On April 14, 2025, Supercell will implement significant balance changes for Clash of Clans during a scheduled maintenance break. These adjustments primarily affect three of the four limited-time troops featured in the ongoing Friend or Foe event—Disarmer, Kane, and Giant Giant. Additionally, there will be modifications to the housing space of Yeti’s spawned mites, which will increase across all levels, ultimately reducing their numbers on the battlefield.
This article dives into the specific balance changes coming to Clash of Clans on April 14, 2025.
Overview of Balance Changes (April 14, 2025)
1) Disarmer Adjustments
Detailed statistics for the Disarmer troop are as follows:
- DPS Level 6: 225 → 220
- DPS Level 7: 250 → 240
- DPS Level 8: 300 → 260
- DPS Level 9: 325 → 280
- DPS Level 10: 350 → 300
- DPS Level 11: 375 → 320
- DPS Level 12: 415 → 340
- HP Level 5: 3600 → 3500
- HP Level 6: 4400 → 4000
- HP Level 7: 4850 → 4500
- HP Level 8: 5300 → 5000
- HP Level 9: 5900 → 5500
- HP Level 10: 6500 → 6000
- HP Level 11: 7100 → 6500
- HP Level 12: 7800 → 7000
- Initial rage speed and damage boost halved
- No longer targets air units
- Defending Disarmer can now respawn twice
The Disarmer, once viewed as the most powerful troop of the event, will face considerable nerfs. From April 14, it will no longer target air units, which limits its versatility during attacks. Furthermore, its initial power boost will be cut in half, slowing down its effectiveness in combat.
Across all levels, Disarmer’s health is being lowered, with the highest tier experiencing a drop from 7,800 to 7,000 HP. This reduction, combined with the fact that the unit can respawn twice, results in a net loss of 2,400 HP throughout its three lives. Its maximum DPS is also decreased from 415 to 340, reflecting similar reductions at lower levels. Interestingly, while offensive capabilities are being hindered, Disarmer’s defensive role strengthens with the new respawn mechanic.
2) Kane Modifications
Kane will see minor adjustments, as his DPS at Level 15 will decrease from 800 to 760. This subtle 40 DPS reduction may not significantly alter his performance in battle, hence many players may not notice this change at all.
3) Giant Giant Tweaks
Major changes for the Giant Giant are as follows:
- DPS Level 14: 940 → 920
- DPS Level 15: 1020 → 980
- HP Level 14: 24000 → 23500
- HP Level 15: 26000 → 25000
At levels 14 and 15, the Giant Giant will undergo reductions in both health and damage output. Specifically, the drops include a 500 HP decrease at level 14 and a 1,000 HP reduction at level 15, in addition to DPS reductions of 20 and 40 respectively.
4) Changes to Yeti’s Mites
Finally, adjustments to the Yeti troop will see each Yeti Mite’s housing space requirement increase from one to two housing spaces starting April 15, 2025. This modification aims to limit the number of mites produced and cloned during battles, thereby curtailing their overall destructive capability. Earlier strategies leveraging Yeti for clone usage will need to be reevaluated as its efficiency diminishes.
