Hey, Chief! Clash Of Clans Just Got A Colossal Update

Muster your troops! The hugely popular and widely acclaimed combat strategy game Clash of Clans has just received another update. And just like the battles that are fought in the game, this new update is epic. Released in August last year, Clash of Clans has received quite a few updates, including one specially issued for Halloween and another for Christmas. To be sure, this new update is not issued for any special occasion, not even for Valentine's Day. But that certainly doesn't make it any less exciting. In fact, this may very well be one of the biggest updates ever to come to Clash and Clans. Clash of Clans' latest update contains several sets of improvements. A couple of the more notable sets are the new unit upgrade set and the new air defense set. Provided your laboratory has reached level six, new upgrades are in order for barbarians, archers, giants, and balloons. Specifically, barbarians get sharper swords and horned helmets, archers get new bow techniques and tiaras, giants get "heartier and hairier than ever," and balloons get "pimped out with spikes and the Jolly Roger." If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here. As for the game's new air defense, new traps called Air Bomb and Seeking Air Mine are now at your disposal for disposing of airborne attackers. To see this double whammy of explosion and destruction, watch the gameplay video above. Still on the subject of air defense, level seven air defense turrets can now also blast even the meanest of dragons into smithereens. In addition, the level 11 archer tower can turn enemy balloons into puny pincushions. Check out the laundry list below for the other improvements brought by the latest update to Clash of Clans:
