New Hard Mode and Town Hall 17 in Clash of Clans

Hey, Clashers!

The Clash of Clans community has been buzzing after an AMA with Stuart, the General Manager of Clash of Clans. One big announcement was the introduction of Hard Mode, along with Town Hall 17 and other changes in the June update. In this blog, we’ll share all the key details.

What Was Shared in the AMA?

The General Manager of Clash of Clans answered many questions in the Reddit Q&A. Here’s what we learned:

• Town Hall 17 will bring an Eagle Artillery weapon and more merged defenses.
• There will be a Super Yeti, new hero upgrades, and clan perks.
• A new training and scouting feature is coming soon.
• And some few less important topics.

▶️ Is Town Hall 17 Coming Soon in Clash of Clans?

Town Hall 17 is one of the most exciting updates coming soon. Stuart confirmed that the theme has already been chosen. This time, the new Town Hall weapon will be Eagle Artillery. It will replace the Giga Inferno used in the past four Town Hall levels. Here's a video highlighting the AMA session with cool visuals!

The Town Hall 17 update is expected to arrive in December. This new weapon aims to change up the gameplay, giving players new strategies to try.

Clash of Clans Town Hall 17 Release Date

New Town Hall updates usually arrive right after the World Championships. This gives players time to prepare. Following this tradition, we expect TH17 to be released around the 26th to 30th of November 2024 right after the Hammer Jam Event ends.

Stay tuned to our blog for all the New Clash of Clans Updates. We provide detailed insights for every update.

More Merged Defenses at TH17

Supercell has been merging defenses to simplify the number of buildings in the game. This will continue with Town Hall 17 and beyond.

• Merging defenses helps keep your base tidy and allows room for new buildings.
• For example, cannons and archer towers could be merged to become more powerful and space-efficient.

The next New Super Troop in CoC: Super Yeti

The Super Yeti is the next Super Troop in Clash of Clans. Unlike the regular Yeti, the Super Yeti will take up more housing space and have stronger abilities.

The exact details of its abilities are still a mystery. But the community is excited to see how it will impact battles. To learn how to use new troops like this, consider subscribing to our YouTube channel: BlueprintCoC!

Optional Hard Mode

Supercell will introduce an Optional Hard Mode for Friendly Challenges and Friendly Wars. This mode is designed to make battles more challenging, especially for professional players.

Hard Mode will also be used in this year’s Clash Worlds Championship. It will also be used in the World Finals this year, marking a significant shift in the building style of Clash Worlds Championship War Bases.

Reason for Introducing Optional Hard Mode

Since the release of Town Hall 16, Clash of Clans has seen many changes, including hero equipment and merged defenses. These updates have made the game easier for some players, leading to perfect wars more often, not just against Free Clash Bases but also against the pro-style bases built by Top Base-Builders.

For example, many players now use the Giant Gauntlet for the Barbarian King, which is overpowered. Our Hero Equipment Guide includes the best Equipment and Pet Combos for every army. 

These changes have made players, especially pros, ask for a more difficult mode. Hard Mode is Supercell’s answer to that.
