Clash of Clans- Super Queen

Clash of Clans super queen is a popular strategy now a days. Over the last couple of weeks I have been noticing a hefty amount of people in my clan, and also even on YouTube, that have discovered a new way to get lots of Dark Elixir in just one sitting on Clash of Clans. I have absolutely no idea where this strategy came about or who first discovered it, but I have to say that it works fantastically if done correctly.


This new strategy to farm Dark Elixir uses your Archer Queen and a bunch of Healers. I’ve noticed people using between 8-10 Healers at a single time on just your Archer Queen, I personally think that 8 is plenty. Minions are also used to clean up some of the trash builds along the outside of the base to help from distracting the Queen, but I’ll get into the complete army composition in a little.

The bases we should attack with Super Queen

Typically when using this attack you are supposed to search for a base that has about 2,500 Dark Elixir available for the taking. More specifically from the Dark Elixir Storage because the Drills are usually scattered around the base. Also you want to make sure that the Dark Elixir Storage will be accessible to attack. If it is completely hidden in the base and you think your Queen wont be able to reach it just search for a new one.

The Significance of the Healers

The Healers and the Queen work absolutely perfect together. It is best to place your Queen down by one of the air defenses so she targets it first. THE Healers WILL NEVER BE IN RANGE OF THE AIR DEFENSE WHEN THE Queen IS TARGETING IT. The Healers are just out of range of the air defense, which makes this attack strategy supper effective. It is not meant to destroy the entire base, there simply isn’t enough time, but it is perfect for specifically targeting loot. Another thing that I have noticed is that this strategy pretty much works for any level Archer Queen. I have seen a replay of a kid in my clan using this strategy with a level 8 Archer Queen and consistently steal 2,000+ Dark Elixir from his opponents. That is how powerful this attack can be.

Super Queen Army Composition

Like I mentioned earlier this competitions main focus is the Archer Queen with the majority of your army camp being filled up with Healers. Below I will give an exact rundown of the troops, but for now I’m going to give each troops contribution to the attack strategy. I would not recommend using any less than 8 Healers at a time. With that said you also don’t need to exceed 10, it mainly depends on the level of your Queen and the level of the defenses on the village you plan to attack. Just use your best judgment with exactly how Healers to use at one. In my army camp I might bring 10 with me (from 2 in each army camp) but I would only deploy 8 of them leaving me a couple for my next attack. I would also highly recommend bringing maybe 8 Wall Breakers with you (2 in each camp) or maybe 5-6 instead. With the new arch Queen AI she rarely chooses to target a wall to enter the center of the base. The use of the Wall Breakers will allow her to target buildings in the center of the base and not run around the entire perimeter. Lastly the Minions, simply just fill the remaining places in your barracks with Minions. I suppose you can replace the Minions with archer or barbs or whatever else you choose, but Minions are cheap and deal a lot of damage.

Queen 8x Wall Breaker 10x Healer 42x minion

2 xrage spell 2x freeze spell 1x jump spell 1x poison spell

This is my exact troop composition. I am a Town Hall 10 and I have maxed army camps so I am able to have 240 troops with me. Because of this I found 10 archers, 8 wallbreakers and 42 Minions a good combination. As you can see I also have some rage spells and a jump spell with me. These are actually the spells I am bringing to war with me, but as long as there’s a jump spell and a rage spell everything should go smoothly.

If you are a Town Hall 9 and can only bring 220 troops I would suggest 10 Healers 8 Wall Breakers and 32 Minions. You could also take 2 less wallbreakers and substitute them for Minions, but the 2 extra Minions won’t make a significant difference.

It is best to mix and match your troops compositions to see which one you care more comfortable using. You may realize that you need more wallbreakers than you though you needed, or maybe you would rather substitute some Minions for another Healer. The choice is yours.

About Spells

I would recommend having at least one Jump Spell handy for each attack. That doesn’t mean that you need to use it each and every single attack, but if the Queen starts to wander in a direction you don’t want her to go the Jump Spell will help redirect her. Also it would be important to have a rage spell just in case. Oddly enough the rage spell should mainly be used on the Healers. Sometimes you will find yourself in a situation where you either lost a few Healers or you have a bunch of defenses targeting the Queen and the Healers just can’t keep up. The Rage Spell increases the amount of health points given to the Queen, filling up her health bar quickly and keeping it there for the duration of the spell.

Super Queen Farming Strategy

Like I mentioned earlier as to what to look for when using this attack, you want to make sure that the base you are attacking has a decent amount of Dark Elixir Dark Elixir for the taking. You also want to make sure it is accessible. I lucked out in my example because the Dark Elixir storage was only behind one set of Walls.
