Frequently Asked Questions
Pick based on what your clan keeps facing. If Root Riders are problem, Base 1 and Base 2 are built to split them from Healers and force retargets. If your issue is RC walks then use Base 7. Seeing Fireball spam ? Go with Base 4. Always counter meta you’re actually facing not what looks cool.
Base 2 is straight anti-3 war layout. Large dead zones and double Poison Towers pull Root Riders off support and force low percentage damage. It’s built to prevent clean triples not just defend the Town Hall.
Base 1 layers walls so Root Riders keep retargeting, getting extra time for splash and Air Defenses to eliminate Healers. Base 2 splits Root Riders from support using dead zones and Poison.
Base 4. It spreads key defenses into separate compartments so Fireball can’t get down multiple targets at once. That forces extra spells and kills the usual high value for Warden Fireball attacks.
Base 6 spaces defenses to reduce chain value and uses Rage Towers in the core to boost Infernos, Revenge Tower and Bomb Hive damage. Don’t stack defenses together if E-Drags are common in your league.
2x Super Minions with Lava Hound works well. Lava Hound engages with heroes while Super Minions deal heavy damage from behind. Rocket Loons also helps shut down early Queen walks and slow hybrid troops.
Base 9 is built for Legend League above 6000 trophies and designed for time fails. It surrounds Town Hall with traps to reduce Blizzard value and wastes time with awkward pathing. Base 10 is also used in ranked mode and tournaments so it’s solid for competitive defense.
Base 7 is built exactly for that. Large dead zones, split compartments and giant bombs force early ability and low percentage damage. It also spreads defenses to reduce Electro Boot value and make funneling harder.
