fyi quattro, been busy this week, haven't declared. not sure if people still want to war right now anyway, but if someone wants to fire it up that's fine.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

40vs40 war. Our 40 is a TH8, theirs has 20/21 heroes with a full set of lavas.

#warweight

 

[Lionsfan011]

Anyone know how much elixir will be needed for L6 Lightning upgrade after the update?

Probably 7m as the current cost is 8m

 

[=Smackdown=]

3rd sneak peek is out . . .

Lava Hounds will no longer target air troops

Lv11 Electric blue lava walls replaced with an orange color

25 more wall pieces

 

[culdeus]

More walls.

Hounds don't target air troops.

Certainly a pro air update.

 

[=Smackdown=]

AQ walk not nerfed?

 

[VA703]

orang electric boogaloo walls?!?!

 

[sartre]

On the forum, someone posted a screencap showing that there will be a tiebreaker for clan wars -

"the clan with more destruction percentage in their best attacks"

AQ walk not nerfed?

In a way walls can help.

On the forum, someone posted a screencap showing that there will be a tiebreaker for clan wars - total destruction %

This was from the hack a few weeks back

Are you saying it is faked? Or just that it is old news to you?

Old news to you. Cool. Thanks for sharing that with us.

 

[sartre]

The update vid also suggests that poison spells after the first one deal no additional damage, they just increase the rate of damage. Interesting.

99% sure I posted this here.

Same guy that hacked the last update says that next one could include donations of spells.

InterestingAny other leaks? Don't see anything about it on the boards

It's the top topic at Reddit right now. None of the rest of the stuff he found seems all that interesting. Seems like they are going to make some sort of native video capture thing available maybe. Like you can share a replay to youtube. Not super clear what that is.

This. Sorry for not bullet pointing the damage % leak but it was in here.

Back on topic, while it isn't clear yet what constitutes "best attacks", this certainly could change attack strategies near the top in close matchups.

Moroder,

Do you want someone to try and snipe one of the TH10s in this war? I'm willing to give it a try if needed. Let me know.

Without my BK, I think their #2 is the only TH10 I might be able to 2-star. Their #3 looks like a pretty easy snipe (42 buildings outside the walls) but I'm more worried about #1. Kev still has an attack and might be planning to attack it -- before sniping we should check with him

Best % on most stars gained.

So a 50% 2* to cover a 99% 1* would lower your %

 

[freeannyong]

More walls.... Ugh. Goodbye forever clover I loved when people had them at this point. Easy 2

Lava hounds no longer target air units. Air attacks can further ignore them in the CC. Seems like a subtle change, be interesting to see it in the field.

That plus poison and zap on the AQ has made air attacks even stronger. Can damn near penta everything.

They realllllllly want dragons to be relevant.

The reason to have a hound in your CC is their hit points not their attacking power. This will hurt if pups don't attack air troops, but the pups will now go after heroes exclusively. That might suck worse for the attacker.

Have they said what pups do?

Like the tie-breaker. Actually wondered why they didn't do that already.

True, but this could delay/prevent the thing from even coming out to play.

Thought update was coming this morning? More sneak peeks instead?

 

[culdeus]

Full change list

Spell Superiority and a Clan War Tiebreaker!

• Improved Lightning, Poison, Earthquake and Freeze spells!
  
• Lightning Spell level 7 and 25 new Wall pieces have been added to Town Hall level 10
  
• Total Destruction is now a Clan Wars tiebreaker – if the score is even at the end of the war, the Clan with more destruction percentage in their best attacks will be the victor!
  
• Attack and Defense tabs have be added to Clan tabs in the War Stats to quickly see all best attacks in the war for either clan
  
• The appearance of Wall level 11 has been revamped and looks TOTALLY EPIC
  

Recharged Lightning Spell

• Lightning Spell level 7 ravages buildings and troops alike
  
• Increased damage for Lightning Spell levels 5 and 6
  
• Lightning Spell bolts now strike closer together to miss less often
  
• Lightning Spell level 6 is now available at Town Hall 9
  

Reworked Poison Spell

• Troops in Poison Spells now take less damage at first, but much more over time
  
• Poison Spell damage now increases to huge amounts and lingers after leaving the spell
  
• Poison Spells now also reduce the attack rate of defending Troops
  

Reworked Earthquake Spell

• Earthquake Spells deal much more damage, regardless of a building's current hitpoints
  
• Repeated Earthquake Spells now deal diminishing damage to the same buildings
  
• Four Earthquake Spells will still always destroy any level of Wall!
  
• There are no longer any special "building execution rules" for Earthquake spells - a building just needs to be reduced to 0 HP
  
• Example: If an Earthquake Spell has 25% damage, the first Earthquake spell cast on a building will ALWAYS deal 25% of maximum HP damage, thus destroying any building with under 25% HP remaining. Repeated Earthquake Spells on the same building deal less damage: 25/3 %, 25/5 %. 25/7 %, etc. This diminishing damage means that it is still impossible to destroy buildings only using Earthquake Spells.
  

Game Balancing

• Freeze Spells now also affect defending air troops
  
• Lava Hounds can no longer target air troops
  
• Attacking troops will now engage defending troops from further away
  
• Titan III and Titan II Leagues can now buy 1 week shields from the Shop
  
• The Army Overview button is now also visible from the Clan War map

Have they said what pups do?

defending pups attack ground/air - confirmed

 

[thecatch]

so is it possible to take out something like an inferno tower with a combo of EQ and lightning?

 

[culdeus]

Seems like 2 eq and 2 zaps might just be able to do it but could leave a sliver, need to see the final numbers. #math

 

[sartre]

I think EQ sounds like the biggest winner. Presumably it will be worth upgrading now.

superqueen farming is going to be insane now. Completely unstoppable.

I'm really surprised they didn't do anything to nerf AQ walks.

Same here

Although some are saying that adding 25 more wall pieces to Dragon Flower bases will make things harder on the AQ walk

The change to the Level 11 walls makes me want to have Level 11 walls.

People will just use split walks more and heal stuff that isn't a queen if you bury AA where the queen can't touch them.
