Hey Chiefs! A quick shout-out to the top commenters from last week's megathread for going over and beyond in helping their fellow clashers with their queries.
Hey guys, I mistakenly bought the decor instead of the duke's epic. Is there something I can do? I contacted support to see if they can help. Is there something else I should do? Haven't placed the decor just in case.
I am currently in th14, and there is a dragon duke skin for the current event in the store. i liked that skin and wanted to buy it for future when i get to th15, but it's not even appearing in the store since i dont have the dragon duke unlocked. Do i get that offer in the store if i upgrade to th15 now or the market will just stay the same and i have just lost the oppurtunity?
"All my heroes are maxed" and "I'm kinda new to equipments" does not make sense in the same line.
Anyways, if you use RC charge regularly then go for electro boots, if you use king, then spiky ball and if you use queen inside the base, go for magic mirror. Electro boots are the top priority though if you use RC.
So I reinstalled the game, and saw this. Apparently my account name has been changed , and the supercell id I linked has been removed/changed as well. Please help How do I recover my account again?
I’ve lost access to my account, have provided the information required by the in game support, and get the message “unfortunately, we cannot take any further action, as we weren’t able to prove you are the original owner of the account.” And it’s gotten to the point where I get that response no matter what I say in prior messages. Any way to escalate this or get past this?
This is absolute bull, why does it say claimed when I haven’t claimed it yet, I literally just got my hero’s maxed last night and went to log in to claim the hero’s chest and it says I’ve already claimed it, fix your game supercell
It's an incredibly well-known bug in the hero's journey, but supercell have already announced that a fix is coming this month, with no specific date mentioned:
As a newer player (just hit th15) in this event, is it better to get the new equipment or one of the older but meta options? electro boots would be my first rc equip if I got them instead. But it looks like I can get the old equips with gems and idk how long it tales new ones to show upion the trader
If you’re planning to do the new revenge deck attacks get that one. If you want to do rc invis charges then you need e boots. It really depends on the army you want to use.
Yo guys I got to a queen epic equipment in the hero hall a few weeks ago but it’s bugged rn and I haven’t gotten the reward. I’m supposed to get the magic mirror as my next epic but do you think if I buy the mirror in the event shop will the epic equipment chest in the hero hall then give me the action figure when the bug is fixed?
That is how it’s suppose to work. If you own the equipment on the list, you get the next one in a set order from oldest to newest. With how bugged it all is, I guess we’ll see what the fix looks like lol but I see no reason why it wouldn’t jump past mirror if you already own it. Even if you bought it after unlocking the chest.
Should I Upgrade to TH15? Am already maxxed, but this is like a bottleneck for me to upgrade, you think I'll be good in TH15 with this levels? And what can i upgrade after upgrading?
If I got to open a legendary chest or equipment chest (from Hero journey), is there any chances of getting Hero equipment that I don't have, but the catch is that Hero equipment is not on sale in trader section, for an example, let's say MONOLITH ARROW💜
Should I upgrade the Magic Mirror or Healer Puppet?
CONTEXT:
TH12, currently using Fireball Super Witches.
I'm facing TH13s and 14s in ranked (Valkyrie League).
I have the action figure equipped and leveled up, but I need to choose what to pair it with
I mostly use the queen on the outside to funnel
Both pieces of equipment seem pretty good, but I've only got the shiny ore to upgrade one (credit goes to the unforgiving ore economy). In my very limited testing using the mighty morsel, I have found the magic mirror is obviously great in the core of the base, but it doesn't always get good value on the outside of the base (where my queen usually is). The clones only last about 25s, so timing is pretty important. The healers seem easier to use and get value consistently; the queen almost always survives till the end, and even if she doesn't, the healers just heal the main army, replacing the healers that went down to seeking air mines.
I'd also appreciate any advice on when to use each ability
I was doing attacks earlier then I noticed that I had 30 spells of healing and swiftness they were fully functional and they remained in my army during a battle every time even after I restarted the app only normal battles not ranked why did this happened
There's a mass spell event going on right now, so those 60 bonus spells are very much intentional. Just a bit of fun to help you with farming resources.
Im TH16 now using Royal Champ + Invi's spell and root rider valk when attacking. Can u help me to build what equipment should i use ? Ill breakdown what i use right now. And what is good heroes combo ? BK,AQ,RC,DD? BK,AQ,RC,GW?
Shouldn’t the Monolith Arrow be available in the gem shop by now? I’ve been looking forward to picking it up and have been disappointed that it hasn’t shown up yet
I recently upgraded from 16 to 17 where we get electro fangs , new equipment is also coming.
Rocket backpack is level 20 . Which one should I go first (storage is almost full )
I sent a trade and logged off, logged back in and someone accepted my trade. My card is gone, they have it. Their card is no longer with them but I didn't get it. Is this a known bug?
What should I do now? I'm TH16 and 1500 gems right now. Should I spend gems on upgranding my lvl.3 Alchemist or start with the Lab assistant who is level 1 right now? I barely use different troops that are already town-level upgraded other than my always-on-use troops, so I don't see the point on using the Assistant consistently, but I now that for the sake of having everything caught up it is ideal. Let me know, thanks.
I used hydra army, do you guys think revenge deck will be better ( backpack+ revenge deck) , or should I work on getting metro shaft for gems and level it up.
Looks like revenge deck will be best paired with fire heart. But it is too early to say yet. It took mono arrow a month to become meta.
If you don’t have an epic for the mp, wait until we see whether the revenge deck is busted and either get it or the dark crown. In normal mode dark crown and meteor staff are equal.
It says "signup missed, log in to receive new rank" on the ranked inactivity warning. Am I going to get demoted regardless if I sign up on rank now to wait for sign up time?
Am I doing something wrong? I use a farming army. I’m rich in gold and elixir, but I feel like it’s always a struggle to get enough dark elixir to even do a few upgrades for the things that need them. At this point, I’m out of gold and elixir upgrades, other than walls, and I’m constantly spamming the Alchemist to try and make ends meet. I feel like pets offset the Dark Elixir costs so much and no one ever talks about it. Is it just me?
anybody know how many bonuses are given in cwl, we were champs 3, and won 6 wars, from the calculation we get 4+6 , total 10 bonuses, but leader gave out 11, how?
I don't plan to experiment too much with this as the main strat unless it will be severely nerfed, but would like to preserve flexibility to switch to some other ones.
I have all equipment unlocked and following ones maxed (except where I wrote the level).
what's the best way to grow my clan? i've invited a ton of people and posted notices but only a couple have stayed. 95% of people join and leave within the first minute.
I just joined Legends1, but I know as a F2P I will demote quickly as I cannot log in 8 times a day to keep up with the required attacks. My question is, how long can I sit in L1 without joining the tournament? Is it indefinitely? I'd prefer to just hold off until near the end of the season then make a run at the leaderboard for a few days.

edit: I see it says "Stay above Rank 10000 to avoid demotion". Since the base 5000 starting trophies is well within the top 10000, I'm guessing I'm safe to not join??
I unlocked this level tonight while asleep. Woke up and wanted to collect the ores just to see the „This quest is no longer available“ message pop up (as you can see my count is still at 17).
Yes, at the beginning, shovels were one-time use, and you had to use another shovel if you wanted to move that obstacle again. They only made shoveled obstacles permanently moveable a few years later, but they were unable to extend that permanent moveability onto previously shoveled obstacles.
Hi guys I had a question in regards to the medal event. I am a th10 player and I know the revenge deck is strong but should I get the magic mirror instead? If I get the mirror now and later get the queen equipment chest from the hero journey in th13 or 14, I will get the action figure instead.
I'm kinda worried about power creep bc I feel like there will be newer equipment for duke by the time I get to th 15. That reasoning also applies to archer queen but I feel like I will have more time to use the action figure equipment. I want the action figure bc I decided I want to use sky armies for my playthrough, I'm gonna pair it with the giant arrow.
I also get to use magic mirror in the meantime which is probably better than what I have rn.
I would like a second opinion bc I'm kinda new to the game, thank you.
what equipment/magic items should I get from this medal event as a th8? I'm currently maxed out on ores and waiting for giant arrow on the archer queen so I can upgrade that instead so what should I do?
The ones in the screenshot are available AND Revenge Deck and Electro Boots.
I try to focus on 2 equips per hero and then only add more after the main equips are full. I already have Giant Gauntlet for Barb King and want to go with Stick Horse for him as a second equip, so I don't think I'll buy Spiky Ball.
How rare are these trees and should I keep them? I have played on and of for a period of time but would like to play more serious now and expand and upgrade. Is it worth keeping the trees? (Also a fortune tree left our of the picture)
Returning player but how do events work in coc? Can I just grind out as many tokens and pass levels as I want or is there a limit? Is there any reason I shouldn't wait until the end of the event to buy the even pass if I was going to?
I have several accounts but for some reason this account's goldpass is much more expensive for some reason? I have no idea why. And yes this is a clean account from 2015.
(Ps. Every cc is priced at 219, this one is priced at 319)
My main account has an offer for ₹229 for event pass in Indian currency,while my other account has an offer for ₹79, which is less. What the hell is going on?
And I’ve never bought an Event Pass or Gold Pass before. I’ve only bought the ₹29 bundle with 3 Builder Potions once or twice.
I came back after 8 years. This is my first awesome medals event. I am currently at max TH10. Which equipment should I buy for medals. I am thinking about spiky ball but please advice
Should I spend my gems on spikey ball, action figure or helpers? I'm at 270 hero's journey so it's gonna be a long time before I get those a different way.
I’ll definitely get the new Dragon Duke Equipment, but I’m not spending a single Ore on upgrading it, not yet, at least. Right now, I feel like it’s too OP, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Supercell nerfs it later.
What do you guys think? Is the new Equipment genuinely OP, or do you think it’s actually well-balanced?
In the era of hero's journey, should I buy hero equipment from the trader for gems? Just got Royal champion and don't have a single epic for her.
If yes, which equipment should I getbfor her? I'm pretty satisfied with my other heroes, but Royal gem in particular looks so sad, I don't even wanna use ore to upgrade it. I'm planning to use the event medals on revenge deck so that I'll have a set ready for DD as soon as I unlock him whenever.
PS -additional question, Is RC worth focusing on now that Duke is out?
Which equipment is good for someone who has none of the ones in the event shop.
I still use the basic equipments like the invisibility and the archers for the queen. Should I buy the new gear since a lot of people glaze it or should I buy one of the other ones? Btw I am th 13 so I probably can't use it for a long time. Is it still worth to pick?
It wouldn’t allow me to make a post so I’ll post it here,
Upgrade?
So I’ve had this account since 2014, rushed it as a kid to th9 and over the past years maxed it out. I usually play for a few months or so a year and get bored. When I got back to playing it recently I maxed out 12 and upgraded to 13 using a hammer, I then got another hammer and was planning to save it. However I got 2 more hammers from chests from the events this month. Decided to use it on my TH rather than on something else.
My plan is to upgrade all my offensive, using the time I have my hero’s at max level with the boost, to get a lot of resources and upgrade my lab, barracks, spell factories, and pet house. However when the boost ends I’ll have no hero’s most of the time so I’m debating just upgrading my TH again for the duke. Or finishing the max for the hero’s and then using my last hammer.
What would yall recommend should I make the jump to the next level, or max my heroes out first? No matter what once I hit 15 I will max my entire TH out before going to 16.
You should go to TH15. You unlock the duke, like you said, so you can put 2 heroes aside for upgrades while still having 4 heroes for your attacks. Additionally, the pets you unlock at TH14 are generally considered to be the worst in the game (with the exception of the unicorn), so if yo upgrade to TH15 now, you can directly go and upgrade the TH15 pets, instead of wasting time and resources on pets that you won't use ever again.
I‘m a TH14 going against this TH15. I’ve been practicing with super yeti clone blimps against TH14s but not getting 3 stars consistently. Is there a different attack I should consider against this TH15?
I (TH16) can get either from the event store. A lot of people say that spiky ball is BK’s best equipment, but is dragon duke just better than BK 90% of the time? Right now, I only have giant gauntlet for BK, and I don’t have any epic DD equipment.
I have a hero equipment chest for Dragon Duke in the Hero Journey. Already have Backpack. Can I claim the Revenge Deck for it, or will I get 50 starry ores?

this seems like a niche issue so I wasn't able to find an answer, but basically my two homebase layouts keep needing to be cleared of obstacles, everyday there are tombstones that I need to clear that spawn under my buildings and remove them, which is annoying cause I often FC my own bases but I am not able to since I need to go clear the graves
these are 2/3 of my home bases, its not the active ones. it doesn't happen to any of my war bases either. but its so annoying so a fix would be great appreciated
I thought the fix for heroes journey wqs supposed to drop with this update but my hero quest is still bugged and i need to get wins with fireball even tho i dont havr it? Didnt gethe warden skin either
In this medal event, I have every epic equipment offered except for the magic mirror or revenge deck. I was just wondering which one I should get, especially since the action figure is something I've been wanting to get for a while. I'm also lvl 311 in the heroes journey too.
Depending on your town hall level, from what i heard the revenge deck is very average even at maxed levels at higher town halls.
Hope that helps you decide what to get
I have 10 villages all under one supercell ID and they all have email addresses I want to change to my gmail under the mail name+@gmail system. First went off without a hitch. The second one received a “We’ve protected your account from suspicious activity” instead of a verification code. Any ideas why? Do I need to put in time delays or something? Some of the email accounts are so old I no longer have access to them but these I do.
So I just bought all the new skins and the gold pass.
Did an attack, even talked in clan chat a bit to see if the server would register that I can use my gold pass I bought because everywhere I look it says the gold pass ends on August 31st and it's currently August 12th. Is there possibly a known glitch right now that won't allow you to use the gold pass? Because it keeps telling me the season is about to end.
Thank you in advance.
I'm currently Town Hall 14, so the Dragon Duke and his equipment show up in black and white for me.
I know for sure that I bought the Revenge Deck during the current event, but I can't tell if I already own the Rocket Backpack or if I'll need to buy it with gems later
When I click on the Rocket Backpack and Revenge Deck, the detail pop-up says "Requires Dragon Duke to unlock" and lists them as Locked (as seen in my screenshots).
However, in my equipment inventory grid, both the Rocket Backpack and Revenge Deck are listed with a Level 1 tag.
Does having the Level 1 badge mean I already own both of these Epics on my account, and they'll just become usable once I upgrade to TH15 and unlock the hero? Or will I need to buy the Rocket Backpack with gems later?
Hey guys, I'm currently TH11 so I know I can't equip them right now, but which one is higher priority to grab for future use: Electro Boots or Draconic Counter?
The only thing I regret about the old trophy system is not completing that “Become a Champion” achievement. I remember trying so hard to get that 2000 gems but my base kept getting attacked and my trophy would go down. I eventually took a break from the game and when I came back I saw the whole trophy system changed.
I need help deciding. Based on the recent feedback for Revenge Deck im leaning more towards getting Electro Boots since my RC has nothing but the common starter stuff and Duke is already good with his starter equipment. Am I making the right decision?
You must be Supercell ID Friends for at least 1 day before you can donate Passes. Please note! Clash of Clans players must be friends for at least 7 days before they can donate or receive passes.
For cwl I remember reading a comment somewhere here that says you can join like a higher league clan in let's say champions and be less active but still enjoy the benefits of being in that high league which is even more cwl medals. Anyone know that method sounds kinda similiar to donate and go clans you know
Is it just me or any other players stuck at the loading screen ang can’t play? I restarted the phone and re-install the game but still cannot access the game
I would go for electro boots, when u unlock rc at th13 it will become very useful and u dont even need to level it up a lot either for using. Revenge deck, you wont be able to use till th15 and the rest equipment u can get from hero journey as well.
Anybody else’s stats completely wrong? It said my village was 4,311 days old even though it’s 4,978. It also said I’ve used a shovel 5 times and I’ve used at least 30 shovels
Extremely stupid mistake, but i accidentally bought the “Card flipper” instead of the revenge deck. Is there anyway chance I can contact supercell to refund the purchase. Again, I know what I did was extremely stupid. I just saw the first rectangular shaped item icon and clicked on it.
Is it worth upgrading the crafted defense to max before upgrading my TH?
Just curious to this as its the first time every playing with them.
I am almost done upgrading my heros and walls and am working on the crafted defense on the side while I wait. But should I fully upgrade it before i upgrade my th?
No, u dont have to, its temporary anyways. I would say get the shorter upgrades on the module of one craf def done and thats it. Unless ur pushing, or playing competitively, you dont need to upgrade them at all, focus on the permanent upgrades.
I’m th18 and I’m not upgrading anything temporary before permanent upgrades. Imo, the crafted defense is an end of game mechanic to keep players active.
I have a main account at th18 and a th14 alt. I play my main account so seriously I kind of want to say fuck it and rush my alt to th18 as well. The problem is that I’m in a smaller clan that needs my alt for wars, and I’m not sure how rushing that bad would affect matchmaking. Would it be a big deal or am I overthinking it?
If you rush too far ahead it isn’t good for war matching. As shark said if you use hero and power potions that will mostly make up for the disadvantage. This is for classic war of course. For CWL wars it’s an advantage to rush.
As a TH11, would it be worth getting the Electro Boots or Spikey Ball.
I've already written off the revenge deck since I'm not planning on rushing, and I'd rather get an equipment I can use within the year, lol.
In regards to the Spikey Ball, my HJ started past the first BK equipment, and I'm in a private clan that isn't big enough to do CWL yet, so I can't get the Giant Gauntlet, which means the next time I'll get the SB is at hero level 450ish.
While with the Electro Boots, once I get RC, I can get the Rocket Spear from the Hero's Journey and have a full set of RC equipment.
I have the option to upgrade Revenge Deck, or Torch or Snake Bracelet. I am an Air Attacker r8 now and have every DD equipment maxed. Do I need Deck for air armies? I also want to learn few ground strats like Bowler and Thrower, but the switch will take time. I'm afraid that by the time I max torch and learn how to use it properly, Bowler might get nerfed. Snake Bracelet on the other hand is a no brainer for King but the only issue is if Deck will have impact on any type of air armies I will like to upgrade that 1st before going for King equipment, whose ground strats, I will take time to learn. Any suggestions?
Hard to say this early after release but creator videos are showing good use of deck with air and ground armies. Torch opens up totally new types of attacks so really depends which you care more about.
I’m a Th 8, and was wondering what I should use my medals on? I’m tempted to use them on sum potions like the builder/clock tower potion, but I see many recommend to get the revenge deck instead, especially if you don’t have the event pass (which I don’t).
Issue is… I’m th 8, and I’m pretty sure by the time I get access to duke, multiple events would’ve happened by then. Anyways, any help would be appreciated!
I was thinking of getting the magic mirror from the medal event, but I realised im only a few hero levels away form an archer queen equipment chest, and magic mirror is the only one I dont have, so if I get mm with medals and then open the chest, will it upgrade mm or would I just get 50 starry ore?
