How the base works

  1. 1The attacker sees spread compartments and a deep Town Hall.
  2. 2Expected path: a funnel from 2 or 4 o'clock toward the core.
  3. 3Defensive value is spent on wall rings and the long back end.
  4. 4It can fail against Giant + Archer push from 4 o'clock: one trap lane and wall ring slow the path.
Deny 3 stars: spends value on wide compartments and the long back end; gives up some Town Hall safety.
