TH6 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

Town Hall 6 War Base Layouts

If you want to really help your clan in Clan Wars, you need to make first attackers fail on your base – and with the second Air Defense and a good layout you can easily do that. Many still use mass Dragon attacking and you can use this to our advantage.

PS: If you#re looking for a cheap and solid way to 3 Star other Town Hall 6 bases look at this guide:

Town Hall 6 War Base with 2 Air Defenses

This TH6 base works great against the most popular things that could happen to you – Hog Rider, Giants or Dragons. The ground troops will be held inside the outside ring and it will be hard for them to get to the core.

Anti-Dragon TH6 War Base Design

The worst thing that could happen for an attacker with Dragons and Giants. This Town Hall 6 Base has so many intersections and also makes it hard to funnel Dragons into the core.

Anti 3 Star Town Hall 6 War Base Layout

This base also has centralized Air Defenses, a Clan Castle in the core and a nice funnel on the outside against ground troops. It also won’t be easy to get to your Town Hall because Wall Breakers can’t open the whole base in one intersection.

Town Hall 6 Farming Base Layouts

When you’re farming resources at Town Hall 6 you also need to protect it – so you need a base that will protect your Storages and also your Town Hall in the best possible way. Keep in mind that your Town Hall also holds a good amount of your resources so it’s actually worth even more than a single Storage.

Here are 3 base layouts that will help you with that.

Gold Protection Town Hall 6 Farming Base

This base focus on protecting your Gold (or Elixir if you switch the Storages around). The Mortars in the core will also attack troops that try to snipe over Walls.

Best TH6 Farming Base Layout

This TH6 Farming Base protects your Town Hall in the best way and also has the Storages far away from the outside so it’s hard to snipe them from the outside. Many say you should centralize your Clan Castle (which is actually right), but with the big range, it can be pulled from anywhere anyway. Many attackers will try to enter from the south to go for the Town Hall and see a bad surprise with the traps.

TH6 Farming Ring Base

This base features 3 rings, the outside with unnecessary buildings, the outside ring with splash defenses and the Collectors & Mines and the core with all important Storages and your Town Hall. A good way to defend your loot.

TH7 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

Town Hall 7 War Base Layouts
With the 3rd Air Defense we got in the March Update, you now have a better chance against Dragon attacks. Here are some base layouts that work well against Dragons, but also against Hog Riders.

Anti Dragon TH7 War Base

The first TH7 War Base Layout is designed specifically against Dragon attacks with the Air Defenses in the core and an outside ring that will make the Dragons go around, instead of entering the base, if the attacker can’t funnel Dragons (which most simply can’t).

Anti Hog Rider Town Hall 7 War Base

The second TH7 War Base Design is solid against Dragons and also Hog Riders. The layout of the defenses are designed to lure the Hogs around the base instead of entering the core, and there’s also Giant Bomb with Hidden Bombs setup that might kill a squad of Hogs if the attacker isn’t careful with his Healing Spells. Dragons will simply be shot down from the core with the Air Defenses and there is no way to take them out in advance.

This is my favorite layout here because many attackers are not capable of adapting to southern teaser bases as a Town Hall 7.

Anti Giants TH7 War Base Anti 3 Star

The third TH7 War Base Layout uses nice funneling against Giant attacks, which has become more and more popular these days. Many think they can go for the Town Hall fast and easy by attacking from the right side, but they will be surprised to see their troops go off to the north and south.

Town Hall 7 Farming Base Layouts
Farming Base layouts with inside Town Halls are not easy to create at Town Hall 7 because you’re missing some walls to put all the Storages inside the intersections. The important thing is to spread the Storages so attackers can’t go for them specifically. This minimizes the risk that an attacker can take all loot without getting 3 Stars on your base. Here are some layouts I recommend.

Town Hall 7 Farming Base

The first TH7 Farm Base Layout uses the funnel on the outside to force attackers into traps. There is no easy way to access the storages, so a farmer will not get more than two, if not less than that. Most of the farmers you see in this region will only snipe your Mines and Collectors on the outside.

Hybrid Farming Base for Town Hall 7 

The second TH7 Farming Base Design works with more intersections, but you can also see that there is only one Storage on each side in each compartment, and there is enough splash damage next to it to protect it from a Goblin rush.

TH7 Farming Base for Dark Elixir Protection

The third TH7 Farming Base Layout is perfectly protecting your Dark Elixir Storage, in case you focus on saving Dark Elixir right now. The other Storages are easier to reach to distract attackers from your precious Dark Elixir.

TH8 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

Town Hall 8 War Base Layouts
In Clan War it’s pretty popular that a higher Town Hall Level will attack your base. Of course this is sometimes frustrating, but this only happens if another Town Hall 8 player is not able to 3 Star your base – with these base designs you will give them a headache.

Anti-Dragon TH8 War Base Layout

This Town Hall 8 War Base Design is meant to defend against Dragon attacks. Somehow these attacks are still quite popular.With the centralized Air Defenses and the layout making it hard to funnel Dragons directly into the core you will not see any 3 Star with Dragon attacks on this base.

Best Town Hall 8 Anti-Hog Rider War Base GoHo / GoVaHo / GoVaBo

This is a great layout to use against Hog Riders. You have strong Trap setups along with the Bomb Tower that are not predictable – the attacker will only see 4 possible positions and all of them are pretty hostile against Hog Riders. More and more attackers use mass Hog Riders and this base will not get 3-Stared with Hog Riders. This base is my recommendation.

Anti 3 Star Allrounder War Base Layout TH8

This War Base tries to work against multiple attacking setups – you have the Trap setups working well against Hog Riders, the centralized Air Defenses and general setup being good against Dragons and also lots of Spring Traps against Giant/Healer attacks. All the Traps are more inside so they can’t be triggered easily from the outside.

Town Hall 8 Clan War Base

This base works with an isolated core pretty good against most attacks. The attacking replays I’ve seen show that many attackers fail to get the Town Hall because the troops would rather go around it. A good way to save you the last Star.

Town Hall 8 Farming Base Layouts

Saving resources while farming at Town Hall 8 can be hard. Here are some base layouts I recommend for you, depending what you want to do. I have one hardcore Dark Elixir farming layout and two allrounder layouts to protect all resources (as well as possible).

The important thing is to spread the Storages so attackers can’t go for them specifically. This minimizes the risk that an attacker can take all loot without getting 3 Stars on your base.

Dark Elixir Protection TH8 Farming Base

This TH8 Farming Base is designed to help you save Dark Elixir. The Dark Elixir is so safe in the core that it’s impossible to get it without hitting your base very hard – something I don’t see happening at Town Hall 8 because there are much easier targets for an attacker The semi-exposed Town Hall will grant some Dark Elixir for the attacker and most of them will go for that to get the League Bonus, but also will give you a shield. Please note that this base is only if you want to save and farm Dark Elixir exclusively. If you also want to save other resources you might want to use one of the next Town Hall 8 farming bases.

Hybrid Town Hall 8 Farming Base

You’d be surprised how many fail for this base and not even get a single Star. If you’re protecting all your resources, you also have to protect your Town Hall. It’s worth 1 Gold Storage, 1 Elixir Storage and also 20% of your Dark Elixir available. The Storages on the outside are protected by splash damage, despite the fact that they look a little bit too exposed for a farming base. There is no way to snipe them easily.

Funneling TH8 Farming Base Layout

This is also a classic hybrid farming base layout. The core protects the Dark Elixir and your Town Hall, while the Storages are in the funnels on the outside. There is no way to get easy access to them and if someone goes for them you will not lose more than two, but you will get your shield.

TH9 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

Town Hall 9 War Base Layouts With Bomb Tower
If you’re Town Hall 9 and you’re going to war you often see higher Town Halls hitting your base – that’s why a certain kind of Anti 3-Star approach started evolving in the past month. In this approach, you take the fact that your Town Hall gets taken, but you want to use a base design that will make it very hard to destroy all of the base. Here are 3 bases that work very good for that.

Dead Zone TH9 War Base Layout

The first Town Hall 9 War Base Layout I’d like to show you is a classic dead zone base. If you would like to learn more about dead zone bases you might want to check out this guide I wrote some weeks ago: This TH9 Dead Zone Base works great against Hog Rider based attack, including GoHo or GoVaHo. I only see very skilled players beat this base properly, but most of the time attackers fail big time.

Anti 3 Star TH9 War Base

The second TH9 War Base Layout is without a dead zone, but it attracts attackers with the almost exposed (semi-exposed) Town Hall. Getting 1 Star is pretty easy, but 1 Star is not winning Clan Wars. The double Giant Bombs are great against Hot Riders and many attackers will have a hard time triggering them without investing their entire army.I’ve not seen this base getting 3 Star attacked so far (air or ground attacks).

Town Hall 9 War Base

The third TH9 War Base uses a centralized Town Hall. The attacker will have the hard choice of either going in from the north side, probably with Earthquake Spells to get the Town Hall, but no chance getting 3 Stars; or from the bottom and get max 2 Stars, but usually not the Town Hall. The compartments block the troops and funnel them away from the core. Here are also some more Clan War Base Layouts, in case you want some more hardcore bases.

Town Hall 9 Farming Base Layouts With Bomb Tower You always have to choose what you want to protect in your farming base, so I selected some different layouts. Two of them for protecting all your resources with the same priority and a farming base with very strong Dark Elixir protection. You always have to spread your Storages equally around the base to make it hard for attackers to focus on a certain resource.

TH9 Farming Base with equal Resource Protection

This first TH9 Farming Base Layout tries to protect all resources. The Storages are separated and, although they seem easy to reach, they are always within the second line of defenses. You can also see there is protection against Wall Breakers on all intersections where attackers will try to access your base.

Gold and Dark Elixir Protection TH9 Farming Base

This second Town Hall 9 Farming Base features an outside ring and protects the core with a double layer of Walls. You can also see that the Storages are protected with all splash damage forces available, especially against attackers who like to try sniping with cheap troops.

Hardcore Dark Elixir protecting TH9 Farming Base

If you’re in urgent need of Dark Elixir and want to protect your Dark Elixir in the best possible way you might want to try this third TH9 Farming Base. There is almost no way to enter the core and go for the ark Elixir, but attacks are easy enough to grant you a shield for getting 30% destruction.

TH10 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

Town Hall 10 War Base Layouts
Going to Clan War as a Town Hall 10 is not easy. All you can do is prevent getting 3-Stared and sometimes you’re lucky and can protect a Star in a very close attack if your attacker makes mistakes. The War Bases I have here are solid enough to take advantage of mistakes and shouldn’t get 3-Stared. They also work well against mass Valkyrie attacks that are getting more and more popular.

Why is there no Resource Ring Bases?
They used to be good, but now they can get easily 3 Stared with some skill – don’t use them anymore! Here’s a good example how they can easily be beaten:

Anti 3 Star TH10 War Base Layout

This base is designed to stand up against GoVaHo attacks, which you can clearly see from the Trap setups. More classic attacking strategies will not get more than 2 Stars out of this base, with low Heroes probably only 1 Star.

Town Hall 10 War Base Design

The outside layers are designed to get some Wall Breakers – sometimes you’re lucky and can get a huge advantage when they step into the Spring Traps. In case you ask yourself where the Bomb Towers are – they are in the core under construction.

Anti-Valkyrie & Anti-Bowler TH10 War Base

This base is designed against Valkyrie style attacks – the Town Hall can be easily attacked, but then there is no way to get 3 Stars from this base – a dead end. The Bomb Tower makes this base very effective, because they will run into them sooner or later.

Town Hall 10 Farming Base Layouts
If you’re a Town Hall 10 Clasher you know how hard it can be to defend loot in your base. In Town Hall 10 you won’t be able to protect a lot of loot for a long time, so many farmers developed a strategy just to tease and give some easily to get a shield in return.

Dark Elixir Protection Farming Base Layout Town Hall 10

This first base is designed to protect Dark Elixir at all costs – don’t get confused by the kind of semi-exposed Town Hall. It’s all for a cheap shield and your Dark Elixir will be safe in the middle. However, you shouldn’t use this layout when you also want to protect your other resources.

Gold & Elixir Protecting Farming Base Design for Town Hall 10

This farming base works a little bit different – the Dark Elixir here is what most attackers will go for but leave your other resources. You can switch the Storages around, depending what you’re farming at the time. The Bomb Tower are under construction in the middle way funnel.

Allround TH10 Farming Base Layout

This last TH10 Farming Base Layout tries to be an all round farming base, protecting all your loot with the same priority.You can expect to lose one or another Storage, but not more than half of the available loot you have.

TH11 War Base & Farming Base Layouts

TH11 Anti 3-Star Base Layout 
This base works in the solid way that attacker are forced to attack from one side – the sire of the Eagle Artillery – otherwise the Eagle Artillery will shoot at troops the whole time and add some proper damage. Unfortunately for the attacker the side of the Eagle Artillery is quite bad to attack and they will have to deal with the Archer Queen on the other side when their troops are weaker anyway.

Anti-Valkyrie TH11 War Base Design
This base works great against attacking with Golems and also Valkyries.
Double Bombs have become unnecessary over the past years at TH10+ and that’s why Valkyries can be very effective against bases. This base will take them down clean and fast before they can reach the core.

Town Hall 11 War Base Layout Anti Miner, Anti Bowler, Anti Valkyries.
Attacking styles with a lot of Witches are still popular and can be a problem – but not for this TH11 base design! The Trap placements are vicious against Bowler, Valkyries and Miners, they will just run into them and the attack is failed.

Town Hall 11 Farming Base Layouts With Bomb Tower 
Farming at TH11 can be a pain. The thing is you won’t be able to protect as many Storages as possible and make it hard for attackers to get many of them – on the other side you need them to make at least 30% total destruction so you can get a shield. Here are two bases that do exactly that.

TH11 Farming Base Layout Dark Elixir 
This is my favorite Town Hall 11 Farming Base when I farm Dark Elixir.

It’s well protected and attackers only go for the full attack every couple of attacks – most of the times they just want the Town Hall or 2-3 Storages.

Town Hall 11 Hybrid Anti 2-Star Base Layout
This Farming base for TH11 is more balanced – you will see a full and hard attack on one side (as long as you stay lower than Champions II League) and lose an amount of resources you can live with.A quite balanced setup that can take you up to Titan League easily.
