「Defensive building, roasts targets for damage that increases over time. Burns through even the biggest and toughest enemies!」
The Inferno Tower card is unlocked from the P.E.K.K.A.'s Playhouse(Arena 4). It is a single-target, medium-ranged defensive building with moderately high hitpoints and various damage stages. The Inferno Tower's damage increases over time as it remains focused on a single target. An Inferno Tower card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy[]
- The Inferno Tower is extremely effective against high hitpoint troops such as Giants, Balloons, Golems, Hog Riders, Lava Hounds, P.E.K.K.A.s, Valkyries, and Bowlers due to its intensifying damage over time. If placed correctly, the Inferno Tower can counter many pushes if not specifically addressed.
- For the first two秒, it does 5% of its max damage, 20% in the next two and after that it hits for full damage.
- One way of circumventing the Inferno Tower is to swarm it with numerous, low Elixir cost units such as Spear Goblins or Skeletons. Due to the fact it can only burn one target at a time and its slow re-targeting speed, the troops will overpower the Inferno Tower and eventually destroy it.
- The Inferno Tower will reset its charge if it defeats a shield from a troop like a Dark Prince or a Cannon Cart. Knowing this, you can place these troops in front of your main offensive unit to increase the likelihood of it surviving against the Inferno Tower.
- Another way to effectively counter the Inferno Tower is to use cards with a stun effect. Zap, Freeze, Ice Spirit, Electro Spirit, Electro Dragon, Zappies, Electro Wizard, Electro Giant, and Lightning will reset the Inferno Tower's damage charge, allowing for an easy opportunity to destroy it. Cards with a constant stunning effect, like the troops mentioned above, are more effective since the Inferno Tower will never be able to ramp up. When using Zap or Lightning on the Inferno Tower, they should be deployed on the fourth秒 to reset its damage, taking into consideration its ramp up time and the 1秒 server delay.
- Since the Inferno Tower is vulnerable to swarms of units such as the Skeleton Army, use a card that deals area damage such as the Wizard to protect it from swarms of low-hitpoint troops. However, this can still be countered by high damage spells such as the Rocket, Lightning, or Earthquake. If the opponent has such cards, try to draw them out first, or safely place your Inferno Tower where the spell won't hit either the Tower and Inferno.
- Wizard + P.E.K.K.A. pushes can easily be countered with the Inferno Tower with an area damage card, as the Inferno Tower will quickly take out the P.E.K.K.A. and a tanky troop like the Knight should be able to take out any support units after the P.E.K.K.A. is gone. Giant Skeletons can distract units and will also deal enough death damage to take out any support units behind the P.E.K.K.A.
- It can act as a Zap bait allowing you to play combos that are devastating if left ignored but can easily be countered, such as Ice Spirit + Goblins.
- Similarly, it can be used as Lightning bait, since the Lightning spell deals high damage and stuns the building, while also being able to hit other units in its radius. This can allow you to place troops that would be one-shot by the spell, such as a Witch or an Electro Dragon.
- Minions and Bats can be used to distract the Inferno Tower effectively if the opponent doesn't have cards that can counter the them. However, this can also be countered by a Fire Spirit or a Wizard. Players will send Minions and Bats across the river to distract your Inferno Tower from targeting their tank once they realize you have the Inferno Tower, so switching up your Inferno placement is highly recommended so you can successfully counter pushes like these.
- If an Inferno Tower survives a push with decent health to spare, you can place a Mortar or Princess at the bridge for an immediate attack. The opponent will most likely respond with a troop, which will then proceed to attack the Inferno Tower, only to be melted by it. This allows the Inferno Tower to make better use of its 30秒 lifetime, and can otherwise negate the Elixir deficit the player would have from attacking.
- Beware of Dart Goblins, Magic Archers and Princesses that the opponent might place. These troops outrange the Inferno Tower, and they can weaken it enough for their offensive troop to approach it with less harm. Eliminate these threats as quickly as possible.
- In a pinch, it can be used to defeat air troops, like Baby Dragons, Flying Machines, Mega Minions and Skeleton Barrels. Use it as such if you lack better counters to air troops or if said counters are not in your card rotation.
- The Inferno Tower is excellent in the Treasure Hunt game mode. Its gargantuan 每秒傷害值 allows you to claim the treasure building before your opponent manages to do so with other cards, and its high health means that it is nearly impossible to defeat before it can claim the building.

- The Inferno Tower and the Tesla are the only buildings that can hit air troops(excluding the Crown Towers), with the Inferno Tower being the only Rare building being able to do so.
