TH12 Queen Charge LaLoon Guide 2026 -- Interior Entry Air Attack

TH12 Queen Charge LaLoon uses the Archer Queen to enter the base interior and destroy the Scattershots before the main LaLoon wave deploys. Scattershots are LaLoon's primary counter at TH12 -- their splash destroys Balloon clusters rapidly. By removing one or both Scattershots with the Queen Charge before deploying Hounds and Balloons, the LaLoon wave faces dramatically reduced anti-air resistance. The Royal Champion adds a second hero that can also participate in the Scattershot removal phase.

Army Composition and Spells

Standard TH12 QC LaLoon (280 housing): 4 Healers (28), 2 Lava Hounds (60), 24 to 26 Balloons (48 to 52), filler Minions (remaining ~142). Spells: 1 Rage (Queen Charge), 2 Rage (Balloon wave), 2 Freeze (Eagle Artillery / Inferno), 1 Haste (Balloon speed boost). Clan Castle: Balloons. The Queen Charge targets the Scattershot on the strongest base side. Wall Breakers (6 to 8 of them in the filler housing) support the Queen's entry into the base interior past multiple wall layers to reach the Scattershot.

Step-by-Step Execution

Step 1 -- Queen Charge target: Identify which Scattershot is most accessible for Queen entry -- the one closer to the base edge or covered by fewer outer defenses. Step 2 -- Queen Charge launch: Deploy AQ + 4 Healers at the entry point. Use Wall Breakers to break walls 2 to 3 layers ahead of the Queen so she enters the base interior toward the Scattershot. Step 3 -- Rage on Queen: Drop Rage when the Queen engages the Scattershot. At higher AQ levels, the Queen with Rage destroys a Scattershot before needing her ability. Step 4 -- Queen Ability: Activate when Queen HP drops below 40% during the Scattershot fight or after she clears it. Step 5 -- LaLoon deployment: From the Queen Charge entry point (now with one Scattershot removed), deploy 2 Lava Hounds toward the remaining ADs. Step 6 -- Balloon wave: When Hounds engage ADs, deploy all Balloons in a wide line. Remaining Scattershot fires on the wave -- Freeze it if it threatens the Balloon cluster center. Step 7 -- Warden air mode: Activate Warden ability on Eagle Artillery or the remaining Scattershot burst.

Royal Champion Synergy

The Royal Champion targets walls and defenses and can also participate in Scattershot removal. Deploy RC from the same side as the Queen Charge -- she follows walls toward the Scattershot and can clear the second Scattershot while the Queen focuses on the first.
