Clash of Clans Update Town Hall 17 - Full Patch Notes

"A NEW HERO SOARS INTO THE HOME VILLAGE: Say hello to the Minion Prince: a brand-new flying Hero that specializes in dealing damage from above and weakening Defenses. Minion Prince is available to all players Town Hall 9 and higher.

HERO HALL IS HERE! Now that there are five Heroes, things are getting a little cramped. So, we decided to remove Altars and place all your Heroic essentials in the Hall!

• You can choose which Hero will be the attacking Hero and which one will be defending your Home Village.

• There are up to four (Town Hall 13 and higher) active Hero slots that you can choose from to put either defensive or offensive Heroes in.

• Assign Heroes to Hero Banners and position them in your Village to customize your Hero Defenses!

• View Hero Skins like never before with a fresh new 3D view of your Heroes from the Hall. Heroism is handsome!

• Maximum Hero upgrade levels now depend on the level of the Hero Hall."

Helper Hut

• Helper Hut - brand-new 3x3 building in your Home Village (Town Hall 9 and above) which will help you manage both Builder Apprentice and the Lab Assistant!

  • The Lab Assistant helps speed up research upgrades in the Laboratory. 

  • Level 1 Lab Assistant can be hired for free.

New Town Hall Weapon: Inferno Artillery 

• Shoots 4 projectiles at the same time that look for different targets. If there are less than 4 targets, they will shoot the same targets.
• Each projectile damages its target (no splash), and it leaves an area effect that does damage over time to all ground and flying Troops in the area.
• This weapon is always active.
• The Town Hall 17 Building does not have the death bomb anymore, so when destroyed, it is simply… destroyed!

New Trap: Giga Bomb

• This Trap is always visible. It does massive damage in a large area and has strong pushback.

New Defense: Firespitter

• Aimed defenses like the Air Sweeper, where players need to pick an aim direction, and a cone will show the area that is covered by the Firespitter. Only Troops in this area will be targeted.
• The Firespitter has extremely fast attack speed (Faster than X-Bow), but it also lacks precision, which means the shots can miss the target, hitting Troops behind the main target of the Firespitter.
• Projectiles may hit both ground and air Troops no matter if the defense's target is ground or air.

New Troop: Thrower!

• This Elixir Troop targets anything at long range and has high HP.

New Spell: Revive!

• This Elixir Spell brings a defeated Hero back to the attack with some amount of health.
• When the Revive Spell is used, it targets the closest defeated Hero within an 8-tile range.
• This Spell can be used multiple times on the same Hero whenever they get defeated.
• The Revive Spell is available at Town Hall 15 and above.

New Building, Trap, Troop, Spell, and Siege Levels!

• From new Traps and Siege Machines to Troops getting new levels, we are introducing a lot of new upgrades that you will be able to do in Town Hall 17 across the board.
