In Clan War Leagues, preventing 3-stars is crucial. Here's how to build bases that frustrate attackers.
Core Principles of Anti-3 Star Bases
1. Spread Key Defenses

- Spread Eagle Artillery from Town Hall
- Separate X-Bows across the base
2. Protect the Town Hall
- TH in center or offset center
- Surrounded by high HP buildings
- Multiple layers of walls
3. Trap Placement
