Best TH10 Anti-Air Base 2026 -- Counter LaLoon and ZapLaLoon

TH10 elevates air attacks with ZapLaLoon -- LaLoon paired with Lightning Spells to destroy one Air Defense before the main attack deploys. Three Air Defenses allow a triangle spread that counters both the ZapQuake opener (which can only eliminate one AD per two Lightning Spells) and the main LaLoon wave. Anti-air design at TH10 is fundamentally about ensuring attackers cannot pre-destroy two ADs with spells.

Three-AD Triangle with ZapQuake Spacing

With three Air Defenses, spread them so no two are within range of a double Lightning Spell combo (roughly 12 tiles apart). A clean triangle formation across all three inner quadrants of your base ensures the ZapQuake opener can eliminate at most one AD before the LaLoon army deploys. Two surviving ADs firing simultaneously on Lava Hounds and Balloons is enough to collapse most LaLoon attacks before they clear the inner ring defenses.

Inner-Ring Air Defense Placement

All three Air Defenses belong inside the second compartment ring, not on the outer perimeter and not in the Town Hall compartment. Outer-ring ADs are easily funneled around; TH-compartment ADs are reached too late to defend the outer structures. Second-ring placement means ADs engage Lava Hounds and Balloons as they transition from outer perimeter to inner core -- the most contested phase of a LaLoon attack.

Air Mine Depth Placement

Seeking Air Mines placed adjacent to ADs provide burst damage on Lava Hound approach. Air Bombs placed between the outer ring and the first AD handle Balloon swarms that spread after a Lava Hound pop. Place two Air Bombs at the most likely Balloon funnel points -- the angles Balloons approach from after the Hound tanks the first AD. This two-layer Air Mine and Air Bomb system catches both the Hound (Seeking Mines) and the post-pop Balloon swarm (Air Bombs).
