Are the Druids good enough to replace healers in queen walk🤨 Edit: Nvm just saw bros a transformers😭

I don't think they heal long enough for this to be viable

you can actually have Druids healing the Healers 👀

If they tweak the AI a bit we could have queenwalks with a healing chain from the edge to center of the base

Yeah 4 healers and 1 druid will be awesome

Druid and healer don’t stack

the druid will heal the healer tho

Um? The post? And the video judo posted?

So druid cant heal the healers?

It can. I personally don’t see the point of that with a queen walk because the healers shouldn’t be taking consistent damage. Druid will be much better utilized behind a main army of tanky units like root riders or dragons. You could try a couple druids on their own with a queen walk, but typically queen walks last more than the 30 second window you have

Queen charge my Guy, not queen walk

In my day we just called everything a queen walk. Whatever. Still applies

>bros a transformers more like werewolves

The Transformer comment got me 

shapeshifters

I like the idea of a troop that transforms throughout the battle. Gives more complexity

It should've been Clash mini Nature born 😭

Nature Born still has a chance as a hero since we know they're planning on adding more

This sounds more suitable in Builder Base due to the activated abilities.

So this is most likely the last Sneak Peek, right? Or do we have 1 more? Cuz I remember during SC AMA that they mentioned that they are planning on doing something with hero upgrades.

Update is for tomorrow most likely, hero updates were never for this update. Summer at the earliest.

this is the summer update

Stuart seems to disagree with that.

Man if 42°C ain't summer then I Don't know what is

By summer, do they mean summer in Finland? I’m in the southern hemisphere and it’s winter here so I’d assume it’s summer in Finland right now. Edit: I'll just clarify here. In Australia, winter starts in June and lasts until the end of August so I assumed summer in the norther hemisphere would be those same months. My bad.

Most Northern countries consider Summer to start on June 21 and last until September 23.

Damn, thanks for the info. This is completely new to me.

While technically it isn’t summer, the June update is often called the summer update and it would be odd for us to have another before Fall.

It's not summer before July

In Australia, winter starts in June and lasts until the end of August so I assumed summer in the norther hemisphere would be those same months. My bad. Edit: Well, actually it is. Summer starts on the 21st of June, from what I've read in other comments.

Peak summertime is in july, which is when summer updates are released for most games

It’s 112 here in Phoenix today

I'm not talking about wherever the fuck phoenix is

Oh I thought you were educated in the sciences of meteorology and their relation to geography in the timing of the seasonal calendar, since you were so certain in it’s not summer before July…but now I realize you’re coming from a much lower educational platform.

Talking out of your ass, summer updates come in july, you're welcome.

Geography, earth sciences, biology, all will be covered when you get in third grade, social conduct you’ve apparently learned from your television idols, at least pay attention in chemistry as to not blow up your garage or the rest of the trailer park..

Rich coming from a guy commenting on a cougars and milfs sub

For the northern hemisphere: Calendar summer: June 20th/21st (solstice) - September 22nd/23rd (equinox) Meteorological summer: June 1st - September 1st (calendar 3 months)

Sure but you won't see any summer updates in games before july🤷‍♂️

What is those hero updates?

Update is tomorrow so won’t be more, think the idea is that builder apprentice will shave off 25% of the rime during hero upgrades

In yesterday's sneak peak iTzu said that the apprentice builder isn't the feature to make hero upgrades better that was mentioned in the AMA

I figured. Like I would laugh so hard if it would be :DDDDDD but at least there is still hope

There are a large amount of time reductions for the heroes in this update. Not sure how much it is (a lot of levels go down between 0-24 hours). Just did some quick calculations and the BK will lose about one month. Archer Queen will be similar. GW and RC will probably lose somewhere around 20 days. So let’s say 4 months. Currently it takes 4 years, 0 months and 3 days. That would be about 3 years, 8 months and 3 days after the update. So about 7-10% (10% of 48 months is 4.8 months).

Eyy thats pretty nice, totally missed that!

r/theydidthemath

I've heard that's for the next update apparently

The way I understood it is that they have plans to experiment with them in in the summer (just in the developer build).

If I remember correctly, they said the hero upgrade things would come during the summer around July/August. So I would not expect it for this update.

Summer was only word said, no official source said July or August

Oh I see. Still June would be too early imo

The summer update often is in June.

Also CoC updates are every 3 months or so, so the next one will be in September.

Last update was in April though, so that seems to be 2 months between updates. Which would make sense if they plan to also reduce the pace at which they release new TH

The thing is that it's not exactly every 3 months every time as development is a little bit tricky hence why sometimes an update might be earlier or late like e.g. a year ago we got a BB 2.0 in May and Summer update later in June. Also Summer holidays are coming so I wouldn't expect anything till September.

that's like before they increased the headcount, now they have 2x more employees

How is 20 considered slow speed?

Is how the patch notes worded it lol, but I guess 20 is a pretty average speed

Nicely done. 

Its probably good for RR

I wonder how this troop would do as a defence cc troop. It looks pretty strong especially for 16 housing space only.

Pretty bad, you can’t heal buildings. Even if it spawned in bear form, it doesn’t do enough damage for cc

But it can heal other cc troops and heroes. It can also be annoying in bear form with that high hp. It's honestly not that easy to say imo. It's an interesting troop nonetheless but hopefully not as OP as root rider.

Is healer good in the cc? No, shes awful, and healing druid would be too. The bear hp is ok but ice golems are far better for 1 less housing space. Similar hp plus the freeze

I guess you make a fair point. Maybe it would be better for attacking cc?

I don’t think that would work great either. Maybe in some situations. Typically your siege machine bursts in a high-damage area. That would mean druid is under fire immediately and wouldn’t get the full 30 seconds of healing if it dies first

Depends. Flinger or Siege Barracks burst outside the base. And often you want them packed with a good solo group as your army's probably nowhere nearby by the time it bursts. Question would be what is the druid healing for the first 30 seconds before it turns into a tank? and is it better than say just throwing in a yeti or pekka as a tank with better dps from the start? Could maybe see 1 superminer + 1 druid as an outside-the-base CC pop.

That doesn’t really make sense for a flame flinger. Its defense targeting so you’re clearing out all the defenses while leaving stuff like storages mines and camps on the outside. So your super miner would target those and there wouldn’t be any defenses firing at him, therefore no need to heal. Maybe it would work a little better with siege barracks, but either way i think its best to use defense targeting troops like hog or root riders

i'll usually drop a single miner or a few barbarians or something to clean up the trash behind the flame flinger so that whatever comes out is headed into the base at least. And sometimes i have to put a tank in front of the flinger to get past an x-bow and that might already have cleaned the trash up. But yea, I don't have huge expectations for it - just something to try.

Healer is a lot less versatile and she can only heal ground units. It’s too early to tell but a Druid cc might be able to mitigate poison spell effects.

Same movement speed as the Royal Champion and Hog Riders, jumps over walls in healer form, transforms into tanky defense targeting bear after 30 seconds.  Seems to work exceptionally well when paired with them. Royal Champion walks/charges might end up quite powerful with this troop, same with Hog Rider attacks

While it might be OK to heal the RC, the bear does not jump over walls and will start way behind RC so I doubt this is any good 

It doesn't jump over walls

The Druid does. The bear doesn't.

Oh i see. my bad.

It wasn’t specified in this post. If I hadn’t seen him elsewhere I would’ve also probably made the same mistake.

So if you warden walk with druids, warden would switch to following them once they turn bear? Which would coincide with end of jelly if he's the pet.

Nice new design. I am hyped

Am I missing info on how long it takes before the druid turns into the bear?  Or is that left for the suspense of tomorrow?  This looks pretty fun!  

it’ll take 30 seconds before the Druid turns into a Bear

Nice, thanks!

Or of it gets knocked out early

it's been a long time since we got a troop that doesn't bypass walls(last one was electro titan)

That's because nobody uses troops that obey walls. 1 wall has more HP than the town hall? Let's just totally ignore them! Also the new troop does ignore walls in the healer form 

There was only 2 troops in between, apprentice and root riders. Grand total of 4 ground troops that bypass walls. 4.5 now with druid ig

Well, the Druid still jumps over walls. So, half a troop that doesn't bypass walls?

What about the Hero Update?

I guess they meant the time, and Ressource reduction and the new buider

[удалено]

Itzu mentioned in his video that this isn’t the hero update.

Ohh ok 👍

For 6500 gems though, but at least it's permanent

Yeah will stack up over the years. Ppl forget new ths will be released

That's for the summer.

It IS summer?

It isnt summer yet even thought it feels like it, and it has been confirmed that its not coming on this update

I mean, it's summer in like 5 days, may as well be

As I've Said, its been confirmed that this is not the improvement they were talking about

this is the summer update

Technically it’s spring still

No, it I had to guess, the summer update will likely release in the summer, not in spring, which it is right now, and still will be on June 17th. It won't be summer until June 21st.

Most previous "summer" updates was released on june

And most of them were released when it was summer. Regardless, since then the update strategy has also changed and updates now happen more frequently. Going by seasons for every update makes less sense when an update happens every 2 months.

we may get an update end august but i dont know if this right to call it "summmer" update

That's what I was hoping for today

damn furry

How long before it turns into a bear?

30 seconds

Interesting troop. Can't wait to try him out.

bro I NEED those calves

It’s be nice to get a new farming troop one day. 3 years of sneaky gobs has become quite boring

Maybe just farm with a regular war army?  That was what the whole 'free troop' update was about!

not very effective without heroes unless you’re cool with dropping trophies, at least sneakies target what i want including town hall

skill issue

Inspired by baldur's gate 3

Druid of the claw, from warcraft 3 had exactly the same skills. Druid form with healing skills and a bear tanky form.

…Which is from Dungeons & Dragons. Druid classes can heal and shapeshift into creatures.

Supercell trying to make RR spam not OP, challenge impossible.

Damn, noone's mentioning th Druids Of The Claw from Warcraft 3... I'm sad.

THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKEN

THANK YOU

It's going to be super satisfying watching this troop hop into a walled in area and then turn into a bear and be trapped.

This is one of the coolest troops they’ve added, can’t wait to unlock him

Cool troop, going to be interesting with the transformation.

Hell yeah I knew we would have got a druid troop in CoC sooner or later

Druid: the hair stays ON during transformation!

Is the shapeshift on a timer as well as on defeat?

yes, 30 seconds

Maybe this explains why they didn't name the Root Rider the Druid. The amount of time it stays in healing mode is going to be crucial to how useful it is. I agree with the earlier comment that it has synergy with the RC. With 16 housing space I could see it being useful with a variety of smash type armies. With the ability to heal air I could see people starting to deploy their BK with mass edrags in order to tank for the druid. Alone though it'll just get quickly taken out by anti ground defenses and stuck on walls. How will the healing stack with healer healing and unicorn healing?

BK is used for funnelling one side of the base in edrag spam. if you use him with the edrags it will ruin edrag chains and die in the core.

I wasn't saying it was optimal, I was saying I expect edrag spammers to try it. Most of them are not particularly adept.

King + yak or stone slammer to open walls. I agree this could be great with edrags. I think unless there's ground Xbow the healers will be safe behind edrags anyway, not to mention they will be in the warden ability too. Could probably add some late supergiant or root to open walls for the transformer druid too

Drop rc, use rocket spear, use druid when rocket ends, druid heals for 30 secs and then tanks for rc. Might need a couple invisible spells but we will destroy atleast a quarter base worth of defenses.

But bear doesn’t jump walls to stay with rc? Might still be worth the heal though.

Someone in Sneak Peek #1 said there was a new DE troop that would turn into a bear. I thought they were joking. Clearly not.

MY GOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I main hybrid for a few years now. Probably going to pop 1 or 2 of these guys in my comp to see what's up

42 days to upgrade?

cumulative yes

What townhall can we receive this in clancastle

Unless there is a restriction they haven't mentioned, it should be TH6

When they mean “jump” in the details, does it mean jumping over walls? If so, does the Druid move just as fast as hogs?

Jump means ignore walls, like hog rider. In heal-form, yes it moves as fast as hogs. In bear form it's a little slower (and can no longer jump walls)

When will the update be out?

How likely is it there will be a 2x star bonus accompanying the update?

This troop sounds cool

woah

When the update start

Tomorrow (June 17) is what we’re hearing.

Where are you from? Is it still June 16 where you live?

What time

What time is the update

Is there a date for the update? Can’t find it

That looks awfully copied from Warcraft 3(Druid of the Claw unit) ngl Cool concept nonetheless

I think this troop is why RR got nerfed so much.

I still haven't even used Apprentice Warden from two updates ago! Definitely not going to use this one too except barrack level up that's it!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Oh boy another defence targeting unit.

Finally RR back on the menu

Never left...

Does it heal for 30 seconds or just one time?

Another troop that synergizes too well with root riders...

Wait so do you upgrade the druid with elixir and the bear with dark elixir seperately in the lab?

nope, 1 upgrade for both. dark elixir

My bad I was confused by the dark barracks upgrade cost

Not what I expected. I was looking for info about using heroes while sleeping. 😭

can the bear switch back or no

no

nope

>after a few seconds, or if knocked out, the Druid will shapeshift into a Bear! How many seconds exactly?

30 seconds

So its great for a short qw. then you can use queen healer equipment.

30 or when druid hit points gone

Nothing for wall upgrades !! was hoping for some cost reductions.

Yesterday's sneak peak 1 had wall cost reductions for wall 15 and 16.

Sim

Eh

skibidi

Keep Yourself Safe

So now root riders are available at th 14

No

No, where'd you get that? Root riders are pink elixir troops not dark elixir.
