Why This Base Works
The wide box design gives every defense room to cover its own zone without overlap. Attackers can't isolate and overwhelm a single section.
The defenses cover multiple angles, so there's no obvious weak side to exploit.
Trap Placement
- Spring Traps: Placed on common Giant paths. They fling out Giants before they reach the core.
- Air Bombs: Positioned to take down Balloon attacks fast.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Giant Balloon: Spring Traps clear out the Giants on the ground, and Air Bombs take down the Balloons in the air. That punishes the two most common attack styles at TH5 CWL.
