Hey Clashers! Today a HUGE Sneak Peek was announced, explaining everything that will come on the brand new Builder Hall 9! Get ready, we have a new troop, a new defense and O.T.T.O, a brand new builder that allows the Master Builder to travel between both villages as an extra builder!
But it's not all about the Builder Base, a Practice Mode was announced for the Main Village and, at last, the Operation Blue Skies was finally confirmed (but will be explained on the next sneak peek).
Builder Hall 9

The Builder Hall 9 upgrade costs 3.800.000 Gold and takes 6 days to complete. Here is everything you will unlock with the new Builder Hall 9:

- 1x NEW: Lava Launcher
- 1x NEW: O.T.T.O Hut
- 20x Walls
- 1x Firecrackers
- 1x Spring Trap
- 1x Mega Mine
New Troop: Hog Glider

Two years ago when a few troops decided to go across the ocean to discover the Builder Base the Hog Rider never showed up on the other side. This is now fixed with the Hog Glider!
The Hog Glider is single target flying unit that targets defenses. Once he hits a defense, he stuns it for a few seconds.

Once he is destroyed he will automatically drop from the glider and act as a normal Hog Rider.

New Defense: Lava Launcher

The Lava Launcher is a very long range defense that hurls slabs of molten rock and sets that ground on fire!

Once the troops run over that area they will take damage for a certain length of time.

As you can see, the Lava Launcher range is massive! And what about the dead zone on the center? Huge! Basically you can only reach enemy troops outside the walls of your village, so always place it near the center.

NEW: O.T.T.O Hut

The O.T.T.O Hut is unlocked once you reach the Builder Hall 9 and you must upgrade it before you unlock the O.T.T.O, the Master Builder latest invention.

You do that by completing some requirements. You don't use resources, but you use prerequisites, similar to quests. Basically, you must be a maxed Builder Hall 9 to actually unlock O.T.T.O.

At last, when you reach Level 5 you will finally unlock O.T.T.O!

Once you unlock O.T.T.O, he will be the second builder on the Builder Base! Yes, you will finally be able to upgrade 2 buildings at the same time. With an extra builder, the Master Builder will finally be able to travel without issues to the Main Village and work as a regular builder over there, becoming the 6th builder of the Home Village.
However, to be able to travel to your Main Village you must first place the Master Builder Hut over there:

Well, it's done! Now you can travel the Master Builder to your Home Village!

If you later want to move him back to the Builder Base, you can. The Master Builder will become an extra builder that you can choose where you want him to work, Builder Base or Home Village.

Practice Mode

Now there is a Practice Mode on the Main Attack menu of your Home Village. Now there are three options: Single Player (Goblin Maps), Multiplayer and Practice.

All troops and formations are already pre-made so you don't have to spend resources on them.

As you unlock new Town Hall levels and Troops, new army formations will be added automatically to the Practice Mode.
Next Sneak Peek
The next and final Sneak Peek explaining how the Operation Blue Skies will work will be revealed on June 13th.
