Obsidian Diamond Bastion

Overview

This Town Hall 18 layout features a specialized diamond ring shape designed to completely throw off troop pathing away from the core. The top section heavily protects the integrated Town Hall weapon system along with hero altars and spell towers to prevent easy star snipes. Surrounding the center zone, a broad ring of inferno towers and scattershots creates a formidable killzone for any incoming push.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extreme troop pathing distraction around the central diamond compartments
Concentrated high tier defenses safeguarding the top Town Hall zone
Strategic separation of core splash defenses to minimize spell value

Cons:

Queen charge from the southern entry point can grab massive defensive value
Outer trash placement enables smooth funnel creation for skilled attackers
Air armies can navigate cleanly if the lower funnel is properly established

Strategy Tips

Position giant bombs along pathing channels to destroy miner or hog rider packs
Set spell towers to poison mode to punish hero pushes entering the Town Hall compartment
Keep inferno towers set to single target mode to counter high hitpoint hero charges
