Clash of Clans Update: Mega Weapon and Character Debut in Town Hall 17

• Supercell's Clash of Clans may be over a decade old, but it's not short of new content
• Town Hall 17 brings a new ultra-powerful unit, hero, structures and more
• Use the Hero Hall to manage your heroes directly, and unleash the new Inferno Artillery on your foes

It's hard to think of a time when Clash of Clans wasn't one of the biggest things on mobile. Supercell's social strategy game proved to be a major hit that heralded a new age of dominance on mobile, so it's little surprise that even so many years down the line it's still getting updates. And the latest, and perhaps one of the most expansive, is here with Town Hall 17.

Bringing you a new ultimate mega-weapon called the Inferno Artillery, Town Hall 17 introduces the ability to merge your Town Hall and Eagle Artillery to form this new, powerful unit. Not only that but a brand new character joins the lineup with the Minion Prince, whom you may recognise from the Hammerless "true crime" ARG that ran on Supercell's socials recently.

In addition, you'll also be able to use the new Hero Hall to directly upgrade and assign your heroes, including a new 3D viewing gallery to check out their latest skins. That's on top of a whole host of miscellaneous features and the addition of The Helper Hut, which finally gives The Builder's Apprentice their own dedicated structure.

Clash of Clans, although it's been succeeded by many new releases in Supercell's catalogue, still remains one of the developer's most iconic offerings. And rightfully so, given all the care and attention it's received over the years, it's managed to just about keep up with the times despite releasing more than a decade ago in 2012.
