Thanks always so quick and best info from jodo ❤❤❤
I think It will be awesome if we get more things like this in coc 🎉
Judo if you do your th 16 spending spree don't forget the gold pass discounts 😂😂
do you think they will merge wizard towers in future townhalls?
Nah the defending will be worse. Bro why they have to nerf it. I get it cause some people enjoy seeing their base gets always 3 star bru.
I’m SO glad they made this feature for lower town halls as well. Very good looks from supercell.
sending lovee❤❤❤❤
Agreed, I’ve been saying this for a while, assuring there is new stuff to make you want to upgrade but also have stuff for everyone
@@JudoSlothagreed, some players just give up trying to grind bc they don't have something new, this new update is so nice for me.
Indeed. Each time an updtr comes out, I'm giddy until i find out that I'd be able to enjoy said update in about 2 to 3 years
Dude, why can't the equipment auto upgrade when I upgrade hero levels, this is a huge part of gameplay and making that a grinding annoyance is soo boring
Here's the thing, the new wall levels take 9M for a single piece. But there are 11 troops that can completely avoid walls, 4 which can shoot over walls. There is a jump and an earthquake spell, 2 heroes which can avoid walls and now this new earthquake gear
Walls are just for aesthetics now bruv
Walls are for us maxed players to have something to upgrade
I get it, but the same was kind of true at TH15. On my second account I had TH13 walls for the longest time, because I’d always prioritise other stuff.
Yeah walls seems like becoming less and less effective for protection and just being effective to be a challenge to path your army into the base (especially range troops being the harder once to funnel in)
U forgot the siege machines too 2 fly over walls 1 goes under the walls 2 wreck walls 1 shoots over the walls
I'm suspicious of the Epic equipment. If they are only available from special events, and much better than regular equipment, there's potential balance issues.
Yep think of clash royals evolution cards that’s what I’m thinking
We'll have to see what happens.
Money money
It probably will be
P2W here i come...
for me, this is just an amazing feature, and something I would rlly like to be added would be for the warden to escencially use different kinds of spell effects (cuz we can see that he can either heal or rage the other troops), by that knowledge, I think it might be very cool and at the same time fun and chaotic (like for example imagine just turn everything invisible or cloned or stuff like that)
2:39 That amount of shiny and glowy ores earned was just too perfect.
🛐🛐
yup bout to comment it
😂😂😂lol someone said it
Took the words right out of my mouth
Clash of clans content manager is going wild frfr
TH 16 seems very original and special so far. Thanks for covering every update Judo😊😊
You’re welcome I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the sneak peeks
u da bast @@JudoSloth
@@The_Firebird21 thats why I wrote so far lol
@@JudoSlothI’m glad u are my girlfriend
Explaining the different attack strategies with the new update is very helpful for preparation, thanks!
Great stuff as ever! Will you be doing an upgrade priority guide? I know with most new TH levels it's the usual routine of TH, Lab, CC, Storages, Army Camps etc but this feels very different (and exciting!) e.g. with the Blacksmith. Would love some guidance.
Me having to wait for tomorrow so I can get blacksmith to be done.
I actually like this change because for me, the archer queen's spawned units were usually detrimental to her because they triggered aoe defenses to kill her while invisible.
fr tho, it's very frustrating. I just want her to hide and heal not to agro and die.
Yeah it will be really useful to switch based on the strategy and layout you’re attacking
@@JudoSlothI was thinking about alt powers just a week ago 😂
@thetimeee1312 That's only in the case when splash defenses are attacking her if it's point defenses the archers are more protection
I’m really surprised to see such a stupid update after th15…th16 sucks, walls suck, new pet suck, what the F are coc team doing…These youtubers are only giving positive reviews coz they are assigned only to give positive views on these bullshit updates..First heros had upgrade then pets came..now hero abilities also have upgrade button , instead of giving less upgrade they’re just fooling us. I’m playing this game for almost a decade and th15 was a bad idea and after looking at this…it really breaks my heart to see they have ruined this TOTALLY
Thats something I didnt expect, but I am super glad for Archer queen, because the spawned archers dont do anything besides dying in 1-2 seconds
I loved having them tank the defending queen , Xbow , monolith, or single target inferno. Now when you Cloak the Queen. these defenses will immediately lock on the healers, resulting in an immediate fail of the Queen Charge! !!
@@euwpredator862I mean the ability is still there should you choose that instead of the other ones. No one is forcing you to change it.
That's correct, you can keep the same old ones. But I will happily be using the earthquake boots and the giant arrow as th13 player to navigate stupid pekkas towards the center of the village:)) I believe these new changes will encourage the players to use ground attacks prominently🤌🤌🤌 no more electro dragons:)
@@kamranmammadli5850no electro dragons will still be used
Spawn archers suck. They have 'no' health, so mortar can one shot them
This is so awesome, its great to see more than just the newest townhall get new content.These are gonna change the game a lot, and it also adds a lot of new options for them to add cool new gears.
Great Video! ❤ Love how you gain the ora’s from being apart of wars. This helps alot with having ppl use their attacks
Th16 will be so much easier than th15 was
I agree with you, Alien
Agreed, but it will be fun
It will be, and so much more fun
Yeah, clash thinking about F2p players too❤
Yeah One flaw of th15 Its doesn't add any good offense but defense were really hard Thats why its harder to attack
I was actually thinking of this during the th16 videos and the interview with Darron. The earlier townhalls need a major content update as all new content is restricted to the end of the game which is disappointing since only a few players will actually make it that far to see the new content. Having this new addition not only solves this issue but provides a new fun way to make the base feel like yours.
Yep this is what I mean by them changing the gameplay up to keep everyone interested, it’s a great addition.
If you're at a lower townhall you just need to progress to the next townhall to unlock new content
@@theotheagendashill818yeah that's alot of tiiiime
I love how u explain the new hero gears now i understand how they will work.....good job Judo❤
The vampire mustache, rage crystal, and spirit fox on the barbarian king is going to be unstoppable. 4 seconds of rotating invisibility while healing at 300 per hit and he can rage up if DPS gets too high… can’t wait to try it out
Now this is called a Spectacular Gameplay change for a Hero Ability 🔥
Agreed, gameplay changes are critical to keep things fresh and they did a great job
And Judo🥋, All the sneak peeks were good and this was the best one 🔥 Great job from Clash Team and Kudos to your educational and entertaining explanation videos 🔥
I Agree, the gameplay changes are spectacular.
You mean spectacular offense buff and no significant defense buff. Every attack will be like spamming requiring zero skill bru
I love how judo explains complicated things easily
@@MonkeyDIvan FYI this game is for all ages.... so yeah, there will be people finding this complicated.
@@ryannasir5081bro let the kid have fun, whats the harm. it's fcking coc
@@ryannasir5081chill bruh it’s probably just a kid let him enjoy the game without being so toxic
@@dynastyliam1 and ur telling me this why? I can’t remember u being the person who made the original comment… dude thinks every person is the same 😹
@@dynastyliam1I don’t think he meant complicated as in it was hard to understand but rather complicated as in there is a lot of things to learn here, this is an entirely new mechanic and there is a lot being added.
It’s nice that they made updates for lower town halls as well instead of just th16/15 changes
I suggested this over a year ago on both the discord and your channel. This is the best update to happen yet... absolutely nuts
That is a MASSIVE game change. I'm very excited to see with what strategies the community can come up with.
Totally.
I’m just waiting to see how other people attack and hopefully they post. This is so exciting
I think the coolest part of the healer puppet is that it allows for an entire queen walk to be recalled as once you place it back down you activate the ability.
I’m not sure what you mean, this would still probably give too many healers resulting in diminishing returns, unless you didn’t take all 4 Healers before the Recall but I’m not sure why you wouldn’t. Can you clarify what you mean with this?
@@JudoSloth Seems like it would be a much cheaper way to set a funnel and QW up. You wouldn't need the 5 healers taking up camp space either. Or you could take all five and forgo cocoloons because losing healers matters less when you can just summon more after a few die. I could also see a world where people use apprentice wardens in a QW recall with only one or two healers and the three from ability. I have never been more excited for a Clash update in my life and all the healthy complexity and flexibility added to attacks will give the game a lot more depth and room for creativity. Gonna be a treat to see what the Navi guys will come up with six months down the road.
@@JudoSlothyour healers could die/be ditched and you could recall the qc and then activate its ability to essentially revive the qc with healers and all
I’m sad they are giving the barbarian king shoes, I enjoyed looking at his feet.
@@Bluebottlenoseu still got Archer queen's feet to look at 😏
Definitely throwing me off trying to learn the new ways to use abilities. Great chance for creativity in attacks though. Hopefully this makes th15-16 along with the defense nerfs a little bit more balanced. Looking forward to maxing all of the new stuff out!
Thank you for the captions so i can read! Appreciate it
Im a little concerned about the epic equipment. Especially if its tied to events. It kind of gives pay to win vibes if its not always available.
this new update is going to make the game unfair
@toddklemm8167 what makes u think that? edit: im worried about the follow up. I think the update itself is fun.
@@toddklemm8167that's what u think, but it's not going to happen
@@alexderksen1213it obvious that "epic" equipment you get from the shop, the starry fragments mostly just for upgrade
@dearyl1144 by shop u mean like real money? Cuz thats the first actual pay to win mechanic super cell would introduce to clash of clans. Its not obvious. edit: every other payment is payment to progress.
2:43 those Ore numbers are spectacular
nice
Ayo? 😂
was hoping someone else noticed this
Yea me too
Yeah I notice as well😂
This is phenomenal & provides you with ample content opportunities! You could make a playlist of current & old strategies and how to gear the heroes to update/enhance those strats! I'll be watching!
Thx for the detailed explanation Judo ❤
It seems like in future, Judo would upload the new CoC updates even before the official Clash of Clans page uploads it... 😂❤️
Not quite, they uploaded before but either way I’ll bring the videos as soon as us creators are allowed to bring them
@@JudoSloth I can understand bro. But *Attacking is getting VERY POWERFUL 😭 please do something For DEFENDING BASES ALSO*
@@JudoSlothcuz your LAN is faster,once your video had been uploaded before coc official,I had got your notification first 😂
@@JudoSlothhow many days ago did you record this video or did you do it this morning
Base layouts are going to have a massive change with the new hero equipment
I’m sad they are giving the barbarian king shoes, I enjoyed looking at his feet.
@@Bluebottlenose😭😭😭😭
@@Bluebottlenoseleast downbad coc fan:
@@Bluebottlenose 😒😂
@@WW-pg1ro*”I love co…”*
great explanation, only thing I would've liked was a comparison of the heal and rage spell stat comparison to the grand warden equipment
Thank you for giving us the information 🙏
It would've been cool if the default equipment was automatically upgraded whenever we upgrade that specific hero (exactly as it is right now before the update). That way we get to upgrade only the additional equipment that's unlocked from the Blacksmith.
That's exactly what it is. lol
@@atel4946well the moment the update came the default one will get upgraded automatically, but you would still require resource after that
Not enough money to make that way
yes they will be upgraded when the update drops but then you will have to upgrade them separately@@atel4946
@@atel4946 I dont think so, now the default equipment will be a higher level when the update comes out, but if you upgrade your hero after I dont think the equipement will level up along side it
Thank u Judo for this video buddy! ❤
2:39 nice numbers judo
This is alot more crazy than i thought it was going to be. But something more to grind besides hero levels👽👽
The fact that u need to upgrade them individually. Yeahhh its going more towards pay to win.
@@kenkr9449fr
@@kenkr9449 when you think about it.. they took their tanky/ OP-ness for something good actually. there is no nerf to that you still get the basic build there's something more interesting you can work on i think its great but how often we get shiny ores is important otherwise there's no point
Yep, it does look like that but you’ve got to think if you were upgrading these from when you were a TH8 you’d make good progress over the years. It’s like other stuff it’s intended to keep you going over time.
@@JudoSloth it is indeed but if we're not getting enough shiny ores often then even you can't max out before your base does First look is great. But we don't know how long it will take... I'm more excited about royale champion gears
I see what you did at 2:51 Judo… can’t hide it from me🤣
What he do. It flew over my head. 😂
2:51 Wow judo. Wow. That’s crazy
Seems like a great updata, can't wait! good video again
I think this is really cool but I am worried about the progression grind to get hero equipment up to a higher level. I really hope that levelling up your gear doesn’t take ages and ages. Additionally, I am VERY afraid of having “epic” gear that’s limited. I really hope that isn’t something that’s done because it would mean for the first time that gameplay and ways to play the game would be behind rewards that not everyone will get. Anything limited atm is purely aesthetic, and doesn’t impact your ability to play the game vs anyone else. I hope they keep that in mind
I think judo explains new updates much better than the official channel 😂❤
Love all your video's Judo! Keep up the good work 😁. No update this morning, does that mean the update is coming Tuesday the 12th?
I've always thought of this idea. Good to see it coming to life
Thanks for all the sneak peak videos judo. Appreciate all the great content you bring to the table
Thank you Judo for all the time you take to explain each of these, , deeply appreciate the teasers.
Look out for the trap. Supercell never add something new without messing the whole game. NGL. So now we will have to struggle to get something not as good as what we used to have. Am I the only one that can notice it?
Thank you for all the amazing content Judo!!! I love watching your videos!! ❤❤❤
i don't like the concept of equipment in most games but supercell did it very well. it's not complicated and i like that they kinda.. kept the original abilities. for that amazing video im definitely using code judo 😁
for the warden putting the healing equipment with the rage equipment would be absolutely crazy in smash attacks in areas with low dps buildings
Nice explanation 👌 👍 👏 Judo Thank you so much 💛
With the epic equipment for events, as long as it doesn’t require money to get I think will be such a good idea. Make everyone play the events to the max to get special equipment can really increase the amount of people coming back and daily play
Or widen the gap between casual and hardcore players even further. for example I didn't even know hero equipment was a thing till yesterday when i saw i had a new building in the shop tab. i took 1 week off because all my builders were busy.
@@jaredcrawford923 yea very true same thing happened to me at the end of hammer jam used all my builders for crazy long upgrades and now I’m stuck not having the black smith for another week atleast
We will be very happy if the dev allows us to bring the heroes in attacks (wars or loots) while they are being upgraded 🤝🏻
We definitely need it a lot more now since that's like one of the only ways to get the rarest ores
I'd say if they did we would get weaker DPS heroes but still same hp since they MIGHT be given weaker weapons while their current ones are being upgraded by the builders
At least war. Hate to have to sit those out for sooooo long whenever upgrading a hero
Love this feature outside of cosmetics for heroes we were lacking a way to customize our armies further.
Amazing! Thank you sloth and Supercell for this ❤
This is the best video i see in this channel especially the last part is so funny 😂
2:44 they knew what they were doing with those ores
i think i saw Havoc made a video on this concept, well that was nice foreshadowing
My main is lagging behind in town hall level due to my bouts of inactivity, but I think this could have made me more committed to the game. The one fumble, the Royal Champion not getting any new options. I love the RC, and while her base capabilities are great, I really wanna see what customization they can offer. I would love to see an ability where she throws a massive spear to snipe a building off the map. Maybe she enters a defensive and immobile state of damage reduction and then you tap the spot to hit, and then she throws the spear. Another idea would be a defensive ability that slows her movement speed, but also boosts her survivability with a damage reduction passively or temp invulnerability if an active ability.
So excited for this i just finished maxing my heroes on my 4th account yesterday, i will have so much to do on all 4 accounts now haha
WOW this is a HUGE update!!! I am super excited to use different combinations! Heroes just became more meaningful. Thank you Judo for the explanation!
Its good that the update contains some content for players who are not th 15 yet.
One more thing make you grind and get frustrated for... as if there's not enough of those already. I hope there is a discount on the DE or Elixir on the same proportion those orbs cost when you upgrade your heroes.. it's a very cool feature but the economy... always the economy... is tricky.
This is so unique, cannot wait to use these new heroes abilities and experiment to my play style
This is so sick but i really hope the classic abilities get renamed back to their original names, royal cloak sounds cooler than invisibility vial, and iron fist is cooler than rage vial, etc
Just me or I kinda want upgrade times for these as well. I must be crazy but personally I’m just used to having to wait. 😅. Also it makes more sense to me.
That's the developers who never disappoint us in every new update 😊
Then why many players leaving coc including me also .😂
They’ve certainly done a great job with this one. I’d said for a while I hope to see more features for a lot more players!
We will see, this could possibly be a pay-to-win update
@@All_typecontentwhen

Good Job with the amazing explanation 😇
my go-to attack for th13 is blizzard lalo and when i saw the queen and ESPECIALLY the new warden equipment i had a bunch of happy noises inside
2:42 so beautiful points there
😂😂
Messing up the funnel and having an incompatible equipment for recovery could be bad, though. But I think it is rather fun knowing you can change it and create new strategies. This is great
It keeps on getting better ❤

This is amazing! So much more flexibility,but they might need to balance stuff like the giant arrow since its insanely broken haha. Love your videos judo! ❤❤❤
I hope you can switch the Hero abilities during the time right before an attack. Much like how we can switch between siege machines
funny how i always find myself seeking for dr. judo’s help everytime there is a new update😭 judo has become a staple in this giving guides left and right. thank you dr. judo❤
Hopefully offense should feel a bit better for all town halls with this new feature!
It should do
This will make the defending and base building worthless. Lots of nerf to defense and then this. Bru
@davenjoshbaquing6097 thats not even remotely true.
Wtf! Offense is already fine. It’s stupid how much they are nerfing the defence. It won’t be fun i guess. You can just spam and get a 3*!! Eww
Offense wasn't fine lmao. The best players on earth barely broke 50% 3* rates at TH15. Your average player may not 3 star at all against a non rushed TH15. They are nerfing the hell out of defense because it is literally killing the game and driving players to simply not playing. You can't balance your games around your top 1% to have fun and expect it to survive.
Love the fact and whenever there's new TH update lower level THs also get something new. Either a simple reduction in cost or new buildings and mechanics like this one. I'm already TH15 tho but happy for the lower level players who'd get to try this new thing very early.
This is the most amazing video I watch today, can't wait for this update
Glad that the lower town halls get something new as well seems pretty interesting too
Can't wait fo see pro players giving us some jaw dropping attacks using these💪
I love how the rewards for the ores in the clan wars was, 420 and 69 2:39

Wow this is gonna take some time to get used to. Nice to see that its a new feature for most players
I haven’t played clash of clans in a few months but I still sometimes watch your videos
This is such a cool change. Im glad supercell listens to the community suggestions (unlike other games) im so excited to see how this changes strategy's
Yep, it’s a good addition for sure
Clash of clans is sure undergoing a massive change. Absolutely excited to try these upcoming changes. Thank you Judo for always keeping us updated with juicy COC contents ❤❤.
Great explanation Judo
I just hit town hall 13 the other day and its so exciting to see the game still keeps that freshness with each major update. Can't wait! (eventually i'll hit town hall 17 xd)
16* Buddy 😊
This is such a great feature, I wasnt a big fan of the new theme but this made me like this new upgrade
Yep it will be very fun.
I wasn't really excited about the update because I just returned to the game 2 months ago after quitting for 7 years, lol. But after this, I'm really really hyped for the update! This changes sooo much and opens more fun attack strategies. Please tell me we have Heroes on the troop loadouts now though. Because I'm pretty sure I will forget to reset them every time I attack because I alternate between a farming and a trophy army every next attack. 😆
Nope you have to change manually before every attack. I hope they update the quick train tab so abilities get saved for each army.
bro we have same story lol and i think they will have them in loadout or you dont need to reset them again and again in live update and yes it adds so much new ways to attack
Ok, you they do have a load out, and now they have lives, which only means that you can finally attack after you attack without needing to wait on heroes to heal, and you’ll be glad to hear that you don’t need to reset anything anymore, no traps, heroes, or high level defenses are gonna go unwatched anymore 😃
This is so cool, gonna change metas so much.
With th 16 and so much i cant wait to see official tournaments it will be packed with surprises and strategys and so much man it's more and more fun now
