The Inferno Artillery
Town Hall 17 merges the Eagle Artillery into the Town Hall to become the Inferno Artillery. This weapon is always active and shoots 4 projectiles at the same time that look for different targets. If there are less than 4 targets, they will shoot the same targets. Each projectile damages its target and leaves an area of effect that does damage over time to Troops within its area.
The Town Hall 17 building no longer contains the death bomb, so when it is destroyed it is simply destroyed.
New Trap: Giga Bomb
Giga BombThis trap is always visible and does massive damage in a large area with strong pushback. It requires a certain amount of troop space nearby to activate.
New Defense: Firespitter
FirespitterThe Firespitter is aimed like an Air Sweeper with a broad attack cone, the Firespitter has an extremely fast attack speed that lacks precision.
New Troop: Thrower
ThrowerAvailable at Town Hall 16 once the Barracks has been upgraded to level 18. This is a ranged unit that throws spears at his target.
New Spell: Revive Spell
Revive SpellA new Elixir Spell that is unlocked with Spell Factory level 8 (TH15). When deployed, it revives a defeated friendly Hero within an 8 tile range. The same hero can be revived multiple times by using additional Revive spells.
New Building: Hero Hall
Hero HallA new building that lets you manage your Heroes. It determines which Heroes you unlock and the maximum level you can upgrade them to.
In order to upgrade to the next Town Hall level, you need to have upgraded to Hero Hall to a sufficient level for the number of heroes available at your current TH level. For example, to upgrade to Town Hall 14, you will need to have upgraded the Hero Hall to level 7 in order to have unlocked the Royal Champion.
The Archer Queen is unlocked at Hero Hall level 2 which means she is available for Town Hall 8.
New Hero: Minion Prince
Minion PrinceA new Hero will be available from Town Hall 9. This is a flying hero that will be available once the Hero Hall has been upgraded to level 3.
New Equipment: Dark Orb
Dark OrbThis is one of the default equipment for the Minion Prince. When activated, the Dark Orb is launched and damaged and slows down everything it touches.
New Equipment: Henchmen Puppet
Henchmen PuppetThis is one of the default equipment for the Minion Prince. When activated, flying bodyguards are spawned to support the Minion Prince.
New Helper: Lab Assistant
Lab AssistantAvailable at TH9 and up once the Helper Hut has been constructed, the Lab Assistant can be permanently recruited for your village with Gems. When activated, he speeds up Lab research for 1 hour, once every 23 hours.
Upgrading the Lab Assistant makes him more efficient during the one hour boost.
Cost and Time Reductions for non-max TH levels
As often happens with the release of a new Town Hall level, some of the lower level costs and times were reduced to help lower level players reach the higher Town Hall levels quicker. A summary of these reductions can be seen in the following infographics:
