Queen Charge LaLo (Lava Hound + Balloon)

Now that you’ve finally unlocked the Archer Queen, you can dive right in and start practicing the Queen Charge strategy. In this variation of the Queen Charge, we’ll be utilizing the LaLo or the Lava Hound + Balloons. Keep in mind you will need a high-level Archer Queen (Level 20+)! For this army composition, you will need the following:

Queen Placement

  1. First, you’re going to start your Queen Charge. You will aim to remove the enemy Archer Queen and the Clan Castle Troops with your Queen Charge.

  2. Use the Baby Dragon to help funnel your Queen into the base.

  3. Use your Rage Spell on your Queen and Healers when they make contact with the enemy Queen.

  4. Use your Poison Spell for the enemy Clan Castle Troops, and use another Rage on your Queen if necessary.

  5. Once everything is dealt with, you can now begin the LaLo.

  6. Start with one Lava Hound in front of an Air Defense, and send in Balloons behind it in groups of three or four.

  7. Gradually scale your placements and send in your second Hound near the first group.

  8. Use your Haste and Freeze Spells to help your Balloons take out the Air Defenses.

Zap Quake Dragons

Next up is a popular strategy used in lower Town Halls, the infamous Zap Dragons strategy. However, now that you can access the Earthquake spell, the Zap Dragon strategy can be much more effective. Cook up this army to try it out:

Destroying Air Defenses

  1. You will need maxed-out Lightning and Earthquake Spells for this army to work. You will also need an Earthquake Spell in your Clan Castle!

  2. Take out two Air Defenses using three Lightning Spells and one Earthquake Spell on each Air Defense.

  3. Try to take out an Air Defense with Air Sweepers next to it for more value.

  4. Next, pick a side of the base you will attack from. Once decided, put your Heroes on one side and your Baby Dragon on the other.

  5. These troops will create a funnel for your Dragons to go into the middle of the base.

  6. After the funneling is good, deploy your Clan Castle Hound, and follow up with your Dragons and Balloons.

  7. If funneled correctly, your main army will head straight into the middle of the base. You will have one Rage Spell to use when these troops reach critical points (enemy Archer Queen).

Witch Slap

The Witch Slap is one of the most popular strategies at Town Hall 9 and isn’t too difficult to pull off. However, you will need max-level Witches to reach its maximum potential. You’ll also need some clanmates to pass you some Bowlers. For the Witch Slap, this is the army you will need:

Witches on each side

  1. The Clan Castle Bowlers are crucial in this army, so we don’t recommend it if you can’t request Bowlers.

  2. You’re going to pick one side of the base to attack from. Then, deploy four Witches and two Healers on the left and right sides. These troops will create a funnel for your main squad to break into the base.

  3. In the middle, deploy everything you have left: your Golem, two Witches, Clan Castle Bowlers, and both Heroes. This is your main kill squad that will go in the center of the base.

  4. Support your kill squad with Jump Spells and Rage Spells to help them reach the center.

  5. Use your Poison Spells in case any enemy Clan Castle Troops pop out.

  6. Drop your remaining Rage and Jump Spells whenever necessary, and your army should be good to go!

Queen Charge Hogs

We’re back to the Queen Charge strategy, but we will use Hog Riders instead of the LaLo this time. The Queen Charge Hogs strategy is the perfect army to help you practice your Queen Charges, as it is one of the best Clash of Clans attack strategies. Keep in mind you will need a high-level Archer Queen (Level 20+)! Here’s what the army will look like:

Funneling The Queen

  1. Start your Queen Walk on one side of the base.

  2. You will use your two Baby Dragons and Wizard to create a funnel, ensuring that your Queen is headed towards the inside of the base.

  3. The goal of the Queen is to take out the Clan Castle Troops and as many buildings as possible.

  4. Let your Queen develop, dropping Rage Spells when she starts getting low and dropping your Poison Spell if Clan Castle Troops come out.

  5. Around the 25-30% destruction mark, you can deploy all your Hog Riders.

  6. You will have three Heal Spells to keep your Hog Riders safe. Just identify the biggest group of Hog Riders and focus on that.

GoHogs

We will throw it back to Town Hall 8 and bring back the GoHogs strategy, but only for good reason. The main difference between the TH8 version of GoHogs is you now have access to Jump Spells. For GoHogs, you’re going to train this army:

Creating A Funnel

  1. First, you’ll use some Wizards to clear outer buildings you can take out for free. These Wizards will create a funnel for your kill squad.

  2. Next, you will deploy two Golems, your Clan Castle PEKKA, and both Heroes. These troops will act as your kill squad.

  3. The objective of this kill squad is to take out the enemy Clan Castle Troops and deal as much damage to the core of the base as possible.

  4. Use Jump and Rage Spells to help your squad go into the center of the base, and use your Poison Spell to clear out the enemy Clan Castle Troops.

  5. Then, it will be time to let your Hog Riders loose. You will have two Healing Spells to spend on these Hog Riders.
