"Clash of Clans" August update is intended for more exciting game in the future says Supercell; however, the latest update on "Clash of Clans" gained mix views from gamers, and majority of them seem to be different from what game developers have expected.
According to Supercell, the update is minor alterations, tweaks, and balances. However, players have major concern on the effect of the new "Clash of Clans" update to the game strategy, especially the fact that Healers are now vulnerable with air traps.
According to International Business Times, this is the biggest adjustment in the game. Unfortunately, many alleged that instead of strengthening the gamers, it ruins Queen Walk or Super Queen strategies, which is the favorite of many. This technique uses multiple Healers as protection of the Queen, but this suddenly becomes impossible because of Healers' vulnerability.
Supercell explained that Healer balance is a risk-reward proposition. In effect, the players are left with the task to devise new strategy to use it effectively. In fact they strongly suggested that deploying extra Healer should maintain a Queenwalk's effectiveness. Contrary to what most gamers think, the update is not intended to completely remove that tactic.
Aside from this, the update also has minor alterations in other aspects such as increased canon damage for level 11-14, slowing down of miners and deployment of more armies before Eagle Artillery is activated.
Supercell nevertheless promised that they will re-balance Healers if it happened that nothing better comes out of it. After all, many reports suggest that Supercell is busy working on the new update, especially on their plan to upgrade on mass-attacks of mid-size units. According to Neurogadget, the next update will have gem mine feature to help players collect free gems to boost their way to higher levels as well as rumor that penalty feature will be introduced to keep players from using their resources unnecessarily.
The "Clash of Clans" August update is yet to be released, but it is already available as free download for Android and iOS.
