Diamond Ringed Core

This TH12 trophy base uses a wide diamond-style layout with the Town Hall and a single Inferno Tower deep in the core, protected by two sweepers and a surrounding anti-blimp ring. New Warden Eternal Tome nerf makes reaching the core risky. Flanking core compartments house a single Inferno on the left and a multi Inferno on the right, with extra balance via 2 Giant Bombs to punish hybrid. Under the core are the CC, Eagle Artillery, Queen, and Minion Prince. X-Bows and Teslas positioned along long lanes, and outer gaps with wall rows and spacing create severe eDragon pathing disruption.

Strengths

Ready for Ranked trophies
Only Ranked Battles will award trophies and they reset by tournament; this anti-2★ shape protects your placement while Battle mode lets you farm freely. Source: Supercell announcement 2 Sept 2025.
Eagle-centered diamond core
Central Eagle with layered walls forces long pathing; pushing Eagle side eats time and trap value, while skipping it leaves sustained splash fire.
TH box with X-Bow cover & bait
Bottom TH box has double X-Bows, Giant Bombs and spring pockets—common entry gets slowed and risks 1★.
Twin Inferno islands + diagonal sweep
Multi Infernos on left/right islands with Sweepers angled up make e-drag/dragon lines split and stall.
Top multi + dual Bomb Towers
Late-stage pushes toward the top meet stacked splash for wipe potential when spells are low.
Anti-RC / wallbreaker tech
Double wall gaps and offset buildings desync RC pathing and waste breakers.
