Best TH13 Anti-2 Star Base 2026 -- Four-Hero Spread

TH13 gives attackers Root Riders and the Royal Champion, making ground-based 3-star attacks genuinely threatening. Anti-2 star design must split the four defending heroes to deny any single Queen Charge from clearing multiple defenders in one sweep. Scattershot cross-fire and trap corridors make every approach dangerous.

Four-Hero Spread Placement

Place one hero per quadrant: Barbarian King at 9 o'clock, Archer Queen at 3 o'clock, Grand Warden at 6 o'clock, Royal Champion at 12 o'clock. This spread forces attackers to run separate surgical strikes for each hero before launching their main push -- consuming Rage Spells and troop housing space that would otherwise power the Town Hall assault. Heroes in adjacent compartments can be cleared together; spread heroes cannot.

Dual Scattershot Anti-Approach Placement

Position both Scattershots to cover the two most direct approach corridors -- typically the horizontal and vertical axes of your base. An attacker who avoids one Scattershot marches directly into the other. Giant Bomb clusters and Spring Trap rows on ground corridors between Scattershots punish Hog Rider and Root Rider approaches from any angle.

Town Hall Depth and Final Trap Ring

The Town Hall should require clearing at minimum four wall layers and two hero compartments to reach. Surround the final wall ring with a full trap set: two Giant Bombs, three Spring Traps, and Skeleton Traps on ground mode. Any attacker reaching this ring with less than 40% army remaining will struggle to secure the 2-star before the timer expires.
