TH10 Witch Slap Guide 2026 -- Witch and Golem Army Strategy

Witch Slap uses Golems, Witches, and Heroes in a ground push that overwhelms defenses through sheer skeleton swarm numbers. Witches continuously spawn Skeletons that spread across the base and distract defenses while the Golems tank and heroes deal direct damage. At TH10, Witch Slap is a reliable alternative to GoHo when Giant Bomb clusters would destroy a Hog Rider stack -- Skeletons are immune to Giant Bombs because they are individually too weak to trigger them.

Army Composition and Spells

Standard TH10 Witch Slap (240 housing): 2 Golems (60), 8 Witches (64), 2 Bowlers (12 -- if available), 2 P.E.K.K.A.s (30), 4 Wall Breakers (4), filler Archers. Spells: 3 Rage Spells, 2 Heal Spells, 1 Poison (for CC). Clan Castle: Witch + Balloon. The Witch count (8) is the key variable -- more Witches means more simultaneous Skeleton spawns, which means more defenses distracted per second. Bowlers add ricocheting boulder damage to the Golem tank line, significantly improving compartment clearing speed.

Step-by-Step Execution

Step 1 -- Funnel setup: Deploy 2 Golems at the entry point side by side. Add 2 Witches on each side of the Golem line to begin Skeleton spawning in the outer compartments. Step 2 -- Main army deployment: Deploy remaining Witches, P.E.K.K.A.s, and Bowlers behind the Golem tank line in a cluster. The cluster keeps everyone within Rage Spell radius. Step 3 -- Wall Breakers: Drop immediately as Golems approach the first wall. Witches cannot break walls themselves -- Wall Breakers are mandatory. Step 4 -- Hero deployment: Archer Queen on the opposite edge from the main army (to funnel any buildings she alone can clear), King behind the main army. Step 5 -- Rage Spell timing: First Rage when the Golem-Witch cluster engages the first inner ring defense. Second Rage when the cluster approaches the Town Hall ring. Third Rage on any remaining defenses blocking the TH itself. Step 6 -- Heal when Witch or Golem HP drops below 50% in a high-DPS zone (Inferno range).

Single-Mode Inferno Counter

Single-mode Infernos lock onto Golems and ramp to lethal damage. Counter by having P.E.K.K.A.s positioned around the Golem -- the Inferno has to kill the Golem before it can switch targets, but surrounding P.E.K.K.A.s and Witches DPS the Inferno down faster than the ramp deals fatal Golem damage in most cases. A Rage Spell timed on the Inferno engagement dramatically reduces the time to destroy it.
