Hey, Chief!
The second sneak peek for the April update introduces game-changing tools for both offense and defense. Here is everything you need to know about the newest additions to the home village.
New Siege Machine: The Sky Wagon
The Sky Wagon is a new air-based Siege Machine available at Town Hall 17 once you upgrade your Workshop to Level 9. It acts similarly to the ground-based Troop Launcher but is designed specifically for air support.
- Mechanics: It targets the nearest building and dispenses a total of 6 barrels.
- Barrel Contents (Max Level): Each barrel drops 5 Minions, 1 Balloon, and 1 Baby Dragon.
- HP & Movement: It has 4,200 HP and moves at a slow speed, similar to the Stone Slammer.
- Key Advantage: Unlike some siege machines, it does not have diminishing health over time. If it is destroyed early, it will immediately release any remaining Clan Castle troops.
New TH18 Guardian: The Logger
Following the Longot and Smasher, the Logger arrives as the third Guardian available for Town Hall 18 players. This defensive unit mimics the mechanics of the Log Launcher to protect your core.
- Defensive Power: It targets both ground and air units.
- Attack Range: It has an initial 7-tile lock-on range, but the log itself travels up to 15 tiles, dealing damage and providing a 1-tile pushback to any troops it hits.
- Stats: At its maximum level (Level 5), it boasts 12,000 HP.
- Threat Level: It is particularly dangerous to Healers; just three logs can take them out if they are caught in the bounce path.
New Hero Equipment: Electro Fangs
The Dragon Duke is receiving his first piece of Common Equipment: the Electro Fangs. This equipment is unlocked at Town Hall 17 by upgrading the Blacksmith to Level 10.
- Ability: It provides a passive chain reaction attack similar to an Electro Dragon.
- Chaining Targets: The number of targets increases as you level it up (4 targets at Level 15+).
- Damage: It deals 400 damage at max level, though the damage decreases by 20% with each chain.
- Passive Nature: Since it is passive, you do not need to trigger it manually, making it a flexible pairing for the Fire Heart or Rocket Backpack.
Strategic Insights & Upgrade Costs
| Item | Unlock Level | Upgrade Cost (Initial) | Build/Upgrade Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sky Wagon | Workshop Lvl 9 (TH17) | 26M Elixir | 13d 12h |
| Logger | Town Hall 18 | 18M Elixir | 7d |
| Electro Fangs | Blacksmith Lvl 10 (TH17) | 18M Elixir | 10d |
Pro Tip: The Sky Wagon is excellent for "Coco Loon" utility in ground smash attacks. Because it dispenses 6 Balloons over the course of its flight, it can effectively clear Seeking Air Mines to protect your Healers without you needing to fill your Clan Castle entirely with Balloons.
