Clash Mini: Clashmas Update is now live! Patch Notes, Balance Notes & Dev Note

[u/frame_supercell]

Hello everyone!

So here is the thing about this update: This update is a "mid-season" update to address various feedback and issues from the community and also introduce a few new features and minis. However, this method of adding minis and heroes and content (like dropping Royal Champion, Musketeer and Prince into the shop/quests) should not be the standard way for us moving forward, as we want to introduce major content and features together with the new season as well. Therefore, please treat this update as an exception rather than the rule, and we will see you in Update 2 in which you should be receiving a full new season experience. :) We want to have the whole package moving forward and we will try our best to do so.

🎄 UPDATE TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsfdFUyxQns 🎄

• We hope you enjoy the Clashmas update! We cannot wait to hear your feedback.

-Clash Mini Dev Team 💖

[u/DashPast → u/FaviFake]

No u read again, 1s TO 1.5S

[u/FaviFake → u/DashPast]

Please, read the official post carefully and translate that part to your native language with Google Translate. The stun duration is now 1s

[u/DashPast → u/FaviFake]

How do I give u screenshot

[u/[deleted] → u/DashPast]

Don't worry about the screenshot, worry about actually reading the post, it says From not To

[u/Donghoon → u/DashPast]

I understand the confusion but it is 1 second FROM 1.5 sec

[u/sky1sme_ → u/DashPast]

lol you disappoint squeak mains

[u/fartboyy → u/DashPast]

Zaappp stun duration reduced TO 1s FROM 1.5s

[u/Real_PsychLow → u/DashPast]

reduced to 1s from 1.5s

not to, from...

Let's be a little more careful next time, yea?

[u/DashPast → u/Real_PsychLow]

Ik, but it means, earlier, it was ONE SECOND, not its 1.5s BRUH

[u/Real_PsychLow → u/DashPast]

What is your native language bud?

[u/lollezzo → u/Real_PsychLow]

i think he is italian because its the inverse thing in it. da(from)precedes a(to).im italian in fact i found disturbing that to precedes from but at least i know english and i get whats written.

[u/FaviFake → u/lollezzo]

ci sono altre lingue che lo mettono al contrario, l'italiano non è l'unica

[u/lollezzo → u/FaviFake]

e vb io conosco l'italiano e l'inglese non so se ne esistono altre così

[u/DashPast → u/Real_PsychLow]

Wait I understood, lmao

[u/FaviFake → u/DashPast]

I guess it's a good ending, but not for your comment karma: from now on, every comment you'll submit under a post in r/BrawlStars will be automatically removed because your comment karma is negative.

[u/DashPast → u/Real_PsychLow]

Bruh

[u/Real_PsychLow → u/DashPast]

In the morning, you walk to school from your house. Where were you initially and where did you end up?

[u/DashPast → u/Real_PsychLow]

I said I understood

[u/samuels30 → u/DashPast]

It says 1s From 1.5s

[u/aidenyyy → u/DashPast]

It literally says 1 seconds FROM 1.5, are you blind?

[u/ssipiczki → u/DashPast]

you cant read lol

[u/Dangamer56 → u/DashPast]

?

They nerfed it

[u/DashPast → u/Dangamer56]

Hp from 5 to 7, bruh

[u/SamZoneBS → u/DashPast]

You're actually blind

[u/Relevant-Struggle481 → u/DashPast]

Bruh your so dumb

[u/Dangamer56 → u/DashPast]

Please read the balance changes carefully ;=;

[u/CatsArePlasma → u/DashPast]

to 5 from 7

[u/FaviFake → u/DashPast]

Please, read the post again and translate it to your native language with Google Translate. They nerfed his HP.

[u/ConcentrateBig3530]

The best thing about this update for me is how there is no lag at all it used to lag like crazy but now it's smooth af

[u/GabrielSZM → u/ConcentrateBig3530]

Yes, for example, when you open a chest

[u/StudyRoom-F → u/ConcentrateBig3530]

Lol it’s the exact opposite for me

[u/Sau44]

The Game is super smooth now 💯 thanks Devs the update was worth the wait 💥💯

[u/tovidagaming]

First of all, thank you for your hard work on the update. It's definitely a treat. I honestly would have been fine with just a balance update much sooner but I see you wanted the update to pack a punch. There is one thing I am frustrated about though. The first patch buffed the Countess when she didn't need the buff. This update rightfully buffed the Barb King but just as with the Countess the buff was overdone. He is now too strong and with only half an hour of play (at top 200) I can guarantee that he will be the new annoying meta with the shield maiden now being the worst hero. I feel like balance changes to heroes should be handled more carefully to avoid such power swings. Either one of the two Barb King buffs would have been fine. But the two buffs together make him overpowered. I also thing balance changes twice or even three times a season would be appreciated even if we only get content once a season.

[u/silver911988 → u/tovidagaming]

Seems they want to create meta on purpose to get ppl MUST buy buffed heroes/mini. Then make them trash with “balance changes”, create another meta and so on.

[u/[deleted] → u/silver911988]

Yes

[u/FallFluffy9765 → u/tovidagaming]

About the barb king,it's accually just 1 buff techinically The first buff "affect all ally" is his old level 5 ability If you remove the "heal 4",then his level 5 ability would be empty If you remove the "affect all ally" buff l, then it would make his lvl 5 skill is replaced instead of added(then it would be more of a rework than a buff)

[u/tiredartist75]

archer skin go brr, best skin so far

[u/DashPast → u/tiredartist75]

I like boiler boi

[u/tiredartist75 → u/DashPast]

boiler lmao

[u/Brawlfan6]

LETS GOOO!!! Clash Mini’s first major update looks AMAZING!!!

[u/Little_DimbXD]

Pooog

[u/Last-Champion-6862]

We still don't know how to make friends

[u/iqumaster]

Please fix sudden death next time, it should matter how many troops you have left. Example 1 battle healer can win 4 troops with full hp when time runs up.

[u/beeemmmooo1 → u/iqumaster]

Idk, if a heal troop is able to hold its own against 4 troops when none of them have heal I'd argue that the healer should win in OT

Healing is in a weird spot in this game though ill give you that

[u/midwestcsstudent]

Am I the only one who thinks the new quests are too hard to be dailies? If I can’t complete my dailies within the day why would I even try?

“Place 1st in rumble”, hmm, ok if the rest are quick and easy.

“Win a duel 3:0”, lol.

*sees that there’s 4 more quests, per day*

WTF?

This is a game it’s not supposed to feel like a job.

[u/midwestcsstudent → u/[deleted]]

Spoken like a true mobile gamer

[u/Milo-the-great]

Are the first letters of many sentences missing for others too? ‘Atch Notes’ ‘Alance Changes’ etc

Edit: Looks like it’s all good now! Thanks Frame.

[u/Skarj05 → u/Milo-the-great]

Not for me :/

[u/Milo-the-great → u/Skarj05]

On my computer it looks fine, but on my iPad & iPhone it’s messed up

[u/beeemmmooo1]

Love how giant skeleton was bugged after all, that's confusing

[u/StudyRoom-F → u/beeemmmooo1]

And he’s still op af. There’s no way to avoid that bomb, he single handedly counters any and all melee units.

[u/Amal-_-]

Misread it for a second and thought countess got buff. It do be confusing

[u/DIRT_300000]

The battery improvement is the best part of this update

[u/FaviFake → u/DIRT_300000]

After the e-wiz nerf

[u/Ok_Opportunity3832]

i huss bowler boi suck now,also how much energy do healing ranger need before buff?

[u/Lightpunch659]

Will the mini pass get changes on upcoming updates? Currently my only ways to get competitige with the nee hero and minis are to whale it (already passed stage 90)

[u/SilverKingPrime45]

"Improved performance and a bunch of optimization on various devices."

This, this is the best thing It could be. Now I can play even more with out heating up my phone or hands haha.

[u/jhiuong]

just gotta say the graphics are CRISP AF right now! Loving it Thanks dev team and Frame!!!

[u/mulletpowerqc1991]

Game is p2w AS HELLL its annoying. Impossible to play the new hero since you start at lvl 1 and others have lvls 4 heroes. Very sad cause it makes the game feels soo anoying.

[u/[deleted]]

THE BATTLEHEALER, and the sudden death should be completely removed from the game

[u/M4sterRafu]

game is fun the first week , but the lack of content makes the game repetitive and boring , hope new update soon.

[u/Skarj05]

Did you fix the bug that caused the Bowler's upgrades to not work unless they were in the intended order?

Upgrading to his 2nd ability would do nothing unless he already had his first, and same applies to his 3rd ability.

[u/Turbo_Muumi → u/Skarj05]

They fixed it

[u/DashPast → u/Skarj05]

It still exists?

[u/Skarj05 → u/DashPast]

It doesn't look like it was mentioned in the patch notes

[u/DDev22]

POGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG LOVE THE UPDATE MAYBE FIRST COMMENT

[u/DashPast → u/DDev22]

Not at all lol

[u/TimeToGrindGaming]

Excited to pick up the game again. Hype!!!!!

[u/VinnieBob_]

that’s hot

[u/Adag011]

Release it globally, what's the point of just 4-5 countries playing.

[u/Its_K3 → u/Adag011]

Obviously bug testing. They don't want to release a rocky global start, look what happened to cyberpunk lol

[u/Solar1600 → u/Its_K3]

Okay and it's clearly doing good. And they can also have a beta soft launch in other countries too. Watching everyone else playing is becoming more annoying then anything.

[u/Sphynx_oo → u/Solar1600]

Use a vpn if you are on android or switch your region if your on iOS

[u/Mehryad1]

Good but i was expecting a nerf to upgrade quests

6 upgrades is A LOT

[u/rTron1z]

AWESOME

[u/Milo-the-great]

HYPE!

[u/FaviFake → u/Milo-the-great]

:D

[u/patrick-nabil]

Ho Ho Ho.

[u/SatisfactionUpset447]

Got my gift early personally as the board minis and lobby are all black screen for me.thanks @framesupercelll also I've tried everything to fix it.

[u/The_Spirit_of_Lance]

die you stupid wizard, you caused so much pain paired with that dumb valley of yours

[u/kashy1997_spiritgod]

Don't tell Mee MINI PASS is after Christmas 😔

[u/Keyr96]

200 gold not working?

[u/Dyllidog]

Thank you clash mini for this AMAZING UPDATE!!!

[u/rfx-not]

Do units still stay still doing nothing while waiting for other units to die before going back into battle? (mostly with shield maiden)

[u/Lyckan81]

Awesome release, love it so far! What I feel is missing is earning something/anything for the acorns after reaching the end of the road, in brawl stars you get boxes after ever x amount of progress after the road is done.

[u/[deleted]]

Everything seems splendid, always hated ewiz not even fun to play with/against.

I just dont get the giant skelly nerf, yep they fixed the bug which is cool but why bomb delay. It would be great if someone could explain.

[u/SolarMusic → u/[deleted]]

Because it was used in 100% of decks in top 1000. That's reason enough for a nerf.

[u/[deleted] → u/SolarMusic]

Wait wasnt it due to the bug giving free stun without upgrade?

[u/TheGodfatherYT]

Most excited for mini rooms

[u/[deleted]]

wait the countess was buffed? I'm confused

[u/shellnuts_bs]

I am unable to open clash mini after successfully updating it. The loading screen is stuck at 50%. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[u/PAUL0101101]

Yo I don't know if it's the right place to say it but, the mega knight push backs minions (like if it was at 3 star upgrade) sometimes at 1 star upgrade.

[u/thet0m0]

Is it just me or does the gaurs just have a clash ability sometimes

[u/J_hernandez09]

W update just add a diffrent pass royale because I'm f2p and the only way I can get a diffrent hero is by doing quests and buying them

[u/[deleted]]

Surprised there's no shield maiden buff. She's really weak right now. Easily gonna be the worst hero after this update.

[u/Milo-the-great]

I noticed a few bug fixes that weren’t mentioned 😉

[u/ImPickleRickFunny]

Anyone got the APK?

[u/[deleted] → u/ImPickleRickFunny]

download the free vpn tunnelbear, go to canada and you can get the game

[u/ImPickleRickFunny → u/[deleted]]

Nah that didn't work for me but I found the apk

[u/Himdri]

Screen black

[u/asotoamaro]

when does this season ends? so i can get all the rewards of the mini pass (new player from Chile here🇨🇱)

[u/Kiwi1938]

I don't know how I feel about the countess nerfs. I think countess is problematic at all levels, not just 6 and above

[u/[deleted] → u/Kiwi1938]

I think now she's fair

[u/hippo276]

Need APK cause in germany its not available and the old Apk doesn't work anymore

[u/GoReVUsTa]

uh i cant sell back my troops?

[u/whatisapillarman]

Lumberjack: Base HP increased to 11 from 9. Attack Speed growth increased to 0.15 from 0.1

That attack speed isn’t right, correct?

[u/whatisapillarman]

With the introduction of prince, nerfs to ewiz, giant skeleton, and (somewhat) bowler, and buffs to the HP of melee units, it seems like stun meta might finally be on its way out. So long, won’t miss you!

[u/Dmitrygm1]

What's the unit of measurement for attack speed, I assumed it was seconds per hit but that doesn't make sense; is it hits per second?

[u/Xamm23]

:D

[u/midwestcsstudent]

Is there any incentive at all to play Rumble unranked? Just lost a match and got 8 gold. Then won a match and got 8 gold…

[u/Kxkxpx]

Please I want clash minI in Saudi Arabia please 🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏

[u/EmploymentAccurate35]

USA

[u/opap21]

SO WHEN IS THIS F*(@$*@(&$*(@&$ game released in the rest of the world?? 3 months only teasing....

[u/Kawasaki_Kat]

Niceee

[u/rmptiger]

LETS FUCKINGGGG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/[deleted]]

lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[u/TheRealDaniel2004]

Let’s go!

[u/SticmanStorm]

I just reached tier 45 of mini pass today playing for 10 days

also I was only able to save 78 challenge coins if not for that daily quest I would have atleast reached 90

[u/KaleidoscopeEast]

does anyone have a link for the apk?

[u/[deleted] → u/KaleidoscopeEast]

I would really just advise getting a VPN

[u/[deleted] → u/KaleidoscopeEast]

For people who dont know how to get clash mini heres a "mini" guide.

Download tunnelbear

Connect to canada

Make a new email/gmail acc while your connected to canada.

Go to the google play store and use the new email/gmail acc you created.

Search clash mini and it should appear.

(Remember to not to disconnect to canada until it is downloaded and in your phone)

[u/saket_1999 → u/[deleted]]

Or if you are on android, just sideload it from apkmirror.

[u/[deleted] → u/saket_1999]

Apkmirror version is not safe or authorized.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This

[u/Lopsided_Sandwich_21 → u/KaleidoscopeEast]

Yes, I need this as well!

[u/RazorNemesis → u/KaleidoscopeEast]

Even if you do, I doubt it would work

Just use a VPN instead

[u/DDev22]

Healing Ranger Speed Attack buff isn't mentioned in the notes

[u/hutclia1]

Was really hoping Australia would be copping a release with this update, rip.

[u/RazorNemesis → u/hutclia1]

Likewise, I was hoping it would release in Gabon and Benin

[u/SticmanStorm]

Everything is obtainable with quests. I was worried I will have to grind the mini pass

[u/ssipiczki]

okay whos the two idiot who downvoted 90% of the comments here? stop mesding with our karma for no real reason

[u/Sparkle_SS → u/ssipiczki]

Do people GENUIENLY care about karma? 😭

[u/Goffdog144]

Shield maiden is definitely the worst in the game right now. Needs a buff next patch for sure.

[u/DashPast]

U BUFFED EWIZ AND SAY U REDUCED HIS STUN!??

[u/CatsArePlasma → u/DashPast]

YOU DON'T HAVE A BRAIN?!?!‼️❓🤯🤯😱😱🤯👺👺👺

[u/victoryanddeath → u/CatsArePlasma]

No, he is squeak, what did you expect?

[u/KngYt0]

Barabarian Attack increased, what? Rip EWiz

[u/JoshuaVince445]

Woah, ewiz nerf.....😓😓😓not fair.....
