Supercell took the Clash of Clans servers down recently to implement a round of balance changes. For the most part, they target the novel Clash-O-Ween troops.

Additional balance changes were also applied to the Builder Base.

These buffs and nerfs are relativley small in comparison to the balance changes made earlier in the month which impacted troops and buildings in both the Clan Capital and Home Village.

That said, here is a look at the October balance changes in Clash of Clans.

New Clash Of Clans Balance Changes Target Clash-O-Ween Troops

As we mentioned earlier, the main target of the balance changes are the four seasonal troops from the Clash-O-Ween event. The Lavaloon has undoubtedly been incredibly powerful - somewhat expected given that it is a combination of two strong troops - so it has been nerfed.

However, the three other units have underperformed and so, have their power levels increased. The Barcher and Big Boys (summoned by the Witch Golems) see their DPS increased. Meanwhile, the Hog Wizard's HP has seen a boost.

Here is a closer look at these changes.
