Core Air Lock

TH8 trophy base with a protected central Clan Castle, deep Air Defenses and balanced compartment coverage built to stop casual attackers from snowballing through the base. The Clan Castle sits in the middle, making it hard to lure cleanly without committing troops into the core. Above that central section is a strong defensive compartment holding a Wizard Tower, Archer Tower, Bomb Tower and 2 Mortars, giving the top side heavy splash and steady coverage. Beneath the core, the Town Hall is protected by 2 Wizard Towers, 1 Air Defense and 2 Cannons, which makes the lower side expensive to clear and keeps pressure high on cleanup troops. On the left and right sides of the core, 2 more Air Defenses are placed deeper in the base with Mortars supporting the outer angles of those compartments, making dragon spam and light funneling much less reliable. The corner sections of the base use small Archer Tower compartments to add percentage denial and keep the outer ring annoying to trim. A Sweeper placed near the upper Bomb Tower points downward, helping the base control air pathing into the lower half and making direct entries less comfortable. This is a strong all-around TH8 trophy base for players who want balanced protection against common ladder attacks.
