img src="2020-12-ice-hound-art-01.jpg" alt="Home Village | Super Troops | Ice Hound"
The Ice Hound is a powered-up version of the regular Lava Hound.
Compared to the regular troop, the Ice Hound has around 20% more Hit Points, uses 40 housing spaces instead of 30 and has the same movement speed.

The Ice Hound Special Ability is what makes him very special and powerful, which as you can imagine, has some pretty cool freezing features: it slows down the enemies and defenses it attacks, and upon death drops a Freeze Spell.
To unlock the Ice Hound you must have at least a level 5 Lava Hound, which requires a Town Hall 12. The upgrade costs 25.000 Dark Elixir and lasts for 3 days.
For complete information, stats and strategies, visit the [[Ice Hound]] page.
Super Wizard

The Super Wizard is a powered-up version of the regular Wizard.
Compared to the regular Wizard, the Super Wizard runs slightly faster, is around 2x stronger, and uses 10 housing spaces instead of 4.

The Super Wizard Special Ability called Chain Magic is what makes him so special and cool.
The Super Wizard can target only a single building at a time with his bolt, but once it hits that building, the bolt splits and targets all surrounding buildings.
To power-up your Wizard, transforming him on a Super Troop, you must have a regular Wizard level 9 or higher, which requires a Town Hall 12.
For complete information, stats and strategies, visit the [[Super Wizard]] page.
New Siege Machine: The Log Launcher
img src="2020-12-log-launcher-art-3.jpg" alt="Clash of Clans Winter 2020 Update Recap: Everything You Need to Know About the Christmas Update"
This Log Launcher is a brand new Siege Machine, a vehicle that shoots logs while slowly moves to the center of the village carrying Clan Castle troops.
It is unlocked once you upgrade your Siege Workshop to level 5. For this reason, it can only be built by Town Hall 13 users, but it can be donated to level 6 and higher Clan Castles, which requires a Town Hall 10.
It makes splash damage (area damage) on all buildings on the log path and makes 4x damage against walls, taking 5 logs to destroy a maxed Wall.

The Launcher has a range of 20 tiles or 4 buildings. To prevent the Log Launcher from destroying defenses from very far away and making it super OP, the log will be destroyed after the 4th building.
For complete information, stats and strategies, visit the [[Log Launcher]] page.
New Spell: Invisibility
img src="2020-12-invisible-spell-banner.jpg" height="200" alt="Home Village | Spells: Elixir | Invisibility Spell"
The Invisibility Spell is an Elixir Spell unlocked by upgrading the Spell Factory to level 6, which requires a Town Hall level 11.
img src="2020-12-sneak-peek-invisibility.jpg" alt="Sneak Peek 3: Invisibility Spell, New Levels, Balance Changes"
The Invisibility Spell creates a green ring on the battlefield where all troops AND defenses inside will be invisible.
While invisible, troops and buildings can't be targeted. The defenses will simply stop working, while the troops will ignore all invisible defenses and move forward as if they were not there.
While inside the spell, troops can still target buildings that are outside the spell.
This spell does not affect Siege Machines and Walls. All other units, including Heroes, will be affected.
For complete information, stats and strategies, visit the [[Invisibility Spell]] page.
New Magic Item: Super Potion
img src="omo59ej.png" height="200" alt="Sneak Peek: Super Troops Changes And New Magic Item!"
The Super Potion is a brand new Magic Item that lets you boost a Super Troops instead of spending the required Dark Elixir. Each Super Potion will boost a Super Troop for 3 days. Super Potions will be available as a reward from Clan Games, and will also sell at the Trader for 300 Gems.
For more information, visit the [[Potions]] page.
Ice Wizard is Back (Not Confirmed)

Two Troops at The Same Time
You can now boost up to TWO Super Troops at a time! That's right! Want to try that Super Witch + Super Wall Breaker combo without having to rely on Clan Castle donations? Now you can!
