TH15 War Base Overview
TH15 is one of the most populated Town Hall levels in Clash of Clans. War base design differs fundamentally from trophy bases:
- War base goal: Force a 0-star or 1-star — sacrifice resources, never give up 3 stars
- Trophy base goal: Accept 2 stars, but stop the 3-star at all costs
Current Meta Attack Compositions
Super Witch + Dragon (Monkey Witch)
Weakness: Relies on a wide funnel — multiple tight compartments break the funnel
Counter layout:
- Dense inner compartments to trap the funnel
- Inferno Towers (single-target) on Dragon corridors
- Skeleton Traps set to Ground mode to distract Witches mid-push
Hydra (Super Dragon + Super Minion)
Weakness: Pure air composition, ground defenses are irrelevant
Counter layout:
- All Air Defenses pushed into the core
- Air Bombs layered along common flight paths
- Scattershot and Monolith prioritized to protect the TH
Yeti + Goblin Ground Army
Weakness: Slow movement, depends on tanky units to open the base
Counter layout:
- Giant Bombs and Land Mines clustered on the outer ring
- Skeleton Traps (ground mode) placed beside heroes
- Scattershot aimed at high-HP ground units
Key Building Placement Priority
| Building | Priority | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Town Hall 15 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Deep core, 3+ wall layers |
| Single-target Inferno | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Inner ring, counters tanks |
| Monolith | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Near core, range covers full map |
| Air Defense | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Evenly distributed, never clustered |
| Giant Bomb × 4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Funnel entry points |
Advanced Technique: Anti-Funnel Design
A funnel is the corridor attackers build before pushing the core. Anti-funnel layouts deny this by:
- Circular base shape — No obvious corners, forces attackers to deal with all four sides simultaneously
- Scattered heroes — Heroes at four corners force troop splitting
- Fake core — High-value-looking buildings on the outer edge lure attackers into wasting troops off-path
How to Test Your War Base
After each war:
- Watch the attack replays — identify exactly which compartment failed first
- Adjust layout to address that specific weakness
- Cross-reference with top-rated TH15 war bases on CocBase to find common patterns
Conclusion
There’s no universal war base. The key is continuous iteration. Spend 5 minutes after every war reviewing attack replays, pinpoint the weak spot, and tweak. Layouts that evolve with the meta consistently outperform static ones.
