Starter Challenges are a new way for players between Town Hall 2-6 to speed up their progress through a variety of Challenges similar to the Silver/Gold Pass. These new free-to-play Challenges are unlocked with each Town Hall level and completing each Challenge will provide more Challenges to complete.
New Starter Pass Reward Track
There are some deliciously tempting rewards that can be earned on the Starter Pass. From Rune of Gold to a Book of Building, the Starter Pass reward track has up to 5000 points for players to complete.
Once a player upgrades to Town Hall 7, all unclaimed rewards are automatically collected.

We’ve made a number of changes to help improve the user experience when players use the Find New Member feature.
listIt is now possible for players to receive invites without also being suggested in the Find New Members feature. The Invites preference in the player profile now offers 3 settings.
sublistReceive Invites + Be Suggested
Receive Invites
No Invites/sublist
Players who chose to be suggested in the Find New Members feature must confirm that they are still looking for a Clan every week to continue being suggested.
Invites to join a clan now expire after 2 weeks. This will prevent cases where someone joins a clan unexpectedly from a very old invite.
There is now an info popup in Find New Members that gives some detail on how the feature works and explains what controls clans have over the recommendations.
Clans can now set a language in their settings./list

New Achievements
We’ve added a bevvy of new Achievements aimed at high-level players to accomplish!

Destroy weaponized Town Halls in Multiplayer Battles
Siege Sharer
Donate Siege Machines

Superb Work
Boost Super Troops
Gameplay
listBoosts on Heroes or Buildings are no longer canceled when an upgrade is started and will continue to run in the background.
Practice mode levels are now only available at the same Town Hall as the level, not one earlier.
Ongoing Lab upgrade timer continues normally when Lab is upgraded and can be finished with Gems or a Book. New unit/spell upgrades still cannot be started before the Lab upgrade is completed.
Move some of the obstacles from the new Village starting layout closer to the edges so there's larger continuous empty space for the Village.
sublistThe rewards for the first 19 Goblin Map levels after the tutorial have been increased for a better new player experience:
Values for level 20 and beyond remain unchanged/sublist/list
UI Changes
listAchievements are now listed in a more sensible order rather than the order they were first added to the game.
There is now a confirmation popup when pressing the Finish Training button in the Training Screen.
New icon for max poison DPS to distinguish it from normal DPS
Lab research screen is accessible during Lab upgrade
Keep the level badge flame burning in combat hud when all troops/spells are deployed
Use pop over to show what the new buildings/traps are in Town Hall / Builder Hall upgrade screen/list
3D Assets
listThe default Skin for the Barbarian King has been given a slight polish by adding more triangles which better captures the character and essence of his royal highness. Furthermore, the custom textures take full advantage of the new shaders. We plan to do this with all of the default skins of each Hero. We will apply this new shader tech to future skins but we have no plans to revisit older ones at the moment./list
Season Challenge Changes
listWhen claiming a resource reward if the player only has enough storage space for some of the reward they can now take whatever amount of the reward will fit and some gems. The amount of gems scales from a max of 5 down to 1 based on what proportion of the resources were taken. E.g. if a player takes 20% of resources they will receive 4 gems (80% of 5).
When a Season ends any unlocked but unclaimed rewards from the Season will be automatically claimed. Any rewards unable to fit into storage will be converted to gems according to the same rules as if this was done manually.
If a player is close to maxed and cannot complete the requirements of a challenge requiring upgrading a certain number of walls or buildings, they will only have to complete as much as they can still upgrade. If they are fully maxed out and cannot upgrade anything the challenge will be automatically completed.
New Clan Games and Gold Pass challenges for Invisibility Spell
All Season Challenges relating to Winning Battles with a Troop or Spell have had the quantity needed per battle reduced to 1 each./list
iOS Changes
listThe default frame rate for 120FPS iPad Pro models is set to 60FPS in order to preserve battery usage. If you wish to switch to 120FPS, there is a new Higher Frame Rate option under More Settings that will allow you to revert to 120FPS.
On supported devices we now use Apple's Metal graphics API. This offers more efficient performance and should reduce power usage while playing the game.
