Best TH10 Attack Strategies 2026 — Top 5 Armies Including LaLoon and Queen Walk
The five strongest TH10 attacks in 2026: Queen Walk LaLoon, GoHo, ZapLaLoon, Witch Slap, and Dragon Rider. Army compositions, spell loads, and when each one is the right call.
TH10 is the first level where LaLoon (Lava Hound + Balloons) becomes the dominant war attack. Inferno Towers on defense mean ground armies face serious sustained damage — air attacks that move quickly and do not sit in front of single-mode Infernos become more efficient. The five attacks below reflect this shift.
What Are the Top 5 Attacks at Town Hall 10?
- Queen Walk + LaLoon — Queen and Healers strip Air Defenses on one side, then Lava Hound and Balloons clear the rest; the most efficient TH10 war attack
- GoHo — still strong at TH10 with higher-level Hog Riders; requires precise Giant Bomb scouting
- ZapLaLoon — Lightning Spells destroy 2 Air Defenses before the Lava Hound and Balloons deploy; faster than Queen Walk but requires higher-level Lightning Spells
- Witch Slap (GoWitch) — Golems + Witches + Heroes push the core; reliable against bases without aggressive trap stacking
- LaLoon — Lava Hound tanks while Balloons clear defenses; simpler than Queen Walk + LaLoon but less consistent without the AD stripping
How Does Queen Walk LaLoon Work at TH10?
Deploy the Archer Queen with 4 Healers on the side of the base with the most Air Defenses. The Queen walks through outer defenses while her Healers keep her alive. Once she has destroyed 1–2 Air Defenses, deploy a Lava Hound at the remaining Air Defense and release Balloons behind it in a spread. The Balloons target defenses one at a time while the Lava Hound tanks.
The critical skill is reading the Queen Walk — deploy the Lava Hound and Balloons while the Queen is still alive and distracting defenses, not after she has died.
When Should I Use ZapLaLoon Instead of Queen Walk LaLoon?
ZapLaLoon is faster to execute and does not require a high-level Archer Queen. Use it when your Queen is upgrading, when the base has Air Defenses close enough that two Lightning Spells can destroy two of them, or when you want a simpler attack with a predictable outcome. Queen Walk LaLoon has a higher ceiling — 3-starring bases that ZapLaLoon cannot crack — but requires more skill and a leveled Queen.
What Makes GoHo Harder at TH10 Than TH9?
Inferno Towers on single mode absolutely shred Hog Riders. If your Hogs walk into an active single-mode Inferno without a Healing Spell landing immediately, you lose a significant portion of your Hog army in seconds. Bring at least 3 Healing Spells and scout the Inferno positions before attacking. Bases with both Infernos in the core make GoHo very risky.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest TH10 attack to learn?
ZapLaLoon is the most straightforward — use Lightning Spells to destroy two Air Defenses, deploy a Lava Hound at the third, then spread Balloons behind it. It does not require a high-level Queen and the execution is predictable. Queen Walk LaLoon is more powerful but has a higher learning curve.
How many Lightning Spells do I need to destroy an Air Defense at TH10?
Three level 7 Lightning Spells destroy a TH10 Air Defense (which has 1,900 HP at max). Two Earthquakes plus two Lightning Spells also works. ZapLaLoon typically uses 2 Lightning Spells per Air Defense at high spell levels, or includes one Earthquake to reduce the HP threshold.
Can GoHo 3-star TH10 war bases?
Yes, but it is significantly harder than at TH9 because of Inferno Towers. A GoHo with 3 Healing Spells, precise deployment timing, and correct Giant Bomb scouting can 3-star most TH10 war bases. Without those elements, it commonly ends at 2 stars.
What army composition should I use for Queen Walk LaLoon at TH10?
Queen, 4 Healers, 1 Lava Hound, as many Balloons as possible (usually 18–20), and 1–2 Minions to clean up after the Balloons clear defenses. Spells: 2 Rage, 2 Haste, and 1 Freeze for the Clan Castle. The Rage goes on the Balloons as they clear the core.
Is Witch Slap still viable at TH10 for war?
Witch Slap (Golems + Witches + Heroes) is reliable for 2-starring most TH10 war bases and 3-starring bases without tight compartments. Inferno Towers on multi mode spread their damage across Skeletons and reduce their effectiveness. Single-mode Infernos that lock onto your Golems are the bigger threat — bring a Freeze Spell for them.
