“Summons Bats to do her bidding! If you get too close, she's not afraid of pitching in with her mean-looking battle staff.”

The Night Witch is a Legendary card that is unlocked from the Serenity Peak (Arena 14). It spawns a single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troop with moderate hitpoints and high damage. Every 5 seconds, the Night Witch will passively summon a group of 2 Bats surrounding her. However, her first wave of Bats will spawn 1 second after she is deployed. When defeated, she will also spawn 1 Bat. A Night Witch card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.

  • She cannot perfectly counter some troops that the Witch can, as the Night Witch cannot distract ground-targeting troops with her Bats. However, the Night Witch can defeat nearly all cards that cost 6 Elixir or below, like Sparky, Lumberjack, Wizard, etc.
  • The Night Witch's high damage per attack in addition to her continuous spawns make her potent at defeating high-health units, whether it be on offense or defense.
  • The Night Witch cannot attack air troops, so Minions or the Baby Dragon will be effective at taking her out since they can also easily take out her summoned Bats. However, if these units are distracted with something else, the Bats may heavily damage or even defeat them.
  • The Golem is great when used with the Night Witch because it can tank for the Bats spawned by her and deal massive damage to Towers.
  • Ranged splash damage troops like the Executioner, Wizard, or Witch are very effective against the Night Witch since they can defeat her and her spawned Bats quickly without receiving much damage.
  • Poison is the most effective spell against the Night Witch. If timed correctly, not only will the Poison cripple the Night Witch, it will also eliminate all the spawned Bats.
  • Just like the regular Witch, if the Night Witch summons Bats while under Rage, her Bats are also affected. Not only that, but Rage will also allow the Night Witch to spawn more Bats faster.
  • Upon deployment, the Night Witch's first wave of Bats spawns more quickly that all subsequent spawns, appearing 1 second after she is deployed. When she is placed directly behind the King's Tower, 1 Bat will fly into the other lane, which can be useful if the player wants to lightly protect the other lane.
  • The Night Witch can be used to effectively counter the Graveyard since her Bats can quickly defeat the Skeletons. Conversely, it is also a great synergy with Graveyard. The Night Witch will tank for the Graveyard, while the Skeletons and Bats deal massive damage while staying relatively spread out.
  • A Night Witch, even with the assistance of a Crown Tower, cannot prevent a Balloon from connecting to the Tower. Her first wave of Bats don't spawn and attack quickly enough to prevent the Balloon's first attack, even when she is placed slightly in advance.
  • The Night Witch's role in a deck is fairly different compared to her counterpart, the Witch. The Night Witch does not do splash damage, only spawns two Bats at a time, is very fragile without the help of a tank (unlike how the Witch could protect herself using her spawned Skeletons), and cannot target air troops. On the other hand, the Night Witch's higher melee damage, increased health and her faster Bats make her more threatening on a counterpush.
  • Troops with a chain attack, such as an Electro Dragon or an Electro Spirit are very effective at defeating the Bats spawned from the Night Witch, weakening her significantly when fighting against other units.
