TH18 Base Building Tips
- →Protect the Town Hall core so one entry does not open the entire base
- →Avoid predictable pathing; straight lanes make high-end ground attacks easier
- →Keep air and ground coverage layered so a single spell cycle cannot break the base
- →Use the Exposed Base Checker to see whether your layout has public clears
- →Rotate layouts once the base becomes popular in the community
