Wizard Tower — Clash of Clans
Buildings
Updated: 18 September 2026 · By the Goblins Farm team
The Wizard Tower deals area damage to both air and ground units, which makes it the most valuable splash defence in most bases: it answers ground swarms and air groups with the same building.
What it does
Area damage at moderate range against both movement types. Against grouped Minions, grouped Balloons or a wave of cheap ground troops it is exceptional; against a single large unit it does very little.
Placement
- Centre them, covering the compartments an attacker must enter.
- Cover Air Defenses with them. Air units that group up to kill an Air Defense are exactly what a Wizard Tower punishes.
- Spread them. Two Wizard Towers under one Rage is a much easier problem for the attacker than two that must be dealt with separately.

Frequently asked
Is the Wizard Tower better than the Mortar?
For most bases yes, because it damages air as well as ground, so it answers two threat categories with one building. Mortars remain useful as additional ground splash, particularly in the early game.
What is the Wizard Tower good against?
Any group of units, air or ground. It punishes Minions and Balloons that cluster to kill an Air Defense, and it clears waves of cheap ground troops. Against a single large unit it contributes very little.
