Start from a situation:

Your Town Hall

Show only levels available to me

TH18 is the current maximum. Greyed Town Halls are below this unit's unlock.

Should I upgrade?

rule of thumb: 8% or more

Nothing to upgrade at TH14

Your level is the cap for TH14. Next level needs TH15.

Impact: No change until the next Town Hall.

What the last balance changed

Official notes · 9 Jul 2026

Date: 9 Jul 2026
Old value: Not published as numbers
New value: A modest healing bump at the top levels.
Source: Official balance notes

For your army: A small nudge for a troop that works well but is picked rarely; healing at the top levels is slightly higher. Supercell did not say how many levels.

The 9 Jul 2026 update changed Dragon Duke, Dragon Rider, Logger, Electro Dragon, Meteor Golem and Druid. Supercell's stated goal was to reduce Dragon-heavy TH18 armies: Dragon armies were roughly 20% of TH18-vs-TH18 war attacks, and Dragon plus Thrower-Healer armies roughly 40%.
