01 · Defensive idea
What this layout is trying to do
Keep the Town Hall and Clan Castle inside separate layers so a single push cannot claim both at once.
War layouts care more about denying stars than saving every collector or storage. That tradeoff is intentional: a useful base has a clear job instead of trying to win every possible exchange.
Best reasons to try it
- It separates high-value defenses.
- It creates awkward funnel choices.
- It keeps the core difficult to reach.
02 · Placement guide
Build it as a system, not a picture
Start at the center and work outward. Place the main objective, then the defenses that protect it, then the walls that force an attacker to spend time reaching them. Exterior buildings come last because their spacing determines how easily an army can create a funnel.
- 1Lock the core
Keep the Town Hall and Clan Castle inside separate layers so a single push cannot claim both at once.
- 2Split premium defenses
Do not let one freeze, jump, or hero route solve every high-value target at once.
- 3Shape the approach
Offset outside buildings and wall openings so the easiest funnel does not point directly at the core.
- 4Set traps after the structure
Move spring traps and giant bombs after replays reveal the most common entry lane.
03 · TH12 context
What mattered at this Town Hall in 2020
The weaponized Town Hall turns the main objective into a defensive structure, so safe access to it should carry a real cost.
The pressure this layout must answer
Siege Machines can manufacture a route to the Town Hall, while Electro Dragons punish aligned buildings and short chain gaps.
Break long building chains, offset the Town Hall from the Eagle and Infernos, and leave enough internal space that one spell cannot cover the complete core.
Check whether the siege path reaches the Town Hall without meaningful detours. Shift approach buildings before moving the Town Hall itself.
04 · Layout-specific field note
Treat the weaponized Town Hall as one stage, not the whole core
A direct siege route becomes efficient when the Town Hall, Eagle, and Infernos can be handled inside one compact spell plan.
Offset the Town Hall and break long building chains so an Electro Dragon or siege push cannot create automatic follow-through.
Track the siege and the main army separately. If both arrive at the same premium cluster, redistribute the next objective.
05 · Replay lab
Three checks before you keep it
Which edge do attackers choose, and which outside buildings make that choice easy?
Can one spell affect the Town Hall and more than one premium defense?
Where does the main army change direction, split, or leave a defense standing?
Review three comparable defenses before making a large change. Move one or two traps first; change the structure only when the same route keeps succeeding.
