A new Clash of Clans update has gone live today on Android and iOS, bringing with it a ton of new content.
As confirmed by developers Supercell earlier today, Town Hall 13 is the biggest download of 2019, with some top features included.
Having been teased over several weeks, the new Clash of Clans release is now live, although maintenance breaks have also been confirmed.
So there’s a chance that connection to the game may be a little spotty over the coming hours.
As mentioned above, Town Hall 13 brings a whole new level of content to the game for those players who have reached the end.
This means new defence levels to conquer, as well as special Town Hall 13 troops to deploy.
Supercell has also launched a new hero called the Royal Champion, the first since Town Hall 11, according to the patch notes.
There is also new defences to test out, as well as a brand new troop type and a new Siege Machine.
The Royal Champion – Battle-ready, she’s mean, and her Seeking Shield ability will rain destruction on her foes.
As a tactical warrior, she is able to hop over walls and drive her powerful spear into her chosen targets: Defenses. However, it’s her Seeking Shield ability that is truly destructive. With a mighty heave, the Royal Champion hurls her shield across the battlefield and will target the 4 nearest defenses, regardless of range, and will deal damage.
New defence – The Scattershot is a projectile that breaks apart on impact dealing additional damage to units behind its target.
Able to target both ground and air attacks, the Scattershot will fling its projectile of loosely-tied rocks at its target. However, upon impact the bundle will break apart causing additional damage in a cone-shaped blast to the units behind the initial target.
New Siege Machine – The Siege Barracks brings a new mechanic to this unique kind of offensive unit.
The Siege Barracks deploy anywhere you can deploy your Clan Castle Troops normally, outside the boundaries of the defending Village. Although the Siege Barracks don’t drive or fly towards the Town Hall or a defensive structure like the other Siege Machines do, the Siege Barracks come pre-loaded with a number of Troops already embarked alongside your Clan Castle Troops.
New Troops – The Yeti is a brand new Troop that unlocks at Town Hall 12 when you upgrade your Barracks. This wild-maned wonder lumbers towards its targets and packs a mighty punch in those paws. But on his back, the Yeti carries a basket of Yetimites that he cares for in the cold peaks of the mountains. When the Yeti takes damage, his Yetimite friends will hop from their cozy wicker sanctuary and seek retribution.
A message from Supercell adds: “In Clashland, the winters are cold. Frost covers the lands in a fine diamond dust while villagers huddle for warmth deep in their hovels. Fortunately, new Dark Elixir technologies have wrought a new breakthrough: the Giga Inferno.
“Town Hall 13’s signature defence takes on a different twist than its Town Hall 12 predecessor. The Giga Inferno is ready to roast any attackers who dare approach its searing proximity.
“The Giga Inferno has 5 upgradeable levels, each delivering more devastation than the previous level. But it’s at level 3 where the Giga Inferno shines.
“When Town Hall 13 reaches 0 Hit Points, the Giga Inferno will explode in a devastating blast of damage that delivers a powerful freezing blast (don’t ask how that works) that temporarily slows down any enemies within its range. Not even the Grand Warden’s Eternal Tome grants immunity to the slowdown effect of the Giga Inferno’s blast.”
The new Clash of Clans update is out now on Android and iOS devices.
