Why This Base Works
This base uses a box-style design with spread defenses, creating a hard-to-reach center. Two Poison Towers weaken troop groups as they push in.
Teslas on both sides pull Root Riders off their best pathing routes, and a Tornado Trap slows Royal Champion, wasting her charge ability. Spring Traps push out Super Bowlers before they can deal real damage. The layout also denies good Warden ability positioning, which reduces overall attack survivability.
