Clash of New Defenses

Hey there, Clashers!

Get ready for an exciting update as we reveal the latest sneak peek of the TH18 upgrade. This time, we're focusing on new defensive features that will challenge your strategic skills.

First up is the Revenge Tower, a new fortress that intensifies as your village sustains damage. Initially silent and harmless, it becomes more aggressive the more buildings fall. Its transformation is dynamic and relentless.

Here's how the Revenge Tower progresses during a battle:

• When no buildings are lost, it remains dormant, posing no threat.
• After losing five structures, it activates with a single-target, high-damage attack that’s relatively slow.
• Once twenty buildings are destroyed, it speeds up its attack cycle, now bouncing to a secondary target.
• At forty lost structures, it reaches peak aggression with rapid attacks that can hit up to three targets simultaneously.

Additionally, the update introduces the Totem Spell, offering new strategic options to turn the tide of battle. The crafted defenses also see significant improvements, making base layouts more resilient and customizable.

And don’t forget to check out the new Fancy Shop, where Sparky Stones are now available, adding a splash of flair and utility to your defenses.

To recap, the more damage your base takes, the fiercer the Revenge Tower becomes, forcing you to rethink your defenses and attack strategies. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to test your defenses!

The newly introduced Totem Spell offers a strategic addition to spell casting, bringing a unique element to battlefield tactics.

Upon activation, it summons a formidable totem that acts as a durable tank in combat. This totem appears at the chosen location and is capable of attracting both ground and aerial defenses, adding a new layer of tactical depth.

What sets this spell apart is its impact on nearby structures and units. When cast, the spell inflicts minor damage and briefly stuns surrounding buildings and defensive troops, often causing enemy defenses to shift their focus toward the totem itself.

With approximately 10,000 hitpoints, the totem boasts remarkable durability, making it difficult to eliminate quickly. It counts as a troop, remaining on the battlefield until destroyed, and influences enemy targeting behaviors.

The totem's effective radius extends about six tiles, providing ample space for its stun and damage effects. While it can be attacked by standard defenses such as cannons and air defenses, it is immune to triggers from rage or poison spell towers, ensuring its presence remains consistent during engagement.

A new season of crafted defenses has arrived, introducing three innovative structures that expand strategic options for base design. These defenses are replacing the previous crafted systems, and access to them is now limited to players below Town Hall 17, with ongoing upgrades automatically refunded. The season duration has been extended to four months, providing more time for players to experiment and upgrade.

One of the key additions is a support-style building that enhances hero survivability and performance without attacking itself. When destroyed, its boosts vanish, emphasizing the importance of protecting it. Upgrades focus on increasing building health, hero health, and hero damage per second, allowing players to tailor their defenses.

Another new defensive structure is a single-target weapon capable of engaging both ground and air units. It inflicts greater damage at close range, reducing its effectiveness over distance. Its upgrade modules include enhancing its health, damage output, and attack cooldown. Complementing this is a splash-damage defense targeting both ground and air threats, firing bombs in fixed directions until hitting a target or reaching maximum range. Upgrades here improve durability, damage, and firing range.

These additions introduce deeper tactical layers, enabling diverse support roles and area control strategies in base layout planning.

In addition to defenses, a new in-game store feature called the Fancy Shop allows players to spend Sparky Stones, a currency earned through seasonal and temporary upgrade systems. Players who have completed supercharge or seasonal defense upgrades will find they already possess Sparky Stones, which can be used to purchase exclusive items.

Within the shop, players can acquire a meteor builder skin or exclusive home village decorations—each available for a one-time purchase—and also apply charge effects to decorations multiple times. When selecting a decoration, the game highlights which can receive these effects, offering customization options that enhance visual appeal and personalization.

All builders now feature fully 3D models, matching the visual quality of heroes and guardians. Players can apply skins or effects by selecting decorations and choosing “add effect.” Once applied, these effects are permanent for now and sync with supercharge visuals, adding a vibrant touch to the village.

Temporary troops are now restricted from ranked battles, clan wars, and CWL to maintain fair competition. Players who skip ranked battles for a week retain their league placement and bonuses but must participate in the next tournament to avoid demotion. A warning system alerts players if they risk losing their rank, especially if they haven’t signed up before the upcoming tournament deadline.

Finally, matchmaking within weekly tournaments has been adjusted to be less predictable, with some promotion and demotion probabilities rebalanced to create a more dynamic competitive environment.

Game Update Highlights

An expanded information screen now displays detailed data about spawned skeletons in skeleton traps, providing players with more insight into their defenses.

When selecting hero skins, the builder base background becomes visible, adding visual consistency across gameplay modes.

Your personal attacks are now recorded separately, no longer cluttering the main game log, making it easier to track your own offensive efforts.

The in-game inbox has received a revamped layout, improving message management and accessibility for players.

Revenge battles are now accompanied by a dedicated end-of-battle screen, enhancing the post-fight experience.

The battle log units are organized more clearly, following the sequence: troops, siege, heroes, spells, clan banner, cc troops, cc siege, cc spells, for better readability.

Defensive heroes that are knocked out turn slightly transparent when near ground units, providing visual cues about their status.

Builders now feature a 3D appearance, adding depth and realism to the game's visual elements.

Day 2 of the TH18 sneak peeks unveils exciting new mechanics—like the reactive Revenge Tower, the durable Totem Spell, and a stylish new shop interface.

These updates indicate a focus on deeper strategic gameplay and more rewarding experiences that feel genuinely earned.

With Day 3 on the horizon, if the first two days are any indication, even more major features and surprises are likely on the way, keeping fans eager for what's next.
