Clash of Clans turned 14 on August 2, 2026, and Supercell opened its August season the day before. Called The Awesome Quest, it is built around a brand-new event, Clash of Cards, where the game's troops become trading cards to collect and swap. > **Update, October 26, 2026:** the season ended on August 31. [Card trading closed](https://supercell.com/en/games/clashofclans/blog/news/clash-of-cards-event/) on September 2 at 08:00 UTC, though the collection stays viewable from the Clash of Cards decoration. The [WWE: Search for Cena](https://after-strategy.com/en/clash-of-clans-wwe-search-for-cena-diggy-level-15-september-2026/) season took over on September 1. ## Clash of Cards: a collection built with your clan From August 1 to 31, every player at Town Hall 3 and above collects troop cards. Packs come from battles, events and the Supercell Store. The Card Hunt event gives two a day in battle, plus ten at the start, for up to 68 cards from attacking alone. ![Clash of Clans — official August 2026 season artwork with troop cards](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/clash-of-clans-14-ans-clashiversary-2026/screenshot-1.webp) Duplicates work as currency. You can offer them to clanmates through Clan Chat, or convert them at the Trader: two duplicates of the same card give a random card, and three give a Super Troop card. At launch, a trade needs both players online at the same time, and Supercell says it wants to fix that. Gems can complete a trade when nobody has the duplicate you need. Collection milestones unlock rewards: 5,000 Shiny Ore for 20 different cards, 2 Builder Potions for 50, then the Manga Fury Prince skin at 60 different cards. The trading window closes on September 2 at 08:00 UTC. ## Gold Pass: the Tempest Champion skin The August Gold Pass, active from August 1 to 31, offers the Tempest Champion skin for the Royal Champion as an exclusive. Supercell presents her as an already-crowned champion climbing Mount Awesome. Blueprint CoC gives her lightning-themed armor and notes that the pass also carries its usual boosts for training, builders and magic items. The official calendar also dates five more hero skins: King Barbarian on August 5, Elven Archer on the 7th, Drakan Duke on the 9th, Lich Prince on the 11th and Grand Mage on the 13th. ## Three Crafted Defenses open from Town Hall 11 On August 1, the Crafting Station offers three new Crafted Defenses: Cake-A-Pult, Hero Hunter and Hot Candle. To celebrate the anniversary, Supercell opens them from Town Hall 11, which widens the audience for these crafted defenses considerably. Blueprint CoC describes how they work. Hot Candle fires six projectiles and burns down to four, then three. Hero Hunter hunts heroes, and Cake-A-Pult lobs explosive cakes. Supercell publishes no stats in its announcement, so their weight in Clan War will only show in practice. ## The month's calendar - **August 1-11:** Clan War League, in 15v15 or 30v30. - **August 3-5:** 100 Totem Spells and 15 Birthday Boom Spells handed out, and the anniversary cake returns to the battlefield. - **From August 6:** Chief's Chronicles, the game's first year-in-review, which ends with a Chief archetype and a statue. - **August 9-10:** 50 Elephant Riders and 20 Super Valkyries added to your army for 24 hours. - **August 12-31:** Awesome Medal Event, with the Elephant Rider as a temporary troop. - **August 15-17 and 29-31:** Resource Fest, with collectors at 4x. - **August 22-28:** Clan Games. - **August 26-31:** Revenge Deck Boost, which raises the Epic Equipment to the maximum level your Hero Hall allows. ![Clash of Clans — Chief's Chronicles title screen, the year-in-review of your village](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/clash-of-clans-14-ans-clashiversary-2026/screenshot-2.webp) ## What matters for players The Tempest Champion skin is purely cosmetic. What matters is Clash of Cards: the collection is won through trading with your clan far more than through the number of battles. If your clan is not very active, the need to be online together will weigh on trades. For the Crafted Defenses, the question stays open. It remains to be seen whether their effects truly change war bases or simply add to them. ## Going further - [All our Clash of Clans articles](https://after-strategy.com/en/jeux/clash-of-clans/) - [Barbarian's Odyssey and the July 2026 Summer Jam](https://after-strategy.com/en/clash-of-clans-barbarians-odyssey-summer-jam-july-2026/) - [WWE: Search for Cena, the September 2026 season](https://after-strategy.com/en/clash-of-clans-wwe-search-for-cena-diggy-level-15-september-2026/) - [Official Clash of Cards announcement (Supercell)](https://supercell.com/en/games/clashofclans/blog/news/clash-of-cards-event/) ## Sources - - - - - - - - - Source : [Clash of Clans Turns 14: Clash of Cards, Tempest Champion and the August Season](https://after-strategy.com/en/clash-of-clans-14th-anniversary-clashiversary-2026/) — After Strategy
