Clash of Clans Town Hall 16 Update – Everything You Need To Know

The Clash of Clans Town Hall 16 Update released this week, adding the highly coveted Town Hall 16. Overall, it's crazy to think we made it this far in Clash of Clans, a game that originally offered only eight town hall upgrades. In 10 years, Supercell managed to double the number, keeping one of the most popular mobile games of all time running for years to come.

The new Town Hall 16 comes with a singular Giga Inferno weapon, and a poisoning effect when destroyed. Additionally, the weapon itself targets multiple enemies in both the ground and air. Additionally, like other Town Hall upgrades, this one allows players to upgrade several other buildings.

Clash of Clans Town Hall 16 Update – Merged Defenses:

Supercell added an ability to merge defensive towers within the game. Firstly, you'll want to know these three rules:

• Merging buildings is permanent. Once they have been merged, they cannot be unmerged.
• The merged building can be placed anywhere in your Village where there is space.
• The two merged buildings must be max level.

These merged defense towers become powerful than their individual counterparts, take up less space, and can be upgraded further. Overall, you definitely want to look into this idea moving forward. Nevertheless, the new merged defenses include the:

• Multi-Archer Tower – 2x Archer Towers
  • Shoots 3 Arrows at once (all three if only one target)
  • Range: 10 tiles
  • Damage type: Multiple targets
  • # of targets: 3
  • Targets: Ground & Air
• Ricochet Cannon – 2x Cannons
  • Attack bounces from target to target
  • Range: 9 tiles
  • Damage type: Single target
  • Targets: Ground

Clash of Clans Town Hall 16 Update – Hero Equipment:

Starting at Town Hall Level 8, players may begin unlocking Hero Equipment for their current Heroes! However, this new mechanic changes a few established rules about the current Hero abilities. For example, the abilities of the Barbarian King's Iron Fist will be broken down into several pieces of equipment. So, if you like the healing property of Iron Fist, try equipping Vampstache.

To build your Hero Equipment, you'll need to visit the Blacksmith.

How To Upgrade Hero Equipment – Clash of Clans Town Hall 16 Update

To upgrade Hero Equipment, players must earn Ores, a new currency used to build the equipment. Overall, three Ores are required to build the various equipment you'll need to create the best heroes:

• Shiny Ore – Most Common
  • Common & Epic Equipment (all levels)
• Glowy Ore
  • Upgrades key levels of common and epic equipment
• Starry Ore – Rarest Ore
  • Upgrades Epic Equipment beyond certain levels

Players can earn ores via the Home Village Star Bonus, Clan Wars, Trader, or in-game shop. Additionally, Gems also upgrade equipment if you do not have enough ores.

Overall, each Hero can equip up to two pieces of equipment, each with either active or passive abilities. Active abilities must be manually activated, while Passive abilities work instantly. Additionally, keep an eye out for these other rules regarding equipment:

• Common Equipment – upgradeable to level 18. Unlocked via upgrading the Blacksmith.
• Epic Equipment – upgradeable to level 27. Unlocked during special events.
• Some Equipment contain secondary effects like increasing DPS, recovering HP, increasing movement speed, etc.
• Epic Hero Equipment – unlocked during special events in an upcoming update.
