Let’s be honest. Everyone reading this article has probably played and grinded Clash of Clans at least once in their lives. I remember I got to town hall level 9 when I was in school and at that time TH10 was the maximum which was then raised to TH level 12. Well, it has been a while since that, and I (and perhaps you too) have missed a lot since then. Supercell has just launched the summer update for COC and I will be going over it for you guys. It looks like a fun update for newcomers, veterans, and casual players alike. So, let’s jump into the battlefield (*cue the startup tone of COC*)!
The Summer Update is live! 🤩

New troops coming to Clash of Clans
The bony barons of the skies!

The skeleton army grows smarter. They have been able to somehow, create a mechanical dragon. Used correctly, this makeshift dragon could be a powerful defense annihilator, which crashes and bursts into a field of flames once destroyed, dealing AoE damage.

- Targets: Ground & Air
- Housing Space: 25
- Movement Speed: 20
You unlock the Dragon Rider at Town Hall 13 and Barracks to level 15.

The second troop is another skeleton-based aerial troop. This one’s a super troop! The Rocket Balloon, like its name suggests, this balloon has kerosene-powered rockets on its sides which allow it to zoom towards its target at unbelievable speed, until it is greeted with a fiery demise.
