While the official sneak peek to the upcoming update hasn't been released yet, developer Supercell already revealed many things that "Clash of Clans" players will receive once the October 2016 update rolls out. Aside from game balancing, an Army Training tab redesign and the Quick Train options will also arrive.

"In this sizable round of balancing changes, we're continuing to develop Town Hall 11 gameplay, boost underperforming units, and ease some high level upgrades. We've also taken a look at Clan Wars XP and war loot rules," the announcement said.

The new Skeleton Spell can now summon up to 26 skeletons, but it will have a longer cooldown time. The Clone Spell will now have a longer effect on the cloned troops, but the Bowler will now have a lesser attack point.

Other balancing adjustments that will arrive are the new Wizard level 7 of Town Hall (TH) 10, while the Wizard level 6 will be at TH 9. A new Mortar level 10 for TH 11 will also arrive, while Mortar level 8-9's damage level will be slightly increased to bring back its defensive punch. The Hidden Tesla level 9 for TH11 will have its 2x damage rule removed in favor of the P.E.K.K.A. gameplay.

Town Hall 11 will also receive an upgrade that includes Dragon level 6, X-Bow level 5 and 25 additional Wall pieces. Upgrade discounts will also be available to the Wizard, Dragon, Baby Dragon, Cannon, Archer Towers, and Mortar, among others.

Supercell also announced the Army Training and Quick Train on Twitter. The upcoming update will now include an army training icon on the left-hand side of the screen. Four tabs will then show up upon clicking the icon, Army, Train Troops, Brew Spells, and Quick Train. These tabs will then act as some sort of an organizer during battle, for the troops and spells that are armed and ready for disposal. Players can also heal heroes, request assistance from clan mates, and personalize the tabs to save the most used army combos.

The "Clash of Clans" October 2016 update is expected to arrive soon.
