Town Hall 12 is certainly a huge difference in terms of strength but also army size. It might take time to get a hang of new attack strategies. That is why this article will tackle the basics of the best Army Compositions at TH12.
So obviously, when upgrading your Town Hall you unlock new buildings, traps, and Heroes and you can upgrade each to a higher and better level. Because of that, the best army compositions may differ at different town hall levels. At TH12 you will be facing a Town Hall defense for the very first time so brace yourself. This means that you have to use the best Army Composition to succeed.
Having a good army composition is vital in Clash of Clans. Depending on your goal, whether it is to earn trophies, or win in your Clan Wars or Clan War League battles, you need to have a good army. With each level, you will have to face stronger enemies, as the loot from weaker opponents will only get smaller. Because of that, you will need a good army composition that will allow you to overcome stronger or similarly powerful opponents.
7. Sneaky Goblins (Farming)
Every single Town Hall has its own Army Composition that will be good for farming. In the case of Town Hall 12, it is a Sneaky Goblins composition. Maybe it is not the strongest tactic, but it sure is one of the more profitable ones.
One of the biggest benefits of this composition is how easy it is to use it. There is no need to learn any huge and complicated mechanics. You simply try to get as many resources as you can and that’s it.
Be sure to never use this tactic to get three stars. This Army Composition is not meant for it. However, if your goal is to get resources, upgrade your buildings quicker and obtain a higher level along the way, then this composition is perfect to use.
How To Use This Composition:
- use your Sneaky Goblins around the base to farm and get all collectors and mines destroyed
- once all the outside is dealt with use Jump Spells around the base
- deploy Haste Spells to make goblins’ attack quicker
- make sure that your Sneaky Goblins get to Storages quickly

That is why this composition is a perfect fit to use when your Town Hall level is 12 and isn’t yet as difficult as it can be at later stages of the game.
The biggest power of this composition is that you can practically destroy a huge portion of the base right from the beginning. If you do this, then the rest of the attack becomes easier. However, you have to make sure that you destroy the enemy’s Town Hall.
As I mentioned before, if you can’t destroy the Town Hall with your Battle Blimp, then this attack won’t work so make sure you use Clone Spells and Rage Spell right. The other thing is to make sure to get rid of the Air Defense and Air Sweeper quickly. Lastly, make sure that your Heroes stay alive as long as possible and do as much damage as they can.

Then, after this is done, you need to make sure that your troops overwhelm the opponent. All that is left to do afterwards is to use Rage Spell at the right time and your three star win is a sure thing.
Remember that the most important thing is to place your Zap attack correctly, so don’t miss it. Also, try to destroy as many buildings next to the Inferno Towers as possible. Lastly, make sure that your troops go into a variety of directions, don’t make them all go one way.

I think that the biggest capability of this composition is that it makes the offensive so deadly that there isn’t much anyone can do to stop it. After a slow start, you get a chance to obliterate your enemy, which is very satisfying. Try it out yourselves.
Make sure that you get the funnel and that you don’t rush it. If you manage to create the funnel and join your Warden forces with your heavy hitters, then the attack will certainly be successful. Combine the attack with the good timing to use your spells and you have a winner.

The biggest advantage of using this Army Composition is that the Queen Charge can take care of a good portion of the base right from the beginning of the battle. If done correctly, this will help you significantly. Later on, you will just have to clear out the rest of the base.
To succeed in using this Army Composition you will have to use the Battle Blimp correctly. Make sure that it goes all the way inside the enemy’s base. Once you have dealt massive damage with the blimp, the rest of your Charge and the whole attack will be much easier.
