Defense merging will be one of the many new features in the TH16 update in Clash of Clans

Instead of introducing a fresh defense building, the developer will offer a new defense merging feature in its TH16 update. Upon unlocking Town Hall 16, the in-game store will offer the ability to merge maxed Archer Towers and Cannons to produce the Multi-Archer Tower and Ricochet Cannons. These fresh defense buildings' abilities are discussed below:

Multi-Archer Tower: The union of two maxed Archer Towers will simultaneously hit three different targets. Additionally, it's designed to complement the nature-themed appearance of the new TH16. Therefore, it features a red-and-yellow color scheme.

Ricochet Cannon: This powerful defense building possesses more than double the amount of HP and damage output of a regular Level 21 cannon. Moreover, its projectiles don't stop after hitting their target; they bounce off the first target to hit the second one.

Note that Clash of Clans developers haven't revealed the cost of the defense merging ability. More information on this feature can be announced in the upcoming sneak peeks.
