TOP 3 TH16 Attack Strategies after ROOT RIDER NERF | EASIEST Town Hall 16 ARMY with LINKS CoC

Today Hooked shows his top 3 which includes Mass Dragons, Fireball/Warden Charge with Rocket balloons and Mass Root Rider Double Overgrowth Ground Spam! Here's the breakdown of all those strategies!

1. Mass Dragons

Mass Dragons are an under-utilized yet powerful attack strategy at Town Hall 16. The key to success with this strategy is using the Flame Flinger to clear out a corner of the base. Start by deploying a Giant and a few Barbarians and Archers to support the Flame Flinger. Your primary focus should be on destroying the Wizard Tower, Archer Tower, and multi-target Inferno Tower. After setting up the funnel with the King and Queen on the opposite side, direct your Dragons straight into the Town Hall.

  • Army Composition: Include Dragons and Balloons, and use Freeze and Rage spells effectively.

  • Execution Tips: Use the Warden’s ability early to protect your Balloons and Dragons from the Town Hall’s blast. Keep your Royal Champion in reserve to clear out backend defenses, especially the Air Defenses.

2. Fireball Warden Charge into Mass Rocket Balloon

The Fireball Warden Charge into Mass Rocket Balloon strategy is another highly effective method. Start with a Warden charge, supported by a Flame Flinger. Use Rocket Balloons to take down critical defenses like the X-bows, Mortars and ensure your Flame Flinger gets value.

  • Army Composition: Warden, Healers, Rocket Balloons, King, and Queen, supported by spells like Rage, Freeze, and Invisibility.

  • Execution Tips: Keep the King and Queen away from the Warden to prevent them from pulling him off his path. Deploy the King to target the Town Hall, while the Queen supports clearing other structures.

3. Root Rider Overgrowth Spam

Despite the nerf, the Root Rider Overgrowth Spam remains the top strategy, especially effective on ring bases with Rage or Poison Towers. Begin by targeting high-damage areas and use the Warden’s ability early to keep troops alive.

  • Army Composition: Root Riders, Valkyries, supported by Overgrowth and Rage spells.

  • Execution Tips: Deploy Overgrowth spells to prolong troop survival, and use the Royal Champion to support weaker pushes. The strategy works well by combining the Root Rider’s strength with the Valkyries’ damage output.
