If you have reached the peak of Clash of Clans then you will have certainly upgraded to TH16 by now. This is the highest difficulty in CoC and you might struggle with using the right strategies. If that’s the case then I am glad you are reading this article as I will explain in it what are, in my opinion, the best compositions for Town Hall 16.
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 TH16 you will be able to train a maximum number of troops. This gives you a huge flexibility to choose a great Army Composition that suits you best.
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.

The biggest power of this composition is its Queen Charge attack.

The greatest capability of this Army Composition is that you can easily three-star an enemy’s base without much effort. All you have to do is set up the funnel. After you do this, you send all of your troops in and all Heroes, except one which you send later on.
The major thing when using this composition is to remember to set the funnel right for your troops to go inside the base. You have to make sure that the funnel is created properly. Also, be sure to open up the base with the Earthquake Spells.
