Best TH10 Anti-2 Star Base 2026 -- Single-Mode Inferno Strategy
Proven TH10 anti-2 star base designs for 2026. Single-mode Infernos on a deep Town Hall core, spread Air Defenses, and Giant Bomb clusters stop GoHo and LaLoon cold.
TH10 wars are decided by whether the attacking Archer Queen gets a clean walk and whether Hog Riders reach the Town Hall without hitting Giant Bomb clusters. Set both Infernos to single mode to burn through high-HP heroes before they strip your core, and bury the TH so deep that even a good GoHo run expires at the last wall.
Both Infernos on Single Mode
Multi-mode Infernos handle swarms; single-mode Infernos kill heroes. At TH10, the most dangerous threat to your war star is the Archer Queen Walk into a GoHo or ZapLaLoon combo. Single-mode Infernos lock onto the Queen before she clears your outer ring defenses, forcing the attacker to divert Healers or abandon the walk entirely. Place both Infernos adjacent to the Town Hall compartment, covering the two most contested approach corridors.
Giant Bomb Cluster Placement
Hog Riders are the primary threat to TH10 war stars. Place a double Giant Bomb set on each of the three most likely Hog approach paths -- typically the straight-line corridors between your outer Mortars. Add Spring Traps at chokepoints where Hogs must funnel single-file through wall gaps. A well-placed cluster can eliminate 10 to 15 Hogs in a single trigger, ending a 3-star attempt instantly.
Dark Elixir Storage as Secondary Bait
Position the Dark Elixir Storage slightly off-center but not inside the Town Hall compartment. Attackers who pivot to steal DE waste troops on a secondary objective, burning time before the TH is reachable. Surround the DE storage with high-DPS defenses rather than walls -- this makes it appear valuable while punishing any attempt to raid it mid-attack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why run single-mode Infernos for anti-2 star at TH10?
Single mode applies a ramping damage beam that shreds the Archer Queen before she clears your outer defenses, eliminating the Queen Walk that enables clean 3-star attacks.
Where should Giant Bomb clusters go in a TH10 anti-2 star base?
On the three most direct Hog Rider approach paths -- usually the corridors between outer Mortars. Double Giant Bombs side by side wipe 10 to 15 Hogs per trigger.
How do I stop ZapQuake LaLoon at TH10?
Spread your three Air Defenses in a wide triangle so two Lightning Spells cannot hit more than one AD. Keep one AD inside the core beyond Lightning Spell range.
Does Town Hall placement matter at TH10?
Yes. Bury it three compartments deep with both Infernos flanking it. The deeper the TH, the more troops attackers burn reaching it before the clock runs out.
