The Retired Anchor statue was first introduced during the Black Friday sales in November 2020. It was part of a limited-time shop offer priced at USD $4.00, which also included a Book of Heroes and a Builder Potion, making it an excellent deal for players focused on progression. The decoration depicts a massive, barnacle-encrusted anchor resting on a bed of sand and sea grass, perfectly fitting the 'nautical' or 'pirate' themes that Supercell has explored with various sceneries and hero skins. Due to its popularity, it was brought back exactly two years later in November 2022 for a slightly lower price of USD $3.00, though the accompanying rewards were different. This re-release is rare for paid decorations, which typically stay exclusive to their launch window, making the Retired Anchor a bit more common than other Black Friday items. Community perception is very positive; it is considered one of the most 'thematic' decorations, especially when used with the Pirate Scenery or placed near the water at the edge of the Home Village. Its 2x2 size and muted color palette make it a subtle addition that adds a sense of history and 'lived-in' detail to the base. For many players, it represents the seafaring adventures of the Clash world and serves as a tribute to the game's expansion into maritime aesthetics. It is purely cosmetic but remains a favorite for players who enjoy creating cohesive, story-driven layouts. As of now, it is only obtainable if Supercell decides to bring it back for a future Black Friday event, or through extremely lucky Treasure Chest drops.
