Best TH13 Attack Strategy: Queen Charge Hybrid
Queen Charge Hybrid is one of the most powerful attack strategies at Town Hall 13 — and once you understand how the funnel works, it becomes surprisingly repeatable. It doesn't just triple TH13 bases.
With the right execution, it handles TH14 bases and ESL-style competitive layouts too.
The secret is simple: build a clean two-sided funnel, give your Miners and Hog Riders one clear path through the base, and let the hybrid do what it does best. Everything else follows from that.
Let's break it down.
⚙️ Queen Charge Hybrid Army Composition + Army Link 🔗
Army:
- Miners (main push — deployed in a controlled line)
- Hog Riders (alongside Miners for the hybrid push)
- Healers (support the Queen Charge, then transfer to hybrid)
- Wall Breakers (minimum 2 — always carry a spare)
- Coco Balloon (1 — ahead of Queen to absorb Seeking Air Mines)
- Cleanup troops
Siege Machine: Flame Flinger or Siege Barracks (both mentioned across replays — Flame Flinger for outside cutting, Siege Barracks for controlled hybrid entry)
Spells: Heal (multiple), Rage, Freeze, Poison, Invisibility (for tough bases with stacked Infernos), Recall (for advanced Queen management)
Heroes: Barbarian King, Archer Queen (with Healers), Grand Warden, Royal Champion

▶️ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Triple with Queen Charge Hybrid
The whole strategy is built around two phases — the Queen Charge and the Hybrid push. Get both right and the base collapses cleanly.
Phase 1: The Queen Charge
The Queen Charge isn't just about getting stars — it's about building the funnel. Every building she clears creates a cleaner path for your Miners and Hog Riders to follow.
- Identify a clear entry angle for the Queen — her goal is to reach the Town Hall and key defenses like Single Target Infernos, Eagle Artillery, or the enemy Clan Castle
- Send a Coco Balloon ahead of the Queen to absorb any Seeking Air Mines before your Healers arrive
- Use a Wall Breaker to open the initial layer and let the Queen move deeper — always carry an extra Wall Breaker in case the first path closes off
- When the Clan Castle troops come out, drop a Poison Spell and let the Queen handle them — don't panic and burn spells early
- If the Inferno Tower locks onto the Queen, use a Rage spell followed by a Freeze to keep her alive and clear the section
- For bases with two Single Target Infernos around the Town Hall, use an Invisibility spell to force the Queen into the Town Hall section first — then Recall her before she faces both Infernos together; redeploy her on the back end to create the second funnel
Phase 2: The Hybrid Push
With the funnel shaped by the Queen Charge, the Miners and Hog Riders now have one clear path through the base.
- Start the Barbarian King and Siege Machine along the outside on the opposite side from the Queen — this creates the second side of the funnel and gives the hybrid a narrow, controlled channel to push through
- Deploy the Miners and Hog Riders in a controlled line — never dump them all at once; a clean line keeps them together and on the correct path
- Use an early Heal Spell as the hybrid enters the first high-damage section — Heal first, then Grand Warden ability through the next dangerous section, not the other way around
- As the hybrid reaches the core, drop a Rage Spell to keep the push moving through the heaviest defenses
- Deploy the Royal Champion behind the hybrid — she removes key defenses and helps collapse the core from the side
- On the back end, place the final Heal Spell over the Miners before they reach any remaining Single Target Infernos or high-damage defenses
💡 Tips and Edge Cases
The funnel is everything. Without a clean two-sided funnel, the hybrid will split and drift. Every decision in the Queen Charge phase should be made with one goal: giving the Miners and Hog Riders one clear route through the base.
Always carry an extra Wall Breaker. If the Queen's first path closes off, a spare Wall Breaker opens another option and keeps the charge under control. It has saved countless attacks that looked like they were falling apart.
Use the Recall Spell on tough bases. On bases with multiple Single Target Infernos clustered around the Town Hall, Recalling the Queen after she gets the Town Hall value keeps her alive and lets you redeploy her for the second funnel — far more valuable than burning through spells trying to keep her alive against two Infernos at once.
Heal before Warden, not after. A common mistake is popping the Grand Warden ability too early. Use the first Heal Spell to stabilize the hybrid as it enters the first heavy section, then save the Warden ability for the deeper push where the damage is highest.
The Healers transfer. As the Queen is recalled or finishes her phase, the Healers will naturally transfer onto the hybrid troops — giving the Miners and Hog Riders extra sustain through the core without you needing to do anything.
✅ Why It Works
This army isn't just strong at TH13 — it's one of the few strategies that consistently triples TH14 bases and ESL-style competitive layouts from a lower Town Hall.
The Queen Charge removes the most dangerous defenses before the main push starts. The Hybrid has clean pathing and Healer support throughout. The Barbarian King and Flame Flinger cut the second side of the funnel so the Miners never have to fight their way in blind.
When every phase is planned correctly and the spell timing is clean, even the toughest base layout becomes a controlled three star.
But What If You Face This Army?
Now that you're running one of the strongest TH13 armies in the game — your opponents are too.
A base that wasn't built to handle Queen Charge Hybrid gives attackers exactly what they want: clean funnel angles, predictable pathing, and a Hybrid push that faces no real resistance through the core.
