We have recently talked about the incoming quality of life improvements in Clash of Clans, but we’re surprised to see a new update go live one day after being announced. Now let’s see what these changes bring.
Apart from quality of live improvements, the Clash of Clans team has also tweaked some of the Defenses and Troops in an attempt to balance the gameplay, which are now live in the game, as you can see in their Twitter post below:
Maintenance complete – the balance changes are now live! Clash on! ⚔️ https://t.co/16bfZ2kY2b

The team made it clear in their blog post that the “Quality of Life changes announced earlier will not go live yet, only the balance you’re about to read.”
Here are the changes and the reasons why some things get nerfed, and others get buffed.
Balance Changes and More
The Clash of Clans team argues that higher Town Hall levels’ Mortars and X-Bows are not very efficient in defending and dealing DPS, but they’re trying to balance them so that attacking or defending won’t be too easy or difficult. They will increase the DPS on Mortars and X-Bows but nerf the DPS from Archer Towers and Cannons. Barbarians and Goblins will also get some love from the team. Here is the new DPS according to level for the tweaked structures:
Cannon: Level 10: 65, now 64; Level 11: 80, now 74; Level 12: 95, now 87; Level 13: 110, now 100; Level 14: 120, now 110; Level 15: 130, now 118; Level 16: 140, now 125.
Archer Tower: Level 10: 65, now 63; Level 11: 75, now 70, Level 12: 83 > 75; Level 13: 92, now 80; Level 14: 108, now 92; Level 15: 120, now 104; Level 16: 134 > 116.
Mortar: Level 5: 8, now 9; Level 6: 9, now 11; Level 7: 11, now 15; Level 8: 14, now 20; Level 9: 17, now 25; Level 10: 20, now 30; Level 11: 23, now 35.
X-Bow: Level 1: 50, now 60; Level 2: 60, now 70, Level 3: 70, now 80; Level 4: 80, now 95; Level 5: 100, now 125; Level 6: 120, now 155,
Barbarians and Goblins get more Hit Points so that they are not affected by the changes mentioned above:
Barbarian: Level 7: 125, now 145; Level 8: 140, now 205.
Goblin: Level 4: 43, now 46; Level 5: 52, now 56; Level 6: 68, now 76, Level 7: 74, now 101.
Eagle Artillery had a small bug which was fixed in this update.
War Leagues demotion rules were changed (will be used starting with the March season) as follows:
- Demote only 1 Clan to Bronze Leagues
- Promote only 1 Clan to Master and Champion Leagues
- Demote 3 Clans from Champion I League
