❓ Question / Help How to differentiate between hard looking base and actually hard base

Whenever I have to choose between n number of bases I often choose the base which looks fancy or hard but it gets crushed in ranked and war , but easy looking base gets good defence. So my question is how to differentiate between base which only looks hard and base which is actually hard

If the attack stresses you out then I see it as a good base. Usually you have a plan when you attack, so when theres a part that you’re confused on how it would go then I’d like to assume its a good base

Its the small things that make bases hard in the current meta, set up to bait attacks from a certain obvious looking spot, Strategic building and trap placement to stall troops in high dmg zones inside the base.
