Reaching the highest Town Hall level, currently TH16, in Clash of Clans is a very long journey, requiring you to constantly level up different buildings and manage and reconstruct your base according to the increasing competition. It also demands consistent exploration of new army composition and attack strategy since you can't afford to lag behind in performing multiplayer raids while you level up TH and face harder enemy bases to conquer.
Besides leveling up the Town Halls, climbing up the Trophy League tiers also pits you against stronger foes, requiring you to hone your attack and defense strategy.
To that end, this article discusses the five best attack strategies for those between Town Hall 12 and 14 in Clash of Clans.

Top 5 Town Hall 12 attack strategies that Clash of Clans players should try out
5) Sneaky Goblins
One of the best offense strategies for players in Town Hall 12 is Sneaky Goblins attacks. They are the super troop variant of Goblins and require over 25,000 Dark Elixirs to be activated. Upon deploying on the battleground, these troops stay invisible for five seconds and inflict extra damage to their favorite targets–Resource buildings.
Although this attack strategy doesn’t guarantee three stars, it certainly leaves your collectors brimmed with loot. However, to win a battle with this strategy, you should focus on taking down the Town Hall first and then go for resource buildings.
Army composition:
- 88 Sneaky Goblins
- 8 Wall Breakers
- 5 Earthquake Spells
- 2 Haste Spells
- 2 Rage Spell
4) DragLoon
It is undoubtedly the easiest attacking strategy in the game as players have the experience of using it since TH7, but when it comes to TH12, players must be prepared for Inferno Towers as well. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain the Grand Warden's ability and enough Freeze Spells to deal with the Inferno Towers.
Army composition:
- 11 Dragons
- 10 Balloons
- 1 Baby Dragon
- 6 Lightning Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- 3 Freeze Spell
- Balloons, Freeze Spells and Stone Slammer (Clan castle)
3) BoWiBa
Another common TH12 ground attack strategy that uses Bat Spells to combat single Inferno Towers. In BoWiBa, Ice Golems act as tanks, while Witches, Wizards, Bowlers, and Bats attack the defenses. As it is a high Dark Elixir attack strategy, players should use it only in clan war attacks or during special events in Clash of Clans.
Army composition:
- 5 Ice Golems
- 9 Witches
- 12 Bowlers
- 6 Wizard
- 1 Archer
- 4 Bat Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- 4 Freeze Spells
- 1 Poison Spell
- Ice Golem, Bat Spells Yeti, and Log Launcher (Clan castle)
2) Electro DragLoon
Pairing Electro Dragons and Balloons makes for one of the best attacking strategies in Clash of Clans. Electro Dragons are skilled with breathing thunderbolt that passes through multiple buildings, provided they are placed closely, causing colossal damage. Balloons are another aerial troop that glides through the sky and drops bombs on its targets.
Although both these troops have slow movement speed, they still make for excellent army composition, requiring you to use Rage Spell to be boosted.
Before deploying your army, try to hit Air Defenses with your Queen's Giant Arrow, following a decent funneling via Heroes. Once done, deploy Electro Dragons and Balloons, and use Freeze Spells on whatever inflicts lethal damage to these units. Moreover, try to keep this procession under your Grand Warden's aura and hit his Life Gem's ability to briefly make them immune to incoming attacks.
Army composition:
- 8 Electro Dragons
- 8 Balloons
- 6 Lightning Spells
- 3 Freeze Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- Stone Slammer
- Clan Castle Troop: Lavaloon, Baby Dragon, and Freezing Spells.
1) Queen Walk Lavaloon
This air attack tactic takes a lot of work to master, but once done, it's good enough to get three stars in multiplayer and clan war attacks. This attack strategy requires a high-level Archer Queen, at least level 45.
Army composition:
- 5 Healers
- 24 Balloons
- 2 Lava Hound
- 20 Minions
- 2 Freeze Spells
- 4 Rage Spells
- 1 Haste Spell
- Balloons, Stone Slammer, and Freeze Spells (Clan castle)
Using the above strategies, players can increase their chances of getting 3-star attacks on almost every raid.
These were the best attacking strategies that players would need to get the maximum number of stars on Town Hall 12 bases.
