Clash of Clans unveil upcoming enhancements in the February 2024 update including a new spell in Overgrowth Spell, upgraded Siege Machine levels, a revamped Chat User Interface (UI), the return of the progression bar, and more features which I will discuss in this article.
Clash of Clans Upcoming February 2024 Update: All new features explained
New Spell: Overgrowth
Finally, after a long wait, a new spell has been added. The Overgrowth Spell, unlocked at Town Hall level 12 in Clash of Clans when upgrading your Dark Spell Factory to level 6, introduces exciting new strategic possibilities. When activated, this spell causes enemy defenses to become invisible, invulnerable, and frozen for a set period. As a result, attacking troops will disregard affected buildings and defenses.
Although targeting both Ground and Air, It’s important to note that the Overgrowth Spell doesn’t impact heroes or troops housed in the Clan Castle, nor does it prevent Clan Castle troops from deploying. Additionally, upon expiration, the spell leaves behind small debris pieces, which defending players can clear by tapping them, akin to tombstones left by fallen units.
| Level | Upgrade Cost | Upgrade Time | Spell Duration | TH Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/A | N/A | 22s | 12 |
| 2 | 125K DE | 10d | 24s | 12 |
| 3 | 250K DE | 12d | 26s | 14 |
| 4 | 350K DE | 16d | 28s | 16 |
New Hero Equipment
Before mentioning this part, we will have a feature where we can use Elixir for the upgrading of Blacksmith for your Hero Equipment. I remember expressing disappointment when the Hero Equipment was announced in the December 2023 update. But finally, Royal Champion is getting new gears to equip.
The first one to be introduced is the Hog Rider Doll unlocked at Blacksmith Level 7. This addition summons a squad of Hog Riders to bolster your forces in battle. The second is the Haste Vial, available at Blacksmith Level 8. This potent elixir provides a temporary boost to both movement and attack speed, allowing you to maneuver swiftly and strike with unprecedented agility on the battlefield.
New Building Levels
More new levels are going to be introduced, surely to bring more to the table for the Town Hall Level 16. Here is a quick overview below of the new levels.
New Collector Levels
All three home village collectors are getting an extra upgrade level.
| Building | Level | Upgrade Cost | Upgrade Time | HP | Production Rate | Capacity | TH Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elixir Collector | 16 | 2M Gold | 4d | 1350 | 7000/hr | 385K | 14 |
| Gold Mine | 16 | 2M Elixir | 4d | 1350 | 7000/hr | 385K | 14 |
| Dark Elixir Drill | 10 | 6M Elixir | 8d | 1550 | 180/hr | 4200 | 14 |
Other Building Levels
| Building | Level | Upgrade Cost | Upgrade Time | HP | DPS | TH Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Spell Factory | 6 | 5M Elixir | 8d | 950 | N/A | 12 |
| Hidden Tesla | 15 | 20M Gold | 14d | 1550 | 170 | 16 |
| Inferno Tower | 10 | 22M Gold | 14d 12h | 4400 | 120/2600 | 16 |
| Scattershot | 5 | 22.5M Gold | 15d | 5410 | 190 | 16 |
| Seeking Air Mine | 6 | 14M Gold | 12d 12h | N/A | 3000 | 16 |
New Troop Levels
A few of the troops are getting the much-needed upgrades. Siege Machines are also set to receive new levels. Siege Barracks and Log Launcher are set to receive new upgrades, with both reaching Level 5. Both of these are pretty popular, and a new level can help increase the firepower they already have.
| Troop | Level | Upgrade Cost | Upgrade Time | HP | DPS | TH Level | Lab Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minion | 12 | 320K DE | 14d | 120 | 78 | 16 | 14 |
| Hog Rider | 13 | 350K DE | 14d 12h | 1380 | 213 | 16 | 14 |
| Bowler | 8 | 350K DE | 15d | 600 | 126 | 16 | 14 |
| Baby Dragon | 10 | 20M Elixir | 15d | 2100 | 165 | 16 | 14 |
| Siege Barracks | 5 | 18M Elixir | 12d | 4800 | + 1 PEKKA | 16 | 14 |
| Log Launcher | 5 | 18M Elixir | 12d | 5500 | 220 | 16 | 14 |
New Electro Owl (Pet) Levels
The pet gets five new levels of upgrades recieved.
| Level | Upgrade Cost | Upgrade Time | HP | DPS | TH Level | Pet House Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 230K DE | 8d | 2600 | 150 | 16 | 9 |
| 12 | 250K DE | 8d | 2700 | 155 | 16 | 9 |
| 13 | 265K DE | 8d | 2800 | 160 | 16 | 9 |
| 14 | 285K DE | 8d | 2900 | 165 | 16 | 9 |
| 15 | 300K DE | 8d | 3000 | 170 | 16 | 9 |
Progression Bar returns
Another important feature coming is the Progression Bar, making its return. So, speaking about the progression bar, it helped indicate how close troops, buildings, or heroes were to reaching their maximum level. For example, a level 10 Barbarian King dealing 100 damage would fill half the bar, indicating a maximum potential of 200 damage. This visual aid helped players prioritize upgrades effectively.
Currently, we can only see a simple numeric increase when upgrading in a block system, making it harder to assess which upgrades are most beneficial. I say the new one isn’t bad, eats less space, and is simple but isn’t very informative or appealing. Hence, we will be returning these bars soon, and thus a feature loved by many will remain permanent.
Clan Chat UI
Another important update is the Chat UI. Well, I would have liked this to be implemented long back but it is never too late for changes. Leaders and co-leaders can now pin important messages at the top, with an exclusive tab for easy access. You can also react to messages with emojis and see how others are reacting. If you ask me, this is kinda a mini-social media for me. Not that I’m complaining tho.
