How To 3-Star in Clan War
Before we now jump into the different attacking strategies, I also want to point you towards some other guides that I wrote to help you out with Clan Wars.
(1) Scouting is the key! In Clan Wars, you will need a lot of time scouting the enemy base to plan your attack right. You have all the time you want and you should take that time.
You can also use the tactics editor from ClashTrack to work that out (or let a clanmate or friend help you plan your attack). Check the ClashTrack Tactics Editor here.
(2) Surgical Attacking! Don’t spam your attacks, use surgical attacking instead. This will help you to use all your troop power to get the best result and with all the time you have for scouting you can plan that out.
I’ve been writing a guide on surgical attacking here:
Now it’s time to take a closer look at the different strategies to use.
PS: If you’re looking for up-to-date and frequently updated Anti 3-Star Base Layouts to use in Clan War, check them out here:
Best Clan War Attacking Strategies 2018
As mentioned in the beginning, I have chosen 5 different strategies to use – of course, there are also different ones but I wanted this guide here to be a great overview for you where you can come back and see what strategy will work best for you.
I also update this guide here with every Clash of Clans Update to keep it up to date 🙂
The strategies I have been selecting are these ones here:
- Dragons (TH7 – TH8)
- GoHo (TH8 – TH9)
- LaLoon (TH9 – TH11)
- Queen Charge Hog Rider (TH9 – TH11)
- GoBoWi (TH10 – TH11)
Again, I’m aware there are so many different versions of these strategies but I have been selecting the most useful & popular ones that are able to 3-Star a base with the same Town Hall level.

Mass Dragons (TH7 – TH8) 3 Star Strategy for Clan War
Some will now roll their eyes as mass Dragons is probably the oldest strategy still used in Clash of Clans and appear to be a little easy, but they will get their job done and that’s all that counts, right?
There are three important things you will need to take care of to get your 3-Star with mass Dragons in Clan War:
Clash Of Clans Attack Strategy Th6
- Dealing with Air Defenses
- Funneling your Dragons correctly
- Clean up!
If you deal with these 3 things right, you can’t mess up the attack in 99% of all cases. If you don’t deal with the Air Defenses right, your Dragons will die early – if you mess up the funneling they might not take the core of the base and not cleaning up, well, will obviously not get you the 3rd Star 🙂
Your troop setup:
- 10 Dragons
- 5 Balloons (in Clan Castle)
- 2 Lightning Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- 1 Earthquake Spell
- 1 Haste Spell (in Clan Castle)
So I will walk you through the attack now, you will find a very more detailed Dragons 3-Star Guide below.
You will use your 2 Lightning Spells & 1 Earthquake Spell to destroy one Air Defense, the one you will reach last.
Then it’s time to get your Dragons and the Balloons from your Clan Castle in and drop your Rage Spell & Haste Spell to support them getting the Air Defenses down as fast as possible.

GoHo (TH8 – TH9) 3 Star Strategy for Clan War
Despite the fact that this strategy is extremely expensive in Dark Elixir, this strategy is working great for 3-Staring bases in Clan War. In fact, there are not really many bases that hold up against this strategy and you do not even need high-level Heroes for using it.
To wrap this strategy, you will use the Golems to tank for defenses, traps (especially Giant Bombs) and defending Heroes while your Hog Riders will destroy the defenses without having to deal with that much defensive power.
Your troop setup:
- 2 Golems (TH8)
- 8-10 Wizards
- 24 Hog Rider
- Clan Castle:
- TH8 Fill with maxed Hog Rider
- TH9 Fill with 1 maxed Golem
- 3 Healing Spells
- 1 Jump Spell (TH9)
- 2 Poison Spell (one in your Clan Castle)
So I will walk you through the attack now, you will find a very more detailed GoHo 3-Star Guide below.
You will send your Golems, your Hero(es) and your Wizards in to clean out the outside structures.
When selecting the position where you start your attack from, you will have to choose a spot where your Golems will walk towards the defending Heroes & Clan Castle and also likely disarm Giant Bomb locations (either where you assume they are or maybe know it from a prior attack against the base).
Once the Clan Castle troops are lured and take agro on your Golems, you can deploy your Hog Rider in the section next to the cleared section and support them with Heal Spells to keep them alive.
If you’re interested in learning more about the GoHo Strategy, you should check out my guide here:
LaLoon (TH9 – TH11) 3 Star Strategy for Clan War
LaLoon is an all-time classic attacking strategy and extremely viable in Clan War to perform 3-Star attacks, as you have the ability to surgically outsmart the defenses.
You will use your Archer Queen along with Healers to perform a Queen Charge to pull the Clan Castle troops and also get one of the Air Defenses down and once one side of the base is cleared, you will deploy your Lava Hounds & Balloons clockwise to take down the defenses fast.
Your troop setup:
- 2 Lava Hounds & 1 Lava Hound in your Clan Castle
- 4 Healers
- 16-18 Balloons
- 2 Baby Dragons
- Fill up with Minions
- 3 Rage Spells
- 5 Haste Spells
- 1 Poison Spell in your Clan Castle
So I will walk you through the attack now, you will find a very more detailed LaLoon 3-Star Guide below.
Performing your Queen Charge is essential at the beginning and don’t be afraid to use 2 Rage Spells to keep your Archer Queen alive. She has to get the Clan Castle troops and one Air Defense down as well as clear the defenses on one side.
Don’t be afraid to let this take up to 2 minutes, when you have 1 minute left that’s the point where you need to deploy your Balloons & Lava Hounds to get all structures down in time.
Once the base looks like in the picture above, you are ready to deploy your Balloons.
Deploy them clockwise in packs of 4-5 Balloons as this will help getting defenses down more quickly along with one Lava Hound per Air Defense.
Use the Haste Spells (and Rage Spells when left after the Queen Charge).
Your Balloons will deal with the defenses fast and the Lava Pups will start cleaning the trash buildings and meet up with your Queen in the last corner 🙂
If you’re interested in learning more about the LaLoon Strategy, you should check out my guide here:
Queen Charge Hog Rider (TH9 – TH11) 3 Star Strategy for Clan War
This is a relatively fresh strategy that came up when the healing block ability of the Inferno Tower got removed and works similar to the LaLoon strategy above to 3 Star in Clan Wars – except the fact that instead of Ballons, you will use Hog Riders.
The basis of this strategy works pretty simple – you send in your Archer Queen with 5 Healer, your Grand Warden (if you’re TH11) and several Wall Breakers and make her clean like one quarter of the base you’re attacking.
When that’s done, you will send in the Hog Rider from the side next to the cleaned area and keep them alive while your cleanup troops will take care of the trash building.
Your troop setup:
- 5 Healer
- 8 Wall Breaker
- 2-3 Wizards (for funneling)
- 2 Baby Dragons
- Fill up with Hog Rider (depending on space it will be around 22-25 of them)
- Bowlers or Hog Rider in your Clan Castle
- 3 Heal Spells
- 2 Rage Spells
- 1 Poison Spell
- 1 Rage Spell in your Clan Castle
So I will walk you through the attack now, you will find a very more detailed Queen Charge Hog Rider 3-Star Guide below.
Get your Healers and Archer Queen (plus at TH11 your Grand Warden) ready and start your Queen Charge. You will probably have to drop the 2 Rage Spells and use the Queens ability and the Grand Wardens’ ability to keep your Queen alive as long as possible.
When you have created that “L” shape with her, it’s about time to get the other troops of your army in. Drop your Clan Castle, your Barbarian King and your Hog Riders and closely watch their pathing to support them with the Healing Spells you got.
If you’re interested in learning more about the LaLoon Strategy, you should check out my guide here:
GoBoWi (TH10 – TH11) 3 Star Strategy for Clan War
This is another popular strategy against maxed bases used to 3-Star in Clan War and you will need well-upgraded Bowlers and Witches to use it, however, you won’t need maxed Heroes for it.
The central point of this strategy is building your funnel on the outside with your Golems and Witches and getting your Bowlers along with your Heroes into the core. If you do that right that, you have a solid 2 Star and, often times, even a 3-Star, even against maxed Town Hall 11 bases.
Your army setup is:
- 1 Golem & 1 Golem in your Clan Castle
- 10 Witches (you’ll deploy 5 on each side)
- 15 Bowlers
- 1 Poison Spell
- 3 Jump Spells (they will help your troops going through the base without hitting walls too long)
- 2 Rage Spells or 1 Rage Spell + 1 Heal Spell
- Clan Castle Spell: Heal Spell or Rage Spell
So I will walk you through the attack now, you will find a very more detailed GoBoWi 3-Star Guide below.
Building your funnel is the most crucial part of the whole attack – if you do this wrong you will see your forces walk around the base and will struggle for the 1 Star.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 won't launch. So i installed today's Star Wars Battlefront 2 update on PC. As soon as it was finished i launched the game from Origin, it minimized Origin and after like 15 seconds just opened Origin again without any notification or explanation. To fix this issue, do one of the following: Delete your documents folder for Battlefront II. Delete the specific line 'GstRender.ShadowQuality' in the. My game won't start up in Origin after the first hours of playing. I open origin manager and see it in there, then closes and opens Origin window. Star wars battlefront 2 wont launch.
When choosing the side you want to attack, you will have to keep the following parameters in mind:
- Don’t attack in a way that your kill squad will go into the corner of the base, always attack from the “flat side”
- Don’t attack into 2 Inferno Towers at the same time
- Try to go for the Eagle Artillery first
Building your funnel itself is not that complicated. You will deploy one of your Golems in the area close to the corners and then get your Witches in as soon as the Golems grabbed the attention of the defenses.
Now it’s time that you deploy your Heroes in the center area of your troops to go for the core.
Now you have all your troops on the battlefield and it’s time to drop your spells!

Clash of Clans Town Hall 7 War Attack Strategy
In Clash of Clans, Clan War battles are a great source of both resources as well as gems (via the achievements – War Hero III is worth 1,000 gems!). At Town Hall 7, players have access to some great unit combinations that can allow them to easily 100% clear any Town Hall 7 player as well as many low to mid-range Town Hall 8 players.
In order for your clan to win (and get the big resource reward) as well as in order to unlock the Clan War achievements, you need to get a 3 star clear on both attacks if possible. As a result, in this guide to CoC Clan War attack strategies, I will be covering the best strategies for players to use at this level range in order to get easy 3 star clears.
The best (and perhaps most overlooked) aspect of Clan Wars is that players can participate in Clan Wars while they have a shield. This is a great way to get additional Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7 without exposing yourself to another attack.
TH7 Clan War Army Composition
The best army composition at Town Hall 7 for War Battles is to use 10 Dragons. If you want to take on mid-range TH8 players, it is useful to have a Dragon in the Clan Castle and to upgrade your Dragons to level 2. Note: Technically a 25+ Hog Rider army will outperform 10 Dragons, but that is an enormous waste of Dark Elixir. It is much easier to get excess Elixir to pump into Dragons as opposed to getting the 900+ DE required to build a 25+ Hog Rider army.
Since Dragons require a level 9 Barracks, it is in your best interest to level up all of your Barracks to level 9 shortly after hitting Town Hall 7. Just upgrade each Barracks one at a time until all are level 9 so that you do not suffer from low production at any point.
The spells and strategies you use depends on whether or not you are attacking a Town Hall 7 player. Town Hall 7 players are much easier to take down with a 10 Dragon army, as players get a third Air Defense upon hitting TH8. Town Hall 8 players can still be 3-star cleared, but not every TH8 player can be cleared. Evaluating bases, good unit placement, upgrading Dragons, and spell choices will determine your ability to 100% clear TH8 players reliably.
Against Town Hall 7 Players
Taking down TH7 players with 10 Dragons is very easy. Players may or may not need spells; you will only need spells if you have level 1 Dragons and the enemy player has maxed out Air Defense towers. If the enemy player has maxed out their Air Defense towers, all you have to do is build 3x LIghtning Spells. Use the three LIghtning Spells on one of the Air Defense towers, destroying it (Lightning Spells do need to be level 3 or higher for this purpose).
Best Coc Attack Strategy
With only one Air Defense left, you can place your 10 Dragons practically anywhere on the map and get an easy 100% clear. Place them in the same area of the map, but spread them out a little bit in order to reduce the effects of splash damage.
Against Town Hall 8 Players
Town Hall 8 players can be cleared with 3 Stars by TH7 players using Dragons, but certain conditions need to be met for this to be reliable. FIrst off, it helps significantly if the TH7 player has level 2 Dragons. A Dragon in the Clan Castle is very useful as well, but not necessary. The preferred combination of spells is two Rage Spells and one Healing Spell.
In addition to leveling up Dragons, it helps significantly if the TH8 player does not have maxed out Air Defense towers or has poorly positioned Air Defense towers. Level-wise, if the average level of Air Defense tower is less than 4 (Air Defense towers turn black at level 4, so level 4+ are easy to spot), that is a good sign. If all 3 towers are level 4 or higher, that is a bad sign.
If the towers are either on the edge of the base or clustered together, level of the enemy tower may be irrelevant. Clustered towers are susceptible to a Rage Spell + Healing Spell combination, where a few Dragons can rip down multiple towers while being healed. The video guide embedded earlier in this article demonstrates this in action on one such base with clustered AIr Defense towers.
Placement of Dragons is very important when attacking TH8 players (as opposed to TH7 where it is practically impossible to mess up). First, choose the side of the base you want to attack. it is best to start your attack within range of the most Air Defense towers or near the highest-level tower. Initially, drop two Dragons, about two structures apart on the perimeter of the base where you want to attack. These Dragons likely will not actually participate in the main attack, and instead will travel along the perimeter of the base, picking off external structures. This is intended, as you do not want the bulk of the Dragons to travel along the outside of the base but instead head towards the center. The Barbarian King can aid in this function as well.
As soon as the two initial Dragons take out a few perimeter buildings, drop your remaining 8 Dragons. They should now head towards the center of the base with all the perimeter structures destroyed. Drop a Rage Spell somewhat deep into the center of the enemy’s base; this will speed up the Dragon’s clearing into the enemy’s base and should result in the destruction of at least one Air Defense tower. As the Dragons core towards the Town Hall or a cluster of high health buildings (storages), drop your second Rage Spell. Drop the Healing Spell as needed on low-health Dragons – this will vary on a battle-by-battle basis. Check the video guide for more details on healing spell placement.
With enough practice, you will find the 10 Dragon army can reliably 100% clear many TH8 bases. Many enemy players neglect leveling up their Air Defense towers while having high level walls and other towers. These bases are great for Dragon-based attacks; you will get a large resource reward and your clan will be happy you cleared a tough opponent with 3 stars.
