Balancing Blog Series: March 2016 Update

The Inferno buff isn't needed. Even the xbow Buff.

For th8 and 9 the reduced raid time and the new AI under the poison is extremely awesome for the war balancing. But the reduction only is needed at lower th10. th10 and 11 is so huge that it would be ok. It prevents some stupid gowipe and mass dragon 3 stars. Love that. Also you have more variability on troops you can use in the war cc. Really Really awesome.

Increasing the HP of the wiztower should only be regarded to the 11 to prevent these stinky mindless spamwitches attacks.

The xbow buff is also a queenwalk nerf but one where i would say that it is to handle and the time reduction too. But the reasons of doing these are for my oppinion the wrong ones especially with the Infernobuff. But lets see how it works.

The valkyrie balancing is i think not that impact. Increasing the attackdamage and attackvelocity is antagonized with an hp nerf. Seems to be more an functionality correction but not a buff oder nerf.

Reducing spelltime is nice. Thx for that.

------------------------------------------------
tl;dr
Nice rebalancing the th8 and 9 warfare. But for th10+ it would be even more difficult as it already is. Let's see what SC brings in the new update. Cannot imagine that the th10+ defence buffs are not regarded from SC. I hope the rumors about a new troop are true.

Supercell and many of the top-members of the clash community have been trying to expand the idea of "let's increase the tacticality and strategy on the game" by implementing new ideas, new attacks, strategies, etc. However, with the recent addition of the TH11, mass witches/wizards just evaded the entire notion of 'tacticality' and 'strategy'. I'm glad that they finally have a look on that, since it's getting pretty cliché for TH11 to use just mass witches and call themselves "good attackers". Yeah, mass witches is no different from the default attacks like gowipe, gowiwi, etc. 1-stage attacks.

It's about time!

Couldn't agree more

Very dissapointed about the time limit decrease. Can't you keep it at 3 minutes for th9s and below and have 3 minutes 30 sec for th10 and above? Trying to do a walk takes at least a minute plus the poison and cc change you're left with 1 minute of taking out a base if you try a walk. Don't like it.

no pressure ash one of the new troop is my fav :p keep it away from anything that can do harm :p i was going to tell surround it with larry's but SC has nerfed it already so just adapt :p

no pressure :p :smirk: if you see that camera zooming in or out it's perfectly normal :) it's not like im watching you guys or anything that will make you guys uncomfortable :p

Being th8 war player, its good to see that supercell is killing off double poison lures and nerfing valks to perform better. However, i don't like the fact that they are going back to 3 min. raids. Personally, the extra 30 sec. have come in handy alot, which is usually the reason why most of my 3 star raids dont end up as 99% 2 stars. This case doesn't only apply to me as my other clanmates need those extra 30 sec. as well. Thank you for listening to our concern SuperCell.

I always felt the poison was added because of the complaining and whining from clans under L5 that had to deal with the plus one troop perk in opposing war CCs from clans at L5 and above. Another parity move.

I think most of these changes are good, but the witch nerf? Who told supercell mass witches were effective at th9? Cause they ain't.

they could even quit because of lack of diversity the game offer....


who wants to use the same 2-3same troop combinason over the pace of 2-3years...


oh wait!

• Battle time limit reduced to be 3 minutes per attack once again
In the TH11 update, we played a bit too cautious with the battle time limits. There were three main reasons why we changed it to 3 minutes and 30 seconds: the play field was expanding, the number of buildings and/or walls had been increasing over many Town Hall levels, and the Eagle Artillery could be tackled by tactical pre-strikes. However, monitoring the situation post-update, it turned out the extra 30 seconds of battle time wasn't really needed. Bringing the time limit back to 3 minutes will help bring back shorter and tighter battles for all players, and was especially requested by the war community.

For real? i really dont use so much the forums, but is it true that the war community asked to bring back the 3 mins attack?
I even make a thread asking them to put more time to war attacks (HERE) becouse the only thing they do is Adding more buildings, and adding more HP to building, and there is no time to do the attacks... only way to 3 star a base with 3 mins is doing Golems at the start, we cant use time to kill CC or do a QW becouse we will get NO TIME... So when they bring the 3:30 mins attacks i think it was one of the best changes Supercel made into the game.

So, why the community was asking to bring back the 3 mins? I really dont get it... WHO would want the 3 mins when we have 3:30 mins?

Yea i agree. In war, th9s rarely use witches. When they do, its only to secure 2 stars, which is rarely done
