Best Attack Strategies with Golem in Clash of Clans
1) GoWiPe

The GoWiPe strategy is a sure go for people in TH8 and above when seeking three-star victories. It involves a ground attack that includes mixes of Golems, Wizards, and Pekkas. Golems act as tanks that absorb enemy defenses as the Wizards and Pekkas deal the damage. Wall Breakers open the way, while Archers back them up. Spell options may include one Rage to increase troop damage, two Healing spells to keep the Wizards safe, and one Poison spell to dissolve enemy defenses.

Bringing a Pekka from your Clan Castle really ratchets up the firepower. If you wanted to actually power up this assault, you might make a funnel with Golems, Wizards, and the Poison spell to channel the Pekkas in towards the core. If you are a more advanced Town Hall player, you can further develop your GoWiPe attacks with a Queen Walk, where the Archer Queen and Healers are used to create that first opening and hit all kinds of important defenses like Inferno Towers and Eagle Artillery.

2) GoHo

GoHo is one of the most powerful attack strategies ever to exist in Clash of Clans. It supports the Town Hall 8 and above players very well in both multiplayer battles and wars. It is a two-pronged attack plan with Golems and Wizards pitted against critical defense structures.

For a GoHo attack at Town Hall 8, the general composition of the army would be:

• 1 Golem

• 13 Wizards

• 6 Wall Breakers

• 6 Archers

• 20 Hog Riders

• 3 Healing Spells

• 1 Poison spell

• Clan Castle Hog Riders

After penetrating the defenses with Golems and Wizards, Hog Riders are sent in to get remaining buildings. Healing spells go hand in hand with Hog Riders in case they stay a little longer against area damage. Barbarian King and Archer Queen are very much viable to be used in conjunction with the Golem in trying to get to the heart of the base. Well-placed Poison could disable enemy clan castle troops, allowing easy access to remaining buildings by Hog Riders.

3) GoWiBo

The GoWiBo strategy has been really strong on the ground at TH10 and above, working well for both open and ring bases. At the core of this army composition would be 3 Golems, 10 Witches, and 5 Bowlers. This would then be backed up with 2 Rage spells, 2 Healing spells, a Jump spell, and Clan Castle troops in Bowlers. A Freeze spell could also be added to create more control.

Golems act as the tanks, keeping the Witches and Bowlers safe behind them. The Archer Queen and Barbarian King just add to that force in pushing to the core of the base. A Jump spell, if well-timed, can create crucial openings in the base. Also, strategic Rage and Healing spells on Witches and Bowlers, while a Freeze can shut down the Inferno Towers for a little while.

This concludes our really in-depth guide about the best Golem attack strategies in Clash of Clans, hoping to help as much as possible in improving your gameplay.
