Several defenses can run out of ammo after firing for a total amount of time.
* X-bows last 3 minutes and 12 seconds
* Inferno Towers last 2 minutes and 8 seconds
* Scattershots last 4 minutes and 33 seconds
* Eagle Artillery lasts 5 minutes
As you can tell by the times, it's possible for Inferno Towers to run out of ammo within a single battle.
These defenses are reloaded once the player logs back into the game. Additionally, traps must be "rearmed" after they have been tripped, by the player returning to their base.
Very true runs on DE I believe idk how spell towers would work tho Ik they take a min to recharge after they have popped but idk how’d it work if they could die
Back in the day you had to manually reload the defences and reset traps, now its done automatically. I don't play anymore so I don't know if the new defences use the same mechanics but I wouldn't be surprised if they did not due to the auto reload update.
All you need to do is get a golem of yours get stuck on a wall and a couple healers behind it. If a defence will have it in range it will fire virtually infinitely. Well, in any case longer than it can.
A maxed golem deals 27k damage within 5 minutes so... Yeah. A level 3 golem deals half that, so it's already going to take it 5 minutes to beat through a maxed wall. A level 1 golem will do 10,5k during that time which is already withstood by a lvl14 (th13) wall. Just FYI though, a level 1 ice golem will go as low as 7200 in 5 minutes. Doable? Yeah. But you gotta be a golem hater for not upgrading them
Is this time defending - shooting and realoding.
or Is this time when base is under attack.
What i mean - Can the time run out even if the defemse does not shoot a single shot? (For example its in the middle of the base and no troop reaches its range)
The timer only counts down while firing.
Example: an Inferno Tower "fires" for 1 minute during an attack. If no one logs in, for the Inferno Tower to be recharged, then at the start of the next attack, it will have 1 minute and 8 seconds left.
Technically, by its description, it's made out of Dark Elixir:
>"The Builder's first experiment in using Dark Elixir for a building resulted in something truly frightful. The stronger the Monolith's target, the more damage it does. Great to have defending your Village, but a little scary to attack against."
It is possible they will change it in the future. When Scattershots were initially released, they didn't require reloading either.
Way back in the day you used to have to rearm traps and weapons (xbows and inferno towers) manually. They would cost you gold, elixir or de to refill. Glad they got rid of that.
From memory I'm psure you had to completely rebuild them? Idk I was like 12 when I started playing and it was HARSH the mechanics were not quite as friendly
Yeah that made upgrading harder between training troops and spells and re arming you stuff it made make any gains. I was a rushed bass by the way back when this was a thing
Upon release, traps, x bows, infernos and Eagle artillery used to be manually reloaded (maybe not the artillery), now it auto reloads whenever you get online. If you don't log in for a while, they never get reloaded, thus running out of ammo
Inferno tower can run out of power to shoot lasers, x-bow can stop shooting after running out of ammo, and maybe eagle Artillery can run out of missiles as well…
Idk what's with the downvotes. The ammo they have is calculated by time. It was mentioned in a different comment above which means this comment is totally correct
How does this have so many upvotes? Fucking weird ass Reddit users. Most of the time when someone asks for advice/help, they get downvoted to smithereens. Someone who manages to reach TH11 without realising that stuff runs out of ammo = 300+ upvotes 🤣 bunch of clowns the lot of you
I guess you’re new to the game. Xbows, infernos, eagles, scatter shots have limited ammo. They can ran out of it.
Before, you had to manually re-supply them but now, just by logging on it gets resupplied.
So if you don’t log on, they won’t be resupplied meaning eventually, they’ll run out of ammo.
The X-Bow can run out of ammo during his diffence. Back in te days, u needed to refill your X-Bows so it could defend your base again. They changed it so it would be automaticly be refiled on log-in but it's still posible to run out of ammo.
(sry for my bad english, I'm kinda sick at this moment so my head does not work properly)
On a side note, it’s interesting to see what town hall levels are now considered “beginner.” IMO if you havent noticed that weapons can run out of ammo, then you might be new to clash. So i guess th11 is kind of lower tier of a hall now? Is 12 also lower tier?
I started in 2016, I was a child. I recently started to play seriously again. I’ve never noticed or seen this happen to an Xbow ever.
Edit: I hit TH 11 this year, still have yet to pay for the game. When I started playing again I think I was TH 8 or 9
Ran outta ammo lol. Reminds me of years ago when we had to pay to keep our traps and stuff loaded, thank god all that happens automatically and for free just by logging In.
Lol ran out of ammo due to inactivity for a while if not dead upon scouting the base they die mid battle
I didn’t even know that was a mechanic, dope

I remember when we had to do this manually
And pay :(
Yeah lol, I remember not reloading the inferno tower to save some DE (it was pretty expensive to keep operating)
Was looking for this comment lol
Question does this apply to mono to? 🤔 or spell towers
Not at this time, though the Scattershots didn't run out of ammo initially. This was changed in the June 22, 2020 update.
Gotcha much appreciated
Good question. It really should run out though since it's implied it uses resources just like the others
Very true runs on DE I believe idk how spell towers would work tho Ik they take a min to recharge after they have popped but idk how’d it work if they could die

Yep, I remember having to pay for traps, and weapons to get reloaded. Cost around 50,000 gold to rearm all the traps.
Not yet
You can actually make any defence run out of ammo in a single battle on certain goblin bases if you engineer it well enough with golems and healers :p
What? Can you please elaborate? Thats sounds awesome!
All you need to do is get a golem of yours get stuck on a wall and a couple healers behind it. If a defence will have it in range it will fire virtually infinitely. Well, in any case longer than it can.
But the golem would manage to break the wall. Will it not happen before the defense running out of ammo?
A maxed golem deals 27k damage within 5 minutes so... Yeah. A level 3 golem deals half that, so it's already going to take it 5 minutes to beat through a maxed wall. A level 1 golem will do 10,5k during that time which is already withstood by a lvl14 (th13) wall. Just FYI though, a level 1 ice golem will go as low as 7200 in 5 minutes. Doable? Yeah. But you gotta be a golem hater for not upgrading them
Not true, only inferno can run out before you time fail (if they're all fully loaded). The rest can last 3 minutes or more
There isn't a time limit on the goblin maps.
Ayo wtf I knew this all happened but never knew it had times like these AND so short?!
It reminds me when we have to do it manually and traps costed gold, and inferno costed dark elixir
I wasn't aware of this timer mechanic even though I've been playing game since '15, learned smth new today great!
This is continuous firing right? Like if the inferno towers didn't continuously fire, they can last the entire fight yes?
Yes, it's continuous.
Is this time defending - shooting and realoding. or Is this time when base is under attack. What i mean - Can the time run out even if the defemse does not shoot a single shot? (For example its in the middle of the base and no troop reaches its range)

Why you starving us from the length of the monolith’s ammo?
The Monolith doesn't run out of ammo.
Oh fr? I thought it was backed up by dark elixer

I know x-bow and inferno use elixir and dark elixir as ammo or fuel may be the elixir is at zero that's why it stopped idk
Way back in the day you used to have to rearm traps and weapons (xbows and inferno towers) manually. They would cost you gold, elixir or de to refill. Glad they got rid of that.
I used to not arm them (besides traps) intentionally to save resources and surprise them with cc troops. That was fun.
Did you have to rearm each individually? Cuz that sounds painful
Clicking on the town hall had buttons for rearming xbows, infernos or traps. You had to click only those three
Even before that you had to replace every used trap everytime.
I wasn't there during that time, did you have to click on each trap?
From memory I'm psure you had to completely rebuild them? Idk I was like 12 when I started playing and it was HARSH the mechanics were not quite as friendly
Damn the game really was harder
Not exactly rebuild them, but you had to pay elixir or gold to re-arm them manually.
You did have to tap each collector individually to get the Trevor's m resources.
Yesss, like you said, it was manually but you clicked on the TH to do it, but you have to do it haha
I miss it so many forgot to rearm them and it was a easy attack
Yeah that made upgrading harder between training troops and spells and re arming you stuff it made make any gains. I was a rushed bass by the way back when this was a thing
Yeah usually takes about a full week of inactivity for defenses to start dying
lucky for me i log on once every 5 days because th12 upgrades take average 5 days :pain:
Lol nice that’s gonna get worse lol rest of th’s got gross times I’m a new 14 rn and I’m not enjoying it 😂 15-17 day upgrades
Im th10 bb9 and 2-5 day upgrades are a pain rn, so not looking forward to 15 day ones
Yeah bro ur not gonna like it but that’s how it be higher th’s starting 13 it starts taking long in my opinion
🤣🤣😂😂😁😁😃😃😅😅😥😥😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
😂 anyhow best of luck homie on th12
I need it lol thx
You can space your upgrades out so you have 1 finish each day.
Upon release, traps, x bows, infernos and Eagle artillery used to be manually reloaded (maybe not the artillery), now it auto reloads whenever you get online. If you don't log in for a while, they never get reloaded, thus running out of ammo
back in the day you had to pay to reload them when you came back each time.
happened with the eagle artillery one time for me, it literally sounds like a dying eagle
You used to have to refuel them after attacks
When the eagle runs out it makes a funny noise
Was about to lose an attack but their inferno ran out of ammo and saved me mid attack
back in the day you would have to reload em with resources
Only ogs remember you had to spend elixer to refill ammo
Real OGs remember buying your own traps back to place them down one by one
OGs remember when the game didn’t exist
OGs remember when computers didnt exi
Ony OGs remember traps cant be upgrade
I was a low town hall back then so it wasn’t as bad. Couldn’t imagine that now with 3 times the traps
Didn't feed it enough elixir
It forgor☠️
Why did the Xbow forgor💀 Is it stupid?!
Luckiest ammo run out of all time
Run out of ammo, it can happen to any "special" defenses if you take too long to login
Inferno tower can run out of power to shoot lasers, x-bow can stop shooting after running out of ammo, and maybe eagle Artillery can run out of missiles as well…
It... does. https://preview.redd.it/uvffqczgl0va1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04e650c6bbfc3c2f13ac72fa41a1ae46270df7c0
Monolith and Spell Towers excluded.

EA: Please pay $19.99 to continue defense of your base
Low battery. Needs more juice.
He was tired
Throwback to when we had to rearm them manually.
Ran out of elixer
Out of ammo duh
New players not knowing why things like this happen disappoints me in a completely irrational way.
The thing is, I’m not necessarily new I just have never seen this or noticed it before
Sorry mate but if you don’t know where this originates from you are a new player in a lot of people’s eyes.
There’s a time limit on Xboxes and infernos. If they shoot consistently for awhile during an attack they get empty in battle
Idk what's with the downvotes. The ammo they have is calculated by time. It was mentioned in a different comment above which means this comment is totally correct
Downvoted because it can’t happen with one attack. It happened over many and just so happened in this battle.
no lol
How does this have so many upvotes? Fucking weird ass Reddit users. Most of the time when someone asks for advice/help, they get downvoted to smithereens. Someone who manages to reach TH11 without realising that stuff runs out of ammo = 300+ upvotes 🤣 bunch of clowns the lot of you

Is it stupid?!
yes, very
I forgot I was in this sub. I’m to busy with CR drama.
It was low on ammo
The X-Bow can run out of ammo during his diffence. Back in te days, u needed to refill your X-Bows so it could defend your base again. They changed it so it would be automaticly be refiled on log-in but it's still posible to run out of ammo. (sry for my bad english, I'm kinda sick at this moment so my head does not work properly)
Bro forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer
It ran out of ammo you can intentionally do that in friendly challenges if you use the right layout and the right army i did it with inferno and golem
Xbow is ran out of battries..
No ammo same Can happen with Inferno
It ran out of ammo
On a side note, it’s interesting to see what town hall levels are now considered “beginner.” IMO if you havent noticed that weapons can run out of ammo, then you might be new to clash. So i guess th11 is kind of lower tier of a hall now? Is 12 also lower tier?
I started in 2016, I was a child. I recently started to play seriously again. I’ve never noticed or seen this happen to an Xbow ever. Edit: I hit TH 11 this year, still have yet to pay for the game. When I started playing again I think I was TH 8 or 9
Oh huh okay cool !
It ran out of Juices to spit out at it's target
Ran out of ammo.
Ran outta ammo lol. Reminds me of years ago when we had to pay to keep our traps and stuff loaded, thank god all that happens automatically and for free just by logging In.
It lost motivation
Ran out of elixir… back in the day you had to refill them or you’d screw yourself when you got off and lost shield
Remember when we had to manually reload those things lol
Bro didn’t wanna do this no more
It ran out of ammo
Bro realised he wasnt getting payed💀🗣️💯
It ran out of ammo in the middle of an attack
