The new Clash of Clans update for June 2025 has been released now and it is full with new things like Crafted Defences, balance changes, spells and various tweaks across the game. After releasing the sneak peeks, Supercell finally dropped the patch notes, and the update went live. It’s a big one with lots of gameplay additions. Players with Town Hall 17 are now getting a new way of defence Crafting Station. There is also a new Dark Elixir spell and even changes in very convenient army training.
Crafted Defences: A New Way of Building
With this update, players at Town Hall 17 can create crafted defences. These defences are limited in time only, but give different strategies.
- Hook Tower pulls enemies and stuns them. Siege Machines don’t get affected.
- Flame Spinner is spinning and throws fire at nearby troops.
- Crusher Mortar throws big mortar to crush enemies from above.
- Build and upgrade up to 3 temporary Crafted Defences on the Crafting Station (Town Hall 17).
- Only 1 Crafted Defence can be active at a time, but you can switch between them anytime!
- Up to 3 Crafted Defences are available to build during a Crafting Phase; these typically will last about 3 months. New Crafted Defences will take their place with the next phase.
- Each Crafted Defence has 3 upgradeable Modules. Choose the Modules you’d like to upgrade and make a Crafted Defence that’s truly your own!
- New Crafting Phases will bring new Crafted Defences! Experiment with new defences as they turn up, and you might just find a new favourite.
Ice Block Spell Arrives (Dark Elixir)

The Ice Block Spell is the latest added spell, and it freezes your troops in a protective ice shield.
- Unlock at Town Hall 14.
- Level 7 Dark Spell Factory required.
- 2 Upgrade levels at Town Hall 14, with 1 upgrade level at each following Town Hall.
- Upgrade levels increase the % protection from incoming attacks.
This is good if you want to tank defences while others push in the base.
Cookbook Added to Training Screen

Now the game has something called a Cookbook on the Army Training tab. It shows Starter and Featured Armies.
- Starter Armies help beginners with simple armies based on their TH level
- Featured Armies are made for events or suggested by content creators
- The Cookbook will unlock at Town Hall 4.
- Featured and Creator Army Recipes will start appearing at Town Hall 10.
It helps when you are not sure which army to use.
Troop Upgrades
Few troops got new levels in this patch:
| Unit | New Level | Town Hall |
| Balloon | 12 | TH17 |
| Rocket Balloon | 12 | TH17 |
| Lava Hound | 7 | TH16 |
| Druid | 5 | TH17 |
| Battle Blimp | 5 | TH15 |
| Frosty | 11-15 | TH17 |
Also, leftover Level 18 Wall pieces are now open to upgrade.
Balance Changes Overview
- The Ice Hounds ate some snow, and now their freeze effect duration is consistent at all levels. Increase level 1 Freeze from 3.5 to 3.75 seconds.
- The Eternal Tome’s Duration increases by 0.2 seconds at all levels.
- Damage immunity effect now lasts 1 second after exiting Grand Warden’s aura.
- The damage immunity effect is now also given to Troops that enter the Grand Warden’s aura after activation.
- Early game Troops are even more eager to prove themselves to their Chief! Several Buildings and Troops at lower Town Halls have had their stats adjusted to make early game battles faster-paced and more fun.

Changes in the Army Training System
Image via Supercell
You can now:
- Change Hero skins right from the training tab.
- Rotate Heroes like in Hero Hall.
- Move troops/spells/Heroes in your lineup by drag-and-drop, they will show in the same order in attacks.
- Tapping alerts gives you more info now.

These are small but help with a smooth experience.
Amazon App Store Support Ends
This patch also removes the Shop Offers for Amazon users. The update won’t come anymore for the Amazon Appstore. So, if you play on the Amazon version, it’s best to connect to Supercell ID and move to another version to continue playing.
Global Pricing Is Being Rolled Out
Supercell is doing a Global Pricing test. Depending on your location, prices might be adjusted for the local economy. So you might see different costs from other players in your region. This is still in testing and not the final version yet.
Supercell ID Guest Accounts
From now on, if you don’t have SCID, you’ll get a Guest Account after completing the tutorial.
- A Guest Account can later become a full SCID.
- Existing players also get a Guest SCID if not linked before.
- Full SCID is needed to get some rewards or achievements.
