Hello Clashers! The Sneak Peeks are probably over so I decided to compile a list with all the changes coming on the next update. Check it out!

Clan War Leagues

This new game mode is a competitive Clan War system. This is probably the first Clash of Clans mode that might be completely skill-based.

The competition will happen once every month, it's basically an event. Your clan must sign up to participate, just as the regular war.

Once it starts, you will face 7 other clans to find out which one is the best.

The event lasts 7 days, one war per day, against all other clans in the group. At the end, we will know which one is the best clan!

Once the Clan War starts, you have to pick 15 members of your clan. It will always be 15 vs 15, so you have to pick 15 members each day. It is only one attack per player, so it's very important that all select members indeed attack on the war. Each day different member can be chosen, so you can change your team during the war, removing users that didn't attack.

LEAGUES

The winners will be promoted to the next Clan War League and the losers will be demoted. There are 18 League tiers in total.

NEW MAGIC ITEM: MAGIC HAMMERS

Clan War Leagues will feature exclusive rewards: Magic Hammers. These Hammers have the ability to start and finish any upgrade, including resources, making them more powerful than Magic Books. The only way to get them is through the Clan War Leagues.

There are 4 types of Magic Hammers: Troops, Buildings, Spells and Heroes.

LEAGUE SHOP

This is a brand new shop where you can buy exclusive items with a new currency. You will be able to buy Magic Hammers and exclusive decoration.

NEW MAGIC ITEM: CLOCK TOWER BOOST

img src="clashofclans_2018-oct-19.jpg" width="300" quality="50" alt="Clash of Clans League Shop Decoration"

Yes, this potion will activate the Builder Base Clock Tower for 30 minutes. This will be very useful not only to the clashers that love the Builder Base, but also to boost the Gem Mine to all users. It will be very helpful to complete hard/long tasks from the events.

HALLOWEEN IS HERE!

Get ready Clashers, the Halloween theme is coming! The Barbarian Pumpkin and/or Pumpkin Bomb will be back!

TORNADO TRAP

img src="cwl_05.jpg" width="443" quality="50" alt="Clash of Clans Tornado Trap"

Today a new trap was also announced, the Tornado Trap! This trap creates a small vortex of air that stalls troops, making them spin around the trap.

img src="tornado.jpg" width="566" quality="50" alt="Clash of Clans Tornado in Action"

The troops also suffer a small amount of damage, but the main goal is to stall the troops, slowing down the attack and giving more time to the defenses.

The stats numbers are not final and can still change, but we can have an idea of how the trap will work. Upgrading will only increase the duration of the vortex. Don't forget this is a trap, not a defense, so it will be activated only one time per battle.

VISUAL CHANGES

Spotted by Galadon on his url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbc1Z1XFAtY&feature=youtu.be&a="YouTube channel/url, the max level Inferno Tower and Archer Tower will get a new visual. This was not not confirmed yet.

THIRD INFERNO TOWER

There are several balance changes coming, but by far the biggest game changes is the 3rd Inferno Tower added to Town Hall 12. This is huge and will affect the game dramatically. There were many comments/complains about how easy it was to get 100% even on maxed out Town Hall 12, and this should change now.

New Levels

Bu as you can see on the picture above, Mines and Collectors are getting a new level. Here is the list of new upgrades coming:

Air Bombs (red ones):

• New level added to TH12

• Reduced activation radius from 5 tiles to 4 tiles

Bombs:

• New level added to TH11

• Shortened the detonation delay from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds to make them reliably hit a larger variety of different troops triggering them.

Resource Collectors

• Gold Mine: new level added for TH10

• Elixir Collector: new level added to TH10

• Dark Elixir Collector: new level added to TH10

Walls

• Up to 200 Wall Pieces can now be upgraded to level 13 (previously only 100 could be upgraded).

SINGLE PLAYER MAPS

img src="single-player-maps.jpg" width="300" quality="50" alt="Clash of Clans Single Player Maps"

Yes, the long time requested new single player maps are finally coming! We will get 25 new Goblin Maps and two new achievements: "Get those other goblins" and "Dragon Slayer".

Quality of Life Changes

Confirmed Quality of Life Changes coming on the next Clash of Clans update:

Machines: The game will automatically default to the last deployment you used. If you used a Siege Machine in your last attack, it will default to that setting for your next attack. If you didn’t use a Siege Machine and just deployed CC troops normally, your next attack will use that setting instead.

Siege Machines: Donating Siege Machines will now provide 30XP instead of 1XP.

Troop Selection: When starting an attack, no troops will be selected by default. That way you won’t accidentally deploy a troop when touching the map. You will need to manually select which troop you will deploy first.

Replays: New replay speed available. Rewatch battles at 1/2 replay speed.

Electro Dragon: Eddie’s Lightning Spell upon death will now deal damage to Resource buildings.

Grand Warden: The Grand Warden’s mode can be toggled even while he is healing.
