Optimal Placement Strategy

Best Positions

• Chokepoints: Narrow passages leading to your base
• Resource protection: Near high-value buildings
• Entry paths: Natural enemy approach routes
• Behind walls: Protected but effective positioning

Avoid These Locations

• Open areas: Easy to avoid or destroy
• Isolated spots: Away from main attack paths
• Predictable patterns: Easy to counter
• Too close together: Wasted overlapping coverage

Pro Tip: Place bear traps in locations where enemies must pass through to reach your most valuable buildings, forcing them to take damage regardless of their approach.

Upgrade Priority System

Upgrade Order (Priority)

Level 1-5

Focus on quantity

Level 6-10

Upgrade strategically

Level 11-15

Focus on key positions

Level 16+

Maximum effectiveness

Early Game (Levels 1-10)

• Build as many traps as possible
• Focus on covering main approaches
• Don't worry about perfect placement yet
• Upgrade evenly across all traps

Late Game (Levels 11+)

• Optimize placement for maximum coverage
• Focus upgrades on most effective positions
• Consider enemy attack patterns
• Coordinate with alliance strategies

Advanced Tactical Combinations

Wall + Trap Combo

Place traps behind walls to force enemies to destroy walls first, giving traps time to activate.

Effectiveness: High

Funnel Strategy

Create artificial chokepoints using buildings to force enemies through trap zones.

Effectiveness: Medium

Bait & Switch

Place valuable buildings near traps to lure enemies into trap zones.

Effectiveness: Very High

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Predictable Patterns

Placing traps in obvious geometric patterns makes them easy to avoid or systematically destroy.

Clustering Traps

Grouping too many traps together wastes their potential and creates dead zones in your defense.

Ignoring Maintenance

Failing to rebuild destroyed traps after attacks leaves your base vulnerable.

Wrong Priorities

Focusing only on trap upgrades while neglecting other defensive buildings.
