Easy TH17 armies — no Clan Castle needed

Simple plans that work with just your own army. Good for farming, Legend League and wars when nobody donates.

  1. 01

    Hydra Spam

    air · easy · no CC

    Line up the Queen's Giant Arrow and the Dragon Duke's Rocket Backpack dash on the Air Defenses to open the base, then send the Ice Hound, Dragons and Dragon Riders in one big line with the Minion Prince and Warden. Totems go on the hardest-hitting defenses and Revive only after a hero falls; against a strong TH17 or TH18 base expect 2 stars, with 3 when the Air Defenses go down early.

    Mass Throwers

    ground · easy · no CC

    King and Queen funnel the edges, then spam all the Throwers in one line on a single side with the Healers behind and the three Log Launchers rolling toward the Town Hall. Cast Totems on whatever is hitting hardest; with no Clan Castle this is realistically 2 stars on a strong base.

    Clone Mass Dragons

    air · easy · no CC

    Funnel with the King, the Queen (Giant Arrow on a sweeper or Air Defense) and the Siege Barracks, then drop all 15 Dragons and the Balloons in one line with the Warden and Minion Prince and cast Rage as they enter. Clone them once they are inside the core and use Overgrowth on a heavy defense; plan on 2 stars against a strong base.

No, but the creators who use them have near-max heroes and equipment. If you're missing a piece of equipment, swap it for the closest one you have. Some Clan Castle requests need a clanmate with a higher Town Hall.
