Supercell removes the Clash of Clans Grand Warden’s Statue during raids
Reports have emerged on social media regarding Supercell removing the Clash of Clans Grand Warden’s Statue during raids. This seems to be a new change that will be introduced with the Clash of Clans Town Hall 17 update. Many expected the developers to introduce a buff for defenders after the game’s community voiced their opinion about the Grand Warden’s poor defensive skills and how it was becoming increasingly difficult to defend.
This article will explain how the removal of the Clash of Clans Grand Warden's statue during raids will affect defenders.
Removal of the Clash of Clans Grand Warden’s Statue: How it impacts the game
The Grand Warden is one of the best support heroes in Clash of Clans. When attacking, he is a supporter who attacks enemies while healing your other heroes and troops simultaneously. However, when your village gets attacked, he turns into the Clash of Clans Grand Warden’s statue, a tower that attacks nearby enemies.
This Clash of Clans Grand Warden’s statue mode seems to be one of the character's major flaws during defense compared to other heroes. Since other heroes can physically move around the village when raided, the Grand Warden’s statue remains stationary, only defending a specific area.
Therefore, this tweak in the Grand Warden’s behavior when your village is being raided will be a huge benefit, making defending easier. This was seen in a post by Clash UpdateX. He will now move around your village, attacking all enemy troops on the ground and in the air. Moreover, he also might aid other nearby heroes in your village, healing them as they defend your buildings.
This change to the Clash of Clans Grand Warden's Statue during raids seems to be a boon for defenders, as the community has been complaining about his lackluster statue mode. However, many players still commented on Clash UpdateX's post that they liked the Clash of Clans Grand Warden's Statue since it was unique compared to other heroes.
What’s more in store in the next major Clash of Clans update?
With the launch of the Clash of Clans Town Hall 17 update next month, players will get new defensive weapons like the Inferno Artillery. Defenders will also get another buff with the introduction of the explosive Bomb Trap. Additionally, the game will increase the upgrade caps of all troops and buildings by one, including walls.
