Supercell has revealed the first sneak peek of the December 2024 update for Clash of Clans. It was already confirmed that the big highlight of the incoming update is the arrival of Town Hall 17, so it should come as no surprise that this is what's leading the sneak peeks.
Upgrading to Town Hall 17 will cost 20 million Gold and will require 15 days. You'll also need to have Town Hall Level 16 and Eagler Artillery Level 7. This is because Eagle Artillery will be merged into the Town hall to start the upgrade, a move that can not be undone.
As a result, you'll unlock the Inferno Artillery. This launches 4 enemy-seeking explosives and leaves burning pools of fire where it strikes. If there are fewer than four enemies in range, it can strike the same target multiple times. Although the projectiles do not do splash damage, any ground or flying troops in the area of the fire pools will receive damage over time.
Upgrading to Town Hall 17 will unlock the new Giga Bomb, plus the following:
- x1 Archer Tower
- x1 Multi-Archer Tower
- REQUIRES: x2 Level 21 Archer Towers
- x1 Ricochet Cannon
- REQUIRES: x2 Level 21 Cannons
- x1 Giant Bomb
- x1 Seeking Air Mine
With Town Hall 17 will also come all new levels for storage buildings, walls, heroes, troops, and more.
Two particular buildings you'll want to take note of are the upgrades to the Barracks (Level 18) and Spell Factory (Level 8). Tomorrow's update will provide more details on what special upgrades these buildings will be receiving. Meanwhile, Sneak Peek 3 will reveal a special new building.
Naturally, with all of these new building and troop levels, the update will feature a wave of time and resource cost reductions across the lower Town Hall levels. Here are the updated cost an time reductions:
As for the Giga Bomb, this is a deadly new trap. Unlike other traps, this is fully visible but still deals massive damage while pushing enemies back. It has a 4.5 tile area of effect for damage with a 3.5 tile trigger radius. It can be upgraded to level 3:
That wraps up all that is new with Town Hall 17, but the December update will also feature quality-of-life improvements and numerous bug fixes. You can read all about the latest improvements and fixes here.
