meet the Furnace: A Fiery New Dark Elixir Troop! 🔥
Inspired by Clash Royale’s Furnace, this stationary troop is all about spreading chaos over time. Here’s how it works:
-
Spawns Firemites: Over 60 seconds, the Furnace spawns Firemites—tiny, fast troops that explode onto buildings, dealing instant damage and leaving behind a burning pool of fire.
-
Burns Itself Out: The Furnace damages itself over time. If destroyed early, any remaining Firemites are lost.
-
Healing Stops Spawning: If healed, the Furnace will eventually stop spawning Firemites, even if it’s still alive.
Key Details:
-
Unlocks at TH15: Available with 4 levels (2 in TH15, 1 in TH16, and 1 in TH17).
-
Firemite Mechanics:
-
Fast move and attack speed.
-
Targets anything, but has low HP.
-
Fire pools deal area damage over time (non-stackable).
-
New Common Equipment: Noble Iron for the Minion Prince ⚔️
The Minion Prince is getting a shiny new toy! The Noble Iron is a Common Hero Equipment that boosts his initial attacks:
-
Boosted Shots: The first few projectiles deal more damage, fly faster, and have longer range (similar to the Super Minion ability).
-
Upgrade Benefits: Higher levels increase the number of boosted shots, their damage, range, and the Minion Prince’s attack speed.
-
Unlocks at TH12: Available at Blacksmith Level 5.
Balance Changes: Troop Housing Space Adjustments ⚖️
To streamline your army compositions, we’ve adjusted the housing space of several secondary troops:
-
Lava Pup, Ice Pup, Lavaloon Pup: Reduced from 2 to 1.
-
Skeleton Trap Air Skeletons: Reduced from 2 to 1.
-
