Town Hall 17 is one of the most fun stages in Clash of Clans!
Players often get confused about what attack strategies to use when they reach TH17.
To solve that problem, I've written this article!
In this article, I'm going to provide you with the top 3 most powerful Town Hall 17 attack strategies in Clash of Clans.
I've explained every one of the attack strategies in detail.
So, without any further ado, let's get started!
1. The Meta Dragon Attack Strategy
To use it, you require the following army:
- 17 Dragons
- 2 Clone Spells
- 1 Freeze spell
- 2 Skeleton spells
- 1 Overgrowth spell
- Battle Blimp (3 Yetis in CC)
- 1 Rage spell, 1 Poison spell in CC
- Barbarian King (Spiky Ball & Earthquake Boots)
- Archer Queen (Giant Arrow & Healer Puppet)
- Grand Warden (Eternal Tome & Healing Tome)
- Royal Champion (Electro Boots & Hog Rider Puppet)
Firstly, deploy the Archer Queen, and use the Giant Arrow to take down at least one Air Sweeper.
Then, deploy the Barbarian King near Queen.
Deploy all the Dragons on one side of the base, followed by the Grand Warden.
Then, deploy the Battle Blimp.
Use the Warden's ability in a way so that the Battle Blimp takes in minimal damage and can get to the core of the base.
Once the Battle Blimp reaches the core of the base, break it, drop the clone spells and rage spell!
The CC Yetis will bring out huge value.
Use the Skeleton Spells to distract the defenses.
And most importantly, if you see defense-heavy compartments, you can use the Overgrowth spell there so that your army has time to get there and wipe them.
On the other side of the base, deploy the Royal Champion, so it would take out the remaining defenses.
If required, activate its ability so that the Hog Riders can act as its tank, and the RC can take down the defenses.
And, just like that, you will 3-star almost any Town Hall 17 base using this meta Dragon strategy!
2. The Classic Electro Dragon Strategy
To use it, you require the following army:
- 10 Electro Dragons
- 8 Balloons
- 3 Rage spells
- 5 Freeze spells
- Battle Blimp (7 Balloons, 1 Dragon in CC)
- 1 Rage spell, 1 Poison spell in CC
- Barbarian King (Spiky Ball & Earthquake Boots)
- Archer Queen (Giant Arrow & Healer Puppet)
- Grand Warden (Eternal Tome & Healing Tome)
- Royal Champion (Seeking Shield & Rocket Spear)
Firstly, deploy the Archer Queen, and use its Giant Arrow ability to take down at least one Air Sweeper.
Then, deploy the Barbarian King nearby to clear up the buildings.
From one side, deploy few balloons to take in the seeking air mines (if any).
Then, deploy all the Electro Dragons and balloons, followed by Grand Warden.
Then, deploy the Battle Blimp.
Use the Warden's ability such that the Blimp is able to enter into the core of the base.
Use the Rage and freeze spells as necessary.
When the Electro Dragons have almost reached the core of the base, deploy the Royal Champion near the back side of the base.
The RC will clean up the remaining defenses.
And with that, you will be able to 3-star the Town Hall 17 base in no time!
3. The Dragon Rider Strategy
To use it, you need the following army:
- 10 Dragon Riders
- 4 Dragons
- 1 Baby Dragon
- 1 Overgrowth Spell
- 7 Invisibility Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- Battle Blimp (1 Yeti, 1 Super Yeti in CC)
- 1 Poison spell, 1 Revive spell in CC
- Archer Queen (Giant Arrow & Healer Puppet)
- Grand Warden (Eternal Tome & Healing Tome)
- Royal Champion (Rocket Spear & Electro Boots)
- Minion Prince (Meteor Staff & Dark Orb)
Firstly, we have to deploy the Royal Champion, and do the RC charge with the invisibility spells.
Take out as many high value defenses as possible!
Then, deploy your Archer Queen, use its Giant Arrow to take down at least one Air Sweeper (if possible).
Deploy all the Dragon Riders, Dragons, Minion Prince and Grand Warden, and let them go inside the core.
Deploy the Battle Blimp after a second, and use the Warden's ability on time so that the Blimp can get into the core of the base.
Drop the Rage spell when the Blimp breaks, and that should take out a large value from the base.
Use the poison spell if opponent's CC troops come out.
And, using the revive spell, you can revive your Royal Champion, and it would take out the remaining defenses out there!
