'Clash of Clans' Town Hall 11 News Update: Supercell Rolls Out Sneak Peeks On New Updates
As a lot of fans may know by now, Supercell will be releasing a major update very soon for its hit strategy mobile video game, "Clash of Clans." The developer has previously announced that they will be giving a series of sneak peeks so that players can have a better grasp on the big changes coming towards the game this December.
Earlier reports indicated that the teaser event will seek to discuss on topics like Shields, League Bonuses, Trophy Offer, Matchmaking, and of course, the Town Hall 11 features.
A report from International Business Times cited the latest update from Supercell. One of the most highlighted is the changes that won't give gamers shield from Town Hall destruction. As said, there won't also be any shield activation if the attacker deployed no less than 1/3rd of his/her army.
Supercell meanwhile pointed out the duration of the shields given per percentage of destruction. At 30% of destruction, 12 hours of shield will be given. At 60%, 14 hours of shield, while at 90% destruction, 16 hours of shield.
The sneak peek recap from Supercell also mentioned the new details that are to be expected in the new patch including Attacking Through Shield, Village Guard, Personal Break Timer (PBT), League Bonus, Loot, Trophy Rebalancing, as well as Other new Changes.
