This Furnace Attack is So OP, It Feels Like Cheating!
But wait, let me guess!
After seeing the new Furnace troop (missed it? Check it out!), you were like, "I'll just stick to the old armies, this new troop is useless." We're about to prove that wrong. This new troop can be game-changing, and the best part??
We’ve just tweaked the meta army: Warden Charge Rocket Loons a little bit—so it's nothing brand new, just even more powerful and simpler.
Why Replace Rocket Balloons with Furnaces? [Fire mites]
Rocket Balloons have been a solid choice for sniping defenses, but let’s be real—they’re not that effective at Town Hall 17. Furnaces, on the other hand, last 60 seconds, spawn Fire Mites, and create an insane funnel while shredding trash buildings. This means your heroes stay on track, and you don’t waste time on scattered buildings.

▶️ How to Use Warden Charge Mass Furnace (Easy Steps)
1️⃣ Start the Warden Charge
-
Deploy the Warden with Healers in a safe spot.
-
Use Sneezy Pet (optional) to trigger Poison Towers early.
-
Be careful of Rage Towers—triggering them too early can be a problem.
2️⃣ Drop the Furnaces at the Right Time
-
DON’T wait too long—Furnaces last 60 seconds max.
-
Place them in safe zones, preferably corner, just away from defenses that can target them.
-
Avoid putting them near enemy heroes—Furnaces are for funneling, not tickling heroes.
3️⃣ Deploy Your Heroes
-
King + Minion Prince OR King + Royal Champion (Pick ONE setup)
-
If using Minion Prince, equip Noble Iron and target defenses directly.
-
If using Royal Champion, focus on cleaning up leftover defenses.
-
-
Furnaces will guide your heroes into the core—this is crucial for success.
4️⃣ Clean Up with the Right Finisher
-
If your Minion Prince is alive, use soells to extend his value.
-
If you have Royal Champion, time her Spear Thrower ability to finish off key defenses.
-
The Fire Mites should clear out the rest—sometimes, you won’t even need cleanup troops!
Key Tips & Mistakes to Avoid ❌
✅ Use Furnaces for funneling, not for fighting enemy heroes.
✅ Replace Rocket Balloons with Furnaces for better value at TH17.
✅ Be mindful of traps—seek air mines can ruin your Minion Prince charge.
❌ Never put the Unicorn Pet on Warden—Ricochet Cannons will delete it.
❌ Avoid triggering Rage Towers too soon, or defenses will hit much harder.
So, Is This the Best Furnace Attack Strategy?
The Furnace is definitely stronger than Rocket Balloons for this strategy. But it has less flexibility—Rocket Balloons can be used anywhere, while Furnaces need specific placements. If you place them right, they can wipe out entire sections of a base. But bad placement? You’ll waste troop space for nothing.
If you're looking for a powerful, hero-driven attack that destroys bases effortlessly, this is one of the best attack strategies at TH17.
Want to Triple ANY Base Like a Pro? 🔥
Any troop—whether it be this new furnace or an old one—has insane potential when used correctly. We bet you've seen pros wreck bases with armies that make no sense, while the same army flops when you try it.
It's not the army. It’s how you use it.
