Dragon Counter Layout (TH9)

TH9 trophy base built as a strong anti 2 star Dragon layout with a central Town Hall island and deep anti air coverage. Two Air Sweepers beside the Town Hall point left and right, making side entries awkward once Dragons start moving toward the core. The diamond-shaped structure uses many compartments to split pathing and keep Air Defenses deeper inside the base, while outer buildings make it harder for Archer Queen Giant Arrow value to remove multiple Air Defenses cleanly. The Clan Castle sits below the Town Hall with Furnace support acting like extra anti air pressure, while X-Bows above and below the core are set to air-ground to spread defensive coverage across the full base. Attacks from the top or bottom are pushed toward the side compartments before reaching the Town Hall, where the Sweepers become a major problem. Black Mines are placed between Air Defenses and Wizard Towers to punish Dragons and other heavy air troops as they move through the base.
