Supercell has made a groundbreaking announcement regarding Clash of Clans: they are eliminating Troop Training to enhance the gaming experience by allowing players to engage in continuous attacks without the wait for troops and heroes to become available. This update will enable players in Titan League and below to attack at will, as troops will be instantly ready for deployment and heroes will no longer have a recovery period.
In further detail, Supercell outlined these changes in a blog post on their official website, noting that players in the Legend League will be restricted to a limit of eight battles per day for the time being. These enhancements are set to roll out in the upcoming game update.
No More Troop Training: A New Era for Clash of Clans
According to the blog announcement, Troop Training will be officially discontinued following the anticipated March 2025 update. This change is facilitated by new server technology dubbed “Match Anytime,”which will allow players to access “snapshot bases”of real players when there are insufficient available targets.
Snapshot bases will be safeguarded by a Shield during attacks, meaning players can loot and earn trophies as usual without risking the defending players’ resources or trophies. Previously utilized during Clan Wars and Legend League matches, these snapshot bases ensure continuous gameplay without impacting player resources directly.
Initially, defending players will remain unaware of any attacks on their snapshot bases. However, Supercell has committed to integrating a Replay Log in a future update, allowing players to review potential strategies from previous matches.
Tweaks to Gameplay Mechanics: Adjustments to Potions and Donations
With the removal of Troop Training, Supercell will also phase out Training Potions and Training Treats. These items will be eliminated from in-app purchase options, and the Training Perk currently available in the Gold Pass will be updated.
Although these items will still be found in the Trader Shop temporarily, players should utilize any Training Potions and Training Treats they currently possess before the upcoming March update, as these will be converted into Gems thereafter.
Moreover, clan donations will now require Elixir and Dark Elixir, contingent upon what troops or spells are being donated. In addition, there will be a uniform 10-minute request timer for the Clan Castle, enabling players to seek reinforcements more frequently after battles.
The Gold Pass’s Training Perk will be substituted with a reduced Donation Request Timer, which will enable players to summon supporting troops more effectively.
Addressing the Trophy Dynamics: Impacts on the Legend League
As players gain the opportunity to engage in nonstop Multiplayer Battles, the potential for trophy inflation has prompted Supercell to adjust the trophy rewards structure. The changes planned include a reduction in trophies awarded for all Victories, with the most significant cuts applied to 1-star Victories. Winning 1-star matches will still yield trophies, but climbing the ranks will be more challenging under this new system.
Additionally, Supercell has pledged to monitor player trophy counts on a daily basis, adjusting the trophy reward values as necessary following server maintenance.
Currently, the unlimited attack feature is not being extended to Legend League players, as data indicates that most players do not utilize their full eight attacks per day. Nonetheless, Supercell has expressed intentions to address this aspect in subsequent updates.
The community’s reaction to the removal of Troop Training has largely been positive, given that this change addresses longstanding frustrations among players. As noted in the official blog post, the game is celebrating its 13th anniversary this year. The team recognized that the gaming landscape has evolved significantly since the game’s launch in 2012, making the previous 15-minute wait times between attacks feel outdated.
While Supercell has not yet announced a specific release date for the update, signs suggest it will roll out soon, as the Clash of Clans March 2025 Calendar indicates that update previews will begin in mid-March.
