Clash of Clans?is all set and ready to introduce some new features to us with a new update, while we await the month of February 2025 to be a blockbuster. We have plenty to discuss about this new update, as at the time of writing, we have two parts shared. So let me dig into the details for you and explain what new things we’ll be getting with this update.
Currently, I have two sneak peeks for the Clash of Clans February 2025 update. From this, we can see the update introduces several new level upgrades for troops, spells, and buildings, along with a brand-new defense and a unique siege machine.
New Defense: Multi-Gear Tower
The?Multi-Gear Tower?is a newly merged defense that combines the?Geared-Up Archer Tower?and?Geared-Up Cannon?into a single, versatile structure. Unlike previously merged defenses such as the?Ricochet Cannon?or?Multi-Archer Tower, this new defense requires progress in the?Builder Base?to unlock.

You must be at?Town Hall 17?and merge a?Geared-Up Cannon?and a?Geared-Up Archer Tower?both at max level 21 to construct it. Once built, the?Multi-Gear Tower?offers two attack modes:?Archer Tower (Long Range) Mode, which has a range of 12 tiles and a medium attack speed, and?Cannon (Fast Attack) Mode, which has a shorter 8-tile range but fires rapidly with burst damage.
While Archer Tower Mode provides broader coverage,?Cannon Mode?excels against high-HP troops. Both modes can target ground and air units. However, unlike other defenses, the?Multi-Gear Tower?cannot be Supercharged.
New Siege Machine: Troop Launcher
You can draw a comparison of this with a?Super Card?in?Clash Royale, as we have a?Barbarian?launching Mortar there. The?Troop Launcher?is a new stationary Siege Machine introduced at?Town Hall 16, unlocked by upgrading the Workshop to Level 8. Unlike other siege units, the Troop Launcher does not move but compensates with unlimited range, allowing it to support allies from a safe distance.

As I mentioned, it launches barrels filled with troops, each containing one Clan Castle troop, one?Giant, and a mix of?Barbarians, Archers, and?Wall Breakers, with the number of troops scaling based on its level. It functions similarly to the?Siege Barracks, gradually losing HP over time, and if destroyed before all barrels are deployed, the remaining ones will not be launched.
Minion Prince New Equipment: Metal Pants
The?Minion Prince?is getting a brand-new?Common Hero Equipment?called?Metal Pants. This defensive gear creates a protective barrier that absorbs a percentage of incoming damage while active. Additionally, it provides a healing effect and an increase in?max HP?when used.

This equipment can be unlocked at?Blacksmith?level 3 at?Town Hall 10?and has the following stats:
| Level | Blacksmith Level | Hitpoints | Health Recovery | Duration (sec) | Incoming Damage Reduction (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 350 | 1600 | 9 | 46 |
| 2 | 3 | 400 | 1675 | 9 | 46 |
| 3 | 3 | 450 | 1750 | 10 | 50 |
| 4 | 3 | 500 | 1800 | 10 | 50 |
| 5 | 3 | 550 | 1850 | 10 | 50 |
| 6 | 3 | 600 | 1900 | 11 | 54 |
| 7 | 3 | 650 | 1950 | 11 | 54 |
| 8 | 3 | 700 | 2000 | 11 | 54 |
| 9 | 3 | 750 | 2050 | 12 | 58 |
| 10 | 3 | 800 | 2100 | 12 | 58 |
| 11 | 3 | 850 | 2150 | 12 | 58 |
| 12 | 3 | 900 | 2200 | 13 | 62 |
| 13 | 5 | 950 | 2250 | 13 | 62 |
| 14 | 5 | 1000 | 2300 | 13 | 62 |
| 15 | 5 | 1050 | 2350 | 14 | 66 |
| 16 | 7 | 1100 | 2400 | 14 | 66 |
| 17 | 7 | 1150 | 2450 | 14 | 66 |
| 18 | 7 | 1200 | 2500 | 15 | 70 |
New Helper: The Alchemist
A brand-new?Helper,?The Alchemist, joins the?Helper Hut at Town Hall 11. This character converts resources from one type to another once per day. She can be unlocked for?100 Gems?and has a cooldown of?23 hours?before being used again.

Once activated, players can select?Gold, Elixir, or?Dark Elixir?to convert into another resource type, with a sliding scale to adjust the conversion amount. Higher-level Alchemists can convert more resources and gain better bonuses. Stats for the same are listed below.
| Level | TH Level | Gems | Max Gold/Elixir per Day | Max DE per Day | Resource Input Increase | Conversion Rate | Conversion Rate Increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 11 | 100 | 1,500,000 | 10,000 | – | 1.01 | – |
| 2 | 12 | 250 | 2,250,000 | 15,000 | 50% | 1.02 | 1.00% |
| 3 | 13 | 500 | 3,000,000 | 20,000 | 33% | 1.04 | 2.00% |
| 4 | 14 | 1,000 | 4,500,000 | 30,000 | 50% | 1.05 | 1.00% |
| 5 | 15 | 1,000 | 6,000,000 | 40,000 | 33% | 1.07 | 2.00% |
| 6 | 16 | 1,500 | 7,500,000 | 50,000 | 25% | 1.09 | 2.00% |
| 7 | 17 | 1,500 | 10,500,000 | 70,000 | 40% | 1.10 | 1.00% |
The conversion process is instant, but an animation follows for one hour, during which The Alchemist enters cooldown mode. Players cannot overflow their storage when converting resources; a warning will appear if this happens.
New Feature: Wall Tools
Upgrading Walls has always been a hassle, but this update makes things much easier with the new?Wall Tools?feature. Now, you can select multiple Walls of the same level and upgrade them all at once instead of doing it one by one.

There’s also a new?Upgrade More?button that lets you quickly select Walls in groups of 10 for batch upgrades, saving time and effort. Plus, placing newly unlocked Walls is now free, so you won’t have to worry about extra costs. I see these changes make base progression much smoother, especially at higher Town Hall levels, where Walls are usually a major grind.
New Levels
Several troops, spells, and buildings are getting level upgrades to enhance their power. The following upgrades are part of the latest update:
Spells
| Spell | New Level |

| Haste Spell | 6 |
| Poison Spell | 11 |

Additionally, some defenses are getting?Supercharged versions?for enhanced performance:

| X-Bow | 1-2 |
| Hidden Tesla | 1-2 |
| Scattershot | 1-2 |
| Mortar | 1-2 |
You can now also upgrade 75 additional walls to Level 18, increasing the limit from 100 to 175 upgraded walls.
Balance Adjustments for Equipment and Hard Mode
This update brings several balance changes, particularly for?Hard Mode?and Equipment limitations. Defending Heroes now receive?+20% HP?and?DPS?since they lack Equipment, while?Defense Buildings?deal +20% more DPS to strengthen base defenses.
On the attacking side, Heroes now have?-10% HP?and?DPS?to keep battles balanced. Additionally, Equipment caps have been adjusted, limiting?Common Equipment to level 15?and?Epic Equipment to level 21. These changes aim to make defensive play more impactful while ensuring attack strategies remain challenging.
Resource and Economy Adjustments
Several improvements have been made to resource management and in-game purchases.?Gem?prices for resources in the?Trader Shop?and?Clan War League Shop?have been reduced, making purchases more affordable. Storage capacity increases for?Town Hall 14+?allowing players to stockpile more?Gold, Elixir, and?Dark Elixir.
Additionally, chest rewards from?Town Hall 12?onwards now provide more resources and upgrade costs for certain buildings and traps have been lowered to speed up progression. At?Town Hall 17, the maximum storage capacity has been raised to?28 million Gold?and?Elixir?and?460,000 Dark Elixir, making it easier to save up for major upgrades.
Bug Fixes and QoL Improvements
This update also includes multiple bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. Clan Capital Battles will no longer end early when using a?Graveyard Spell, and?Phoenix’s Egg?will no longer get stuck in Walls. Legendary Scenery camera scrolling issues have been fixed, and defending Clan Castle troops can now be freely set for?Friendly Challenges?and?Legend League, removing the need to request them. Troop training times have also been reduced for units like?Dragons, Minions, Valkyries, Lava Hounds, Yetis, and more.
Additional UI improvements include:
- New Hero Equipment?can now be purchased using League Medals.
- Chest rewards now feature new?Equipment, Skins, and Decorations.
