Best TH15 Attack Strategies 2026 — Top 5 as Root Rider Becomes the Dominant Attack

TH15 is where Root Riders fully take over as the dominant ground attack. The Monolith on defense deals percentage-of-HP damage — meaning high-HP Root Riders take meaningful damage as they surface near the Monolith. Understanding how to route Root Riders around or through the Monolith determines whether your attack succeeds or stalls at the core.

What Are the Top 5 Attacks at Town Hall 15?

• Root Rider + Super Witch hybrid — Root Riders bypass walls to clear Infernos and Scattershots, Super Witches follow with Skeleton swarms to overwhelm remaining defenses
• Super Witch Blizzard — Super Witches, Bat Spells, and Blizzard Spell; most consistent for bases where Root Riders would surface into Monolith + trap clusters
• Dragon Rider + EDrag — burst air damage combination; effective against bases with weak air coverage or poorly placed Scattershots
• Queen Charge + Root Rider hybrid — Queen Charge with Electro Owl strips one side, Root Riders push through the cleared zone with the main army following
• Controlled Super Witch push — precise Super Witch deployment timed with Bat Spells in waves; requires more skill but handles tight defensive cores

How Do Root Riders Work Against a Base with a Monolith?

The Monolith deals a percentage of a troop's maximum HP when it fires. A Root Rider has very high HP — it takes a significant hit from the Monolith but does not die instantly. The key is to route Root Riders past the Monolith quickly rather than letting them sit in its range. Deploy Root Riders to surface on the side of the Monolith furthest from its targeting direction, and have your main army (Super Witches or Miners) enter immediately behind the Root Riders to overwhelm defenses before the Monolith cycles to the next target.

What Makes Super Witch Blizzard Still Competitive at TH15?

Against bases designed specifically to counter Root Riders — with Giant Bomb clusters on surface paths and Scattershots covering approach corridors — Super Witch Blizzard bypasses the ground-attack counter entirely. The Blizzard Spell summons Skeletons directly inside the base core, and the Skeleton swarm is too numerous for the Monolith's percentage-HP damage to eliminate quickly. The Monolith fires on high-HP troops; Skeletons have very low HP and are not efficiently handled by it.

Which TH15 Attack Should I Prioritize Learning?

Root Rider + Super Witch hybrid — it works against the widest range of TH15 base designs and the skills it requires (wall-bypass deployment, sequential timing of Root Riders then main army) carry directly into TH16, TH17, and TH18 where the same attack remains dominant.
