Army Composition Sharing

listYou can now share your saved armies as well as your previously used army to Clan chat or as a link you can share outside the game, just like base links. Players using the link can copy the army composition to one of their own Quick Train slots.

Army links never expire!

You can now copy armies between your own Quick Train slots in case you want to make slight modifications to each army list, without the need to manually recreate it again./list

Village Rotation

listYes, you read that right! You can now rotate your Village in 90-degree increments while in Village Edit mode. ‘Nuff said.

Note: Rotating your Village will trigger the layout cooldown timer./list

Battle:

listFixed an issue where defensive Builders would get stuck on Hidden Teslas

Defending Builders will now properly retreat to their ruined Hut when it’s destroyed instead of just vanishing

Make the defending Builders stick to their target until it’s fully repaired. This also fixes the problem of getting no repair done inside a high level Poison spell

Royal Champion’s Seeking Shield ability will no longer target defensive Builders

Force retarget for jumping and flying Pets if their assigned Hero is knocked out and the Pet is attacking a wall

Force retarget for Mighty Yak if it's helping the Hero to destroy a wall and the Hero is knocked out or targets something else

Healers will no longer target Unicorn/list

User Interface

When editing a Quick Army you can now include any Super Troops where you have the required level on the original troop and not only Super Troops that have you currently active

Hide locked buildings from player profile village thumbnails

Show indicator in Friendly War screen layout button if the Friendly War layout is missing buildings

Always show Friendly War layout when opening the FW layout selection menu instead of showing active war base or active home layout in case FW layout is empty

Use correct graphics for level 3 Builder's Hut in the 12 o'clock position.

Additional Bug Fixes

listPower Potion description text fixed to no longer mention boosting spells twice. Thanks to all the many, many people who let us know about this!

Do not reduce battle timer of challenge levels to 3 minutes if you start the battle by deploying multiple troops at once

Fix bug from Remove All tool in layout editor. In some cases when there are over 500 objects on the map, all of them were not properly removed which may result in failures when trying to save the village later

Fix the bug which would sometimes put stashed decorations back to the map when saving the active layout in the layout editor

Allow swapping of buildings without layout cooldown also when editing active layout in layout editor

Always save the layout when clicking save for non-active layouts. Earlier the layout editor would not save the layout if it has invalid placements for buildings. Now wrongly placed buildings are automatically moved to stash when saving

If an obstacle is blocking a decoration in one of the 3 home layouts, show the obstacle icon properly when selecting layouts. Earlier usage of the layout would just fail without an explanation

Allow editing of Friendly Army while visiting the Builder Base

Do not show the range indicator when placing a new Builder's Hut. It's not weaponized.

Clean up Builder Base troops properly after each attack. Prevents extra troops in rare cases where the game server disconnects during an attack

Show boosted level badge for Pets in battle end screen when Hero Potion is active

Show remaining builder boost time also for Builder's Huts which are under upgrade

Show remaining Star Bonus boost time in Town Hall (from the previous Town Hall upgrade) even if it's under upgrade

Show boost effect for Builder's Huts and Town Hall when they are under upgrade if the boost is active anyway

Make Inferno Towers visually target Unicorn instead of targeting the air above the Unicorn

Fixes and improvements to move all tool in layout editor

sublistRefresh all wall connections after moving the village

No longer cancel wall rotations which are done just before moving the village

Allow usage of the tool even if Builder Base wall segment is selected

Deselect any selected wall pieces when moving the village

In case the movement button is disabled because one of the objects is too close to the edges, highlight the object which is preventing the movement when the button is pressed

/sublistFixed Heroes occasionally doing 360 turns during attacks

Fix the new content badge continuing to show on the Esports tab in some cases where the content has been read

Clan description max length is 250 characters both when creating a clan and editing the description later (used to be 128 on creation and 250 when editing)

Increase Drop Ship death damage on levels 10-11 and levels 14-15 to fix inconsistency between special ability info and the actual death damage/list
