Mobile game developer Supercell is on a roll with Clash of Clans , seeing its first increase in year-over-year revenue since 2015. The news comes as little surprise after the stellar performance of the release of the new Gold Pass in May of 2019, giving players long-desired cosmetics and additional ways to earn in-game resources through the implementation of a model similar to the ever-popular Battle Pass which first began to see prevalence throughout the video game industry following its success in Epic Games’ Fortni

Along with the challenge was the introduction of the new Shadow Warden skin, a Legendary Grand Warden skin available for purchase in the in-game shop. Like all Legendary skins in Clash of Clans , the Shadow Warden will cost players $9.99. A new Shadow Scenery background for players’ bases is also available in the shop. The new shop items are available until April 18, so players looking to finish their Shadow collection have just less than two weeks to do

A classic attack for beginners. Barbarians and archers are the first two troops you unlock in Clash of Clans. As your army is still in its infancy, it is best to master one of the most basic attacks in the game; barbarian/archer. The concept is simple. Barbarians can take more hits than archers can, so you're going to want to send them in first to soak up hits and distract the enemy's weapons. As they are attacking the exterior of the enemy base, send out your archers behind them. They will rain arrows on anything and everything in the way of your remaining barbarians, until the base has been destroyed. It is important to try to keep your troops as spread out as possible in this attack, as enemy mortars and wizard towards can take out huge chunks of your army if they are bunched toget

Wait for the troops to destroy some enemy structures. The timing is important here, so make sure to deploy all your Hog Riders and the Royal Champions just before the destruction of Gold Storage on the North-West of the map. Try to protect Hog Riders by Grand Warden's ability. Now that Cannons are distracted, deploy the King on the South-West of the map and let him deal with the outside structures above the Firecrack

The Town Hall 13 upgrade looks fantastic and is built with the newest innovations in Dark Elixir technology. As seen in the preview video above, the new defensive structure for Town Hall 13 is the Giga Inferno that will target attackers once within its ra

A new **Clash of Clans ** season means new challenges and rewards to unlock. Supercell introduced a new Shadow Challenge for players to complete alongside a new skin available for purchase in the in-game shop. The new Shadow theme was introduced to the game earlier this year with the arrival of the Shadow Queen skin during the January season’s Gold Pass, and again in March with the Shadow Champion s

The newest Hero also arrives after unlocking Town Hall 13 and is the Royal Champion. The fourth Hero can leap over walls and throw her spear, while her Seeking Shield will hit the nearest four defenses at any range. In a quality of life improvement, all Heroes will now appear to be much smarter, acting in ways that favor self-preservation over mindless death. Heroes will attempt to save themselves and sue Abilities if they take damage that would otherwise kill them. This can be disabled in More Settings, but it is a great addition for most play

The Shadow theme is arguably one of the biggest themes Supercell has made for Clash of Clans since the Jungle theme in the Town Hall 14 update, but many players were left annoyed that they have to pay even more money to complete the set. Together with the underwhelming reward for completing the Shadow Challenge, some players saw this theme as a miss. Despite the additional cost, the Shadow cosmetics are some of the best-looking ones in the game, and many players are happy to pay the extra money since the game itself has remained free-to-play for so many ye

While the performance for 2019 looks impressive, it pales in comparison to the height of the game’s popularity in 2015. Clash of Clans was first released in 2012 for iOS, and 2013 for Android devi

Katee Sackhoff: We'll see. [Laughs] We'll see. Listen, there's gonna be a lot of Mandalorians this season. That is evident by the trailer, and I think that we know that a lot of these clans have different ideologies. Clashes are bound to hap
