The February 2025 update is here!

Posted: Monday 10 February 2025

The February 2025 update for Clash of Clans adds Multi-Gear Tower defense, Troop Launcher Siege Machine, Metal Pants equipment, Alchemist, training time reductions, adjustments to Hard Mode and a number of QoL changes.

Multi-Gear Tower

At TH17, it will be possible to merge the Geared Up Cannon and Geared Up Archer Tower to form the Multi-Gear Tower. This is a powerful, single target defense that can be toggled between two modes:

Archer Tower Mode: Long range and medium attack speed
Cannon Mode: Medium range and high attack speed

There are 2 levels available.

Keep in mind, this means some Builder Base progression will be required to gear up your Cannon and Archer Tower (BH6) and the Multi-Gear Tower will be required for upgrading to TH18.

Troop Launcher Siege Machine

This is a new immobile Siege Machine unlocked at TH16 that launches barrels of reinforcements at your already deployed troops in battle.

The Troop Launcher cannot move and remains where it is deployed.
Each barrel contains multiple troops plus 1 Clan Castle troop.
It has a limited number of barrels and lifespan based on its level.

Each barrel contains:

1 CC troop (in order of lowest to highest housing)
1 Giant
2 Barbarians
3-4 Archers
1-2 Wall Breakers

The level of these troops will depend on the level of the Troop Launcher.

Uses healer AI to target your own troops for the launch target
HP decays over time (similar to the Siege Barracks + Flame Flinger)
If destroyed, the remaining barrels are not deployed.
Unlocked once the Workshop has been upgraded to level 8 (at TH16)

New Levels

New building levels have been added. These are for TH17 unless otherwise specified:

Multi-Gear Tower Lvl 1-2
X-Bow Lvl 12
Scattershot Lvl 6
Workshop Lvl 8 (TH16)
Hidden Tesla Lvl 16
Mortar Lvl 17

At TH17, an additional 75 wall pieces can be upgraded to level 18 bringing the total to 175.

New Troop/Spell Levels:

Archer Lvl 13
Healer Lvl 10
P.E.K.K.A Lvl 12
Miner Lvl 11
Bower Lvl 9
Troop Launcher Lvl 1-3 (TH16) 4 (TH17)

New Supercharge Levels

Once these buildings have been upgraded to the new max level, it will be possible to Supercharge them.

Hidden Tesla
X-Bow
Scattershot
Mortar

As these buildings previously had Supercharge levels, those Supercharge levels will be removed.

Metal Pants

This is a new common equipment for the Minion Prince. When activated, a protective barrier reduces the incoming damage.

Alchemist

Available at TH11 and up, the Alchemist can be permanently recruited for your village with Gems.
She enables you to immediately convert one resource to another, once every 23 hours.
Upgrading the Alchemist increases the amount she can convert at a time as well as increases the bonus resource amount.
You don’t need to convert the full amount each time, the input quantity is controlled via a slider.

Training Time Reductions

A number of troops have had their training times reduced. These times are for a single troop without any training boosts and assume the Barracks is not upgrading.

Total time and costs for the new levels

Total time and costs for a max TH16 to max TH17

Assumes no Gold Pass boosts and no Magic Item usage. If you purchase the Gold Pass and have magic items to use, it will be considerably shorter/cheaper

Wall Tools

When selecting walls to upgrade, you can choose to select additional adjacent walls. This is useful for upgrading multiple walls at the same time when selecting the entire row is too many.

Equipment for League Medals

It is possible to purchase equipment using League Medals. They cost 750 each and initially the Giant Gauntlet and Frozen Arrow will be available.

Resource Changes

A number of resource related changes are coming:

The Gem cost of purchasing resources has been reduced which will also affect resource related Magic Items (League Shop too)
Resource storage buildings for TH14 and above have had their capacity increased
There have been cost and time reductions for building upgrades that have multiple upgrades at the same TH level

Hard Mode Changes

Hard more now applies the following modifiers:

Defending Heroes now have +20% more HP and DPS
Defense buildings +20% more DPS
Attacking Heroes -10% HP and DPS
Common Equipment capped at lvl 15 and Epic equipment at lvl 21

QoL

Removing Obstacles no longer requires a Builder.
Forge Jobs can now be cancelled.
When enabling Scout Mode in Village Edit Mode, the Tactical Overview will also be enabled.
In addition to Skins that can be purchased with Gems, the Choose Skin Screen will now also show Skins that can be bought with Real Money and League Medals.
Defending Clan Capital troops for Friendly Challenges and Legend League can now be set freely, and does no longer rely on the troops that are currently in your Clan Castle. Defending Troops are subjected to the limits of the donations you can normally receive, and will be the maximum possible level.

Fixes/other changes

Adjust TH requirement for Archer Queen related Season Challenge tasks from TH9 to TH8.
Adjust TH requirement for finding Archer Queen equipment and skins in chests from TH9 to TH8.
Add new Decos, Skins and Equipment to chest rewards.
Adjust Clan Capital matchmaking for legacy clans who have less Capital upgrades than would be required to reach their CH level. For matchmaking purposes their upgrade count will be floored to the minimum required for their current CH level.
There is a “new” indicator when a new piece of equipment is added to the shop.
Items that players cannot afford aren’t grayed out in the League Medal Shop anymore. Instead the price amount is colored red. Also players not meeting the minimum league limit for an item doesn’t cause graying out.
“Goblin King” character render has been updated.
Added a button in settings to access the Chest drop rates info page.
Added a counter that shows the number of remaining Chests (if it’s not the last one) in the Chest opening screen.
Added haptic feedback to Chest tapping in Chest opening screen.
Destroying Town Hall 17 will now count towards the progress of the "Destroy Eagle Artillery" achievement
