▶️ The September Update (should be) live in game right now and today Hooked will show you an updated top 5 attack strategies at Town Hall 16.
This includes Edragons, Warden Chareg Rocket Balloons, Root Rider Overgrowth Valk Spam, Dragon Clone Blimp and Fireball Druid Super Witch Smash!
5) Electro Dragons: Speed and Power
First on our list is the classic Electro Dragon army. This powerful air strategy can wipe out a base in just 60 seconds if used correctly. The key to this strategy is the compact core of enemy bases, where Electro Dragons can chain their lightning strikes and cause massive damage.
For hero equipment, the King’s gear depends on how much damage he’ll take. If he’s just clearing the outer areas, we recommend Vam Stash for extra protection. However, if he's absorbing more damage, the Giant Gauntlet is a better option. The Queen works best with Giant Arrow and Healer Puppet when using this army, while the Warden’s Healing T is still a reliable choice despite its recent nerf. To finish the attack, we use the Royal Champion with the Rocket Spear to snipe critical air defenses.
Remember, always use the Stone Slammer for funneling, and time your rages and freezes well to keep those Electro Dragons alive. This strategy excels when you can pop the Warden’s ability early and control the battle with well-placed rage spells.

4) Warden Charge Mass Rocket Balloons: Skill-Based Destruction
Next up is the Warden Charge Mass Rocket Balloons, a more advanced strategy but incredibly rewarding when executed properly. The key here is the Warden Charge and Fireball, where the goal is to target high-value defenses like the Eagle Artillery and Monolith early on.
With this army, the King benefits most from Giant Gauntlet and Spiky Ball to maximize damage output. The Healer Puppet and Mirror Clone are crucial for the Queen, while the Warden’s Fireball ensures you deal guaranteed damage to the enemy base. A well-placed Flame Flinger can further boost your attack, allowing you to whittle down defenses from afar.
This strategy works wonders when you use your Rocket Balloons to surgically take out air-targeting defenses, especially when combined with the Rocket Spear on the Royal Champion. Timing is crucial here, as you need to ensure your Balloons don’t fall behind. It’s a high-skill strategy, but once you master it, the results are devastating.

3) Root Rider Spam: Simple but Strong
At number three, we have the Root Rider Spam. This strategy is super effective and easy to use, making it a favorite for many players. Even though it was slightly nerfed in the update, it remains a go-to option for quick, reliable three-star attacks.
The strength of this army lies in its spammy nature—get your King and Queen to create a funnel, and then let your Root Riders flood the base. Hero equipment like the Invis Vial and Healer Puppet are perfect for this setup, keeping your heroes alive and dealing maximum damage.
With a Siege Barracks helping from one side and your Root Riders pushing through the core, you can overpower even the toughest defenses. Make sure to use your Royal Champion alongside the Root Riders to maximize her damage output and clear the base faster.

2) Dragon Clone: Power and Flexibility
The Dragon Clone strategy has survived the balance changes unscathed, making it a strong contender in the current meta. Its simplicity and power allow for some flexibility—you can make mistakes and still secure a three-star!
The hero equipment for this strategy is similar to the Electro Dragon setup, but with a crucial change: the Owl for the Warden. The Owl adds valuable damage that complements the Dragons, which don’t rely on chain lightning like the Electro Dragons.
When using this army, it’s important to clone your Balloons onto key defenses behind the Town Hall. This allows your Dragons to avoid the deadly Town Hall poison and clear out high-value targets like Scattershots and Inferno Towers. This strategy is fast, efficient, and perfect for those looking for a reliable three-star attack.

1) Super Witch Druid Fireball: Unstoppable Power
Topping our list is the Super Witch Druid Fireball. This strategy is nearly unbeatable, even after the update. With a combination of Super Witches and Druids, you get both heavy tanking power and continuous healing, making it extremely hard to stop.
For hero equipment, you have some flexibility. The Rage Vial and Spiky Ball are great for the King, while the Healer Puppet and Mirror Clone ensure your Queen stays alive. The Fireball is used to create a funnel, while the Siege Barracks and Super Witches handle the core.
What makes this strategy so strong is the sheer durability of the Super Witches. Even when things go wrong, they can power through thanks to the support of the Druids. With proper execution, this army can clear even the toughest Town Hall 16 bases.

With these top 5 strategies, we can approach any Town Hall 16 base with confidence. Whether you’re a fan of air spam with Electro Dragons, a skillful Warden Charge Rocket Balloon expert, or love the reliability of Super Witches, there’s something for everyone in the current meta.
Experiment with these strategies, find what works best for you, and watch those three stars roll in!
