The second half of the November 2025 update is here, new Revenge Tower, new Totem Spell, three new Crafted Defenses, the all-new Fancy Shop (with Sparky Stones currency), and ranked-mode improvements.
Revenge Tower
The angrier your base gets, the deadlier it becomes.
- Starts inactive at 0 buildings destroyed.
- At 5 buildings destroyed → Single-target, high-damage, slow attack.
- At 20 buildings destroyed → faster fire rate + attack bounces to 2 targets.
- At 40 buildings destroyed → rapid fire with 3-target bounce.
Totem Spell
A walking distraction just landed.
- Deploys a massive Totem that soaks up fire from both ground and air defenses.
- On impact: light damage + brief stun to defenses/troops (forces retarget).
- Unlocked at TH16 via the new Spell Factory level.
- 4 levels total: 2 @ TH16, 1 @ TH17, 1 @ TH18.
- ~10 000 HP — it’s tankier than most tanks.
- 6-tile radius stun/damage zone.
- Special rules:
- Doesn’t trigger Rage/Poison Towers, traps, CC troops.
- Immune to Ice Block, Clone, and Recall.
- If dropped on a building, spawns beside it instead.
Crafted Defenses
Three new builds, one longer season (4 months).
- Old Crafted Defenses are retired — refunds issued automatically.
- TH17 no longer supports Crafted Defenses (ineligibility notice shown).
- New lineup kicks off Season 2 with upgradeable modules and pop-up guidance.
Hero Bell
- Doesn’t attack — instead buffs defensive Heroes’ HP + DPS.
- Buff ends when the building is destroyed.
- Upgrade Modules: Building HP | Hero HP | Hero DPS
Light Beam
- Single-target damage, hits ground + air.
- Projectiles lose power over distance — closer = stronger hit.
- Upgrade Modules: Building HP | Damage per Hit | Attack Cooldown
Bomb Hive
- Splash damage to ground + air.
- Fires bombs along preset directions until impact or max range.
- Upgrade Modules: Building HP | Damage per Hit | Range

Ranked Improvements
Sharper competition, cleaner rules.

- Matchmaking less predictable for fairer pairings.
- Promotion/Demotion tuning: most mid-high Leagues get +5% promotion; Leagues 28–31 also gain +5% demotion; some upper tiers see slight battle count reductions.
