Clash of Clans Removes Training Time in Massive March 2025 Update: Everything You Need to Know

The March 2025 “Clash Anytime” update is bringing one of the biggest changes Clash of Clans has seen in years — the complete removal of Troop, Spell, and Siege Machine training times. While this has sparked some confusion in the community, here’s a full breakdown of what the changes mean and how they’ll affect your gameplay.

🚫 No More Training Time

Years ago, Supercell removed training costs — now they’re taking things even further by eliminating training time entirely. That means you’ll be able to instantly build your army and jump into battle whenever you want. No waiting. No delays. Just pure action.

🛠️ New Army UI & Army Recipes

A redesigned Army Management UI is on the way, offering a cleaner and more intuitive experience. Heroes now appear on a larger interface, and everything — troops, spells, pets, and clan castle units — is neatly displayed in one place.

The new Army Recipe feature lets you save, load, and switch between full army setups. Whether you're farming, pushing trophies, or participating in wars, this feature makes swapping strategies quick and easy — especially for high-level and competitive players.

💰 Unlimited Loot, But No Abuse

With no training time, you might wonder if there’s now a limit on how much loot you can earn. The answer? No limits — battle as often as you like and collect as much loot as your storage and builders can handle.

To prevent abuse (especially from bots), Supercell is introducing a simple but effective safeguard: you can’t start another attack until your current one is fully completed. This applies across Home Village, Builder Base, and Clan Capital.

🏰 Faster Clan Castle Donations

Troop donations are also changing. Instead of training units, you can now donate instantly using Elixir or Dark Elixir. The one-gem donation option still remains, and players can freely switch between resource and gem donations.

Donation cooldowns are being shortened too: from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, and down to just 2 minutes for Gold Pass holders — making it easier than ever to keep Clan Castles full and ready.

🏆 Trophy System Adjustments

To prevent players from skyrocketing through the ranks due to unlimited battles, trophy rewards for one- and two-star wins are being reduced. This encourages consistent, high-performance attacks to climb the ladder at a balanced pace.

While Legend League changes weren’t part of this update, Supercell hinted that adjustments for top-tier players are on the horizon.

🌐 Match Anytime System

To eliminate long matchmaking wait times ("the clouds"), Supercell is rolling out a new backend system called Match Anytime. This system ensures that you always have a base to attack — even if it’s currently under a shield.

If you attack a shielded base, you’ll still earn loot and trophies, but the defender loses nothing. This promotes regular shield usage, allowing players to protect their progress while staying competitive.

Final Thoughts

The “Clash Anytime” update represents a major shift in how Clash of Clans is played. With instant armies, unlimited battles, and a smarter UI, Supercell is clearly focused on streamlining gameplay while still balancing fairness.

Whether you're a casual builder or a hardcore Legend League pusher, March 2025 is going to change the game for everyone.
