TH16 Anti-2 Hot Candle War Base

CC: 1 Ice Golem, 2 Rocket Balloon, 3 Headhunters, 1 Archer

• Teslas are paired with Skeleton Traps and Bombs to deal heavy damage alongside the Hot Candle.
• Air Skeleton Traps help disrupt air spam attacks.

TH16 Anti-3 Cake-A-Pult CWL Base

CC: 2 Ice Golems, 20 Archers

• Anti-smash compartments keep key defenses inside the Rage Tower aura.
• The Eagle Artillery and Town Hall are placed on opposite sides to make common meta attacks harder.
• Heavy ground traps, air traps, and Teslas protect the Town Hall side and punish direct entries.
• Attacking from the opposite side is also difficult because funneling into the Rage zone is risky.
• Troops entering the core are pressured by the Multi-Target Inferno, Monolith, and side defenses.
• Hot Candle and Archer Towers provide strong anti-air damage while Skeleton Traps stall Dragons in high-damage areas.

TH16 Anti-2 Cake-A-Pult Ranked Base

CC: 2 Ice Golems, 3 Headhunters, 2 Archers

• The base gives very little Flame Flinger value.
• Difficult pathing makes it harder for troops to reach the core defenses.

TH16 Anti-3 Hero Hunter Ranked Base

CC: 1 Furnace, 2 Ice Golems, 2 Archers

• Strong Anti-3 layout with three Inferno Towers and a well-protected core.
• Dead zones separate the Multi-Target Inferno and Eagle Artillery from the core, making access more difficult.
• Designed to defend against both air and ground spam attacks.
• The isolated Multi-Target Inferno and Monolith protect key entry paths with support from Heroes.
• Two main compartments provide strong and balanced damage around the center.

TH16 Anti-2 Hot Candle Farming Base

CC: 1 Super Dragon, 10 Archers

• The Invisibility Spell Tower covers the main storages and high-value resource buildings, making them difficult to loot.
• Spring Traps and Giant Bombs punish ground troops trying to reach the resources.
• Seeking Air Mines and Air Bombs protect key resources against air farming attacks.
• Dragons can take heavy damage from the concentrated air traps around the resource areas.

TH16 Anti-2 Hot Candle CWL Base

CC: 1 Furnace, 1 Ice Golem, 2 Headhunters, 5 Archers

• Town Hall sits in the core with only small defenses around it, so a Super Yeti Clone blimp gets little value
• Hot Candle on the bottom side, hitting both ground and air troops from the start
• Monolith stands alone at the top, behind the Eagle Artillery, making it hard to reach
• Both Spell Towers in the Scattershot compartment set to Poison

TH16 Anti-2 Farming Base

CC: 2 Witches, 1 Baby Dragon, 16 Archers

• Diamond shaped base with defenses spread evenly, so no direction gives attackers good value
• Town Hall and storages locked in the center behind double Invisibility Towers
• Invisibility Towers trigger at key moments, causing troops to skip past your loot until it's too late
• Bomb placements set to break the timing of common farming armies
• Reaching the core loot is a real grind, making cheap raids and easy 2 stars unlikely

TH16 Anti-3 Farming Base

CC: 2 Witches, 1 Baby Dragon, 16 Archers

• Diamond shaped layout with defenses spread evenly so no side is a soft entry
• Storages sit safely in the core behind two Invisibility Towers, making them a pain to reach
• Bombs and traps work alongside the towers to keep the whole core tight
• Trap placement counters the most common farming armies before they build momentum
• Invisibility Towers scramble troop paths, making a clean full clear really tough

CC: 3 Ice Golems, 5 Archers

• Dual Poison Towers plus layered traps shut down the most popular attack strategies in Legend League

• Teslas, Skeleton Traps, and Bombs placed to wreck Royal Champion entries
• Seeking Air Mines hunt down Dragons and Root Riders before they get deep
• Tornado and Spring Traps slow down and remove key troops, giving you consistent anti 2 defense for a steady climb

TH16 Anti-2 War Base

CC: 2 Ice Golems, 1 Furnace, 2 Archers

• Dual Poison Towers backed by smart trap placement to counter the toughest attack styles
• Storages positioned to redirect Root Riders away from the core, leaving them wandering the outside
• Teslas, Skeleton Traps, and Bombs shut down Royal Champion walks before they get value
• Seeking Air Mines plus a Tornado Trap at 6 o'clock stop entries right at the start
• Built to hold the line in clan wars and prevent consistent 2 star results

TH16 Anti-3 CWL Base

CC: 2 Ice Golems, 2 Rocket Balloons, 4 Archers

• Box shaped CWL base pairing dual Poison Towers with a Rage Tower to counter Root Rider and Dragon spam
• Teslas redirect Root Riders away from key targets, leaving them wandering off plan
