This review has been updated 3 times since it was first published in March of 2019. Drones are high-tech, sensitive pieces of equipment, designed solely for exploration and furthering scientific inquiry … so, naturally, you’re going to want to make them fight. The models on this list are made for battle. Some have infrared systems that register hits, while others use apps or even physical impacts to prove their dominance. Luckily, most are built to withstand some abuse. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.

10. SkyKing S-55X
Just because the sun has set doesn’t mean you have to abandon your aerial warfare, thanks to the SkyKing S-55X. Each machine has a few colorful navigation lights, so you won’t lose track of them in the dark — unless you get shot down, that is.
- Spin to indicate hits
- A headless mode
- Expensive for what you get

9. Air Wars
Air Wars provides one of the most versatile options on the market, as each unit is equipped with a vast array of weaponry and boasts four attack moves, which keeps things fun and engaging while also encouraging a bit of strategy.
- Includes 8 replacement propellers
- Remotes are interchangeable
- May be difficult for kids to control

8. Propel Tie Fighter
You can take Darth Vader’s ship for a spin with the Propel Tie Fighter. The companion app lets you compete against up to 11 people at the same time, or you can just buzz around in the flight simulator if you’re feeling particularly nonviolent that day.
- Hand painted and numbered
- Propellers can also spin in reverse
- Batteries only last about 5 minutes

7. Lefant Fighting
Designed specifically for little ones, the Lefant Fighting is remarkably straightforward to control. You don’t need to hold the throttle in place, as it has an auto-hover feature, and takeoffs and landings are as simple as pressing a button.
- Ideal for indoor use
- Short charging time
- Lacks propeller guards

6. Quadrone Call of Duty
For many kids nowadays, nothing says “war” quite like a certain iconic video game, which is why the Quadrone Call of Duty could be a big hit in your household. These can be used at distances of up to 150 feet, so you can encourage them to take their battles outside.
- Gently shut off after three hits
- Can fight unlimited opponents
- Smart idea to buy extra batteries

5. LuckyKS Mini
The LuckyKS Mini are perfect for taking with you on the road or to a friend’s house. While they’re already compact when buzzing around in the air, you can fold the wings up when you’re done to tuck them into your backpack or luggage.
- Easy to replace blades
- Very responsive controls
- Batteries charge in about an hour


4. Propel T-65 X-Wing

- Can be controlled via bluetooth app
- Comes with display case
- Can also fight simulated skirmishes

3. Propel Speeder Bike

- Works with or without rider
- Makes great display piece
- High-quality controller

2. FaithPro AG-05
The FaithPro AG-05 aren’t much to look at, but they make up for that by being easy to pilot and offering plenty of features. The controllers are small enough to fit in one hand, so children shouldn’t have any problem hanging onto them.
- Infrared battle system
- One-key takeoff ability
- Alert you when battery is low

1. Holy Stone HS177

- Three speed modes
- Emergency stop button
- Effortless 360-degree flips
