Introducing Practice Mode

One area we felt could be improved in Clash of Clans is how players transition from one Town Hall level to the next one up. While some players like to jump right in and experiment with the newly available Troops and Defenses, sometimes a little guidance can go a long way when trying to understand the different mechanics of those troops.

In the June update, we are introducing a new option in the Attack menu: Practice Mode. There are 17 different levels and each Practice Mode level unlocks when you upgrade your Town Hall. There is no timer, and each Practice Mode level has a pre-built army with Troops you do not need to train.





The first time you attempt one of the Practice Mode levels, a tutorial guide will instruct you on what Troops to deploy, when, and where in order to ensure you succeed at the level. 







The loot you gain from completing these levels is also yours to keep. Once you've completed a Practice Mode level, you are free to repeat the tutorial or you can attempt to beat them with your own strategy, using the pre-made Armies though you only earn the available loot once.



We've included some of the more popular strategies used at specific Town Hall levels like Witch Slap and Lavaloon. Perhaps these are completely new strategies for you to tryout. Or perhaps you already are familiar with them and would like abase to practice these attacks. 





The goal of the Practice Mode is to help players understand the nuances of the different troops, how different combinations of troops interact with one another, and to help players practice various strategies in order to improve their performance whether for farming, Clan Wars, or just enjoying the game in general.

With almost 5.5 million Gold and Elixir, as well as 42,000 Dark Elixir available by completing all 17 levels, earning a little bit of loot in the process doesn't hurt either. ;-)

Base Deep Linking
Come up with a new base design you want to share with the rest of your Clan? We've made village sharing much simpler with our new deep linking system. When you feel you've got a layout you'd like to share, you can link it directly to your Clan chat or as a link to the wider Clash community!



How does it work?
When a layout is shared, we save a snapshot of the layout. When you use the link, it will display the village at the moment of the snapshot. Just be advised that changes made after the link is generated do not get updated. So make sure you share it again by generating a new link if you've made any changes.

Links that have not been used for a while will eventually be deactivated.
