Reaching the higher Town Hall levels in Clash of Clans is not easy. The game becomes more competitive, and enemy bases get stronger with every upgrade. At Town Hall 12, players must focus on better attack planning, smart troop use, and strong spell timing.
If you want to climb the leagues and win more wars, you need attack strategies that work against many base types. Below are five strong and simple attack styles that can help you get more stars and enjoy better raid results.
Top 5 Attack Strategies for Town Hall 12
Hybrid Push (Hogs and Miners with Queen Support)
This strategy is very popular because it works in both wars and normal raids. It starts with your Archer Queen creating a path into the base. This helps remove key defenses and shape the attack.
After that, you send in Hog Riders and Miners together. These troops move fast and clear defenses from the ground. Healers keep your Queen and main troops alive, while spells help them survive heavy damage.
This strategy is flexible and works well on many base designs.
Suggested Army Setup
- 5 Healers
- 15 Miners
- 15 Hog Riders
- 5 Wizards
- 4 Wall Breakers
- 5 Balloons
- 3 Rage Spells
- 3 Heal Spells
- 2 Freeze Spells
- Siege Machine: Siege Barracks or Log Launcher
- Clan Castle: Any troop you prefer
Yeti Power Attack
This is a strong ground-based strategy. Yetis are tough and can absorb a lot of damage. They also release small helpers that clear buildings around them.
When combined with Bowlers, this attack becomes very powerful in the center of the base. The Log Launcher helps open walls and create a clear path.
This plan works best in war attacks where bases are well built.
Suggested Army Setup
- 6 Yetis
- 10 Bowlers
- 5 Healers
- 5 Wizards
- 3 Rage Spells
- 2 Jump Spells
- 2 Freeze Spells
- 1 Poison Spell
- Siege Machine: Log Launcher
Super Bowler Smash
This is a high-damage attack that focuses on breaking through the heart of the base. Super Bowlers deal strong line damage, making them perfect for tight and compact layouts.
Yetis and Healers support the push, while heroes help take damage and clear key areas. Timing your spells correctly is very important for success.
Suggested Army Setup
- 4 Super Bowlers
- 4 Healers
- 4 Yetis
- 5 Wizards
- 3 Rage Spells
- 2 Jump Spells
- 2 Freeze Spells
- 1 Poison Spell
- Siege Machine: Log Launcher
- Clan Castle: Any troop you like
Electro Dragon and Balloon Air Attack
This is one of the easiest and most powerful air attacks. Electro Dragons can hit multiple buildings with one strike if they are placed close together. Balloons follow behind and drop bombs on defenses.
Start by using heroes to clear the sides of the base. Then send in your dragons and balloons in a straight line. Keep them inside the Grand Warden’s ability and use Freeze and Rage spells to protect them from air defenses.
This strategy is slow but very strong.
Suggested Army Setup
- 8 Electro Dragons
- 8 Balloons
- 6 Lightning Spells
- 3 Freeze Spells
- 1 Rage Spell
- Siege Machine: Stone Slammer
- Clan Castle: Lava Hound, Baby Dragon, and Freeze Spells
Queen Walk Lavaloon
This is one of the most rewarding strategies for skilled players. It starts with your Archer Queen and Healers slowly clearing one side of the base.
Once the path is ready, Lava Hounds and Balloons are sent in to destroy the rest of the base from the air. Spells help protect your troops from traps and strong defenses.
This attack needs good timing and practice, but it can earn three stars very often.
Suggested Army Setup
- 5 Healers
- 24 Balloons
- 2 Lava Hounds
- 20 Minions
- 2 Freeze Spells
- 4 Rage Spells
- 1 Haste Spell
- Clan Castle: Balloons, Stone Slammer, and Freeze Spells
Extra Tips for Better Results
- Always check trap locations before sending your main troops.
- Use your heroes to clear key defenses early.
- Save Freeze spells for Inferno Towers and Air Defenses.
- Practice in friendly challenges before using these strategies in wars.
