Clash of Clans: The best tips for the magic tower

The magic tower in Clash of Clans is a powerful defense unit. In this practical tip, we have summarized the most important tips for you around the magic tower so that you can ward off all enemy attacks in the future and at the same time take advantage of the weak points of the magic tower.

Clash of Clans: Tips for the Mage Tower

Game developer Supercell describes its Clash of Clans mage tower as "the ultimate arcane defense". And while the Mage Tower isn't the strongest defense unit in terms of damage, a strategically placed Mage Tower can hit enemy units neatly, preventing many attacks by your enemies. Internalize the following tips and hints in order to use the weak points of the magic tower to your advantage and to strategically place it yourself.

• So far, the Mage Tower is the only defense unit that can attack both ground and air troops and also deals surface damage. This makes the Mage Tower a strategically important defense unit.
• It is worth continuously improving the Mage Tower, as its additional damage increases with almost every further improvement.

Tips on the mage tower during the attack

• The biggest weakness of the magic tower is its relatively short distance. You can take advantage of this weakness by avoiding the Mage Tower and destroying other defense units until you reach its attack radius.
• When attacking a mage tower, always send a resilient unit, such as a giant, golem, dragon, or lava dog, first to focus the defense's focus. Strong but sensitive troops like the archer or the magician can then destroy the magician tower without being damaged.
• Please note in this connection that you do not place the sensitive troops in the immediate vicinity of the focused unit, as they will also be damaged due to the surface effect of the magic tower.

Defense Magic Tips

• Since the magic tower together with the Tesla has the smallest attack range of all defense units, it should be placed outside the center if possible. The advantage of such a strategy is that the mage tower deals damage at the beginning of an attack and supports remote defense units such as the archer's tower.
• Another popular strategy is to place the mage tower right next to the mine thrower. The mine thrower has a long attack range, but is limited by the inner dead radius. So while the mine thrower attacks remote units, the magic tower destroys troops that are close to it.
• In both cases, you should make sure that the magic tower is protected by walls that are as strong as possible and can thus continuously damage the enemy units. It also makes sense that you don't place the magic towers next to each other, so that not one tough unit draws the focus of all magic towers.
