Strategy Explanation

This TH9 war base runs a rotated diamond with tight compartmenting and a very deep core. The Clan Castle sits dead center with the Town Hall tucked just below it, wrapped by a ring of defenses and a visible Tesla farm around the core. Two X-Bows flank the core left and right, creating constant crossfire on any charge that gets inside. The four Air Defenses are spread at the cardinal points of the inner ring, while Wizard Towers sit one layer farther out to punish balloons and clean-up troops. Storages are staggered through the inner compartments (a couple toward the bottom side), acting as hitpoint buffers that delay Queen charges and Hog paths.

The outer ring mixes Cannons and Archer Towers, each in its own small box, so troops path around the diamond instead of stepping straight to the center. Mortars and splash sit slightly inward to cover that ring. Builder Huts are pushed to the four corners for time pressure. Traps are clearly emphasized: springs between point defenses on the flanks, air bombs and seeking mines around the approach to each Air Defense, and the Teslas hugging Town Hall to make the second star a grind.

Overall, the base aims to force two spells for access (Jump + Rage or two Jumps), split kill squads with awkward angles, and make Lalo/Dragons chew through overlapping splash and sweepers before they ever see the Town Hall.

Strengths

Anti 2-star core: Town Hall and CC stacked in the middle, ringed by Teslas and X-Bows. Even if the wall is breached, heroes meet layered point fire immediately.
Air denial: ADs on four points with Wizard Towers just outside them; sweepers pointing in opposite directions to cover the long sides. Red/black mines are placed on likely air entries.
Anti-Hog pathing: Many small boxes force lateral movement. Springs between Cannon–Archer Tower pairs on the edges eject waves of Hogs.
Funnel breakers: Staggered storages and collectors inside the ring pull kill squads off-line, making it hard to step into the Town Hall compartment without a perfect Jump.
Time pressure: Corner Huts and a thick outer ring slow cleanup when the main push stalls in the core.

Weaknesses

Double Jump value: A well-placed two-jump route from the northeast or southwest can connect three layers and reach both X-Bows plus the Town Hall.
Zap value on one side: If an attacker removes one Air Defense and a Sweeper on the same flank, a LavaLoon can collapse that side and sweep through with haste chains.
Queen charge windows: The bottom side has a couple of storages near the wall; with smart funneling and a Rage, a Queen can step in and snipe an Air Defense and a Wizard Tower early.

Recommended CC Troops

Dragon + Balloon + Archers (25 housing): punishes early Queen charges and forces an extra Rage/Poison.
Alternative: Lava Hound + Archers to stall air-heavy hits going for the core.

Trap and Toggle Notes

Keep Seeking Air Mines between each AD and the core to catch Loons after first Haste.
Place Red Air Bombs near Wizard Towers, not directly on ADs, to trigger mid-swarm.
Set at least one Skeleton Trap to ground on Hog-heavy clans; swap to air versus Lalo teams.
Spring Traps stay between edge point defenses where pathing is straight.

Setup Tips

Run one X-Bow ground and one ground/air for mixed coverage.
Rotate sweepers to face the scout-heavy side from recent wars.
If opponents favor Queen charges, move a Giant Bomb and a Small Bomb pair to common wall-break spots to break their opener.
