Clash of Clans gets major new update, including new mega-weapon and character in Town Hall 17

Even after over a decade since its launch, Supercell's *Clash of Clans* continues to captivate players with fresh and exciting content. The introduction of Town Hall 17 marks a significant update, featuring a new ultra-powerful unit, a hero, various structures, and more. Players can now utilize the Hero Hall to manage their heroes directly and unleash the formidable Inferno Artillery against their foes.

It's challenging to recall a time when *Clash of Clans* wasn't a dominant force in the mobile gaming world. Supercell's social strategy game not only became a major hit but also ushered in a new era of mobile gaming supremacy. Given its enduring popularity, it's no surprise that the game still receives substantial updates. The latest update, possibly one of the most comprehensive yet, is here with Town Hall 17.

Town Hall 17 introduces an ultimate mega-weapon, the Inferno Artillery, created by merging your Town Hall and Eagle Artillery. This powerful unit is set to change the dynamics of the game. Additionally, a new character, the Minion Prince, joins the fray, previously featured in Supercell's Hammerless "true crime" ARG on their social media platforms.

Players will also benefit from the new Hero Hall, which allows direct upgrading and assignment of heroes. A 3D viewing gallery within the Hero Hall lets you showcase the latest hero skins. Alongside these, the update brings a variety of other features, including the Helper Hut, which finally gives The Builder's Apprentice a dedicated structure of their own.

Artillery awakening

Although *Clash of Clans* has been followed by numerous new releases in Supercell's lineup, it remains one of the developer's most iconic games. The dedication and attention to detail poured into it over the years have enabled it to stay relevant, despite its initial release in 2012.
