The October 2023 update for Clash of Clans adds the Goblin Mines Capital District. This includes new Capital Troops: Mega Sparky and Super Miner, new Capital Spell: Endless Haste, new Capital Defense: Goblin Thrower and New Capital Trap: Spear Trap.

Clan Capital

New District - Goblin Mines

This is a new Clan Capital District that is available once the Capital Hall is upgraded to level 9. This district has a distinctive layout with mountains, rivers and minecart tracks.

Once this district is available, you will be able to unlock Mega Sparky (new Capital Troop), Super Miner (new Capital Troop), Endless Haste (new Capital Spell) and Goblin Thrower (new Capital Defense).

New Capital Troop - Mega Sparky

• Fav Target: Defenses
• Housing: 100
• Speed: 8

New Capital Troop - Super Miner

He travels underground (including underwater) and attacks using his power tool. Upon destruction, detonates a bomb.

• Fav Target: None
• Housing: 25
• Speed: 24

New Capital Spell - Endless Haste

• Duration: 4 attacks
• Housing: 3

New Capital Defense - Goblin Thrower

The Goblin Thrower is appropriately named, as it defends by throwing Goblins at nearby attacking troops. Each barrel contains 3 Spear Goblins with 5 barrels available per Goblin Thrower. The Spear Goblins will attack both ground and air targets. If a Goblin Thrower is destroyed before releasing all 5 barrels, they are immediately released.

New Capital Trap - Spear Trap

The Spear Trap triggers when offensive units move within 10 tiles of it, launching a barrage of spears at both ground and air units. It requires a minimum housing space of 8 to trigger.

Work for Hire Event

This event enables hiring Goblins to carry out an additional builder upgrade and an additional research task within the lab. They can be hired using Gems, with the cost being calculated based on the length of the upgrade. The resources for the upgrade are still required and the upgrade duration remains the same.

• If your Village is "rushed", attempting to upgrade your Town Hall will give you a notification recommending you upgrade your offensive abilities.
