Why This Base Works

The U-shape removes guesswork for defenders. It forces troops down a single controlled route, where every defense gets a clean shot.

All defenses sit inside the walls, so attackers burn time and troops just getting to the damage-dealers. Key defenses sit close to the Town Hall as a last line of protection.

Trap Placement

  • Spring Traps: Set on the ground entry paths. They fling out Giants before they do damage.
  • Double Red Air Bombs: Positioned to bait and destroy Balloon clusters.

What Attacks Does This Base Counter?

  • Giant Balloon: Spring Traps stop the Giants on the ground, and the double Red Air Bombs punish Balloon-heavy air attacks. That covers the two most common CWL threats at TH5.
