The popular mobile game "Clash of Clans" was recently updated again to version 8.551.18. The latest update is just a minor one since it brought in some Halloween touches to the game. However, developer Supercell also decided to roll out some bug fixes.

The announcement stated that, since it is "that spooky time of the year," the studio is offering Boost Spell brewing for 1 GEM, as well as cheaper and faster training for Skeleton Spells, Witches, Balloons, and Wall Breakers. This is just for the Halloween season, so gamers should take advantage of while it is available. The end date for the event was not mentioned.

"Beware: chilling surprises are known to appear during this very spooky time of year," the studio added.

Several bug fixes were also implemented and included in the update, and included is a bug fix related to the drag and drop feature in the army training wherein players were not able to drag their troops to train. It is also now easier to check the contents of the Clan Castle during battle. The Train Troops and Brew Spells counter (upper left) in the UI also experienced some tweaks.

Additionally, Clans will now be able to receive Friendly War invites even on "Closed" setting. The "not enough eligible members" error has been fixed on the 5 vs. 5 Friendly Wars, while the clan chat will not be stuck any longer when an old Friendly War invite has been pushed off.

The option to Accept or Reject a Friend War will now only involve the leader and co-leader, and it is now disabled for elder members. The text that shows the war win bonus percentage is also now fixed, plus a few more additional features.

Two weeks ago, the October update was released for "Clash of Clans" that brought in new contents such as the Bomb Tower for Town Hall 8, new troop levels for Dragon, Baby Dragon and Wizard, and 25 more wall pieces for Town Hall 11. The game also received several adjustments on creation time, cost creation increase, Clan Wars matchmaking, Clan Wars loot, and Clan XP.

"Clash of Clans" is available for devices running Android and iOS systems.
