Clash Of Clans One Gem Boost Update; Speed Up The Building Process On Select Structures For A Limited Time Only [VIDEO]

All About That Boost, 'Bout That Boost: Clash Of Clans Lets You Boost Select Buildings For One Gem For A Limited Time Starting Today

The folks over at Supercell clearly don’t have a calendar, but we won’t tell them that. Or else they may go all Scrooge on us and pull the current 1-gem boost to four of Clash of Clans' buildings.

Tis truly an early Christmas miracle. From now until an unspecified date in the future - which one can reasonably presume is either Christmas or the day after - players can boost Elixir Collectors, Barracks, Heroes and Spell Factories for the low, low cost of 1 gem apiece.

But Supercell giveth and Supercell taketh away. Perhaps the 1 gem boost is the company’s way of apologizing for the recent ‘OMG MASSIVE NERF!’ to the Lava Hound pups in the last patch.

See, the pups - they emerge from the exploding dead carcass of the Lava Hound - had their hit points reduced from 55 to 50. A whole five point difference! But Clash of Clans is a game of numbers, and every single one matters. But is it really that much of a difference maker?

Youtuber Galadon sure thinks so. He takes on a few Clan raids using his new Quatrolavaloonian assault (4 Lava Hounds and a bunch of Minions and Balloons, for those wondering) and finds that the attack is now a little less effective. The pups go down much faster now and in turn, so do the balloons and the remainder of your damage dealing forces. Frustrating.

But! With a 1 Gem boost, you can crank out the new units even faster, so I suppose in the end we all win.
