Why This Base Works
The open-compartment diamond design is built to mislead. Attackers see entry points, but those paths lead straight into trap zones.
The Town Hall sits inside the walls at the bottom, covered by a Cannon and Archer Tower on both sides. The Wizard Tower at the core deals splash damage to any troops that slow down while breaking through walls.
Trap Placement
- Spring Traps: In the open compartments. The open paths funnel Giants right into them, cutting ground support early in the attack.
- Bombs: Placed on the inner wall layers. They stop Wall Breakers from punching through to the second layer.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Giant and Wall Breaker pushes: Spring Traps fling out the Giants before they build momentum, and the Bombs close off the Wall Breaker shortcut. Attackers can't simply blast a path to the Town Hall.
