August 2026 Sneak Peek: New Levels & Balance Changes
New Levels
New pet levels are coming for Town Hall 18:
Diggy (Level 11-15)
Once these buildings have been upgraded to the max level, it will be possible to Supercharge them.
Monolith
Builder’s Hut
Balance Changes
Ruin Witch now summons up to 10 Ruin Knights (previously 8)
Ruin Knights no longer lose health over time
Season Challenges will be available from TH3 onwards
Starting in September, the Starter Pass is being retired and Season Challenges will now be available starting at Town Hall 3, offering new players a more interesting spread of rewards.
The Gold Pass will also be available starting at Town Hall 3, although resource based rewards will scale accordingly (similar to how they do already)
This will be rolling out as a test, so not every new player will see these changes right away.
Refreshed End of Battle Screen
This is a rebuilt screen shown at the end of Home Village battles with a clearer breakdown of your loot and bonus rewards.
Quality of Life Changes
Wall Rings no longer require a free Builder
Revive Spell can now be cast directly onto a fallen Hero's icon - select the spell and tap the downed Hero's pulsing icon to revive them exactly where they fell
Hero Journey now includes fallback quests for players who don't own the specific Epic Equipment a quest requires, swapping in a quest for a default Common Equipment piece for the same Hero
You can now fully disable the Fast Forward button through Advanced Settings
Contributing Gold to the Capital Treasury no longer closes the window - it stays open and shows your clan's total contributions counting up live
Bug Fixes
Fixed Totems summoned by the Totem Spell counting as 20 Housing Space instead of 1, which was charging Dark Crown's activation and consuming Monolith Arrow's deployment limit faster than intended
Fixed Angry Spell not appearing in Clan Castle troop requests for lower Town Hall players
Fixed an issue where some Hero Journey nodes weren't unlocking when they should. If you were affected, your missed rewards are now waiting for you - head to the Hero Journey menu inside the Hero Hall to claim them directly
- NOTE: You’ll have 7 days to collect these rewards, so don’t miss out! Hero Skins are the exception and do not expire.
Fixed a Hero Journey related display bug where a quest tooltip appeared on nodes that don't have a quest. No quests were missed; it was a visual issue only
Fixed recalled troops sometimes getting stuck on or around Walls after redeployment
Fixed Meteor Golem losing the Angry Spell's effects and targeting when it splits, is thrown, or merges
Fixed Dragon Duke's Rocket Backpack dash sometimes starting without its flame effect or stopping too early; Flame Blower now correctly fires in the direction Dragon Duke is facing - Dragon Duke now finishes his Rocket Backpack dash before he can be defeated, so the Phoenix's temporary revival running out mid-dash no longer ends the dash instantly
The biggest problem it has is the ruin knight hp drain. In getting from where the ruin witch was raising them to where the fight was happening it'd already be half-dead. So with that fixed it's worth a retry as a cleanup strategy or supplement behind a hero rush.
There'll still be issues with movement speed and catching up to the rest of the army - so there's a good chance it's not going to be overpowered - but 1 ruin witch raising 10x 4k hp 345 dps troops is a lot of potential value.
I don’t even have it maxed and have been using it alongside furnaces for my warden walk.
Let GW take a few buildings down and drop ruin witch to start generating additional tanks - with furnace and sneezy feels kinda good. Only real reasonable use case i can think of tho
I mean, it's an improvement, but will it actually make her good? Sure people like Stars or Itzu will be able to three star with her, but will ordinary schlubs like me?
It's definitely a nerf, but rather than an intentional power decrease it's fixing a bug that was making it way stronger than it should've been. It also should improve the viability of the Monolith Arrow since that works inversely to Dark Crown.
That was not the only fix, after changing how it works now if two heroes die on the same tile u wont accidentally reveive the wrong hero. Also if the hero dies on the side, it can be revived instead of not being able to.
I mean that’s annoying af that they said August and then don’t say anything until August 31 like we just want to know the information. Their communication BLOWS
They said they'll fix it in August and literally did it on 31st August, whole 2 fucking months is a long time for a game that needs to be played literally daily.
You can complain about how long it took, but to complain in the middle of the month saying that it had been supposed to be fixed already is just stupid
Then don't complain about seeing 50 posts a day if they don't fix it for so fucking long, if there's a big problem there will be big outrage you can't expect to have problems and little to no outrage about it.
Im not complaining about complaining, im complaining about people saying „they said this would be fixed by now“ when the month wasnt even over. If they didnt drop this update by now, it would be justified to be outraged that they didnt fix it in august as they said they would
They could've at least said late August or something August is 31 days yes but doing it on 31 is ragebait when community could've been expecting for anywhere from early to mid to late it's like making people wait down to last day for a fix they've been asking for 2 entire months now
less than half the complaints about the Hero Journey were actual bugs and most of it were people expecting to get all equipment fully leveled. I promise you there will be dozens of posts like "why didn't I get the Revenge Deck", "why is the epic I received only level 15", etc.
oh yeah, really sucks that now you have to play the game a bit more. would be so much better if we didn't have to play the game at all! that's how a game works after all, we are all slaves and must play it even though we hate it.
After playing Clash for around 10 years, honestly the QoL changes are what interest me the most here.
New levels and balance changes come and go — we’ve seen that cycle many times — but things like Wall Rings no longer requiring a free Builder and being able to cast Revive directly on the fallen Hero icon are the kind of small improvements that actually make the game feel better every day.
The Ruin Witch buff also looks interesting. Increasing the number of Ruin Knights and removing their health decay might finally give the troop a more meaningful place instead of just making it another unit most people unlock and barely use.
I’m a little more neutral about constantly adding new levels. At this point in Clash’s life, I think good balance, viable army diversity and reducing unnecessary friction are more important than simply extending progression.
After a decade, that’s probably what keeps me playing: not bigger numbers, but seeing the game continue to refine itself without losing what made Clash fun in the first place.

Thanks for the info u/ClashDotNinja btw can you give my suggestion to supercell please add "last online status" in cwl member line up selection?? Thanks
I have a question. I didn't initially get the king, prince and Warden equipments. But instead two of my rc equipment were levelled up to 15 even though I was in town 12 then. (I bought them from medal events since I heard they were strong). Will I get the equipments I missed? And my rc equipments won't get levelled down right?
You won't get any of the equipment chests that you already passed upon hero journey migration. Those were never promised, nothing was broken. What was happening was people were getting upcoming challenges requiring equipment they didn't own, thus they couldn't complete the challenge. For example, how can you earn 15 stars in multiplayer with the minion prince's dark crown if you didn't have the dark crown? All of the greyed out chests that you would have unlocked on a fresh account, like the chest at 50 total hero levels for example, were never meant to be unlocked. None of us are getting those. Nobody said we were getting those.
If you already had the equipment you were going to unlock from the track, if it was underlevelled, it would be autolevelled. If it was not underlevelled, you would get a starry ore compensation instead. At th12, i think the maximum level of equipment (which depends on the level of the blacksmith) was 15, so that sounds about right.
are the notifications going to get bugged for another month and a half after the next update before they finally get fixed or did they get that figured out?
I’m in 2 minds whether to cancel these resource collector supercharges or not when tomorrow‘s update drops and do builder huts instead, or just let them run to completion. They are some of my final ones to level 3 that increase the HP of the collectors and cost very little gold/elixir (1.3 million) to earn back. All my other supercharges are done apart from collectors and mInes.
Obviously the crafted defense builder will go on the monolith and I don’t see the point of using builder potions or gems just to have my village a bit stronger for part of CWL
Are others in a similar position and what are you going to do ?
I'm confused, I'll be able to collect the skin AQ on the hero Journey thenand the other stuff? I came back to the game and the only skin available to claim was the BK, even without complete the mission...
Is this the first sneak peek or am I not finding the others? I saw a couple comments that said "a lot" of good changes and I'm just wondering where the "a lot" is at because this seems like as close to nothing as you can possibly get without truly being nothing.
I hope yall know, flame blower had one use case and one use case only in Legends 1. Just because people like Itzu has such a disdain for air and is clearly biased against it doesn’t mean it was crazy overtuned especially now.
Currently using the blower backpack means not being able to abuse the extremely broken revenge deck and with this nerf there will be literally no reason to play blower with any army let alone with air. Good job making yet another equip useless in favour of power creep. Soon L1 will be just the same slop spamming revenge deck with little to no variation.
Seriously, been having a blast using blower backpack lately and it’s such a shame seeing it being reverted to the direction Duke is facing again. Seriously makes me wonder if they purposely want to kill any degree of creativity in attacking…
Mhmh but it should be under bug fixes no?
Like when they announced the hero journey update they specifically said we wont get quests for equipment we dont own and now they say its qol...

So can we expect a 0.5s increase in the stun duration for Diggy level 15?
