The eagerly awaited Spring 2018 update for Clash of Clans has officially arrived.
Previewed over these last few days, the update makes live plenty of exciting, new features including: new magic items (Builder Potions, Runes, Ring of Walls), new Clan Game challenges, an intriguing Trader traveling merchant, and more.
Previously detailed, the Trader is a traveling merchant who, starting at Town Hall 8, will frequent your Village to sell his exotic wares. Setting shop on the other side of the Clan path, across from the Clan Games carriage, the Trader will have 3 special deals for you each day.
The Spring 2018 update brings balance changes to both the original Town Hall village, as well as the recently added Builder Base, which introduces Builder Hall 8. This new Builder Hall level brings new troops and troop levels, additional buildings (including a new defensive building), and much more.
