In many modern variations of the genre, players are given the freedom to design their own defensive layouts.

This article explores the architectural secrets used by top-ranking players to protect their precious resources and trophies.

Prepare to redesign your stronghold from the ground up for maximum defensive efficiency and intimidation.

Controlling Enemy Pathing

Funneling is the art of manipulating the enemy troops' pathfinding AI to lead them directly into your strongest traps.

To create a successful funnel, place non-defensive buildings (like resource collectors) on the outside to distract early deployers.

• Make breaking in as hard as possible.
• Create awkward pathing for the AI.
• Adjust your traps based on common attack angles.

Compartmentalization Strategies

High-level layouts utilize multiple small compartments, forcing the enemy to break through wall after wall after wall.

The core compartment should always house your main objective, guarded by your absolutely strongest, highest-level defenses.

Layout Archetype	Main Objective
Anti-Star Layout	Ensure the attacker never gets 100% destruction
Resource Protector	Maximize resource retention over trophies

Staying Ahead of the Curve

As the game's developers release balance patches and introduce new units, popular attack strategies will inevitably shift.

Take pride in your fortress, and enjoy watching the replays of attackers failing miserably against your strategic genius.
