Clash of Clans Town Hall 18: Everything You Need to Know

Town Hall 18 has arrived and now you are stepping into one of the biggest changes ever introduced to Clash of Clans after those Town Hall 15, 16, and 17 updates. The new meteorite theme gives your base a cosmic, reforged look and the upgrade comes with a onetime cinematic sequence that sets the tone for this new level. You no longer rely on the usual Town Hall weapon for protection. TH18 brings the Guardian System and more. So, are you curious on what Clash of Clans Town Hall 18 brings? This guide is all yours.

TH18 Upgrade Cost and Time

To upgrade from TH17 to TH 18, there are several key conditions that you must follow. First, you need 25 million Gold and 14 days to move from TH17 to TH18 with a free Builder. Secondly, you have to upgrade the TH17’s built in defensive weapon to make Clash of Clans Town Hall 18 available. 

It is highly recommended to gather resources through events such as the current TH18 Controlled Chaos, and you can also save time by using Books or Hammers because many upgrades at TH16 and TH17 were reduced in cost and duration.

Core New Features – New Guardians

Your Town Hall no longer deals any direct damage, and troops will not treat it as a priority target. Instead, you rely on Guardians that move around the Town Hall area. Only one Guardian at a time can be used here.

On the other hand, the game allows you to upgrade Guardians through their own menu and this uses a free Builder. They work at full strength during Wars, Ranked matches, and CWL even if they are being upgraded. Guardians only stay inactive during normal multiplayer battles, and they cannot be harmed by Poison, but Freeze can stop them completely.

So these are the two new guardians you are going to catch up with:

New Defenses and Merges

And guardians are not just the only best thing you get from the Clash of Clans TH18. You are going to have some new defenses as well as the merges too:

1. Super Wizard Tower: Merge 2 max Wizard Towers into 1. Hits 1 enemy, then zaps 15 more, kills swarms fast!

2. Revenge Tower: Starts sleeping. Wakes up and gets stronger after you lose 5, then 20, then 40 buildings. Hurts slow attackers badly.

3. Crafted Defenses (New Ones Coming Soon ~Nov 20): Old ones reset (TH17 can't use). Pick 1 at Crafting Station (free rebuild):

• Hero Bell: Makes Heroes tougher + stronger (no attacks).

• Light Beam: Zaps far and it hurts more close up!

• Bomb Hive: Shoots bombs at ground + air. And you can earn Sparky Stones for cool shop skins!

New Attack Stuff

If you have been looking for new attack stuffs with COC town hall 18, they are here:

Meteor Golem: Your New Tough Tank Troop

This is a strong tank that splits into 2 mini versions called Meteormites when it attacks or gets hurt. The minis can jump over walls (the big one can't)! They smash buildings but fight back if enemies attack them. They can team up again into the big Golem. Super tanky (like 19k health at high levels). Meteor Golem is great at leading ground attacks.

• Unlock: At Town Hall 17 (new Barracks Level 19). Upgrade its levels at TH18 (up to Level 3).

• Size: Takes 40 spaces in your army camps (big boy!).

Totem Spell: Your Army's Tricky Shield

Totem Spell is protecting your group attacks and you can drop it to pull fire away so your troops smash the base safe. Where you drop it, it crashes down like a rock, does small damage + stuns (freezes for 0.2 seconds) defenses and troops in a 6-tile circle. Then, a huge tanky Totem (10k+ health) appears. Enemy defenses (ground AND air) + troops ignore everything else and attack ONLY the Totem! No traps, Clan Castle troops, or Spell Towers wake up from it

• Unlock: At Town Hall 16 (new Spell Factory Level 9). Upgrades through TH18. Takes 1 spell space.

Balance Changes and Quality of Life Updates

There are few useful tweaks at TH18 that make your experience smoother.

• Level seven Clans can now donate four spells instead of three.

• Minion Prince has one thousand less base HP and five hundred extra HP from equipment.

• Giant Arrow level eighteen deals two thousand damage which is strong enough to remove supercharged TH18 Air Defenses in one hit.

• Heal Spell lasts a little longer with a point three second increase and heals two more per second at TH17.

• TH18 Chests now come with clear minimum and maximum loot caps.

• TH16 and TH17 economy feels lighter because several upgrades are cheaper and faster and some events now include resource potions.

Early TH18 Upgrade Path

Your start can now be speed up by using Books, Hammers and potions whenever possible. The Trader resets very soon so keep an eye on Supercell Store rewards and Supercell ID rewards.For a complete breakdown, you can refer to the full Clash of Clans TH18 Upgrade Priority Guide.

And the upgrade path goes as follows:

1. Upgrade your Town Hall to TH18 with a Book of Building.

2. Upgrade your Laboratory and Spell Factory with a Book of Building so you can start Healers, Totem Spell, and Meteor Golem.

3. Upgrade Hero Hall and Clan Castle with a Book of Everything or a Hammer of Building.

4. Place the Revenge Tower, Super Wizard Tower and your new merges. These work at full strength right away for war.

5. Level your Guardians. Many players push Longshot to level five using potions.

6. Upgrade your Heroes and Pets. The Lizard pet becomes important and Dark Elixir should always stay busy.

7. Work on Air Defenses and merged defenses and use Supercell tools if you need extra help.

8. Save potions and medals for Crafted Phase two.
