High Level Dragon Attack Strategies - TH10

I have a champion level account (max trophy count was 3523). I have searched for dragon attack strategies on TH10s, but can't find any so I am starting a new thread. I have two basic strategies that I will share in the hopes others will share their strategies for attacking high level TH10's (obviously these will work on all levels below).

Strategy #1 - All LVL4 Dragons (12) / 2 Max Heal Spells / 3 Max Rage Spells / Heroes
Type of base to attack: I look for bases where the air defense is: 1) not maxed; 2) under construction; 3) near outside of base; or 4) roughly 40-50% of the base is covered by only one air defense. If you can find any of those in a base it is good to attack. More than one of those - and you'll have an easy win. I just want some advantage when attacking.

Method: I pick the area of the base from which 50% or more is likely to be destroyed by dragons while encountering the least air defense. Dragon drop formation depends upon base design. But generally I want the dragons to move together and fly towards each other or with each other - NOT away from each other.

Spell Placement: Heal Spells are dropped only AFTER air defense begins to target dragons...all other defenses I ignore UNTIL inferno towers target dragon - THEN I drop rage spells to get dragons to center. Spell timing is key.

Clan Castles with this dragon attack can be ignored...Dragons will destroy anything coming out of clan castle - in fact the more centered a clan castle the dragons will be pulled into the center to destroy the TH.

Heroes: I think of the dragons as clearing a path for the Heroes to proceed to the TH. Heroes are dropped after Dragons have cleared many of the ground defenses on the way to the center.

I will share my GOLEM / DRAGON combo if people are interested (it is actually more effective than the one I just described). But I want to hear from you. How do you attack high level TH10's with Dragons??

Thanks for sharing your strategy Funder. Can you three star with your attack strategy?

So obviously being able to 3 star a base depends upon the base. For maxed TH10s (maxed air defense / maxed archer towers / maxed x bows / maxed inferno towers) you really can't 3 star, but you can usually 2 star.

Another question is that I have seen a lot of people recommending using heroes to clear ground stuff FOR the dragons, not using dragons to clear stuff for heroes - why do you suggest heroes go in AFTER the dragons?

Great question! I actually used to drop heroes first thinking they could clear some air defense or buildings to give dragons a quicker route. HOWEVER, I found through a lot of trial and error that using dragons first to clear ground defenses was waaaay more effective at getting to the TH with the heroes. I think my battle success rate may have doubled by using the heroes as the primary attackers on the TH AFTER dragons have cleared a path. Also, high level heroes become critical when facing maxed TH10s.

So what level hero do you consider "high level?"

Well...I think higher is better, but lvl20 or lvl25 I would consider high level for heroes.

What is the golem/drag combo you use? I've always wanted to learn godrag but have never tried it.

Basically works like this: Same as all drag strategy accept I replace 3 dragons with two golems.

Purpose of golems is to act as shields for heroes.

Drags dropped first to clear ground defense and buildings to get as much of a path to TH as possible. Golems dropped with Heroes to get to town hall.

Sometimes when drags do job right I will drop Barb king first to clear first wall (usually he has lots of time cause first line of defense gone from drags) and then drop golems and queen so then no one wanders off alone.

I can two star max TH10s with this method.

I've seen Golem used that way with drags, as well as balloonion, but usually with high lvl heroes ... anyone tried it with low lvl heroes yet? (mine are 7BK 6Q)..

Tried it a couple of times - think the extra loons or dragons are better - but I'm only TH9 anyway --- should I try it again, or this just for those with lvl 40 heroes?


I know it's a TH10 thread, but always looking to improve/get an edge .... :cool:

So my heroes are AQ40 and BK36. So you pose a good question about lower level heroes and fewer troop count available. I will say this - I used all drag attacks all through master 2 w/o having problems. I really never tried golems until my drags got stuck on all the inferno towers of th10s. And I realized I needed some help for my heroes w/TH10s.
