Clash of Clans’ Town Hall Update – New Potions, Giga Tesla and Siege Machines

With a new update of Clash of Clans expected to be released later this month, Supercell is planning to add a huge amount of interesting features to keep its fan base happy. Since its launch, five years ago, this game was nothing but successful, in a big part thanks to the company’s policy of a constant improvement through updates, which have kept the game exciting and enjoyable. The 2018 summer update is supposed to do exactly that. We also expect many aspects of the game to be changed for the better.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the proposed changes.

Balancing changes

As it is the case with every important update, some balances will be modified. These changes will cover certain aspects of the game, such as: cheaper wall rings, lower costs of improving wall rings, increased maximum storage limit for Elixir, Gold and Dark Elixir, more loot gained through winning wars and some of the spells becoming more powerful.

New potions to be added

Five new potions will become available within the official Fan Kit: Magic Potion, Heroic Potion, Potion of Strength, Reset Clock Potion and Insta Finish Potion.

Giga Tesla

This new feature will help you protect your town hall against the aggressors and becomes available to you as soon as you upgrade to Town Hall 12. Giga Tesla itself can be updated up to five levels, which adds more power to the weapon.

Siege Machines to be introduced

As confirmed by Supercell, Siege Machines will become part of the battlefield with Town Hall 12. These weapons will have a great impact on the game, changing the strategies of attacks between clans and players.

New troop to be added

A new troop, now confirmed to be Electro Dragon, will be added as a part of the Town Hall 12 update.

The TH12 update is supposed to be released around the third week of June, much to the excitement of the fans.

Here you can see the best tips and strategies for a Clash of Clans fan:

Clash of Clans’ Town Hall 12 Newest Powerful Troops and Electro Dragon

A new troop for Clash of Clans that was leaked on Thursday is now confirmed by a post on the official COC blog. It was named Electro Dragon and it becomes available with the new Town Hall 12 update.

Electro Dragon is supposed to be a reward for those players whose determination and effort make them eligible to unlock it. This troop comes with Town Hall 12, which has been circulating the internet over the past week. June’s update will provide some changes when it comes to balances and engineered bases. Some extra work may be needed, but so far, the fans of Clash of Clans are satisfied with all the proposed changes. Having learned from the failure of the Town Hall 11 update, Supercell wants to make sure that all the newly introduced features are not interfering with the content that already exists.

Let’s take a closer look at Electro Dragon and what it offers. Judging by the recently revealed stats, this troop is going to be a destructive weapon, one of the deadliest creatures in the history of Clash of Clans. Some details are still unknown, but we know for sure that Electro Dragon will be an extremely expensive troop when it comes to the cost of its maintenance. This, and the fact that it will take an enormous amount of time to train it will definitely make it a very unique troop. Still, it’s better to be prepared as there’s always a chance that you will encounter one of them.

Leaked information gives us more details about the Electro Dragon troop. It requires Town Hall 11, Barracks level 13. It’s not picky about the type of target, as it can attack both on the ground and in the air. While in the battle, Electro Dragon first hits its initial target and then it can destroy up to five other targets, by using its Lightning Breath. Also, lightning bolts are released on the enemies in case the troop dies.

We can’t wait to see Electro Dragon in action! Meanwhile, the Town Hall 12 update will most likely be released later in June.

Houdini Semi-jailbreak for iOS 12 Beta Working Soon

We already know that CoolStar is working on releasing an Electra jailbreak for iOS 11.3.1 and that the Houdini iOS 11.3.1 semi-jailbreak is out in the public domain.

Now we have some updates regarding the Houdini tool that seems to be already working on iOS 12 beta devices. The developer of the Houdini semi-jailbreak, Abraham Masri, has recently released an update for Houdini that has been received very well by the jailbreaking community. This is of course enough to prove that “jailbreaking isn’t dead” and that there is still a battle going on between Apple and the jailbreak community.

Thus, this newest update comes with tremendous excitement, as it is obvious that iOS 12 has its vulnerabilities that will be exploited even more in the future.

The information that we have so far comes from an image that was shared by Masri himself, showing Houdini running on an iPhone that already has iOS 12 installed. Also, based on a secondary post that reads “Just to be clear, the exploit used in the screenshot is not very powerful. It allows Houdini to write anything outside the sandbox but not read”, it looks like a new exploit is being used in order to allow this version of Houdini to function on iOS 12.

Another thing that we saw revealed in the post is that this semi-jailbreak tool may not be very “powerful” yet. Nevertheless, we are excited to see that Masri already started working on trying to liberate Apple’s iOS 12 platform. As we can probably expect, Apple will continue to launch new versions of iOS 12 into the testing community. They will certainly try to make the newer versions of the software as secure as possible.

We can definitely count on both security researchers and developers to create the jailbreaking tools that the community needs. Also, while the iOS 12 platform is still in beta, we cannot expect anything final and official to be launched. But we do hope things will get updated for when iOS 12 goes live to the public later this year.

iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Tool Electra – An Update After the Exploit Release

The jailbreaking community has been impatiently waiting for another update about the Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool. From the news that we have gathered so far, we know by now that Electra for iOS 11.3.1 is bound to happen. This is due to the latest Ian Beer exploit, a confirmed public release and we know of this from CoolStar as well.

According to the latest posts from CoolStar, all the needed components to update Electra already exist and at the moment he is working on renovating the tool. CoolStar has also confirmed that all the important pieces for the jailbreak have been put together and now he just has to put them all in the right place, while making sure that Electra will be able to perform in an efficient way. The jailbreak tool has to sustain all supported devices and firmware editions.

However, it is important to remember that CoolStar will work for now on creating a jailbreak tool for individuals who have a paid Apple Developer account. For the moment, these users will be prioritized. So most probably the public will not be able to have access to the iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool.

Nonetheless, this is not to say that users should pay $99 for a paid developer account from Apple. CoolStar actually advised people not to do this and wait for additional information about a public-facing release.

There has been no timeframe provided for the expected release. As you can probably imagine, having all the necessary components of the jailbreak tool is maybe just half of the work. Putting all pieces together, fixing technical glitches and developing something that supports all compatible firmware models and devices requires a lot of hard work. The tool has to be stable and reliable before it is launched to the public.

We will keep you updated if any additional progress is made. We also advise you to have your device prepared on iOS 11.3.1, while Apple is still signing the firmware.

Clash of Clans vs. Clash Royale – Complex Strategies and New Fixes

Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are fairly similar games because they are made by the same developer, but there are some features that make one better than the other. Obviously, there will be many people who compare Clash of Clans with Clash Royale since the two games share the same art style and fun gameplay, but today we are going to find out which one is actually better.

Community Speaks Out

The first thing we checked out when trying to find out which game is better was to ask the gaming community. All comments sounded the same because everyone talked about how they got hooked to Clash of Clans and played lots of hours, but then quickly changed to Clash Royale after finding out what it has to offer.

Therefore, most gamers who tried both games are saying that Clash Royale has the upper hand, especially since a full base can be created quickly in Clash of Clans and players don’t have anything else to do.

Complex Strategies

The most important reason why Clash Royale has an edge over Clash of Clans is because Clash Royale’s gameplay is a little bit more complex. Clash Royale is basically a card game and there are endless card combinations that players can think of in order to defeat their enemies. Not just that but coming up with new combat strategies will make the difference between average players and great players.

Rest Time

The biggest issue that Clash of Clans has is that it’s been designed to keep players online nonstop. This might be fun at first, but Clash of Clans gets too time consuming and no one likes that. On the other hand, Clash Royale gives players somewhere around four to six hours of rest time while chests are being unlocked.
