Has the 'Clash Anytime' update made Clash of Clans less pay-to-win?

-

Hey all! I started as a casual player and took a break at TH13 when hero equipment was introduced, feeling the game was becoming too pay-to-win for my taste. I enjoy supporting mobile games with some spending but didn’t like feeling pressured to grind for hero equipment alongside my usual upgrades. Now that the ‘Clash Anytime’ update is here, I’m eager to jump back in! It sounds amazing—raiding whenever you want, stacking resources, and spending less time waiting for upgrades. Is this update really as good as it sounds, or am I getting my hopes up? Thanks!

Yeah, troop training frustrations have lessened, which might mean less necessity to spend money. The time to upgrade is still the biggest hurdle, so if you’re looking to get ahead, buying gems or special offers will definitely speed things up. As for hero equipment, since you missed some events, getting all the epic gear might take some time. But honestly, sticking to common equipment can keep you competitive without the insane grind. Plus, new epics are coming that might make older ones less relevant!

So I don’t have to stress over maxing out equipment to stay competitive? That’s a relief!

Absolutely! With the new update, you can fill your storage more easily and it’s cut down on the grind time. If you’re looking to buy hero equipment, though, keep in mind that you might have missed some events that made it easier to get them for free. They cost a chunk of gems or CWL medals now, but if you’re willing to spend, the WWE event offers a new equipment for free and the event pass might snag you some extras at a better price.
