Die-hard gamers and avid fans of "Clash of Clans" will be able to experience new gameplay improvements. It was said that the game will be receiving a big update this week, as revealed in the Supercell forum.
Among the updates that will be introduced are a tie-breaker system, spell balance and gameplay and graphical tweaks which are meant to improve the overall performance of the game, a report from Design & Trend said on Thursday.
"The big area of focus this time around is balance changes related to lightning, poison and earthquake spells. Overall, the effectiveness of lightning has increased for clans in levels 5 through 7. That being said, its overall strike radius has been reduced, and it happens less frequently than before," the report said.
Below are the details on the update, taken from Supercell website.
"Spell Superiority and a Clan War Tiebreaker
* Improved Lightning, Poison, Earthquake and Freeze spells
* Lightning Spell level 7 and 25 new Wall pieces have been added to Town Hall level 10
* Total Destruction is now a Clan Wars tiebreaker - if the score is even at the end of the war, the Clan with more destruction percentage in their best attacks will be the victor
* Attack and Defense tabs have be added to Clan tabs in the War Stats to quickly see all best attacks in the war for either clan
* The appearance of Wall level 11 has been revamped and looks totally epic
Recharged Lightning Spell
* Lightning Spell level 7 ravages buildings and troops alike
* Increased damage for Lightning Spell levels 5 and 6
* Lightning Spell bolts now strike closer together to miss less often
* Lightning Spell level 6 is now available at Town Hall 9
Reworked Poison Spell
* Troops in Poison Spells now take less damage at first, but much more over time
* Poison Spell damage now increases to huge amounts and lingers after leaving the spell
* Poison Spells now also reduce the attack rate of defending Troops
Reworked Earthquake Spell
* Earthquake Spells deal much more damage, regardless of a building's current hitpoints
* Repeated Earthquake Spells now deal diminishing damage to the same buildings
* Four Earthquake Spells will still always destroy any level of Wall!
* There are no longer any special 'building execution rules' for Earthquake spells - a building just needs to be reduced to 0 HP
Game Balancing
* Freeze Spells now also affect defending air troops
* Lava Hounds can no longer target air troops
* Attacking troops will now engage defending troops from further away
* Titan III and Titan II Leagues can now buy 1 week shields from the Shop
* The Army Overview button is now also visible from the Clan War map"
With the new update, players will now be able to use the earthquake spells effectively as it is more damaging now. Using the four spells in succession will also allow players to trample any wall.
