Anti 2 Star Donut (TH16)

TH16 trophy base built as a strong anti 2 star donut layout inspired by the classic ring-base style. The Town Hall sits protected in the core with Rage Tower, Poison Spell Tower, 3 Multi Infernos and heavy wall spacing around it, forcing troops to walk the ring instead of entering cleanly. The top side holds the high-value entry pressure, while the Eagle Artillery is placed on the lower side, forcing attackers to choose between starting top for core pressure or bottom for Eagle value. Side compartments with Scattershots, Firespitters, X-Bows and layered defenses create strong pathing control against Root Riders, Dragon Duke and air spam. The left side is heavily baited with Tesla Farm, Giant Bombs and Red Air Bombs, punishing rushed entries and Duke Jetpack attempts. Because the top and bottom corners do not give clean defensive value, Dragon Duke cannot easily fly in a straight high-value line through the base. This makes the layout strong against Dragon Duke, Root Riders and general trophy pushing attacks.

Strengths

Donut anti 2 star core →
Town Hall, Rage Tower, Poison Tower and 3 Multi Infernos sit inside a thick ring that prevents direct core access.
Forced ring pathing →
Wall spacing pushes troops around the base instead of letting them enter the Town Hall cleanly.
Duke Jetpack bait →
Left-side Teslas, Giant Bombs and Red Air Bombs punish Dragon Duke and Jetpack attempts.
Anti Root Rider structure →
Side compartments, Firespitters and trap bait make Root Rider pathing messy and reduce direct Eagle or Town Hall value.
Classic donut base structure →
The ring-style structure keeps the Town Hall protected while troops are pulled around the outside compartments.
Anti Dragon Duke line value →
Top and bottom corners avoid clean high-value Duke lines, making straight Jetpack entries harder to control.
Trophy pushing defense →
The base focuses on star denial and awkward pathing, making it useful for trophy and ranked defense.
