Best TH10 Base Layouts 2026

How to Execute

1. 1

   Before attacking: check the base for Inferno Tower modes — Multi-target shreds Miners faster; plan spell timing around whichever side it guards

2. 2

   Lure Clan Castle troops using a single Miner or Balloon, then eliminate them with Poison Spell before deploying your army

3. 3

   Identify the base half with the weakest air-independent defenses (fewer X-Bows, no Multi-target Inferno)

4. 4

   Deploy all Miners in a single horizontal line across that base edge — they automatically spread to individual targets

5. 5

   Drop the first Healing Spell the moment Miners surface and begin taking Inferno damage — do not wait for them to cluster

6. 6

   Keep chaining Healing Spells: place the second one slightly ahead of the cluster as they push toward the base center

7. 7

   Activate the Archer Queen ability if she walks alongside the Miners and drops below one-third HP

8. 8

   Drop the Rage Spell when the Miner cluster reaches the Town Hall compartment for a fast finish

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Run one Inferno Tower on Single-target and one on Multi-target — Single-target locks onto one Miner and burns through Healing Spell regeneration completely

• 🛡

  Spring Traps placed at the edges of buildings (not in open ground) trigger when Miners surface to attack, removing several at once

• 🛡

  Giant Bombs positioned at the corners of your TH compartment hit Miner clusters the moment they arrive for the final push

• 🛡

  Spread resource buildings and storages across all four quadrants — forces Miners to distribute across the whole base instead of clustering

• 🛡

  Clan Castle troops in the center add extra damage to the Miner cluster mid-sweep, compressing the attacker's healing window

How to Execute

1. 1

   Phase 1 — Queen Walk: deploy 4 Healers then the Archer Queen along the base edge that holds an Inferno Tower

2. 2

   Walk the Queen for 60–90 seconds destroying the Inferno Tower and any nearby defenses — use her ability when HP drops below 30%

3. 3

   After Queen Walk: lure CC troops from the opposite side with a sacrificial Hog, then kill them with Poison Spell

4. 4

   Deploy 8 Hog Riders along the cleaned Queen Walk side — defenses there are weakened so Hogs race through quickly

5. 5

   Immediately release all Miners in a line across the same entry point behind the Hog Riders

6. 6

   Miners dive underground and spread to targets while Hogs jump along the outer defensive ring — the base is attacked from two layers at once

7. 7

   Drop Healing Spell 1 on the Hog cluster as they approach the remaining Inferno Tower

8. 8

   Drop Healing Spell 2 on the combined Miner-Hog group when they converge at the base center

9. 9

   Haste Spell if Hogs stall between two closely spaced defenses — keeps them moving to prevent Double Giant Bomb detonations

10. 10

    Save Healing Spell 3 for the Town Hall area if the cluster arrives there at low HP

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Double Giant Bomb pairs placed along the most direct Hog pathing route between defenses detonate the entire Hog group in one hit

• 🛡

  Single-target Inferno Tower on the Queen Walk side forces her to use her ability early, limiting how far the walk extends before the main army deploys

• 🛡

  Spring Traps at defense jump-points catch Hogs as they land, removing large numbers before they trigger Healing Spells

• 🛡

  Multi-target Inferno near the base center shreds the combined Miner-Hog cluster that arrives simultaneously

• 🛡

  Spread buildings and avoid leaving obvious open corridors — Hogs follow the shortest wall-jump path, so forcing them around corners slows momentum

• 🛡

  Seeking Air Mines near the Queen Walk perimeter damage the Queen and her Healers, reducing how many structures she clears before time runs out

How to Execute

1. 1

   Scout the base: locate all three Air Defenses and plan which base edge puts a Lava Hound closest to each one

2. 2

   Lure Clan Castle troops using a Balloon, then kill them with Poison Spell — CC Dragons shred Balloons if left alive

3. 3

   Deploy one Lava Hound per Air Defense from the nearest base edge — each Hound must commit to a separate Air Defense to split anti-air fire across the entire base

4. 4

   Wait until all three Hounds are clearly tanking before deploying Balloons — premature Balloon deployment causes them to cluster on a single Air Defense

5. 5

   Release Balloons in a wide spread across the whole base once Hounds are engaged — avoid stacking them in one corner

6. 6

   Drop Rage Spell on the Balloon cluster when it reaches the most dense defensive area (usually the base center)

7. 7

   Use first Haste Spell on the Balloon column that is moving slowest — usually the group farthest from its next target

8. 8

   Minions clean any isolated non-defensive buildings that the Balloon sweep misses

9. 9

   Use second Haste Spell on the final Balloon group if they stall on the Town Hall or surrounding compartment

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Seeking Air Mines placed directly adjacent to Air Defenses (not between them) burst Lava Hounds before they fully absorb anti-air fire, causing pups to release prematurely

• 🛡

  Place all four Air Defenses in separate base quadrants — if two Air Defenses are close together, one Lava Hound tanks both and the attacker has a free Hound to spare

• 🛡

  Giant Air Bombs positioned near the base interior catch Balloon clusters that converge after Air Defenses fall

• 🛡

  X-Bow set to Air mode fires at low-flying Balloons and provides ground-level coverage that Air Defenses alone cannot supply

• 🛡

  Clan Castle with a Dragon or Electro Dragon pulls Balloons off their sweep path and forces the attacker to deal with it mid-attack

• 🛡

  Inferno Tower in Multi-target mode punishes the tight Balloon cluster that forms after all Lava Hounds have been eliminated

How to Execute

1. 1

   Lure Clan Castle troops using a Wizard and eliminate them with Poison Spell before starting the main push

2. 2

   Create a funnel: deploy 2 Wizards on each far corner of your planned attack angle to clear outside buildings and direct the army inward

3. 3

   Deploy both Golems side by side at the center of the funneled entry point — they walk forward and absorb all Cannon, Mortar, and X-Bow fire

4. 4

   Send Bowlers directly behind the Golems in a horizontal line — their rolling boulders bounce between structures ahead

5. 5

   Place Witches behind the Bowlers — skeletons spawn continuously and spread ahead of the army distracting point defenses

6. 6

   Use Jump Spell to carry the full army through the first major inner wall ring without losing momentum

7. 7

   Bat Spell on the largest cluster of Mortars or X-Bows near the base center — bat skeletons distract and overwhelm splash defenses

8. 8

   Second Jump Spell to breach the final compartment if needed

9. 9

   Rage Spell on the GoWiBo cluster at the Town Hall for a fast finish

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Inferno Tower on Multi-target mode decimates skeleton swarms and Bat Spell skeletons before they distract defenses effectively

• 🛡

  Small internal wall compartments split the skeleton swarm into fragments — Bowler boulders also deal less damage when targets are separated

• 🛡

  Bomb Tower with high splash damage fires into skeleton clusters continuously, preventing the swarm from overwhelming point defenses

• 🛡

  Mortars and Scattershot (if available) chain-react through skeleton groups faster than they spawn

• 🛡

  Seeking Air Mines placed near the Clan Castle ensure that if GoWiBo is paired with a partial air component, Balloons are punished on approach

• 🛡

  Keep the TH surrounded by compact compartments on all sides — GoWiBo loses efficiency when forced to bounce Bowler boulders around corners rather than straight lines
