New hero pets

With the new Town Hall, a new king of unit is coming to Clash of Clans. Upon upgrading to Town Hall 14, players will unlock the Pet House. Here, you will be able to manage your hero pets. Upgrading the Pet House will give players new pets at each level. These are:

Level one unlocks L.A.S.S.I
Level two unlocks Electro Owl
Level three unlocks Mighty Yak
Level four unlocks Unicorn

Every hero in Clash of Clans will be able to take one of these pets into battle. Each pet offers different perk to the hero. Diversifying your heroes by assigning different pets to them will be crucial in the game.

Hero pets, just like heroes, can be upgraded by utilizing Magic Items.

L.A.S.S.I

Ability: High Jumper. LA.S.S.I can jump over Walls to attack targets on the other side.
Favorite target: Within 2.5 Tiles of Hero

Targets: Ground
Movement speed: 32

Electro Owl

Ability: High Voltage. Electro Owl’s attack bounces to a nearby target.

New Battle Builders

Defensive Builder’s Huts

Upgrading to Town Hall 14 also enables players to upgrade their Builders Huts. On upgrading to level two or above, the structure will be equipped with a weaponized turret which will shoot down enemy troops.

Range: Six Tiles
Damage type: Single Target
Targets: Ground & Air
Favorite target: Any

Builders Battle Back

After upgrading the Town Hall to level 14, the Builder will also take part in defending your village. He will repair damage which is done to your base’s structures.

The Builder can’t be damaged by enemy troops. But spells like Poison and Freeze will disrupt his repairs. The lightning spell, on the other hand, will make him reset his repair target.

Upon destroying the Builder Hut, the Builder will stop repairing buildings.

New achievements

Supercell has added new achievements aimed at high-level players to accomplish.

Not So Easy This Time – Destroy weaponized Town Halls in multiplayer battles.
Siege Sharer – Donate Siege Machines (Note: Since Siege Machine donations are now counted towards this Achievement, they are no longer counted towards the Friend in Need Achievement).
Superb Work – Boost Super Troops.
Bust This! – Destroy weaponized Builder Huts in multiplayer battles.

Gameplay

Boosts on Heroes or Buildings are no longer cancelled when an upgrade is started and will continue to run in the background.
Practice mode levels are now only available at the same Town Hall as the level, not one earlier.
Ongoing Lab upgrade timer continues normally when Lab is upgraded and can be finished with Gems or a Book. New unit/spell upgrades still cannot be started before the Lab upgrade is completed.
Move some of the obstacles from the new Village starting layout closer to the edges so there’s larger continuous empty space for the Village.
The rewards for the first 19 Goblin Map levels after the tutorial have been increased for a better new player experience:
- Values for level 20 and beyond remain unchanged.

Miscellaneous

UI changes

Achievements are now listed in a more sensible order.
There is now a confirmation popup when pressing Finish Training in the Training Screen.
New icon for max poison DPS to distinguish it from normal DPS.
Lab research screen is accessible during Lab upgrade.
Keep the level badge flame burning in combat HUD when all troops or spells are deployed.
Use popover to show what the new buildings/traps are in TH/BH upgrade screen.

3D assets

The default skin for the Barbarian King has been updated by adding more triangles to better capture the character and essence of his royalty.
The custom textures take full advantage of the new shaders.

IOS changes

The default frame rate for 120FPS iPad Pro models is set to 60FPS to preserve battery usage. To switch to 120FPS, users can visit the new Higher Frame Rate option under “More Settings” that will allow you to revert to 120FPS.
Supercell now uses Apple’s Metal graphics API on supported devices. This offers more efficient performance and should reduce power usage while playing the game.
To use Facebook’s social features, it’s now necessary to grant permission for cross app-tracking.

Bug fixes

Supercell has fixed a number of bugs in the game ranging from gameplay-related ones to issues affecting the UI, VFX, and layout editor. Players can find the full list of bug fixes in the patch notes.
