Why This Base Works
The anti-smash compartments keep the key defenses inside the Rage Spell Tower aura. The Eagle Artillery and the Town Hall sit on opposite sides, which makes common meta attacks harder. Attacking from the opposite side is difficult too, because funneling into the Rage zone is risky.
Troops that enter the core get pressured by the Multi-Target Inferno, the Monolith and the side defenses. Heavy ground traps, air traps and Teslas protect the Town Hall side and punish direct entries.
The Hot Candle and the Archer Towers provide strong anti-air damage, while Skeleton Traps stall Dragons in high-damage areas.
Trap Placement
- Spring Traps, Bombs and Giant Bombs: Stacked at the bottom entry. They punish a ground push.
- Skeleton Trap: Spread around the base. It is set to air mode and pairs with the Air Bomb to disrupt air attacks.
- Air Bomb: Behind the Town Hall. It baits Healers.
- Seeking Air Mine: In the core. It takes the Battle Blimp down.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- RC Charge Dragon: The Royal Champion gets baited by traps at the Town Hall entries. The deeper Air Defenses have time to attack the Dragons.
- Super Bowler Smash: The Super Bowlers get baited by the Tornado Trap and the traps at the Town Hall entry. The core Eagle Artillery and the Cake-A-Pult deal maximum damage to grouped troops.

FAQ
Why do the Town Hall and the Eagle Artillery sit on opposite sides in this TH16 CWL base?
That placement makes common meta attacks harder. The Town Hall side is protected by heavy traps, and funneling into the Rage zone from the other side is risky.
