Why This Base Works
The central Cake-A-Pult is protected by The Logger and is difficult to reach. Strong flanks and a tough backend make the base difficult to finish. The King is baited toward the Town Hall, where strong compartments and dead zones sit around the key defenses.
The wall placement is set up against Giant Arrows, which helps protect the important defenses. The flanks are heavily baited too, and they punish Hero Charges.
Trap Placement
- Tornado Trap: In front of the Town Hall. It slows troops down before they reach the Town Hall.
- Bombs and Giant Bombs: At the flank. They punish Hero Charges.
- Seeking Air Mines: At the flank. They take down the Healer from a Queen Charge.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Thrower Smash: The dead zone at the Town Hall and the 5-tile gaps make it hard for Throwers to reach the Town Hall.
- Super Bowler: The open channel on the outside and the dead zone pull troops away from the Town Hall.

FAQ
Can this TH18 anti-3 CWL base stop Thrower Smash attacks?
Yes. A dead zone sits at the Town Hall with 5-tile gaps, so Throwers have a hard time reaching it.
How does this TH18 anti-3 CWL base punish Hero Charges?
The flanks are heavily baited. Bombs and Giant Bombs sit on the flanks to punish Hero Charges, and the King is baited toward the Town Hall into strong compartments and dead zones.
Is giving up 2 stars on purpose a bad idea in CWL?
No. In CWL most attacks get 2 stars anyway, so the third star is the one that decides wars. This base is built to make the 3-star very hard to take.
