What is the best TH4 CWL base in Clash of Clans?

The best TH4 CWL base centers the Clan Castle with Mortar and Air Defense in the core for dual ground and air coverage. The Town Hall sits outside to prevent easy three-stars, while the compact core maximizes clan troop effectiveness. This design handles both ground and air attacks reliably.

How do I defend against stars at Town Hall 4 in CWL?

Place the Clan Castle, Mortar, and Air Defense together in a compact core so they protect each other. Position the Town Hall outside to discourage three-star attempts. The centered Clan Castle ensures defensive troops engage attackers from all angles, making it extremely hard to clear every building.

What CC troops should I use for TH4 CWL?

Use 1 Valkyrie and 2 Archers. The Valkyrie delivers devastating splash damage to grouped ground troops and is very tough to kill at TH4. The Archers spread out for ranged cleanup support. From the centered Clan Castle, this combination engages attackers early and disrupts their push effectively.

What attacks does this TH4 base counter?

This Anti-3-Star CWL base counters both ground and air strategies. The core Mortar shreds Barbarian and Archer spam, while the Air Defense handles Balloon rushes. Spring Traps catch Giants on approach paths. The outside Town Hall wastes attacker troops, making full destruction nearly impossible with TH4 armies.

Why is a CWL base important at TH4?

A dedicated CWL base at TH4 is essential for denying three stars in Clan War League. This layout's compact core with centered Clan Castle and dual defense coverage makes full clears extremely difficult. Without a proper CWL base, opponents easily three-star and cost your clan valuable league medals.

Why This Base Works

The Town Hall sits outside the walls. It gives up a free star and baits attackers into that side.

The Mortar and Air Defense sit in the core, so they stay alive longer to fight both ground and air troops.

All Archer Towers and the Cannon sit inside closed wall compartments. This makes it hard for Wall Breakers to open a path to the core.

The Clan Castle sits in the core. Filled Clan Castle troops make this base even stronger.

Trap Placement

Bombs: On the left side. They stop Wall Breakers from opening the second wall layer.
Spring Traps: On the right side. They bounce away Wall Breakers and Giants.

What Attacks Does This Base Counter?

Giant Balloon: Giants have no easy path to the Air Defense in the core. The Air Defense can then clear the Balloon backup.
Mass Balloon: Balloons that enter from the right side reach the Archer Towers last. Balloons from the left side reach the Air Defense last. No entry point is easy.
GiBarch: The Mortar cannot be reached from the outside, so it deals heavy damage the whole attack. The multiple wall compartments also slow down ground troops.

FAQ

Why is the Town Hall not in the center of this base?

Anti-3 bases give up two stars on purpose. The goal is to make 100% destruction almost impossible.

Does this base stop Balloon attacks?

Yes. The Air Defense in the core stays alive longer, and Balloons have no easy entry point.

Is this base good for the whole CWL week, or should I rotate?

Yes, you can use this base for the whole CWL week. It gives both ground and air attackers a hard time.

Do I need to fill the Clan Castle in this base?

Yes. Please fill your Clan Castle troops. Without them, it is hard to get a defense win.
