Summary

Archer Towers are single-target defenses in the Home Village. They are the second defense available to players and the first defense to attack aerial troops, unlocked at Town Hall 2.
Archer Towers are extremely versatile structures. They are able to target both ground and air units , and they have excellent range. This versatility means that they should form the cornerstone of every player's defense.
Starting from level 10, which is at Town Hall 8, an Archer Tower can be geared up by the Master Builder if he is available and at least one Archer Tower in the Builder Base is upgraded to level 6, which is at Builder Hall 6. This gives the Archer Tower a "Fast Attack" mode, which doubles its damage output at the expense of its range, like the Archer Towers in Builder Base.
At Town Hall 16, two level 21 Archer Towers that are not geared up can be merged to form a Multi-Archer Tower .

Strategies

Archer Towers can target both ground and air units at an amazing distance. Therefore, it is generally a good idea to place them on the outer perimeter of the village . Doing so allows players to capitalize on the excellent range and provides good coverage for the rest of the defenses.
As Archer Towers have the ability to target both ground and air units, a good strategy would be to place all of the other defenses within range of at least one Archer Tower. At lower Town Halls, it is a great idea to put Archer Towers in the core of the base because of their long range so they can defend the whole base.
At lower Town Halls, it is a great idea to put Archer Towers in the core of the base because of their long range so they can defend the whole base.
It is typically a good idea to upgrade Archer Towers before you upgrade Cannons . Although they are more expensive and take longer to upgrade than similar-level Cannons, Archer Towers have more range and can target air units as well as ground units .
It is typically wise to put an Archer Tower near a Cannon or Mortar due to the fact that neither of these two defenses can target air units.
Placing Fast-Attack Archer Towers in particular weak-spots or possible "Queen Walk" areas allows it to quickly take down any sponges such as Giants , P.E.K.K.As , Dragons and even Lava Hounds , and also can deal damage to an Archer Queen in a Queen Walk.
Placing a Wizard Tower , Scattershot or Air Bomb near an Archer Tower can help with its single-target weakness, especially against hordes of Minions and Balloon Parades.

Offensive Strategy

Their ability to target both ground and air units makes the Archer Towers formidable defenders. However, Archer Towers are only able to damage one unit at a time. This makes it very easy to overwhelm them with large groups of Archers , Minions or Barbarians .
When deploying only a few Balloons , it is advisable to keep them away from an Archer Tower, as their slow movement speed makes them an easy target. However, Balloons deployed in large numbers will quickly destroy an Archer Tower while only losing one or two Balloons. After the Archer Towers (and Air Defenses ) are taken out, the Balloons will proceed to destroy the rest of the village (although Wizard Towers and time can still be a problem). You can also place a group of Archers (around 15-25) and let them do the work.
The best choices for attack are high health troops combined with low health, high attack troops, as the high health troops will soak up all the damage, leaving the low health ones to attack.
At higher levels, Archer Towers are placed outside Walls with low-health buildings. Strong solo troops like a Super Barbarian , P.E.K.K.A. , or a Valkyrie can destroy it.

Upgrade Differences

When initially constructed, the Archer Tower has four pillars with an open wooden lattice tied with ropes supporting a flat wooden platform; an exterior wooden ladder with about five rungs which leads from the ground to the platform level.
At level 2, the platform gets four short posts over the pillar and the wood gets thicker and more refurbished. The ladder also gets shifted slightly to the left.
At level 3, the base of the pillar gets gray stone paddings and wooden beams connects the short posts on the platform. The ladder moves back to the middle.

At level 15, the edge of the battlements is thicker and flush. The corner piece is now dark iron with smaller spikes, the bottom corner pieces are parallel to the top and no longer have the shield shape, protruding outwards and fused with the reinforcement. The reinforcement of the tower becomes a smooth concrete-like material. The spikes on the reinforcements disappear and the brass ring becomes even bigger.
At level 16, the corner pieces become a shiny silver metal, which slanted down from the middle, extends lower to fully cover the dark iron pillar which also removed the spikes. The reinforcements of the tower are now overhauled to no longer be one big piece and the brass ring is removed. The pillars are visible again and is petrol blue, with a gold band above the bolted steel-gray reinforcement, as well as electric coils on the sides replacing the brass plates.

There is no need to train an Archer to have the Archer Tower, nor do have to unlock the Archer in your Barracks . Any upgrades to Archers from the Laboratory have no effect on the Archer Tower whatsoever.
When upgrading, the tower appears in the War Base as the previous level, with no Archer on top, although it is completely functional. (The same also holds true for the Wizard Towers).
In some cases, a visual error occurs in War Bases which the Archer Tower's mode can sometimes have the Archer placed much higher into the air in Fast Attack mode, and vice versa for the Normal Mode.
Even though you cannot upgrade Archers to level 5 until you upgrade your Laboratory to level 6 (which requires a level 8 Town Hall ), the Archers atop a level 8 Archer Tower (the max level for Town Hall 7) resemble level 5 Archers.
The level 11 Archer Tower in LOST & CROWNED short film contradicts the current design of the level 11 Archer Tower.
A player can build up to nine Archer Towers total, which outnumbers any other defensive building (not counting traps or Walls). However, only eight can exist at once as the ninth is available at Town Hall 17 which requires merging some of them into Multi-Archer Tower first.
Interestingly, the Archer atop the Archer Tower deals more damage than normal Archers, though on a per-shot basis, this is not true for level 1, and depending on interpretation of the Archer level, may not be true for levels 2 and 5.
Despite not being available as a card in Clash Royale , the Archer Tower can be seen in the Barbarian Bowl arena as a decoration.
In the teasers for Hammer Jam 2024 and Town Hall 17, some the Archer Towers used the old level 14 design with chains instead of any of the current designs.
After gearing up, the Archer Tower can sometime lose its Archer temporary, but can still shoot as normal.
