🐲 Top Town Hall 17 Attack Strategies (February 2026)
With the latest balance changes, air attacks are currently dominating the TH17 leaderboard. Here are the three most successful 3-star strategies being used in Legend League today:
1. Double Clone Recall Mass Dragons
- The Concept: A high-power air spam that uses the Recall Spell to maximize Hero value.
- The Setup: Start with a Queen Charge to snipe one Air Defense, then Recall her. Deploy Dragons, Balloons, and your Battle Blimp toward the core.
- The Finisher: Use Double Clone Spells on the Balloons exiting the Blimp to instantly delete the Town Hall 17 Giga Inferno.
2. Spirit Walk Root Riders
- The Concept: Utilizing the Spirit Pet (Spirit Walk) to keep Root Riders alive through the core.
- The Setup: Pair Root Riders with Healers and the Spirit Pet. Use Overgrowth Spells to temporarily deactivate Rage Towers and X-Bows while your troops path through the center.
3. Warden Charge Fireball (Rocket Balloons)
- The Concept: High-skill, high-reward surgical strike.
- The Setup: Use the Fireball Epic Equipment on the Grand Warden to wipe out a cluster of heavy defenses (Eagle Artillery/Monolith) early. Cleanup the perimeter with Rocket Balloons once the core is destroyed.

🏘️ TH17 Defense Tips for CWL
If you are struggling to defend in CWL, the current meta recommends:

- Inferno Artillery: Ensure your Inferno Artillery is protected by at least one Rage Tower to maximize its burn damage.
