Brace Yourselves! The Clash Of Clans Winter Update Is Coming: Faster Archer Towers, Giant Level Increased, Save Your Base Layout And More!

Supercell let forth a mighty number of sneak peeks for its upcoming Clash of Clans winter update.

Clash Of Clans Economy Balancing Coming This Winter

The annual patch adds not only festive markers, such as non-denominational tree decorations, but is also the perfect time to bring forth additional changes and upgrades to various units and buildings in the game.

The company has already outlined some of the balance changes coming to the economy, but for those who don’t want to think about integers, equations or comparative numbers, they’ve brought plenty of new changes as well.

Forum mod Marika posted the sneaks on the official site. Let’s take a look, shall we?

The Chris— sorry, “holiday” - trees are back. And they’re growing presents, apparently. So that’s how Santa does it. Anyways, don’t cut them down. I am sure they will look mighty fine next to your Halloween tombstone. Admit it, you know you still have that one.

Archer Towers have had their power halved, but their number doubled. The end result is the same amount of damage dealt out over the same amount of time. You might not see much difference at earlier levels, but when your towers are maxed out and going up against lower level Archers, the battle is definitely tipped in your favor. A lot of the smaller units will fall before the might of your purple haired huntresses.

One grievance a lot of players had was that when they are under attack, they don’t have access to their village. While it’s not necessarily fun to watch your village get destroyed, it can give you a more immediate sense of satisfaction (or sadness) to see the melee play out in real time. You don’t walk in knowing what’s happened, you get to be surprised now! Live replays are here.

Also, Inferno towers will be getting a major overhaul: shoot longer on the same amount of Dark Elixir. Yes now!

Giants will be increased to Level 7. You’ll need a Town Hall level 10 to acquire, but you already have that, so it’s fine.

Perhaps my favorite new change is the ability to save multiple town and war base layouts. Look, I love messing with village’s infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a time consuming process. Sometimes I’m busy, sometimes we’re in a rush. We can’t always devote the 10+ minutes to getting those walls just right or finding the best location for our collectors. The new ability will allow players to copy, edit and even switch out configurations - at any time!

More soon! GameNGuide's favorite CoC Youtuber Galadon has posted some new footage as to how the Archer Towers work.
