Strategies fo Witch

Offensive Strategy

Strategically deploy the Witch as a support troop, leveraging her ability to summon Skeletons. To avoid vulnerability to Mortar attacks, refrain from clustering Witches. For optimal results, incorporate Witches into attacks such as Yeti Smash or BoWitch.

Tank Synergy

Pair Witches with Golems, Ice Golems, or Giants to provide a sturdy tank. This ensures the Witch’s survival while the Skeletons wreak havoc on defense buildings.

Spell Tactics

Utilize Lightning Spells to neutralize Wizard Towers and decrease splash damage. Plan attacks carefully, as the Bomb Tower poses a significant threat to the Skeleton swarm.

Defensive Strategy

Defending against Witches requires strategic placement of defensive structures. Giant Bombs and Bomb Towers are effective in countering both Witches and their summoned Skeletons.

Clan Castle Defense

Witches in Clan Castles can overwhelm attackers. Combine Witches with Valkyries or Baby Dragons to cover weaknesses and fend off swarming troops.

Air Defense

Exploit Witches’ vulnerability to air attacks. Dragons or Electro Dragons are potent against defending Witches, as their Skeletons do not target air units.

Upgrade Differences

Witness the visual evolution of the Witch at different levels, from a magenta-dressed sorceress to a powerful figure with a golden headdress, enhanced staff, and captivating attire.
