Online multiplayer strategy game Clash of Clans has acquired some new abilities. Version 5.172 is packed to the brim with new features, so be sure to check it out if you’re a fan of the game.

In this new release, Heroes have special abilities that can be activated once per battle, including the Iron Fist and Royal Cloak.

Players get flyers, freezers, and new boosts, and new plant growth is being rewarded with more gems. Some interface improvements are noted, such as Chat being available when away from your village, a relocated Friends List, and more.

The usual balance tweaks are also included, along with an army of “bug fixes, tweaks and performance improvements.”

To download Clash of Clans, players need iOS 4.3 or later and a compatible iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. The game displays natively on all device types.
