Supercell's massively popular game Clash of Clans recently had an update at the first of this month, and it was one of the biggest Summer updates in a while.  Here is a list of Clash of Clans July and Summer Updates features, as well as some Tips on how to make the most of them. 

According to Gotta Be Mobile, the new Clash of Clans summer update is the biggest in nine months.  The recent update, which took place on July 1st, added on more features and additions.  It required a two hour maintenance break in order to complete the changes on July 1st, but most fans are very satisfied with the updates.  Some have reported some bugs involved, but they were resolved as well. 

The update includes three new CoC Dark Spell Elixirs, a new Legend League tournament, Dragons that are Level 5, Spell queues, and the Dark Spell Factory.  Dark Spells only take 1 unit of capacity as opposed to the 2 units that regular spells take up, and fans of Clash of Clans will be excited to know that players can now queue spells like regular troops. 

AllClash reports that the first Dark Elixir Spell is the Poison spell, which will drain health out of defending troops.  This will be a lot better than that Lightning Spell, and get rid of troops faster. 

Then there the second of three Dark Elixir Spells known as the Earthquake Spell, and it is designed to damage walls and buildings in the game.  This spell is not designed to take a certain amount of hit points, but it takes a certain percentage of the buildings' hit points, dealing this amount of damage within a whole area. 

The third Dark Elixir Spell is known as the Haste Spell, and it will speed up the player's troops, without a damage boost of a Rage Spell. 

In addition to the Dark Spells category, there will be new League Levels, the Titan League and the Legend League.  There will also be some changes to all the players above 3,200 Trophies as the game will add a Champions 3 to Champions 1 League as it works with all the other Leagues.  Titan 3-1 requires 4,100 Trophies to 4,999 Trophies, and the Legend League is at 5,000 Trophies.  So far, no one is Legend as yet. 

For those unfamiliar with Clash of Clans, it is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game that uses strategy elements.  It was released to iOS in 2012, and quickly because a very huge success.  It then came to Android about one year later, and its following continues to grow as it now has up to 150 million installs on iOS with over 100 million on Android. 

The game is all about building cities and then tearing down other enemy strongholds in order to get gold and elixir required to make your stronghold stronger.  The player starts out going against goblins, and then builds a town in order to stop invasions as well as invading those of other players, or clan war. If you are looking to cheat in Clash of Clans, you have options.  It is pretty easy to find sites devoted to cheating at the game, such as iMore and Supercheats.
