The five strongest TH14 attacks in 2026: Pet-boosted Queen Charge into Super Witch, Root Rider hybrid, Super Witch Blizzard, Dragon Rider + EDrag, and Super Dragon spam. How Hero Pets change attack strategy at TH14.
Hero Pets at TH14 fundamentally change how hero-based attacks work. The Electro Owl paired with the Archer Queen turns a standard Queen Walk into a Queen Walk that also destroys Air Defenses ahead of her path. The LASSI lets the Barbarian King jump walls. The Unicorn heals heroes on walk. Every attack strategy at TH14 is stronger with the right pet assignment, and learning which pet pairs with which attack is as important as learning the attack itself.
The Electro Owl flies independently alongside the Queen and attacks Air Defenses at range. In a standard Queen Walk, you rely on the Queen and Healers to walk close enough to destroy ADs. With the Electro Owl, the Owl destroys ADs 6–8 tiles before the Queen reaches them. The Queen Walk can now strip Air Defense coverage from a much larger portion of the base than at TH13.
The result: after a pet-boosted Queen Charge, your LaLoon or Super Witch main army faces far fewer Air Defenses than at TH13 with the same Queen level. The Owl effectively adds 10–15 Queen levels worth of AD-clearing capability.
The standard competitive pet assignment at TH14: Archer Queen gets the Electro Owl (AD destruction range), Barbarian King gets the LASSI (wall jumping), Grand Warden gets the Unicorn (healing for sustained attacks), Royal Champion gets the Mighty Yak (wall bashing to reach her target). Adjust based on your attack strategy — if you are not doing a Queen Walk, the Owl may be more useful on a different hero.
Yes, for most base types. The combination of wall-bypassing Root Riders and cycling Miners or Hogs handles virtually every base design. The LASSI on the Barbarian King adds another wall-jump dimension. Against bases with deep Scattershots specifically placed on Root Rider surface paths, Super Witch Blizzard or air attacks perform better.

What is the best pet assignment for Queen Charge attacks at TH14?
Electro Owl on the Archer Queen is the standard — it destroys Air Defenses ahead of her walk path, dramatically extending her reach. Unicorn on the Warden provides healing for the main army. LASSI on the King enables wall jumps for the King walk. Mighty Yak on the Champion helps her break through walls to her target.
How is Root Rider hybrid different from regular Hybrid (Hogs + Miners) at TH14?
Root Riders tunnel underground and bypass walls entirely, surfacing next to defenses. Regular Hog Riders jump walls but still need a clear path. Root Riders reach Infernos and Scattershots that Hogs cannot access without multiple wall breaches. Root Rider hybrid is stronger against heavily compartmentalized bases; regular Hybrid is simpler to execute on open layouts.
Can Super Dragon attacks work at TH14?
Yes. Super Dragons have high HP and deal consistent air damage. Use 5–7 Super Dragons with 3 Rage Spells and 1–2 Freeze Spells. Deploy them in a line across the widest edge and Rage when they enter the Inferno range. The Freeze goes on whichever Inferno locks onto a Super Dragon first. Less skill-intensive than Queen Charge but lower ceiling against well-designed bases.
What level do Hero Pets need to be to use effectively?
Level 1 pets provide their full ability — the Electro Owl fires on Air Defenses, the LASSI jumps walls, the Unicorn heals. Higher levels increase damage, HP, and effect potency but the core mechanic works at level 1. Prioritize the Electro Owl first if you use Queen Charge attacks — it has the highest impact at lower levels.
Is Super Witch Blizzard still worth using at TH14 given how strong Root Rider hybrid is?
Yes — Super Witch Blizzard is more consistent against bases that are specifically anti-ground designed with Scattershots covering Root Rider surface paths and deep Giant Bomb clusters. Having both attacks in your repertoire lets you choose the right one for each specific base rather than forcing one strategy against every layout.
