1) Disarmer

Here are the detailed stats:

DPS Level 6: 225 -> 220
DPS Level 7: 250 -> 240
DPS Level 8: 300 -> 260
DPS Level 9: 325 -> 280
DPS Level 10: 350 -> 300
DPS Level 11: 375 -> 320
DPS Level 12: 415 -> 340
HP Level 5: 3600 -> 3500
HP Level 6: 4400 -> 4000
HP Level 7: 4850 -> 4500
HP Level 8: 5300 -> 5000
HP Level 9: 5900 -> 5500
HP Level 10: 6500 -> 6000
HP Level 11: 7100 -> 6500
HP Level 12: 7800 -> 7000
Initial rage speed and damage boost halved
No longer targets air units
Defending Disarmer will respawn twice

The Disarmer troop, which was initially hailed as the most overpowered event troop ever, will be massively nerfed in the upcoming Clash of Clans balance changes. Starting April 14, 2025, she will no longer target air units, limiting her flexibility in diverse attack strategies.

Disarmer's initial power boost at the start of a battle – formerly granting damage boost and rage speed – will be halved, resulting in slower movement and reduced offensive output.

The unit's base health is also being scaled down across all levels. At level 12, her total hit points drop from 7,800 to 7,000. Considering she revives twice, this translates to a loss of 2,400 HP across her three lives. In terms of damage, her maximum DPS falls from 415 to 340, with similar reductions across lower levels.

Interestingly, while her offensive power is being dialed back, her defensive performance is receiving a slight boost in the upcoming Clash of Clans balance changes. Disarmer defenders will now revive twice instead of once, making her more formidable when defending against enemy attacks.

2) Kane

Kane will receive a relatively minor nerf in the Clash of Clans balance changes, reducing his DPS at Level 15 from 800 to 760. Many players might not even notice the change during attacks, as the 40 DPS drop is unlikely to significantly impact Kane's effectiveness on the battlefield.

Here are the Giant Giant's nerfs in the latest Clash of Clans balance changes:

DPS Level 14: 940 -> 920
DPS Level 15: 1020 -> 980
HP Level 14: 24000 -> 23500
HP Level 15: 26000 -> 25000

The Giant Giant will receive some tweaks, specifically at levels 14 and 15. These changes target higher Town Hall users. At level 14, the unit’s hit points will be reduced by 500, while at level 15, there's a steeper drop of 1,000 HP. Additionally, the Giant Giant’s damage output will be reduced slightly by 20 DPS at level 14 and 40 DPS at level 15.

4) Yeti's Mites

Lastly, the Yeti's mechanic is set to be altered by adjusting the housing space of its spawned Yeti Mites in the upcoming Clash of Clans balance changes. This small unit had become a critical part of clone-based attack strategies, with players deploying a single Yeti on the edge of a base and cloning its mites directly into the core to wreak havoc.

From April 15, 2025, each Yeti Mite will require two housing spaces instead of one. This will effectively reduce the number of mites that can be spawned and cloned, lessening their destructive potential and limiting the strategy’s overall value.
