Frontline Improvements
This update brings a new Heavy Sergeant, a new way to preview Elite Leaders, improvements to the early player experience, and a wide range of UI, visual, and gameplay fixes.
New Sergeant: Boomaroo Bruce
Boomaroo Bruce is a Heavy Sergeant inspired by his love for Zookas, firing a barrage of small rockets in quick succession. At maximum level, he also gains additional range and lets his entire squad fire barrages of rockets.
Elite Leader Trials
With our very first Elite Leader coming up, we’re introducing Elite Leader Trials. These trials let you test the Leader before attempting to recruit them, giving you a better idea of how they play and helping you decide whether you want to go after them or not.
Trials are available during the limited recruitment window.
Mystical Monument Level Cap Increased
The Mystical Monument maximum level cap has been increased to 800, along with a brand new graphic for level 800.
The new levels will not unlock immediately when the update goes live. If your Monument is already at the current maximum level, it will display a timer showing when the new levels become available.
This is intended to keep leaderboard competition fair for everyone.
Updated New Player Tutorial
A new first-time user experience tutorial has been added to provide a more grounded and smoother start to your journey.
Supercell ID Login Before Tutorial
Added the option to log in with Supercell ID before starting the tutorial, allowing returning players, or players installing the game on a new device, to continue without having to complete the tutorial first.
