Why This Base Works
Most TH4 players use the same cookie-cutter layout, so this asymmetric design throws off attackers who can't plan their funnel or guess where the traps are.
The Air Defense sits in the core, surrounded by other defenses. The Mortar stays near the core behind walls, completely out of reach for Archers and Wizards.
The compact defense placement creates concentrated damage zones, so every attack style takes heavy losses no matter which side troops enter from.
Trap Placement
- Spring Traps: In front of the Air Defense. They stop Giants before they get close.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Giant Balloon: Spring Traps punish the Giants before they can do real damage, and the walled Mortar survives long enough to keep hitting whatever troops are left. That makes a clean 3-star hard to pull off.

FAQ
Why does this TH4 CWL base use an asymmetric layout?
Most TH4 bases use a symmetric design, so attackers plan their funnel around familiar patterns. This layout breaks that pattern, so attackers can't predict troop paths or guess where the traps are.
Can Archers or Wizards snipe the Mortar in this base?
No. The Mortar stays near the core behind walls, so ranged troops can't reach it from outside.
Do I need to fill the Clan Castle for this TH4 CWL base?
Yes. Fill your Clan Castle before war day. Without Clan Castle troops, it is hard to get a defense win.
