Best TH15 Base Layouts 2026

How to Execute

1. 1

   Lure Clan Castle troops using a Wall Breaker or Balloon — kill with Poison Spell before the Root Rider formation deploys

2. 2

   Scout the base for Spell Tower positions — one with Invisibility can disrupt the Root Rider sweep by making target buildings temporarily untargetable

3. 3

   Deploy 4 Healers along the planned Root Rider entry edge before releasing the Root Riders

4. 4

   Release all Root Riders simultaneously in a horizontal line across the entry side — spacing them 2 tiles apart ensures they target different buildings rather than clustering at one wall section

5. 5

   Root Riders automatically destroy walls on contact — the formation advances continuously without slowing for wall breaches

6. 6

   Drop first Rage Spell when Root Riders engage the first Inferno Tower cluster or Scattershot area — the DPS boost pushes through faster than Healing Spell support alone

7. 7

   Deploy Bat Spell on the Spell Tower covering the base center — bat skeletons force the Spell Tower to cast on skeletons instead of Root Riders

8. 8

   Drop first Healing Spell when the Root Rider group faces combined Inferno and Spell Tower fire simultaneously

9. 9

   Second Rage Spell on the Root Rider cluster when they approach the TH compartment area

10. 10

    Second Healing Spell if Root Riders arrive at the TH with reduced HP due to Giant Bomb detonations en route

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Spell Tower with Poison Spell positioned near the TH depletes Root Rider HP continuously as they approach the final compartment — most impactful when Healing Spells are already expended

• 🛡

  Scattershots angled to cover the interior of the base rather than the perimeter hit Root Riders after they breach walls — positionally more effective than perimeter coverage since Root Riders reach the interior fast

• 🛡

  L-shaped and U-shaped compartments force Root Riders to change direction at each wall breach — adding direction changes adds time under fire from Inferno Towers and Spell Towers

• 🛡

  Giant Bomb clusters placed inside wall compartments hit Root Riders the moment they breach each layer — earlier detonations deal more net damage before Healing Spells activate

• 🛡

  Inferno Tower on Single-target burns individual Root Riders through Healer regeneration — the most reliable defensive building against Root Rider formations when set correctly

How to Execute

1. 1

   Identify the base side where Root Riders can enter with the most defenses concentrated nearby — Root Riders need a clear linear path for maximum wall-bypass efficiency

2. 2

   Lure CC troops with a Wall Breaker — eliminate with Poison Spell before the main army deploys

3. 3

   Deploy 3 Healers along the Root Rider entry edge before releasing any attack troops

4. 4

   Release all Root Riders in a line — they immediately begin destroying walls and advancing toward defenses

5. 5

   Simultaneously release Hog Riders behind the Root Rider line — Hogs jump any walls Root Riders have not yet reached

6. 6

   Release all Miners directly behind both groups — they dive underground immediately and surface beside defenses Root Riders and Hogs have not yet engaged

7. 7

   Drop first Healing Spell on the Root Rider and Hog cluster as they face first Inferno Tower or Spell Tower

8. 8

   Rage Spell on the combined cluster when Root Riders, Hogs, and Miners converge near the base center

9. 9

   Haste Spell on Hog Riders if they stall between defenses — prevents them from grouping for Double Giant Bomb triggers

10. 10

    Second Healing Spell on the remaining force approaching the TH compartment

11. 11

    Third Healing Spell at the TH area if the cluster arrives with reduced HP

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Double Giant Bomb pairs in the main Hog Rider pathing corridor remain the most impactful single trap against this composition — they eliminate Hog groups before Miners create the two-layer dilemma

• 🛡

  Spell Tower with Poison Spell along the Root Rider approach path applies continuous HP depletion that accumulates faster than Healer regeneration can compensate over a long attack

• 🛡

  Giant Bomb clusters inside wall compartments hit Root Riders at each breach point — earlier detonations before Healing Spells activate cause the most damage

• 🛡

  Inferno Tower on Single-target burns individual Root Riders efficiently — losing Root Riders early limits how far into the base Miners and Hogs can advance before facing uncontested defenses

• 🛡

  Seeking Air Mines placed beside buildings on the base perimeter damage Healers and disrupt their healing radius — forcing the Root Rider formation to advance without full regeneration support

How to Execute

1. 1

   Scout the base for Spell Tower positions — Invisibility Spell Towers are the main mid-attack disruption; plan the Blizzard drop zones to avoid overlapping with Spell Tower casts

2. 2

   Lure CC troops using a Wall Breaker — eliminate with Poison Spell before the main army deploys

3. 3

   Build the entry funnel: deploy 2 Wizards far left and 2 Wizards far right of the attack edge — burn both corners completely before placing the Golem

4. 4

   Deploy the Golem at the center of the funnel opening to absorb Scattershot and Mortar fire

5. 5

   Use Wall Breakers to open the first main wall ring

6. 6

   Deploy Super Witches in a horizontal spread directly behind the Golem — space them 3 tiles apart for maximum Big Boy spawn distribution

7. 7

   Wait 15–20 seconds for Big Boys to spawn and cluster ahead of the Super Witches

8. 8

   Drop first Blizzard Spell on the combined Super Witch and Big Boy cluster just as they approach the first major defensive cluster — the whole army becomes invisible simultaneously

9. 9

   First Jump Spell to keep the invisible army advancing through the next wall ring

10. 10

    First Bat Spell on the Scattershot or Inferno Tower area — bat skeletons force defenses to target them after Blizzard expires

11. 11

    Second Jump Spell for the inner TH ring if needed

12. 12

    Drop second Blizzard Spell when Super Witches reach the Eagle Artillery or TH area — the second invisibility window covers the most critical final push

13. 13

    Rage Spell during or immediately after second Blizzard for combined DPS + invisibility

14. 14

    Second Bat Spell at the TH for final distraction coverage

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Giant Bomb clusters inside compartments trigger regardless of invisibility — traps detect proximity, not visibility; properly placed Giant Bombs hit invisible Big Boy swarms when they pass through

• 🛡

  Bomb Tower continuous splash damage fires into the invisibility zone and deals DPS to all troops within range even when invisible — the most reliable defensive building against Blizzard attacks

• 🛡

  Ricochet Cannon fires in a fixed direction and hits invisible troops that are in its fire path — positioning it to cover the most likely Blizzard path means it deals damage regardless of troop visibility

• 🛡

  Merged Scattershot on a base interior position covers the path invisible troops walk through — since Scattershot fires in a fixed bounce pattern, it damages invisible troops that cross its projectile arc

• 🛡

  Maximize trap density inside the second and third wall rings where Blizzard drops most often occur — more traps mean more unavoidable damage during the invisibility window

How to Execute

1. 1

   Equip Grand Warden with Electro Owl before attacking — the Owl deals passive chain-lightning damage to targets near the Grand Warden throughout the Super Dragon sweep

2. 2

   Use all 5 Lightning Spells on the most isolated Air Defense — verify the complete kill before deploying troops

3. 3

   Send 2 Balloons to lure CC troops — kill with Poison Spell before Super Dragons arrive

4. 4

   Deploy Super Dragons in a spread horizontal line along the base edge farthest from remaining Air Defenses

5. 5

   Space Super Dragons 3–4 tiles apart — chain-lightning reaches adjacent Super Dragons when spacing is under 3 tiles, causing friendly fire losses

6. 6

   Set Grand Warden to Air mode — his HP aura and Electro Owl chain fire cover the entire formation

7. 7

   Drop first Rage Spell when Super Dragons converge on the Eagle Artillery or Scattershot coverage zone

8. 8

   Activate Grand Warden ability to push through concentrated multi-Defense burst damage

9. 9

   Second Rage Spell at the TH area for the final cleanup push

10. 10

    Haste Spell on any Balloons trailing behind for cleanup acceleration

How to Counter It

• 🛡

  Air Sweeper facing the widest base edge is the highest-priority single defensive upgrade against Super Dragon Spam — it resets formation pathing and breaks chain-lightning proximity

• 🛡

  Seeking Air Mines beside each Air Defense deal burst damage before Super Dragons can engage — reducing the formation's HP before chain-lightning fully develops

• 🛡

  Spell Tower with Invisibility Spell disrupts the Super Dragon sweep by making target buildings untargetable — Super Dragons repath around invisible buildings, breaking chain-lightning formation spacing

• 🛡

  Scattershots covering the corner approaches fire at multiple Super Dragons simultaneously as they approach — the large formation spread means Scattershot shots almost always hit several per launch

• 🛡

  Clan Castle Electro Dragon forces individual Super Dragons to divert from formation to engage it — breaking chain proximity for affected Super Dragons
