Electro Dragons become much more powerful when buildings are close enough for lightning chains to keep attaching toward important defenses. These TH17 anti air bases spread buildings and defenses across different compartments, reducing chain value and making Electro Dragons spend more time moving between targets while Air Defenses, X-Bows and Firespitters continue attacking them.
Air Sweepers are positioned toward common Electro Dragon, Balloon and Battle Blimp entry angles. A well placed Sweeper can push air troops sideways instead of letting them move directly through the planned route. Electro Dragons that separate from Balloons or supporting heroes become easier for defenses on different sides of layout to target.
Firespitters are especially stronger when placed deeper inside base instead of outside where they can be eliminated at start. Once Dragons or Electro Dragons move closer to core, Firespitters can keep facing grouped air troops while Inferno Towers and Scattershots cover nearby area. Rage Spell Tower can boost several of these defenses together when main air army reaches them.
Battle Blimps can bypass much of base and target Town Hall or another important compartment, so direct flight paths need their own protection. Air Sweepers can change Blimp route, while Seeking Air Mines and other air traps placed along likely approaches can eliminate loons or damage valuable air units before Blimp reaches its planned location.
Defensive heroes also matter against air attacks. Archer Queen, Minion Prince and other air targeting defenses can attack Dragons and Electro Dragons while they move through layout. When these units are covered by Rage Spell Tower or protected behind high hitpoint buildings, attackers may need Freeze spells earlier than planned just to keep air army moving.

Air attacks are easiest to control when Dragons, Electro Dragons and Balloons stay together and move through base in direction the attacker planned. Strong TH17 anti air layout tries to break that movement. If Sweepers push troops sideways, Electro Dragon chains stop between buildings or Firespitters survive until army reaches core, air push can lose enough troops to finish with fewer stars or lower destruction.
