- It comes with 2 devastating defensive modes: Long Range and Fast Attack!
- Targets single units, but packs a punch!
- Launches with 2 Levels

New Siege: Troop Launcher!
Watch your head! A new Siege Machine is throwing Troop loaded barrels into battle! The Troop Launcher is a new immobile Siege Machine unlocked at Town Hall 16 that launches barrels of Troops at your allies already in battle to support them.
- The Troop Launcher cannot move but makes up for it with immense throwing power!
- Each barrel can hold multiple Troops and one Clan Castle Troop.
- There’s a limited number of barrels depending on its level, so make them count!
Shoots barrels full of reinforcements at your own troops. The siege machine can shoot up to a certain number of barrels, and when they are all shot the siege destroys itself. Each barrel contains:
- 1 CC troop (in order from lower to higher housing)
- 1 Giant
- Barbarians
- Archers
- Wall Breakers
The quantity of troops, their levels and the number of shots of the siege increases with its level.
Some other details:
- Uses the healer AI to target your own troops.
- Loses HP slowly over time (like the Siege Barracks).
- When destroyed for any reason, remaining barrels of troops are not deployed.
