Why This Base Works

The Town Hall sits at the edge to bait attackers onto the side paths, where the Tesla farm waits for them.

The Clan Castle sits in the core with the two X-Bows set to air mode. Together they handle both ground and air armies.

It is easy for attackers to get 2 stars here, but hard to get a clean 3-star attack in Ranked battles.

Trap Placement

  • Spring Traps: On the Hog Rider path. They fling Hog Riders out of the map.
  • Skeleton Trap: In the Tesla farm section. The skeletons slow down enemy troops.
  • Bombs: On the outside. They stop Wall Breakers from opening the walls.
  • Giant Bomb: On the Hog Rider path. It damages groups of Hog Riders and Valkyries.
  • Red Air Mines: Around the base. They are set against LaLoon.
  • Black Air Mines: At the Air Defenses. They shoot down Lava Hounds and Dragons.

What Attacks Does This Base Counter?

  • Zap Dragon: All X-Bows are set to air mode to handle Dragon spam, with the Black Air Mines helping too.
  • Golem & Witch: The Wizard Towers and Mortars work together to clear the skeletons and damage the Witches.
  • Queen Charge Hog Rider: The defenses sit close together and deal high damage to the Queen, and the Giant Bomb is placed against the Hog Riders.
  • LaLoon: The Red and Black Air Mines are set against LaLoon.
