Hydra Dragon Smash — TH18
TH18advanced
Dragons and Dragon Riders behind twin Lava Hound tanks — the low-skill-floor TH18 air triple. Cleanup-heavy and forgiving on funnel placement, which is why it ranks among the most-picked TH18 attacks in CWL.

— Execution —
- 01.Drop the two Lava Hounds first on the strong side to soak the leading Air Defenses and split aggro between compartments.
- 02.Wizards on both corners to clear collectors and shape the funnel; one Headhunter pair per side if heroes are exposed.
- 03.Send the Dragon line behind the Hounds in a tight 1-2-1 formation so they enter the core together rather than peeling apart.
- 04.Battle Blimp drops Headhunters on the enemy Archer Queen and Grand Warden — the Hydra cannot afford a live hero deleting Riders.
- 05.Send Dragon Riders on the opposite side in a fan once the Hounds are locked, then Rage as the two wings converge on the centroid.
- 06.Freeze the Inferno triangle as Riders enter the core; Haste the back end to push the wave through the last compartment.
- 07.Poison incoming defensive CC and Minion King's spawn; let Minions clean the trailing perimeter.
