TH5 Anti-3 War Base #3
This TH5 war base isolates the Mortar so it can't be sniped early. The Wizard Tower backs it up with crossfire across compartments, and the split Red Air Bombs punish every angle.

Why This Base Works
Isolating the Mortar is the key decision in this layout. Keeping it away from other high-value buildings means it avoids getting sniped early and keeps grinding down ground troops for the whole battle.
The Town Hall sits on the right side, protected by a Cannon and an Archer Tower. That makes it hard to reach for a third star. The Wizard Tower in the bottom compartment fires across into other compartments. It combines with the Cannon and Archer Tower for heavy crossfire damage. The Air Defense sits inside the base, guarded by a Cannon and an Archer Tower so it can survive and counter air attacks.
Trap Placement
- Red Air Bombs: Split across different locations. They hit Balloons from multiple angles instead of a single zone.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Mixed ground and air attacks: The Wizard Tower crossfire catches Giants funneling through neighboring compartments. The split Red Air Bombs force Balloons to take damage no matter which path they take.
