Inferno Tower — Clash of Clans
Buildings
Updated: 18 September 2026 · By the Goblins Farm team
The Inferno Tower is the defence that kills tanks. In single-target mode its damage ramps up the longer it burns one unit, which melts Golems, P.E.K.K.As and heroes; in multi-target mode it sprays weaker damage across several units instead.
The two modes
Single target ramps damage against one unit over time, which makes it the hardest counter in the game to expensive tanks and heroes. Multi target spreads weaker damage across several attackers, which suits bases that expect swarms.
Choosing between them is a real decision, and it should follow what is actually attacking you. Watch your defence replays: if you are losing to heavy single units, go single; if you are losing to masses, go multi.
Attacking and defending it
On defence, place it centrally and cover it, because attackers will spend their entire spell loadout removing it. On offence, the Inferno Tower is the standard reason to carry a Freeze Spell: freezing it during the critical seconds is what lets a heavy push survive.

Frequently asked
Should my Inferno Tower be single or multi target?
Follow your defence replays. Single target melts expensive tanks and heroes by ramping damage on one unit; multi target spreads weaker damage across a swarm. Set it to counter what is actually beating your base.
How do attackers counter Inferno Towers?
Usually a Freeze Spell dropped at the moment the tower starts burning the tank, which stops the damage ramp during the seconds that decide the attack. That is why Freeze appears in almost every heavy war army.
