Ground Troop Counter (TH9)

TH9 trophy base built as a large anti ground and anti 2 star layout with a protected Town Hall island in the core. The Town Hall shares the center with the Clan Castle, while Red Air Bombs punish Dragons or Balloons that try to reach it directly. Four large island-style compartments surround the core: Barbarian King at the top, an air-ground X-Bow on the left, a ground X-Bow on the right and Archer Queen at the bottom. The right side is the shortest ground route toward the Town Hall, so the X-Bow is set to ground and the entry is heavily baited with Giant Bombs, Teslas and Wizard Tower coverage. This makes Golems, P.E.K.K.A.s, Valkyries and other ground pushes take heavy damage before reaching the core. Air Defenses are placed deeper inside the base as well, giving the layout solid secondary protection against air attacks while keeping the main focus on stopping ground armies and protecting the Town Hall.

Strengths

Ground X-Bow entry punishment →
The right-side X-Bow is set to ground because this is the shortest route toward the Town Hall, adding heavy pressure on Golems, P.E.K.K.A.s and Valkyries.
Protected Town Hall island →
The Town Hall and Clan Castle sit centrally, forcing ground armies through multiple defended compartments before reaching the core.
Giant Bomb and Tesla bait →
The most attractive ground entry is trapped with stacked Giant Bombs, Teslas and Wizard Tower coverage to punish committed pushes.
Large anti 2 star structure →
Four separated outer islands and deep Air Defenses make funneling difficult while keeping the Town Hall protected deep into the attack.
