The best TH15 base layout for 2026. Monolith anchoring the core defense, Scattershot cross-fire, and deep compartments create the ideal all-around base for war, farming, and Legend League.
The Monolith defines TH15 all-around base design. Its percentage-based damage is universally effective -- it kills high-HP Dragon Riders attacking in war, Queen Walk attackers targeting DE in farming, and trophy-defense GoWitch pushes with equal efficiency. A best-overall TH15 base places the Monolith as the core anchor and builds every other defense around maximizing approaches that pass through it.
Place the Monolith one ring outside the Town Hall, in the compartment any attacker must pass through to reach the TH. In war, Dragon Rider attacks and Root Rider hybrid attacks both surface into Monolith fire. In farming, Queen Walk attackers pushing for Dark Elixir must pass through the Monolith compartment on the way to the DE core. In trophy defense, any attacker going for the TH second star encounters the Monolith as the gatekeeper. One placement serves every mode identically.
Both Scattershots in flanking positions on either side of the Monolith approach corridor punish any attack that attempts to bypass the Monolith from the sides. A Dragon Rider detour around the Monolith hits Scattershot cross-fire. A Super Witch flanking push hits the same cross-fire. This flanking coverage means the Monolith approach is the only viable corridor in the base -- all other approaches face Scattershot fire that pushes attackers back into Monolith range.
Gold and Elixir Storages in the second ring, Dark Elixir adjacent to the Monolith in the third ring. This placement forces farming attackers to pass through the Monolith to reach DE -- the highest-value resource. Trophy attackers seeking the TH star face the same Monolith gate. Trap coverage around the Monolith compartment (Giant Bombs for Root Riders, Skeleton Traps for Super Witch Skeletons) adds interception capacity that benefits all three modes.

Why is the Monolith the best anchor for a TH15 all-around base?
Percentage damage is universally effective in every game mode. It kills Dragon Rider war attacks, Queen Walk farming raids, and GoWitch trophy attacks with equal efficiency from the same core position.
Where should Dark Elixir go relative to the Monolith in an overall TH15 base?
Adjacent to the Monolith in the third compartment ring. Farming attackers pushing for DE must pass through the Monolith -- the same gate that protects the TH war star.
How do Scattershots complement the Monolith in an overall TH15 base?
Flanking Scattershots punish attempts to bypass the Monolith from the sides. All bypass approaches hit Scattershot fire that pushes attackers back into the Monolith range -- making the Monolith corridor unavoidable.
Is a TH15 overall base competitive in lower-range Legend League?
Yes at 5,000 to 5,300 trophies. The Monolith plus Scattershot combination holds trophies at that range while remaining competitive in war and protecting resources in farming.
