Strategy Explanation
This TH7 war base runs a compact diamond with a tight core and a ring of small compartments. The Town Hall and Clan Castle sit dead center, wrapped by storages to soak damage and stall pathing. Two Air Defenses are tucked just left and right of the core, while the Air Sweeper is central enough to cover approaches into that diamond. Wizard Towers are split on opposite diagonals, and the three Mortars form a triangle around the middle. Archer Towers and Cannons are spread evenly on the outer ring so there’s always crossfire on entries. A line of Builder Huts is parked along the top edge, with a few exterior “trash” buildings on the right and lower sides to slow early funneling.
The layout forces ground troops to chew through several small chambers instead of one big wall break, and it’s clearly built to waste time: even after cracking the core, attackers must backtrack to clear the outer ring and those top huts.
Strengths
- Anti-Dragon at TH7: The two Air Defenses are deep and separated, so one zap won’t cripple the air coverage. Central Sweeper adds extra pushback once dragons reach the middle.
- Core denial: Town Hall, CC, and storages in the center make it hard to snipe the heart of the base with a single push.
- Splash spread: Wizard Towers on opposite sides plus the Mortar triangle punish clumped ground troops and Hog clean-up squads.
- Time pressure: Builder Huts on the north edge and scattered outer buildings make 3-star timing tight if attackers don’t save cleanup.
- Anti-funnel walls: Multiple short compartments create awkward Wall Breaker paths and cause Giants/Hogs to split under fire.
Trap Placement Recommendations
- Springs: Slot between Cannon–Archer Tower pairs on the left and bottom corridors to catch pathing Hogs/Giants.
- Giant Bombs: Tuck just inside the ring near each Wizard Tower to punish Hog rotations and Giant clumps.
- Air Traps: Place Seeking Mines slightly behind each Air Defense; stack Red Air Bombs on the approach lines you expect dragons to take.
Clan Castle Setup
Best defensive CC: 1 Dragon. At TH7 there’s no Poison in standard war attacks, so a centralized Dragon is brutal and hard to lure through the walls.
How to Use in CWL
- Rotate the Air Sweeper between wars to face the scouted dragon entry.
- Swap a storage with a defense on the side that keeps getting zapped to change pathing.
- Move one Builder Hut to a bottom corner if opponents beat you on time; keep one or two at the top to stretch cleanup.
Attacker’s Scouting Notes
- For dragons: zap the Air Defense with fewer overlapping towers, then enter from that edge to collapse toward the core with Rage.
- For Hogs: plan surgical drops and heal through the Wizard Tower sides; watch for springs in the defense-to-defense gaps.
