Why This Base Works
This base uses a ring-style layout with the Town Hall centered. Empty spaces inside the ring force enemy troops to walk around instead of taking a direct path.
That extended pathing gives your defenses more time to fire before troops reach the core. Air Defenses counter Dragons while the base holds up on the ground too.
Trap Placement
- Giant Bombs: Ready to stop Hog Riders.
What Attacks Does This Base Counter?
- Dragon and Hog Rider attacks: Air Defenses handle Dragons in the air, and Giant Bombs stop Hog Riders on the ground, while the extended pathing gives every defense more time to fire.
Which TH8 War Base Should You Copy?
- Anti-2 War (this base): Ring layout with empty spaces that make troops walk the perimeter instead of entering the core. Pick it for Dragons and Hog Riders in competitive wars.
- Anti-3 CWL: Compact box layout that funnels Dragons toward the Town Hall. See the TH8 Anti-3 CWL Base.
- Anti-Dragon CWL: Symmetric box layout with triangle Air Defenses and Black Mines. See the TH8 Anti-Dragon CWL Base.
