Best TH13 Attack Strategies 2026 — Top 5 Including Super Witch and Root Rider

TH13 introduces the Royal Champion — the fourth hero — and with four heroes available on offense, attack strategies gain a new dimension. The Royal Champion ability targets the highest-HP building in range, making her ideal for stripping key defenses in the early phase of an attack. Root Riders become genuinely dominant at TH13, and Super Witch Blizzard continues to be the most reliable high-percentage attack.

What Are the Top 5 Attacks at Town Hall 13?

• Super Witch Blizzard — Super Witches, Bat Spells, and the Blizzard Spell generating Skeleton swarms; the highest-consistency 3-star attack at TH13
• Root Rider + Hybrid — Root Riders bypass walls to reach defenses while Miners or Hogs cycle remaining buildings
• Queen Charge + Super Witch — Queen Charge clears one side of the base (including key Air Defenses or Infernos), then Super Witches push the cleared corridor
• Dragon Rider + EDrag — Dragon Riders and Electro Dragons combined for burst air damage; effective against bases without strong Scattershot coverage
• Yeti Smash — Yetis tank with spawned Yetlings while Bowlers and heroes push the core; a ground smash strategy for bases with weak compartments

How Does the Royal Champion Change TH13 Attacking?

The Royal Champion is most valuable as a support hero that activates her ability near key defenses. Her ability targets the highest-HP building in range — position her near an Inferno Tower or Scattershot that your main army needs removed. She also functions as a solo cleanup hero: send her into the base after your main army has cleared defenses, and she activates her ability on whatever high-HP building remains.

In Queen Charge strategies, the Champion can run independently on the opposite side of the base from the Queen, stripping defenses from two directions simultaneously.

What Makes Root Rider Hybrid So Strong at TH13?

Root Riders surface directly beside defenses after tunneling under walls. This means compartment walls — which stop virtually every other ground troop — do not stop Root Riders. A well-deployed Root Rider group reaches Inferno Towers and Scattershots that Hogs and Miners would need multiple wall breaches to access. Combined with Miners cycling remaining defenses after Root Riders clear the key buildings, the attack is highly consistent.

Which TH13 Attack Is Best for Learning?

Super Witch Blizzard is the best starting point — the Bat Spell and Blizzard Spell do most of the work once your Super Witches are deployed, and the timing is forgiving compared to Queen Charge strategies. Once you have that down, Root Rider hybrid teaches wall-bypass attack logic that scales all the way through TH18. Browse TH13 bases to study current war defense layouts before planning your attacks.
