Supercell has reportedly announced a new troop for "Clash of Clans" (COC) in the comment section of a Facebook post unveiling the global release of Clash Royale. While the comment does not give much detail, it seems the developer company is set to launch the new troop in the update before April.

It is reported that the company will unlock the new troop at Town Hall 10 and will not be the expected Musketeer troop from Clash Royale. The new troop will be a Dark Elixir based, similar to other Dark Elixir based troops like Hog Riders, Lava Hounds, Witches, and Minions, according to iDigital Times. Furthermore, in development are great plans for the next big feature.

Christopher Groux, "COC" YouTube insider TheAlvaro845, teased that the new troop will be a notable game changer. The insider as well unveiled some information about the "COC" March update in a video revealing the changes brought by the "COC" Treasury update.

The developer company recently had a major breakthrough with the Dr. T and Mega Crab event hosted for Supercell's other multiplayer-based mobile game, Boom Beach, according to a different report by the same publication. Clash Royale, a collective card game hybrid slightly similar to Hearthstone, will be available for iOS and android worldwide in March.

In the previous major update for "COC," the Town Hall 11 update, the company introduced a defensive structure referred to as Eagle Artillery and the Grand warden as a new hero. However, gamers were generally disillusioned with the gameplay changes the company incorporated in the update, although after two months, the dust has settled for the most part.

Supercell as well recently unveiled a developer API for "COC" data that will definitely be crucial for the third-party community websites like WarClans.

Watch the video clip below for more information about the upcoming new Dark Elixir troop.


Here is a Facebook post for the Clash Royale update.


Our friends on the other side of the office will see you ALL in the Arena soon… #ClashRoyale
