Town Hall 16 Upgrade Guide & Max Levels

Suggested builder sequence

1. Complete Laboratory, Camps, Clan Castle, storage, and the first TH16 army before expanding into every new option.
2. Test Ruin Witch levels 1-2 only in an army that creates reachable rubble early; choose pets, Thrower, or Troop Launcher where the same plan gives each unlock a specific job.
3. Identify the Archer Towers and Cannons needed for merging, then upgrade those prerequisites without stripping one defensive side at once.
4. Place Multi-Archer Tower and Ricochet Cannon from a revised coverage plan and retest the lanes once their source towers are gone.
5. Finish alternate armies, heroes, pets, remaining merges, defenses, traps, collectors, and walls after offense and the first layout are stable.

Ready to advance when

• The source defenses selected for merging meet their requirements and are not relied on as separate anchors in the planned layout.
• Multi-Archer and Ricochet placements replace specific coverage rather than simply occupying the vacated tiles.
• The primary army has current research, heroes, pets, housing, spells, siege, and reinforcements.
• A Ruin Witch plan identifies the first rubble source, her protected route to it, and the job assigned to the spawned Ruin Knights.
• Builder timing prevents merge preparation from blocking every offensive or hero upgrade at the same time.
