Why This Base Works
Sacrificing the Town Hall outside the walls is a deliberate trade. Attackers burn troops and time getting an easy percentage before the real defense even starts.
The Clan Castle sits at the core, forcing attackers to deploy extra troops to lure and kill the Clan Castle troops before they can commit to the real attack.
The Air Defense on the left and the Mortar on the right spread coverage across the full base. The open compartments create awkward troop pathing, so ground units struggle to stay coordinated. Traps are placed to catch the attack patterns most common in CWL matches.

FAQ
Why is the Town Hall placed outside the walls on this TH5 CWL base?
It's a deliberate trade. Attackers get an easy percentage from the Town Hall, but they burn troops and time doing it before they can touch your real defenses.
Why is the Clan Castle at the core of this TH5 CWL base instead of somewhere safer?
It forces attackers to send extra troops just to lure and kill the Clan Castle troops before they can start the real attack. That costs them army space they need elsewhere.
Do I need to fill the Clan Castle in this TH5 CWL base?
Yes. The Clan Castle lure is the core of this base. Without CC troops, attackers have nothing to lure and kill, so they can commit their full army to the real attack.
