The highly anticipated Clash of Clans December update is here that will see several changes to the game including Super Miner as a new troop and Skeleton Park as a new Capital District along with several other minor tweaks.

Super Miners finally come to the game as the latest super troop after a month-long of teasing. Super Miners flaunt a moustache and possess the ability to drill through everything. They deal heavy damage and are available in Town Hall 13.

The highly anticipated new Capital District is here, namely the Skeleton Park which unlocks when Capital Hall reaches level 8. A new Capital District will be met with a new Capital Troop. The Inferno Dragon has finally arrived which will be complemented by the introduction of Graveyard Spell and Mini-Minion Hive & Reflector as new Capital spells and defences respectively. Ram Rider has been introduced in the game as the seasonal troops that will be available for the duration of the holiday season.
