Base Layouts
Base Layout Tips
- Keep your longest ranged defensive buildings closer to the core of your base (Catapults, Arrow Launchers).
- Catapults and Arrow Launchers have a blind spot close to the center, make sure you surround them with other buildings or walls to help keep troops away.
- Try not to keep all your Spell Towers too close together, they can be rendered useless by Ancient debuff spells, or totally destroyed with Jal's 3rd spell.
- Place your longest range and splash damage defenses next to Primus Conduits to maximise their effectiveness.
- Use multiple layered walls to increase your chances at making troops walk around to reach walled buildings.
- Avoid placing Troop Portals on the outside of your design, easy mana will allow the attacker to cast more spells.
- Don't put all your Troop Portals in the one area, evenly spread them around your base.
- Try to cover every building with a defense to help prevent Dragons from sniping and building up sweep charges.
- Gold Storage is useless during Kingdom Wars, it's best to move them further out of your core in favor of more defenses.
- Builder's Huts aren't completely useless, they can be used to distract troops.
- Move upgrading defenses out of your core.
- Keep some anti-air defenses near your Stronghold to help prevent Dragon sniping.
- Avoid using all the same type of Spell Tower elements, some Ancients spells will totally negate the effects (eg, Foreveil against Flash Freeze Spell Towers).
- Build less Gold Smelters, this will mean less buildings to protect. You'll be able to design a stronger layout without them.
