Dragons at Town Hall 17 Are Wild (Even Today)

Long-time Clashers know: Dragons have been the OG spam army since Clash started. But at Town Hall 17, they aren’t just spammy noobs flying across the map anymore. These armies can shred bases in wars and CWL if you know what you’re doing. Honestly though, half the time we still just yeet them at a base and pray. And sometimes? It works.

So here’s the deal. We’re breaking down the 3 best TH17 Dragon Attack Strategies. No fluff. Just straight armies you can copy, with quick step-by-step on how to actually not throw.

▶️ Best TH17 Dragon Armies

Here’s the lineup we’ll cover:

• RC Charge into Dragons: a clever split push with Super Yeti clone backup

• Super Yeti Clone Dragons: not meta, but spicy when it hits

• Hydra: dragons + riders + blimp clone, the OG spam army but smarter

1. RC Charge into Dragons 🔗

This one’s a mix of brains and brawn. You let your Royal Champion sneak into the core, clear nasty defenses, and then your dragons sweep through with less pain. Think of it like sending a ninja ahead before dropping a dragon parade.

How to Execute

1. Funnel first. Use RC to snipe key defenses (core expos, towers).

2. Drop Dragons in a clean line—don’t clump like a noob.

3. Time spells to keep the big group alive through rage towers and poison.

4. Clean up with minions, heroes, or leftover troops.

2. Super Yeti Clone Dragons 🔗

This strategy is like gambling with style. You throw cloned Yetis into the core and hope they wreck enough so the dragons can just coast. Not super consistent, but when it works, it feels unfair.

How to Execute

1. Start with Yetis or RC to break defenses and create a hole.

2. Line up Dragons to push toward the core.

3. Clone spell the Yetis when they’re deep for maximum chaos.

4. Keep your Queen + Warden alive to finish the last defenses.

3. Hydra (Dragons + Dragon Riders) 🔗

The old-school Hydra is back at TH17 and still hits hard. It’s dragons + riders + blimp clone action. Think of it as “spam but with a brain.” It works especially well on bases with open cores and poison towers.

How to Execute

1. Funnel with baby dragons, inferno dragons, or a couple loons.

2. Drop your main Hydra (dragons + riders + warden) straight into the base.

3. Send blimp to Town Hall, clone + rage for big value.

4. Let heroes clean up on the side—don’t be afraid to pop abilities early.

All 3 armies are super easy to execute. Just give all three of them a try and see which one works best for you. Thanks us later when your attack log is raining triples.

Why Your Base is Failing (& How to Fix it) 💡

People are going crazy to learn the meta armies—be it dragons, Root Riders, or even the Fireball army. And here’s the thing: the meta is so broken right now that even mid-level players can wreck your base with these strats.

So if you’re wondering why your base isn’t holding in Legends, Wars, or CWL—it’s not because you’re bad. It’s because you’re not using the right base.

The fix? You need a base built specifically to defend against meta armies like these dragon attacks. That’s exactly what you’ll get in our TH17 Blue Pack, bases designed with anti-meta traps and layouts for every format.
