In this guide, we'll explain how the Meteor Golem works in Clash of Clans and show you the unit's key stats.
The Meteor Golem is an Elixir-based Troop that you can unlock at Town Hall 17, after you upgrade your Barracks to Level 19. This cosmic unit is capable of crushing enemy bases from afar and already has a reputation for being difficult to counter.
Its in-game description is as follows:
From the cosmos, to your army! This lob-loving duo will throw themselves at anything for up-close damage. When separated, Meteormites will attack nearby targets or find a friend to form a Meteor Golem!
The Meteor Golem first appeared in Clash of Clans as a temporary troop during the Cosmic Rock Medal Event, and, due to its huge popularity amongst players, was made a permanent member of the roster after the Town Hall 18 update.

How the Meteor Golem Works in Clash of Clans
The Meteor Golem is essentially a two-in-one Troop that uses its ability to split into two to its advantage. This manifests in their attacking style, as the Meteor Golem is capable of throwing one half of its body, known as a Meteormite, at an enemy target from up to 5 tiles away. Upon landing, it deals area damage to both ground and air units/buildings.
After splitting up, the two halves can attack nearby enemies or reconnect with their original half or a half of another Meteor Golem to form a single Troop again. It will temporarily become immune to damage after rejoining with one another. The Meteor Golem will then repeat the same process for its next attack.
The total HP of the Meteor Golem after it combines into one unit again is determined by the current individual health of both Meteormites. Take note that cloned Meteor Golems cannot merge back with one another.
Overall, the Meteor Golem is a unique Troop that can be of great use in bypassing high-level enemy walls, as Meteormites can be thrown over them, and punishing enemies who position their buildings too close to one another.
