The June 2025 update for Clash of Clans adds Crafted Defenses, Ice Block Dark Spell, new levels for TH17, balance changes and a number of bugfixes

Crafted Defenses

A new temporary Defense type is coming. Build and upgrade up to 3 temporary Crafted Defenses on the Crafting Station at the max TH level.

• Only 1 Crafted Defense can be active at a time, but you can switch between them any time.
• Each Defense has 3 upgradable Modules that affects a different attribute of the Defense.
• Only 1 Module per Defence can be upgraded at a time and requires a Builder

Seasons

• Each season is 3 months, meaning 4 seasons per year.
• With each season reset, players will start with a fresh set of Crafted Defenses.
• If you are not eligible for a new season (such as no longer being the max TH level), the Crafting Station is removed from your Village and all layouts.
• In season 1, there are 10 levels for each Module. This may change in future seasons.

New Dark Spell: Ice Block

A new Dark Spell that is unlocked with Dark Spell Factory level 7 (TH14). When deployed, it freezes your own Troops and Heroes. They won’t move or attack while under the spell effect, but they will also take hardly any damage. This can distract defense buildings while other Troops continue their work.

New Levels

New levels are coming. These are for TH17 unless otherwise specified:

• Balloon Lvl 12
• Lava Hound Lvl 7 (TH16)
• Druid Lvl 5
• Battle Blimp Lvl 5 (TH15)
• Frosty Lvl 11-15
• Dark Spell Factory Lvl 7 (TH14)

At TH17, the remaining 75 wall pieces can be upgraded to level 18.

Balance Changes

Eternal Tome rework

The following changes have be made:

• Troops that exit his aura will lose damage immunity after 1 second
• Damage immunity will apply to troops entering his aura while ability is active
• Duration increased by 0.2s for all levels

There have also been various changes made to early TH levels, full details can be seen on the official blog post:
