This base has the main structure of a diamond base but with smaller compartments around that help a lot by distracting troops as well as dragging them into the traps and splash defenses and will give you great protection against the attacking setups you see at Builder Hall 5.

A modified version of a base style we see more and more for BH5 as it counters standard attacks quite effectively. Two open entry points along with the open dead ends in the perimeter that will get attacking troops stuck and I can tell you that most attackers will have problems dealing with this base at Builder Hall 5.

Large open core with double-layered walls will give the attacker a hard time funneling troops right and once entered the core there’s no way to give any additional orders. This works great against most attackers since they do deploy their troops without thinking much or adapting at all, especially at Builder Hall 5.

I really like the open core section style bases right now as they seem to be capable to deal with the current meta attacking strategies at Builder Hall 5 quite well. I enhanced it with some double-layered walls to make funneling even more difficult for the attacker.

Intercepting the perimeter with wall segments is working really well for confusing the attacking troop’s AI and protecting the inner of your base a lot more effectively than a plain perimeter. Otherwise, this BH5 base has all the defensive features you can expect to defend well against the popular strategies you see these days.

Yes, this base is the evolution of a base that worked extremely effectively in July and tweaking the traps and perimeter design as well as some other things made this base super effective again and a hard thing to beat with most BH5 attacks that I tested it with, really worth using.

Super open base design but really effective because it forces attacking troops to take the paths you created here and where the traps will beat the attacker. You might recall this layout from a previous one a couple weeks ago, but it got tweaked well so it will back you up well for your attacks.

This split-style base is really effective at BH5 as the attacker has to break through the outline the right way, otherwise he will get the Builder Hall and even struggle to get the 50%. Many attackers fail here, giving you a really solid base that will help you defend the victory.

This flower-shaped BH5 uses a technique that works really well, although symmetric bases aren’t that popular these days anymore. You have the cores that stand out, forcing the attacker to clear it all wide will breaking walls will become nasty. With all the strong defenses in the core the troops will be under fire all the time.

This split-compartment defensive style is working really great recently at BH5 as you force the attacker to burn troops to get to the core but eventually fail getting the Builder Hall or getting the Builder Hall and losing so many troops from the frontside attack that he won’t get the 2-Star due to percentage.

This base layout doesn’t look like much but will tackle the attacker harder than he thinks. He will need to fight brute force through all the defenses and traps at once so you can play all the defensive power at once with very little space for the attacker to do anything but watch the attack. Works really well against attacker unless they are a lot higher than you. Give it a try, you won#t regret using this base!

The ring base approach is getting more and more viable and also at BH5 you can now use it for defending your base. The attacker will have a hard time building a proper funnel and getting the Builder Hall, and so many will fail that it makes it a lot easier winning Versus Battles.

This kind of extra-core layouts that have been evolving recently in the higher Builder Hall levels can also work at BH5, with this base. This makes it hard for the attacker because they need to clear the perimeter and with the grouped up troops your defenses and traps will have an easier job to take them out.

This is a fresh approach with a center cross-section around the Builder Hall and open spots for the traps that will get the attacking troops without mercy. The pathing is really annoying for the attacker and the perimeter will group attacking troops together so you will get maximum value from splash defenses and also the traps.

This BH5 base worked really well for me recently with the smaller compartments and the offset Builder Hall, giving the Mortar the biggest protection within the base.

We’ve seen base styles like this frequently in higher Builder Hall levels but it now starts to find glory at BH5 as well. The basic concept is to have all defenses in the center in a large core with a perimeter around to group troops for the splash defenses. In the inside, the attacker has zero chance to do anything but watch how the troops trigger traps and get full DPS from all defenses.

This diamond-style base uses multiple compartments to protect the backside of the base, forcing the attacker to choose to either go all-in from the front and straight into the Crusher or from the backside where troops will have a hard time finding a straight part towards the Builder Hall. Worked really well in my tests.

This week I wanted a more compact base for BH5 that also separates the Builder Hall from the rest of the base. The ring has multiple smaller compartments to mess with troop AI and also make it harder for the attacker to get the troops into the core area of this base.

I had a similar layout lately in the higher Builder Hall levels and wanted to modify it to test if it will also work at BH5 – and it does. In fact, it worked so well that I want to share this layout with you here as no other BH5 attacker was able to 3-Star this base.

This BH5 base here uses a different approach compared to what you normally see at Builder Hall 5 with lots of smaller compartments. You have the outside perimeter that requires a bunch of troops to actually funnel and then slow down attacking troops by the walls. This worked really well when I used this base lately.

I know this kind of base layout dominate the defending meta at BH5 for a long time but the reason is that it’s simply that effective in eating away troops for building the funnel and forcing the attacker to play it really well to have a decent chance for the higher percentage 2-Star. I tested this base and it really worked well unless the attacker was a lot higher Builder Hall, but there’s no BH5 base in the world that can save you from that… Really enjoyed this one here.

This base here features a nice outside perimeter that is designed to distract ground troops from getting into the core, giving Bombers a bad time and ultimately eating time from the clock while attacking troops suffer more damage before they are able to get inside. On the inside, there’s a Crusher waiting for them to make it even more complicated to go for the 2-Star.

We’ve seen such layouts at Builder Hall 5 a lot and that’s because they are so effective against most players that, for whatever reason, not seem to be able to find a way to break them efficiently. You have basically two bulkheads on the frontside and the backside of the base that takes time to break through and by the time these sections got cleared, the attacker normally lost that many troops that he won#t be able to get the Builder Hall anymore.

Diamond base? Lame? Well, not the most creative defesive approach at BH5, I admit. But the results are good because so many attackers at this Builder Hall level simply spam their troops in and hope for the best – and in this case the best is a 1-Star, nothing more. The outside perimeters keep the troops off your core long enough to get most troops down and the Battle Machine won’t be able to get far enough into the base to get the Builder hall because of the Crusher and the leftover defenses.

Front open bases like this are getting more and more popular at BH5 for the reason that it’s really hard to break into the base. The attacker needs to deal with a load of buildings and defenses on the frontside and then needs to get through the Crusher while basically all defenses will let their damage rain on the troops to get the 2-Star. Attacking from the backside makes it easier to get the Builder Hall but normally lacks in percentage to reach the 2-Star.

This BH5 base here has a really interesting approach to deal with attackers with open sides that will give the attacker a hard time to think which one will work best. The back entrance looks easiest but wll funnel troops to the outsides, the fron entrance with the Crusher is not really attractive and the corner open wall section is really nasty to funnel. Overall, most attackers failed against this base miserably.

This base here uses a more practical approach which is basically letting all defensive power rain down on the attacker so it’s an all-in attack that invites the attacker to spam but will end in troops going to the sides and failing on the DPS your defenses have.

This is the Builder Hall 5 version of a layout structure that became more and more popular because working really effective and consists of wall paths leading towards the Builder Hall but using the poor AI to soak troops into the Crusher and the Spring Traps there and not let them directly attack the Builder Hall.

Along with the outside compartments that make it also hard to funnel all troops into the core area and a well-covered area by all defenses make this base absolutely worth using.

I really liked that base layout that is different from what you normally see and tested it with good results. The problem with the diamond base styles is that people start to know how they can beat it and an unusual layout always challenges them on another level. Here you have the Builder Hall in the middle but two sections on the sides.

The Crusher protects one entry point and the trash buildings always funnel troops away from the straight path towards the Builder Hall and there’s no chance to avoid the traps in there. Results have been pretty well with this Builder Hall 5 base.

Here’s a Builder Hall 5 layout that did quite well recently while testing it and defended effectively against ground attacks with Archers and Barbarians and also Baby Dragons.

The Builder Hall is in the center and for ground troops the Crusher position is really nasty to deal with, especially with the traps around it that makes it really frustrating to even deploy troops in waves into it correctly. Baby Dragons had problems to get enough trash buildings to get the air defenses and lost already so much of them that they couldn’t get the Builder Hall, especially with that Crusher position.

The bottom part of this base is working great against ground troops because they get soaked into the funnel and land directly in the Crusher there.

Baby Dragon attacks can get critical at BH5 but the Air Bomb at the bottom side is pretty expensive to clear with the Elixir Storage on the side and the Firecrackers are loaded on the other side so even there you have plenty of defensive power against Baby Dragons.

I used this base here for quite some time now and found it to hold up well against most attacking strategies, unless the attcker has a higher Builder Hall, but in that case no base layout in the world can save you the victory… Builder Hall 5 can be brutal sometimes and the best you can do is to focus on the battles that are in your hand and try to not get demotivated too much when a BH6 attacks you and crushes your base, you simply lack of the defenses to defend that.

Builder Hall 5 Base – January 2020

best bh5 base january 2020

This BH5 base s a diamond base (don’t roll your eyes, these bases are so common because they simply work best at Builder Hall 5…), so you have an open-sided core area covered by two lines of walls.

This layout works nicely because you give the attacker a hard time to funnel troops to the core. and control where they will hit the traps. Most of the time you will deal with Giants combined with Archers/Barbarians and occasional Minions, a mix of Barbarians and Archers without Giants or the classical mass Barbarians or mass Archer attacks.

Let’s start taking a closer look at attacks featuring Giants. The nice thing here is that the attacker will either come from the side or the top with their Giants, sending them into the immediate death at the Crusher with the Spring Traps. Attacking from the bottom is only possible with Bombers, otherwise, the Giants will ignore the walls completely with the double-layer and also run towards the sides.
But using Bomber will reveal one problem for the attacker (if he’s BH5 as well) – he is missing forces to crush the core area towards the Builder Hall with all the Cannons, Archer Towers etc. and chances are good that he will run out of troops before he can reach the Builder Hall.

So attacking without Giants… Still a similar problem. Attacking from the top is plain too risky and will often fail dramatically for the attacker so he needs to open up the bottom of the base with Bomber to send in his Barbarians. The problem here is that he also needs to clear the Clock Tower and Star Laboratory (costs at least 10 Barbarians) to send troops into the center of the base. The problem here is that this won’t be enough to get the Builder Hall and percentage for the 2-Star so some troops have to clear on the sides as well leaving this a pretty risky move for the attacker to take.

Last but not least the Baby Dragon attacks that are pretty strong against Builder Hall 5 bases. Haven’t seen that much but when they attack they try to avoid the Air Bombs at the top and approach either from the side or the bottom. Both options aren’t that well as the sides will make them run into the Air Bombs pretty soon and this will cost them too many Baby Dragons. Attacking from the bottom will send the Baby Dragons into the Firecrackers all the time so they barely make it to the Builder Hall. The attacker’s only option is to try getting the Builder Hall with the Battle Machine but most of the there’s not enough trash destroyed so the Battle Machine will get soaked into the Crusher while getting hit by the Archer Towers.
