  • Attack: Place Giants around one side of base (preferably side with weaker defenses). Place Wizards behind to make sure you can funnel and use the giants' high health to protect them for as long as possible. You want to make sure you don't place everything down at once and save the Healer for your Giants when they most need it or they clump up all together for splash healing.

TH7: Mass Dragons

  • Troops: Use all Dragons with Lightning Spells for Clan Castle troops or to take down an air defense. Take advantage of the new hero and use Barbarian king's ability when at level 5.

When looking for the attack strategy for you, you need to take into account your troop levels and ability, as well as clan castle troops for yourself and the opponent. Clan castle troops from members of your clan will help your attack in the way that you need them too. Extra spells, troops, and siege machines that will get to the town hall or destroy other buildings. For every town hall, you want to make sure that you max out your troops before upgrading to the next town hall. Having troops that are the highest level for your town hall is a huge advantage when attacking, especially if you are attacking someone that is a higher level town hall than you. Maxing out your hero’s will give you a huge advantage while attacking because the ability will get better every five levels. At town Hall 14, you unlock the pet shop. This is very useful during your attacks because pets have certain abilities that are very useful when paired with your hero’s.

These are all the pets that you can pair with your hero's while attacking in Clash of Clans. (Photo: Supercell)
