Crafted Defenses

More choice, more upgrades, more ways to Clash. Don’t let the Builder have all the fun! For the first time ever, YOU get to choose how to upgrade a new temporary Defense type—Crafted Defenses! Crafted Defenses are here to spark the curiosity and creativity of Chiefs at the last Town Hall level. Up to 3 Crafted Defenses are available to build throughout a Crafting Phase. Let’s learn all about them:

• Build and upgrade up to 3 temporary Crafted Defenses on the Crafting Station (Town Hall 17). 

• Only 1 Crafted Defense can be active at a time, but you can switch between them anytime!

• Up to 3 Crafted Defenses are available to build during a Crafting Phase, these typically will last about 3 months. New Crafted Defenses will take their place with the next phase.

• Each Crafted Defense has 3 upgradeable Modules. Choose the Modules you’d like to upgrade and make a Crafted Defense that’s truly your own!

• New Crafting Phases will bring new Crafted Defenses! Experiment with new Defenses as they turn up and you might just find a new favorite.

Our first 3 Crafted Defenses will be:

• The Hook Tower: The reel deal! The Hook Tower pulls attackers in and stuns them! Sadly, Siege Machines are a bit too heavy.

• The Flame Spinner: An endless whirlwind of the hot stuff! Spins right round and emits flames to damage nearby attackers.

• The Crusher Mortar: What goes up, must crush down! Launches giant mortars to crush nearby foes! 

Ice Block Dark Elixir Spell

Cast this cool concoction and encase ally Troops in a protective icy barrier that blocks almost all damage but freezes their attack and movement. Great for distracting Defenses while other Troops continue to push! 

• Unlock at Town Hall 14.

• Level 7 Dark Spell Factory required.

• 2 Upgrade levels at Town Hall 14, with 1 upgrade level at each following Town Hall.

• Upgrade levels increase the % protection from incoming attacks.

Cookbook

They say anyone can cook, and that’s never been more true than ever with the new Army Training Cookbook! Revolutionize your Training routine with recommended Army Recipes!

This new third tab on your Army Training screen offers Starter and Featured Armies to browse and use! 

• Starter Armies: Simple Army Recipe suggestions catered to your current Town Hall level. They consist of regular Troops, Spells, and common Equipment.

• Featured/ Creator Armies: Time-limited Army Recipe suggestions based on an on-going  Event or hand-crafted by a Creator. They can contain any Troops or Spells available in-game.

• The Cookbook will unlock at Town Hall 4.

• Featured and Creator Army Recipes will start appearing at Town Hall 10.
