Easiest TH18 Attack Strategy Right Now: Dragon Duke + Dragon Riders
Town Hall 18 attacks are getting wild. New defenses, weird traps, spell towers doing annoying things… sometimes it feels like the base designer woke up and chose violence.
But then this army shows up.
And suddenly bases start disappearing in under two minutes.
We’ve been testing a lot of TH18 armies lately, and honestly… this might be the easiest TH18 attack strategy in the game right now. It’s fast, forgiving, and even when the attack gets a little messy, it still triples. We’ve had a few attacks where we thought “yeah this is probably a fail”… and the base still vanished.
The idea is simple.
Dragon Duke on one side. Queen on the other. Dragon Riders smash the middle.
Three angles of pressure.
Defenses panic.
Base melts.
Let’s get into it.

▶️ How to Use Dragon Riders + Dragon Duke Army at TH18
If you want the quick version, just follow these steps:
-
Start with Dragon Duke on one side of the base to create the first funnel. Avoid dropping him near the Barbarian King or Guardian.
-
Drop the Queen + Siege Barracks on the opposite side to create the second funnel. Use the Queen ability early.
-
Send Dragon Riders, Infernal Baby Dragons, Warden, and Minion Prince straight through the middle of the base.
-
Place Totem Spells as your army pushes forward to distract defenses and heroes.
-
Use the Warden ability in the core to protect your army from traps and heavy damage.
-
Activate the Minion Prince ability once your push turns toward the back end of the base.
-
Use Revive Spells on any hero that goes down (usually Dragon Duke or the Queen).
-
Deploy cleanup troops around the outside to finish remaining buildings.
That’s it.
Honestly, after a few attacks this becomes almost automatic.
Why This Army Is So Hard to Defend Right Now
This army creates three separate attack points at the same time.
Dragon Duke on one side.
Queen on the other.
Dragon Riders blasting through the middle.
Most bases simply can’t handle that kind of pressure.
And Dragon Duke himself is ridiculous. The hero has insane health and shrugs off traps like they’re nothing. We’ve literally watched him eat a gigabomb and keep walking like nothing happened.
While defenses try to deal with him… the Dragon Riders are already destroying the core.
It’s chaos.
But the good kind.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A few small mistakes can mess up the attack.
Dropping Dragon Duke near the Barbarian King
He’ll get stuck fighting him forever.
Forgetting the Siege Barracks with the Queen
That extra funneling matters more than it looks.
Bad Totem placement
Since the radius got reduced, you want them placed carefully.
Using revive spells too early
Wait until a hero actually goes down.

But This Army Can Triple Your Base Too (Fix it Now!)
If you’re crushing bases with the easiest TH18 attack strategy, remember that your opponents could do the same if you aren't prepared. You should have a base that is hard to break.
That’s exactly why we built our TH18 pro base packs.
Our bases are:
• Built by professional builders
• Designed to defend the latest meta armies
• Delivered instantly to your mail
• Limited to only a small number of players
That last part matters a lot.
Because popular bases online? Attackers have already practiced triples on them.
Our bases stay fresh, unfamiliar, and much harder to attack.
So while you’re tripling bases in war… your opponents are struggling to even secure a two-star.
