SEE ALSO: Top 5 TH17 Bases vs Root Riders & Legend Attacks
We have tested each layout against Root Riders, Fireball, Super Archer blimps, Electro Dragons, RC Walks.
Some of them use Invisibility towers for perfect timing others bait attackers into dead zones or heavy traps.
If I had to choose just five from this list then here are ones I’d personally go with Base 1, 4, 9, 12 and 16.
- Base 1 is super effective at baiting attackers into wasting spells.
- Base 4 If you’re tired of fireball spam wiping out clumped defenses this one is for you.
- Base 9 This one shuts down Royal Champion pushes hard.
- Base 12 Troops end up circling instead of going straight into the core. This layout punishes failed funneling and wastes siege machine value.
- Base 16 Triple Infernos plus Monolith right at core make it extremely hard to 3 star.
