Clash of Clans TH18: Revenge Tower – Complete Defence Guide
With the arrival of Town Hall 18 (TH18) in Clash of Clans, Supercell has introduced a powerful and strategic new defence called the Revenge Tower. Unlike traditional defences that attack from the very beginning, this tower grows stronger as your base is destroyed.
🛡️ What Is the Revenge Tower?
The Revenge Tower is a TH18-exclusive defence that remains inactive at the start of an attack. It activates and evolves as attackers destroy buildings, punishing slow and deep attacks.
It is one of the few defences that uses Dark Elixir for upgrades, highlighting its late-game importance.
⚙️ How the Revenge Tower Works
The Revenge Tower unlocks different stages based on buildings destroyed:
| Buildings Destroyed | Stage | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Inactive | Does not attack |
| 5 | Stage 1 | Slow, high single-target damage |
| 20 | Stage 2 | Faster attacks, 2 target bounce |
| 40 | Stage 3 | Very fast, 3 target bounce |
Tip: At full power, the Revenge Tower can wipe grouped troops in seconds.
