Hello Clash Community,
Before we get into the meat of this week's Patch Notes, I have three words for you: ASCENT OF CHAMPIONS!
This week marks the start of this year's Clash anniversary celebration. The whole event will be three weeks long, and get better and better each week. The main theme is the ascent of the Mountain of Champions. The Normal Zone will be pretty easy as it is supposed to be beatable by even some of the newest players, and you will not be able to reset it until after the anniversary is over. However after the Anniversary is over you will be able to reset it to other difficulties that should pose a challenge to players of all power levels! The Summit of the Mountain of Champions is a place where you will find out how heroic you really are.
Part of the main theme is the community collection of Laurels, which the community will use each week to bypass the Gate Keeper to get to the Summit of the mountain. There is a tutorial on the home page that will explain how this works and where these laurels drop ( do not worry there are tons of places that drop laurels for free players and pay players alike).
Also this anniversary is bringing some new crafts, recipes, updating some old items, and a new Anniversary Pack. The Anniversary Pack has a chance to drop any pack card that is not currently in the core set or the Uprising set. It is also Epic+ and contains Laurels and Arete Tokens which can be used to improve the newly released Powerflux cards. A Best Value Bundle ( similar to the Dragon Chest ) is in the advanced shop, and has even more value than before!
Each new brawl will drop crafts for a new Battle-Forged card, as well as common and uncommon versions of the new Powerflux cards (of which there will be several throughout the event). We have enhanced all of the Chests of Untold Riches, so that while they still contain the same basic content as before, they now drop a craft item that crafts Draft Packs, 2nd Core/Uprising Fortune Packs, and Uprising Packs, instead of Energy Potions and Skill Points. Also there is a new Epic card in the Qwiladrian Power Stones recipes.
I don't want to spoil all the surprises now, but please explore the game and make sure you play each week as we will be unveiling new content and maybe totally new features in the coming weeks.
