Hi guys,
These days, I have received lots of requests for a edge obstacle spawning layout. Luckily, I have found this one – Crows, which was designed by Aphrodi. Not only for edge obstacle spawning, this layout also has an impressive protection for the core, where Town Hall and the Dark Elixir Storage are located.
Crows – Town Hall 9 Version
Crows – Town Hall 9.5 Version
Crows – Town Hall 10 Version
This layout can cover the whole base, indeed, and take the control easily in most attacks. The attackers will no longer can snipe your buildings with ease, they always mess around with the defensive ring as well as troops always roam around. And of course, you don’t need to care about upgrading Walls much!
Pros:
- Anti-Super Queen.
- Anti-AQ Core.
- High Intimidation Factor.
- Tanker/Support Troop Separation.
- Unbreakable defensive ring.
- Works fine with early Town Hall 9 and 10.
The Crows’s Features
The Core
- The core consists of the Town Hall, a couple of Archer Towers, 2 X-Bows and 4 Hidden Teslas. If they are all maxed, the core can do up to 573 DPS, this is enough to rip the Archer Queen level 30 with 1324 HP.
- With the special pathing, the Archer Queen always get lured inwards and killed most the times because there is no tanker in front of her.
- The AQ can’t hit the Dark Elixir Storage unless she can bypass the walls.
- Fully Anti-Wall Breakers with floating walls and Small Bombs. If you don’t know, a Small Bomb can kill all Wall Beakers nearby.
The Defensive Ring
The enemy Giants, Golems, Hogs and Balloons will always follow the ring below regardless. Well placed Spring Traps and Bombs can take them down easily:
Non Defensive Troop Funneling
The enemy Wizards, Archers, Barbarians, Goblins,…. always get redirected to the Giant Bombs and get completely wiped out.
Defense Logs
Hopefully the defense logs above can impress you!
How does it hold up against air attacks pal?
How does it hold up against air attacks mate?
Hi F1,
It works perfectly against air attack tho.
– ADs are not placed closely. Lava Hounds have to fly through the base and take lots of damage.
– the Wizard Towers are not locked on the ADs.
please th8 war base anti dragon lv 4 & anti gowipe
Will,
please review your base layouts again. These layouts have plenty of 2×2 spaces inside of the walls for objects to spawn. You need to make sure that there’s no 2×2 empty spaces.
Take care!

Your right!
ok cool! During Cauldron season I’ve had similar base and had cauldrons spawn wherever I had a 2×2 spot empty in the middle.
Have a great day everyone!!

Hi mate,
In most case, the special obstacles tend toward spawning close to the edge so I think it’s not a big deal at all.
Hi, tried this base. Got 2 starred but my DE was safe. I think it may work. BTW I m in champions league so my opponents are pretty tough and good. This base will work great at lower leagues to attract noob players. THNX for the base design.
Cool! Thank you very much buddy! Really appreciate it!
I like the base, but they are all the same. They have an outer ring of defenses, a ring of storage, then a core of dark air defense and archer towers. I guess it is good to have a concept and build off it, though, as I do with funneling. Every one of my bases are meant to funnel enemies into traps or high DPS areas.
Hey Will/Ash, I k
now this is unrelated, but what tool/app do you use for drawing on bases? I’d really want to know so I can plan my war attacks better. Thanks!
There is a lot of freeware apps that will work on the android and apple market to let you do what the poster does in their pics. They’ll allow you to upload your images and draw on them.
Hi..
can you make for me th 8.5 base for the new update?
i really need it…
thx for helping…
Hi Lori, It’s very easy to create the TH8.5 version of this layout. Just place your new buildings in the defenseless ring!
Works good in crystal at the moment, will post more logs later.
Awesome. Thank you very much!
More logs
This-is-awesome!
Thank you very much Nipun!
Hi Will, i think this base were so safe to protect our DE storage, perfect. Thanks for sharing this base Will.
You are very welcome HonSu. I’m very glad to hear that!
Hi, tried this base too. Got 2 starred. They didn’t get to the DE storage. I will be using this base layout for a while. I’ll be posting more logs
Awesome! Glad to hear that buddy!
More logs
Awesome! Thank you very much Roberto!
You said a couple of Archer Tower. Just a little typo, you might want to fix that to Archer Towers.
Thank you very much Adam!
Ummm.. I must be unable to connect the images, because I couldn’t get this base designed, like the first pic. Is there a video online for this one? Older eyes are to blame!
You always call it Crows, yet at the top you said you found this base and it was called Crowns.
It’s a typo. Thank you mate!
has anyone ever tried used this base in clan war?
That is not a good choice Juni!
Just got to th 10, so I’m going to give this one a try. I’ll keep you guys posted as I work with it and adjust to avoid total raid.
Awesome! Thank you very much mate!
I plan to update with an image of my version tomorrow or Sunday.
So far.
x3 1 stars – TH 9/10 attackers
x6 2 stars -primarily TH 10 attackers.
x1 3 stars – cause the dude was just a jerk TH 11 attacker going for meager trophies and no loot.
Overall, the dark elixir and TH is pretty much protected as they either run out of time or are wiped out before getting to the center. None of the 2 or 1 stars even touched the storage for my d.elixir. This is a big thing for my current point in the game.
I did have to make some changes as the CC was an easy target to draw out defensive troops.
I moved the Barb king to the spot of the clan castle, relocated just a few things above the TH.
Moved the Clan Castle in place of the middle Xbow, moving that outside behind the TH. I added the 3rd dark elixir drill where the Barb King is placed on the sample map.
Other than some minor changes, everything else is the same as the layout above.
So far I like it. It will be a good base for giving attackers the run around. The down part, TH 11 attackers can over power this easily with witches and the warden. This can probably be remedied by a trophy drop.
I’ll keep updating as needed.
Nice. Thank you very much for the update mate! I really appreciate it!
3 Month Review
Overall… solid layout.
Here is the results after 3 months.
Successful Defend – x91 (especially after the update)
1 Star raids – x132
2 Star raids – x186
3 Star raids – x5
Times that the DE was taken out – x16
I found failing to reload, or having too much resources will make you more prone to your DE being taken.I have been able to level up my King and Queen 3 times with this layout.
I’m toying around with an alternative to protect a specific resource in the center other than DE
this is just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this buddy!
Would this work with a TH8?
Nah, I don’t recommend using this type of base for Town Hall 8 dude :D, especially in this new game, the map is much bigger!
This base is awesome… I’ve used it for about a month now in Champion’s league. A good air attack will take it down pretty easily, but air attacks are very rare. Ground attacks have only gotten to the DE store one or two times even with several attacks by near-max TH10 armies. If your objective is to keep DE safe, I highly recommend this base.
Thank you very very much Chris! For sharing this!
