The May 2023 update for Clash of Clans is live and brings the Builder Base 2.0 rework, Builder Hall 10, adds an X-Bow to the Builder Base and the new Electrofire Wizard troop.
The post will summarise what has been added/changed, however the full patch notes can be viewed here:
Builder Base 2.0
The Builder Base 2.0 updates reworks the core mechanics of the Builder Base. Troops have been reworked across the board so that you have fewer, more powerful troops, many with their own special abilities. From Builder Hall 6 onwards, the Builder Base is split across 2 stages to make attacking more strategic.
The builders for the Builder Base have also been reworked, meaning you can have 2 permanent builders in the Builder Base and 6 permanent builders in the Home Village.
Builder Hall 10
Builder Hall 10 has been added, introducing a new flagship defense, the X-Bow and a new troop, the Electrofire Wizard. Almost all existing structures get a new level added too.
Full details for what has changed in the Builder Base 2.0 update can be found in this dedicated guide:
Additional Changes
A number of smaller changes were also made as part of this update:
Fixes and improvements
- Allow stashing of shovelled obstacles also outside the layout editor.
- Added spacing between every three numbers in some buttons which display large resource costs.
- Fix bugs from self and area highlight of Spell Towers and Builder’s Huts when moving them.
- Hide … button for Super Troop info screens if they don’t have secondary units when viewing it from the edit friendly army screen.
- Fix bug which would prevent clearing of training queue when done from the war map.
- Fix crash when getting a new unplaced building while having other unplaced buildings.
