Finally, the long awaited update for Clash of Clans has been released. I have been waiting for a long time for this release. The game's Facebook page has provided a sneak peek of what's coming and this really made me excited for it. The major updates in this release are the Hero abilities added to the Barbarian King and Archer Queen which allows them to be enraged (Iron Fist) and invisible (Royal Cloak), respectively, for a short time. The Hero abilities are unlocked for free at Level 5 and improve in strength every 5 additional levels. I still haven't attacked this week but I'm very excited to use it on my Level 7 Barbarian King. I already saw a replay shared by my clan mate last night. One of the changes though have been disabled temporarily because of some problems. This is related to the Gem Box that's supposed to be included in the release. For the mean time, trees and bushes surrounding your village will give you more gems than before.
Here's the complete release notes of the update from the App Store.
All hail new Hero abilities!
- Both Heroes have acquired special abilities that can be activated once per battle, after they have been deployed.
- Iron Fist: The Barbarian King and nearby Barbarians become enraged for a short time, moving faster and dealing more damage (does not stack with the Rage Spell).
- Royal Cloak: The Archer Queen hides from and becomes invisible to all enemy defenses for a short time.
- Both Hero abilities will instantly call in a group of Barbarians or Archers to reinforce their King or Queen.
- Hero abilities unlock for free at Hero level 5 and improve in strength every additional 5 Hero levels!
Flyers, freezers and brand new boosts
- Level 6 Minions are here to wreak havoc on enemy bases!
- Level 5 Freeze Spell leaves defenses on ice for longer than ever before.
