Why This Base Works
The Town Hall and the Clan Castle sit together in the center. This forces attackers to fully commit to breaking through the heavily defended core.
The box layout removes obvious entry angles, so ground attacks tend to run out of steam before they reach either target.
Everything sits close together, so the defenses cover each other. The Clan Castle troops are placed to respond quickly to any ground attack funnel.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
