Fireball Ruin Witch

#2 at TH16 · War / 3-star

Medium

The new post-Anime-Fury archetype: Ruin Witches convert destruction into fresh bodies, so a Fireball opening literally powers the army. The more the attack destroys, the harder it snowballs — a genuinely new smash rhythm at TH16.

Heroes & equipment

Grand Warden — Fireball (the opening demolition)
Archer Queen — Giant Arrow + Healer Puppet
Barbarian King — Giant Gauntlet
Royal Champion — Seeking Shield

How to execute

1Fireball a dense defensive pocket — the rubble it creates is Ruin Knight fuel from second one.
2Earthquake a wall ring along the same axis so destruction keeps chaining.
3Log Launcher + Ice Golems lead; deploy all nine Ruin Witches behind so they vacuum the Fireball rubble immediately.
4Rage the Ruin Knight wave in the core; Invisibility chains keep the Witches alive under Giga/TH fire.
5Headhunters take the heroes; Freeze the scattershot as the Knights swarm it.

Jetpack Dragon Riders (Duke Charge)

#3 at TH16 · War / 3-star

Medium

The Rocket Backpack turns the Duke into a base-length opening move, doing a Queen Charge's job in five seconds. Dragon Riders' defense-first pathing then keeps the whole army on target.

Royal Champion — Electro Boots (cleanup)

How to execute

1Open with the Duke: fire the Rocket Backpack through the base's long axis — his flame trail strips the lane the Riders will fly.
2Giant Arrow crosses the same lane to finish the sweepers.
3Deploy Dragon Riders in a line into the stripped lane, Inferno Dragons on the tanky flanks (they melt the merged Infernos).
4Sky Wagon drifts behind, lobbing reinforcement barrels into the push.
5Rage mid-base, Freeze scattershots, Skeletons on the far-corner Monolith.

Root Rider Spam

#4 at TH16 · War / 3-star

Easy

Root Riders walk through TH16's walls while Overgrowth switches off the defenses that punish spam. The lowest-skill legitimate three-star army at this hall — deploy wide, rage, watch.
