'Clash of Clans' August 2016 update news: Developers reveal info on blog
The developers of the popular massively multiplayer online game "Clash of Clans" recently revealed the details of the forthcoming update on their blog.
The "Clash of Clans" team shared that the small balancing patch will have four adjustments. Among the four, the tweak made for healers will probably be the biggest and the most devastating in terms of strategy. The team decided that Healers will trigger air traps because they usually stay out of battle range.
Since Healers are vulnerable, the Queenwalk and the mass-Bowler tactic will usually take a huge hit, according to the International Business Times. With the usual Queenwalk, the player will surround the Archer Queen with three or four Healers to safeguard the offense. But with the latest update in place, additional Healers might be needed to maintain the following tactics.
The new update also increased cannon damage. For cannons at levels 11 through 14, the attack stats will be increased. The team revealed that they are developing a better defensive solution for mass attacks of mid-sized units.
On the other hand, the movement speed of Miners will be reduced. For an underground unit, the team found that it is a bit too speedy and far too effective in wiping out villages.
The Eagle Artillery will usually take too long to activate and too long to produce Town Hall 11 players. Hence, the team decided to bring earlier battle flexibility for attackers.
In the same post, the team confirmed that they are currently working on the next major update. Though the team revealed four tweaks for the small balancing patch, they have yet to announce the details of the next major update.
AppTrigger suggested that players should look forward to the following months, since the "Clash of Clans" team usually does something big in the fall, usually by September or October.
