Clash of Clones Icons/Button: A How to Find Guide

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Clash of Clones is here and with it comes a whole new set of buttons and icons for your town.  Confused about where to find this or what something means?  Well we’re here to break it all down for you!  So let’s check out how to find everything you’ll need for this event and what it all means….

After you build your Barbarian Castle your Springfield will covert over to the Clash of Clones event and your main Springfield screen will look something like this:

So what do all these new icons mean?  Let’s break it down….everything circled in red is what’s new:

Just above your Level box (bottom left) you’ll see the 3 icons for the event, I like to call this your on hand indicator. Here’s what those mean (from left to right):

 this guy shows your Nerd total (my town had 12 currently to send out.  This is NOT your max per town…this is just how many nerds you currently have on hand)

 How much Elixir you currently have on hand.  This will go up and down as you earn more Elixir and buy more things with Elixir (also Leveling up Castles will take away Elixir)

 How much Gold you currently have on hand.  This will NOT decrease for any reason.  Your Gold total will only increase…even if you Level up your Characters and Claim prizes you will not lose Gold.

If you tap on the ? mark icon next to the Gold it will bring up the Event Guide:

Ok so now that we’ve got the on hand indicator figured out…let’s jump over to the right side of the main Springfield screen:

Let’s start at the top….with those 2 indicators:

 This one will send you to attack a Random Springfield.  So when you tap on it you’ll automatically go to a random Springfield to attack.  It will take you to the Castle, if it’s available to attack.  However, if the castle is already under attack it will take you to an open house to attack.

 This one indicates how many Cheaters 20 you currently have on hand.  Cheaters can be used to instantly attack a Castle/building OR to defend/repair all attacked/destroyed buildings in your town.  (more info on cheaters here)  Currently you cannot use cheaters until you’ve won them on the prize chart (3rd prize).  At that point you’ll be able to start using them and this icon will appear in your town (note…it may not appear right away.  You may have to go to another town and come back to your town for it to show up).  To use a cheater in your town simply tap on this icon and follow the instructions on the screen.

Now to the bottom right….

 This is your access to the entire event.  All of the content to buy and the prizes can easily be accessed through this button.  Once you tap on it you’ll be take to your castle screen and 3 new icons will pop up on the bottom right of your screen:

The first three icons are repeating what you saw on the main screen.

 Will tell you the Cheaters you have on hand to use.

 Tells you the defense level of your town.  You increase your defense levels by leveling up your castles.  So this number will increase as you level up your castles and increase your defense.  More on defending your Springfield here.

And again the ? will take you to the event info page.

Below those top icons you have the castle overviews.  When they’re all unlocked they’ll look like this:

Note: You’ll also see on this one, when the nerds are maxed out they’ll show up in red. 

Tapping the i next to the castle will give you a quick view on how many nerds you’ll earn every 2 hrs for each castle:

Tapping on view will take you right to that castle.  You can tap on the castle again to see the castle stats.  Each castle will give you an overview of that castle and show you the characters associated with that castle.  Here’s a look at the Barbarian Castle at it’s most basic point:

Again you’ll see your Nerd, Elixir & Gold count across the top.  Then below it you’ll see what Level the Castle is currently at, how much it’ll cost to Level up and how your Nerd Training is going.

As you progress in the game your characters will be added to it as well, and you’ll see their Level and progress as well.  Here’s how the Castle Looks after you’ve added Homer:

The Barbarian Castle will show you Homer and Marge’s progress (when you unlock her), Castle Recycle will show you Lisa’s progress and Boxingham Palace will show you Bart’s progress.

Now back to those other two icons at the bottom of the Event Screen…

 This icon will show you the Prize list, and everything you can win via the event…

 And this one will take you to the event section of the store.   It will show you all the items you can purchase for the Clash of Clans Event.

So there you have it my tapping friends….all the details behind the icons and buttons for the new event!
