Clash of Clans January balance changes - Recall spell buffs, bug fixes, and more

Supercell launched its flagship strategy game, Clash of Clans, over a decade ago for iOS/iPadOS and Android. All these years, the free-to-play game has managed to sustain its active user base courtesy of frequent changes and updates that Supercell rolls out.

The most recent changes the developers have rolled out include bug fixes and optimizations to a few gameplay features. The game went on a maintenance break a few hours back, as confirmed by the developers:

"Hey Chiefs! We'll take a maintenance break in about half an hour to deploy a small batch of balance changes, as well as a couple of bug fixes. Please note that old replays will no longer be available afterwards - we apologize for the inconvenience."

Balance changes for January 2023 are live in Clash of Clans, and readers can learn about them in the following section.
