February 2026 is a massive month for Clash of Clans (CoC). With the meta shifting toward Town Hall 17 and the launch of the Year of the Fire Horse season, players are scrambling for the best army compositions and event rewards. Whether you’re pushing trophies or fighting in the Clan War Leagues (CWL), here is everything you need to dominate the battlefield today.
🐲 Top TH17 Attack Strategies (February 2026)
The defensive power of TH17 is immense, but these three strategies are currently holding a 90%+ 3-star rate in Legend League.
1. Double Clone Recall Mass Dragons
The most consistent “spam” strategy of 2026.
- The Goal: Use a mini Queen Charge to destroy one Air Defense, then Recall her.
- The Push: Send Dragons, Balloons, and your Battle Blimp into the core.
- The Key: Use Double Clone Spells on the Balloons coming out of the Blimp to instantly overwhelm the TH17 Giga Inferno.
2. Spirit Walk Root Riders
Root Riders remain the best ground troop for pathing.
- The Strategy: Pair Root Riders with the new Spirit Pet. The Spirit’s ability to “jump” and heal through walls allows Root Riders to bypass the new volcanic defense tiles introduced this season.
- Spell Comp: Use Overgrowth Spells to freeze Rage Towers while your Queen cleans up the perimeter.
3. Fireball Warden Charge (Rocket Balloons)
A high-skill, high-reward strategy favored by pro players.
- How it works: Use the Fireball Hero Equipment on the Grand Warden to snipe clusters of defenses early.
- Cleanup: Once the core is gutted, deploy Rocket Balloons to quickly target the remaining outer defenses.
🐎 Year of the Fire Horse: February Event Calendar
The Lunar New Year celebration is live! Here is the schedule for rewards you cannot miss:
- Feb 3 – Feb 28: Year of the Fire Horse Scenery (XL) available in the shop. This is the first “XL” scale scenery with interactive secrets.
- Feb 9 – Feb 26:Wise Warriors Medal Event. Collect Wisdom Scrolls during multiplayer attacks to unlock:
- New Epic Equipment: The “Fire Horse” scepter for the Barbarian King.
- Exclusive Troop: The Demon Bull King (Temporary event troop).
- Feb 22 – Feb 28: Clan Games. The max tier (50,000 points) will feature a Book of Building, essential for TH17 upgrade times.
🎁 Clash of Clans “Redeem” Codes & Creator Boosts
While CoC rarely uses traditional “gift codes,” you can use Creator Codes to support your favorite builders and sometimes unlock hidden shop offers.
- Support a Creator: Go to Settings > More Settings > Support a Creator and enter “JUDO”, “ITSU”, or “CLASHCHAMPS”.
- Supercell Store: Log into the Supercell Store today to claim your Daily Reward, which often includes free Potions or Ores during the Lunar season.
🛠️ TH17 Upgrade Priority List
If you’ve just hit Town Hall 17 this February, focus your Builders in this order:
- Laboratory: To unlock the power of TH17 Power Potions.
- Clan Castle: Extra housing space is vital for the Dragon Clone meta.
- Pet House: To begin leveling the Spirit Pet.
- Eagle Artillery: The TH17 upgrade adds a “Burn” effect to every strike.
🏁 Final Pro-Tip for CWL
The Clan War Leagues are active from Feb 1–11. Make sure your Heroes are not upgrading! Use a Hero Potion if you are at a lower Town Hall level to boost your Hero levels to the maximum allowed for your TH, giving you a massive advantage in war.
