TH15 Anti 3 Star Base with Diamond Core Compartments
A TH15 anti 3 star base built around a tight diamond core, layered compartments, and awkward pathing that slows spam attacks and makes full clears tougher.

Strategy Explanation
This TH15 anti 3 star layout uses a diamond-style structure with the main defensive value pulled into the middle instead of sitting loose on the outside. The Town Hall is tucked into the upper core area, while the center is packed with key defenses, hero coverage, and layered walls that make it hard for attackers to grab everything with one clean push.
The base is not trying to be a simple anti 2 star box. It gives attackers access to some outside value, but the deeper compartments are arranged so troops have to keep turning, splitting, or stopping on walls. That is exactly what you want from a TH15 anti 3 star base: make the first phase look manageable, then punish the follow-through when spells are running out.
Strengths
- Compact but layered core: important defenses are close enough to stack damage, but separated enough that one Rage or Freeze does not solve the entire base.
- Awkward troop pathing: the diamond compartments pull troops around the base instead of straight through the center.
- Good anti-spam shape: Electro Titans, Root Riders, Yetis, and Dragon-style pushes can lose momentum if the funnel is not built correctly.
- Protected Town Hall approach: the TH15 is not sitting on an easy edge, so attackers need a real plan to secure it safely.
- Spread outside buildings: cleanup troops have to travel, which can create time pressure after a messy main attack.
Core Value Protection
The strongest part of this base is how the core is shaped. The Town Hall sits above the central mass rather than on the outer rim, and the surrounding compartments force attackers to commit spells before they reach the best value. This helps against attacks that want to send everything in one line and depend on early momentum.
The central Clan Castle area and hero coverage also make direct entries more expensive. If the attacker pushes from the bottom or a lower corner, they still have to fight through several layers before reaching the Town Hall zone.
Diamond Pathing and Funnel Pressure
The diamond layout is useful because troops rarely walk in a perfectly straight route. Side compartments and offset defenses can pull units left or right, especially after the outer buildings are cleared unevenly. That small split is often enough to turn a three-star attempt into a high percentage two-star.
This is especially relevant against spam attacks. If the attacker drops too wide, part of the army can loop around the outside. If they drop too narrow, the core damage becomes heavier and the back-end defenses stay alive longer.
Air and Ground Coverage
The defense spread gives the layout a balanced feel against both air and ground. Air attackers still need to respect the protected core and the distance between key targets, while ground attackers have to deal with multiple wall layers before reaching the highest-value section.
It is not a pure anti-air trap base, but the spacing makes simple Dragon or Electro Dragon pathing less comfortable. The outside defenses and storages also help slow air troops before they reach the middle.
Best Use and Copy Layout Notes
This TH15 base is a good fit for players who want an anti 3 star setup for regular wars, CWL testing, or defensive practice. It is strongest when your key defenses, heroes, and traps are upgraded enough to punish attackers inside the core.
If you use the copy layout option, check trap placement after copying and adjust a few traps based on what your clan is facing. For example, move air traps toward common Blimp lines if you are seeing Super Archer hits, or shift ground traps near the most common Queen Charge entry.
