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! 🤩
