Root Rider/Valk attack strategies in Clash of Clans are immensely popular, and many players are unable to defend their bases against them.

Such players will surely benefit from this defense base since it's specifically designed to protect against Root Rider/Valk attack strategies. This base has several disaggregated defense sections, with many gaps between them. This slows down the troops just enough for the defense towers to destroy them before they achieve a three-star victory.

To stop enemies from getting two stars, you must secure your Town Hall with heavy defensive elements, and that's exactly what this base does. However, it comes at the cost of exposed resource tanks.

The Town Hall is placed off-center with Inferno towers, Bomb towers, two heroes, traps, and more defenses, so enemy troops will have a tough time destroying it. If enemy troops attack from the opposite side, they will meet a barrage of traps and other defenses.

This base can fend off multiple enemy attack strategies and successfully prevent two-star victories in Clash of Clans.

This hybrid three-star Clash of Clans defense base exposes the Town Hall and the resource storage tanks to lure enemies into attacking from a specific location. If the enemy team falls for this trap, they will get two stars but never three, and that's the point of this base.

If the enemy team is clever, they will try to clear the obstacles from the bottom and attack from there. However, even then, their troops will be bombarded by the traps placed in the area.

The wall layout is also designed to lure all enemy troops into the base through the top area. This will give the defense towers on the two sides enough time to destroy them.
