Superior TH5 War Coc Layout | Anti Everything Battlemaster
Latest Reviews
Strategy Explanation
This TH5 war layout runs a compact diamond with layered compartments to waste time and break Giant pathing. The Town Hall sits dead center with the Clan Castle and the single Mortar tucked beside it, protected by an inner square. Two red Air Bombs hug the core and the Air Defense is placed just off-center toward the top, making it hard to snipe with early Balloons. Elixir storages are split left and right, while gold storages sit on the lower inner ring, so no attack gets both resource types and the Town Hall for free. Cannons anchor the inner ring and Archer Towers cover the four sides from slightly offset pockets. Outside the walls, collectors and mines form a distraction buffer and help funnel troops into the wrong compartments.
The base wants Giants to walk the edge into staggered compartments, hitting an Archer Tower or Cannon first and then getting sprung or bombed as they turn corners. Small bombs are placed on the east and west entries (visible near the gaps in buildings), and springs sit in the elbow paths between the outer and inner rings. Because the CC is centralized, proper lures take effort; rushed lures usually path into Archer Tower fire and the Wizard Tower that guards a storage.
Strengths
- Centralized Town Hall + CC behind two layers slows 3-star attempts and resists early snipes.
- Anti-air core: Air Defense cannot be reached without opening multiple walls; Air Bombs cover the TH pocket.
- Excellent Giant pathing: tight corners and small compartments feed troops over springs.
- Split storages and staggered defenses deny easy value from Lightning or a single Wall Breaker hole.
- Outside collectors create time pressure and a natural funnel into traps.
Trap Placement Notes
- Keep both Air Bombs tight to the Town Hall/Mortar pocket as shown; they catch first wave Balloons.
- Place Spring Traps on the inner ring turns where Giants naturally path after breaking the first wall.
- Small bombs sit just outside the east/west entries to pop Wall Breakers before they open the second layer.
Recommended Clan Castle Troops
- 1 Wizard + Archers: fast splash plus cleanup pressure on mass Barb/Archer.
- Baby Dragon (if allowed by donor): punishes poor lures and shreds Giants under AD cover.
How It Defends Common TH5 Attacks
- Giants + Archers: Giants walk around the diamond, hit springs at the elbows, while Archers get mortared from the core.
- Balloon rush: central AD and inner Air Bombs force heavy losses before Balloons reach the TH compartment.
- Barch: spread storages and Wizard Tower near a storage pocket punish clumped swarms.
Builder and Upgrade Tips
- Max the Air Defense and Wizard Tower first; the layout’s value hinges on those two.
- Keep walls at least gold level on the inner ring to maintain Giant pathing and time drain.
- Rotate outside collector positions between wars to disrupt pre-scouted funnels.
