Best TH14 Anti-2 Star Base 2026 -- Pet-Counter Core Design

TH14 introduces Pets, and Lassi's wall-jump ability makes Queen Charges significantly more dangerous. Anti-2 star design must account for a Queen who can now bypass wall compartments. Place Clan Castle centrally, ensure Giant Bombs cover pet-assisted Queen approach corridors, and keep all three Infernos on single mode to eliminate hero-based attacks before the Town Hall is threatened.

Countering Pet-Boosted Queen Charges

Lassi allows the Archer Queen to jump walls, making shallow compartment designs ineffective. Counter with Giant Bomb clusters placed on Lassi approach corridors -- the small compartment gaps where a wall-jumping Queen re-enters the base. Single-mode Infernos adjacent to the Town Hall lock onto the Queen immediately upon entry, often eliminating her before her ability activates. A centrally placed Clan Castle deploys troops on the Queen before she clears the second ring.

Inferno and Scattershot Synergy

Three single-mode Infernos and two Scattershots represent the five highest-DPS defenses at TH14. Position them so no approach corridor avoids all five: two Infernos covering horizontal approach, one covering vertical, and Scattershots on opposite 45-degree angles. This creates overlapping kill zones that can end a Super Witch Blizzard before the Town Hall compartment is breached.

Clan Castle Deployment Zone

A centrally placed Clan Castle deploys troops on the largest concentration of attacking troops. Request Inferno Dragon or Super Witch for your CC -- they deploy into the core of Super Witch Blizzard stacks and create immediate chaos, forcing attackers to burn Freeze Spells earlier than planned.
