Defensive Buildings

In Clash of Clans having a good defense is equally if not more important than having a good offense. It allows you to preserve your hard won trophies and keeps others from stealing your resources.

Wise chiefs understand the value of each defensive building type and they use them to their full effect.

Click on the building names in the headers below to get detailed information about each building.

Cannon
"Cannons are great for point defense. Upgrade cannons to increase their firepower, but beware that your defensive turrets cannot shoot while being upgraded!"

Archer Tower
"Archer Towers have longer range than cannons, and unlike cannons they can attack flying enemies."

Mortar
"The Mortar can mow down hordes of enemies by the splash damage from its shell. Don't let enemies get too close to it!"

Wizard Tower
"The Ultimate Arcane Defence! Tower Wizards cast powerful area effect spells that target both flying and ground troops."

Air Defense
''"This anti-air tower is deadly against flying enemies, but can't target foes on the ground. Place it wisely to cover as much airspace as possible." ''

Hidden Tesla
''"Lay a deadly trap with the Hidden Tesla! Our Wizards have trapped a storm cloud into each of these sneaky towers. When an enemy walks or flies close enough, the tower spring up and fries it using the power of Electrickery!" ''

X-Bow
"The X-Bow shoots mystical bolts with terrifying power. Load it with Elixir and the X-Bow works automagically. You can set it to target ground units at long ranges, or all targets at reduced range."

Walls
"Walls are great for keeping your village safe and your enemies in the line of fire."

Traps
"Nothing says 'STAY OUT' quite like a good old-fashioned hidden bomb."
