Witch — Clash of Clans
Troops
Updated: 18 September 2026 · By the Goblins Farm team
The Witch's own attack is unremarkable. What matters is that she continuously summons skeletons, which act as free, endlessly renewing distractions. A protected Witch generates a small army by herself.
What it does
Witches summon skeletons on a timer, and those skeletons attack independently and absorb defensive fire. The longer a Witch survives, the more of them exist, so her value compounds with her survival time in a way most troops' does not.
The skeletons are extremely fragile, so the entire package is defeated by area damage.
How to use it
Keep her alive and keep her behind something.
- Behind Golems. The standard pairing: the Golem takes the fire, the Witch keeps generating skeletons that swarm defences.
- Spread them out. Witches clumped together die to one splash shell, and losing two Witches at once removes most of the army's sustained output.
- Protect from splash first. If the base has heavy central splash coverage, plan to remove or freeze it before the Witches arrive.
How to beat it
Splash damage, centrally placed, which clears skeletons as fast as they are summoned and kills the fragile Witches behind them. A base with strong central area damage neutralises Witch-based armies almost completely, which is why they are so sensitive to layout.

Frequently asked
What makes the Witch strong?
Not her own attack, but the continuous stream of skeletons she summons. They absorb defensive fire for free and their number grows the longer she survives, so protecting a Witch is worth far more than adding another one.
What counters Witches?
Splash damage placed centrally. It clears the summoned skeletons as fast as they appear and kills the Witches themselves, which are fragile. Witch armies are unusually sensitive to how much area damage a base has in the core.
