With the release of both the miner and the baby dragon into Clash of Clans in the May 2016 update, I began thinking about what other Clash Royale cards would work well as Clash of Clans troops! This is the list that I came up with, let me know if you would add any cards…
The second new elixir troop in the May 2016 update will be the miner as we all knew because of the leak! This troop is straight out of Clash Royale, just like the new baby dragon. Looks like Clash of Clans is looking to release the update tomorrow based on today’s two sneak peeks. Miner…
Straight from Clash Royale, the baby dragon will be the newest Clash of Clans troop! It appears as that the baby dragon will come from the level 11 barrack. It will be the level 11 barrack since it was introduced first in the sneak peek. Let’s take a look at what the baby dragons will look…
Yes, the 12th elixir troop was leaked today! The 11th new troop was leaked a few days ago, but this leads up to the 2nd new troop leaked within the past few days for the May update. Here’s a glimpse of the level 12 barrack! So this one seems to have a lava them to…
Another spell will be coming in the May 2016 Clash of Clans update! We had the skeleton spell and now we have the clone spell! The clone spell does exactly what it says, it clones troops! You might be thinking this is a bit OP. However, Clash of Clans made it so that it wouldn’t…
Clash of Clans just announced that there will be restrictions on Friendly Challenges. Obviously, this makes sense since it could be taken advantage of easily in war clans. You could repeatedly attack your opponents base design, until you get it just right. Therefore, Clash of Clans has made a few restrictions on Friendly Challenges: Layouts…
The 11th elixir troop was leaked and it appears to be the miner in Clash Royale! This is Clash of Clans, however, and will be a completely new troop with a completely new concept. Of course, it could be multiple different new troops, but here is the new level 11 barrack and it sure does…
So it appears as there will be more sneak peeks to this May update! The second of these sneak peeks is a brand new dark spell, the first dark spell ever added, the skeleton spell!

Hog Riders are the number one strategy in my opinion at both Town Hall 8 and Town Hall 9. Hogs are great for using in war to grind out the three star! However, between the two THs, the strategy changes infinitely, so you’ll need two separate guides! How to Succeed at Town Hall 8 The…

They have made the necessary changes that all players, whether farmers, pushers, or warrers, have been campaigning for for a while. Size of Village Increased! The size of your village has…
The last two sneak peeks have been a big letdown in my opinion, being just changes to the update and answers from the development team. Changes to the Update So after a couple sneak peeks, the developers decided that some changes needed to be made after hearing the complaints of some of the Clashers. Here…

When you first get TH9, you need a go-to strategy, something that allows you to completely obligate TH8s without it being close. You need a strategy that can earn you the easy three star.
