Hey Cheif,

This is all we've been waiting for! Sneak Peek 1 for Town Hall 17 is here, and it’s packed with explosive surprises! From the game-changing Inferno Artillery and the all-new Giga Bomb trap to upgraded buildings, troop levels, and quality-of-life improvements, this Update is all about taking your gameplay to the next level.

Let’s dive into the fiery details and see what’s in store!

Inferno Artillery: The Ultimate Weapon

Town Hall 17 is stepping up its game with a brand-new weapon—Inferno Artillery. Forget everything you knew about the Eagle Artillery; this beast takes destruction to a whole new level.

  • What It Does: Shoots 4 projectiles that target different enemies. If there aren’t enough targets, it doubles down on existing ones!
  • Damage Over Time: Each hit creates an area effect that fries both ground and air troops.
  • Always Active: No need to trigger it—it’s always ready to rumble.
  • No Death Bomb: TH17 skips the dramatic exit. Once destroyed, it’s gone—no fiery blast afterward.

What’s deadlier than a regular trap? The all-new Giga Bomb! It’s always visible, so attackers will have to rethink their strategies.

  • Massive Damage: This trap hits hard with a wide blast radius.
  • Pushback Power: Sends troops flying, creating chaos.
  • 3 Levels: Upgrade it to maximize the destruction.
