New Craft Defense Bases: Lava Launcher, Roaster & Air Bombs (Quick Intro)

We thought this update would be chill. It wasn’t.

The Lava Launcher, Roaster, and Air Bombs didn’t just join the game… they changed how bases actually defend. One wrong placement and your base starts acting like it’s helping the attacker.

If you want the full breakdown (stats, mechanics, all the nerdy stuff), check the New Craft Defenses Season 3 blog.
Here, we’re keeping it simple. What works. What doesn’t.

We tested a bunch of layouts. Some looked smart. Played dumb. Got rolled.

The ones we’re sharing?
They actually held up.

Each base uses the Lava Launcher, Roaster, and Air Bombs properly. Not random placements. Not “let’s just try this here.”

Pick one. Or switch between them when you get bored or start getting tripled.

• Base Link #1 - Base Link #2 - Base Link #3 - Base Link #4 - Base Link #5
• Base Link #6 - Base Link #7 -  Base Link #8 - Base Link #9 - Base Link #10

Problem With New Craft Defense Bases (Why Most Bases Fail Right Now)

Here’s where most people mess up. They treat these like normal defenses.

They’re not.

Using the wrong craft defense setup can completely flip your base.
Like… you go from “this looks solid” to “why is everything gone in 40 seconds?”

We’ve seen it happen way too often.

Because:

• Wrong defense choice breaks pathing

• Bad placement gives free value

• And suddenly attackers don’t even need to think

At the same time, attackers haven’t fully figured these defenses out yet.

Which makes this even worse (or better… depending on which side you’re on).

So yeah… random placement isn’t it.

What actually works is using these defenses the right way. Together. With intent.

That’s exactly what the Blueprint builders focused on.

They tested these new defenses properly and figured out:

• Where each one performs best

• How to combine them without messing up coverage

• How to force attackers into bad decisions

That’s why the Craft Defense Pack comes with 3 variants.

You can:

• Pick the setup you like

• Rotate between them

• Or just use all 3 and stay unpredictable

Right now, attackers are still figuring this out.

Which means you’ve got a small window where these defenses feel broken.

Might as well use that.

Copy the bases. Try them out.
And let the attackers be the confused ones for once.
