66 Dragon Push
Counters Rocket Backpack and Giant Arrow bases
This strategy uses the Archer Queen and Siege Barracks / Dragon Duke to clear both sides of the base and create a strong funnel, allowing the Double Dragons, Grand Warden, and Minion Prince to push directly through the center. It is a strong and reliable three-star strategy, especially in the current Legend League meta, where many bases are designed to defend against Rocket Backpack and Giant Arrow attacks. This army can avoid those common anti-meta setups and attack the base from a different angle.
Key Units
Rocket Backpack Arrow
Compact and spread-out bases
This strategy uses Giant Arrow and Rocket Backpack with Earthquake Spells to create strong early value, then follows up with Dragon Riders to clean through the base. For compact bases, the main goal is to maximize the value of Giant Arrow and Rocket Backpack. For spread-out bases, the priority is to plan the path for the main army, using the arrow based on where the Dragon Riders need to go. Make sure both heroes still have follow-up value after using their abilities.
Key Units
Thrower Walk
Ground bases with clear pathing
This is one of the strongest ground strategies in the current meta. Throwers have a long 6-tile attack range, which makes the attack path much easier to plan. The simplest way to use this army is to send all Throwers straight from the front, while using heroes on both sides to clear the buildings. Because of their long range, Throwers can stay near the center and still destroy nearby buildings on both sides. With the Log Launcher, they can easily break into the core and keep dealing damage. Another option is to use the Barbarian King to clear one side, then let the Throwers move around the base and take everything down as they go.
