Traps & Defense

Traps sit on your Wall and damage attacking troops by type. They’re a major part of defense — but only if you build the right ones for your server.

Trap counters

Trap	Counters
Spikes	Bikers
Bombs	Hitmen
Grenades	Bruisers

Build for your server, not a generic ratio

The single most common trap mistake is building an even spread. Instead:

1. Check what attacks you — review your battle reports / server’s dominant troop type.
2. Weight traps toward the counter for that type.
3. Re-evaluate as the server meta shifts (new dominant comps appear over time).

A wall of Grenades does nothing against a server full of Bikers. Match the threat.

Make traps actually hit

• Trap-buff enforcers must be stationed on the wall to boost trap strength — see Wall Defense.
• Wall level 25 → +10% Trap ATK.
• Research Defenses nodes in the Investment Center to raise trap damage and wall durability.
• Keep traps continuously assembling — they’re consumed in defense and need replenishing.
