Versus Battles with your Builder Hall in Clash of Clans don’t just require a good and solid attacking strategy, you also need a base that covers your back – your victory is not only dependent on how many stars and percentage points you can get in your attack, it has to be more than your opponent will score against your base at the same time.
If you look for a fresh and well-working base layout for your Builder Hall 8 base you’re in the perfect place.
I do frequently test, build and review base layouts for Builder Hall 8 and give them here ready for you so you can directly copy them without testing or building them yourself.
I really hate those sites or videos showing you dozens of bases they copied somewhere without making any deeper explanation why they work so for this reason you will only find bases here that I have tested myself.
Bases here are updated monthly so check back here to get the latest base layouts

BH8 Base (AUG 2023)This base deals with the new versions of attacks that have emerged after release and will be able to defend as well as possible.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base- BH8 Base (JUL 2023)BH8 Base for JUL 2023 - Now that the meta has settled this is a great base that I tested in a huge amount of battles against all the popular attacking stretegies and it works really well, espcially if you#re maxed Builder Hall 8 (or close to it)
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (JUN 2023)BH8 Base for JUN 2023 - After working through the evolving meta for the multi-stage attacks with Builder Base 2.0, this is the new and improved base layout i designed and tested a lot recently against all common attacking strategies.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (MAY 2023 v2)My first premium base for Builder Hall 8 with the release of Builder Hall 2.0 update. Please mind the meta will change quuickly right now so make sure to get the latest version on my Patreon channel
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (MAY 2023 v1)BH8 Base for MAY 2023 v1 - This is an early attempt to provide you with a solid base for the launch of the new Builder Base Multi-Stage attacking mechanics. Please mind I have a constantly-updated version on my Patreon Channel (link above in the Early Access Base)
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (May 2023)BH8 Base for May 2023 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless!
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (APR 2023)ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! Without the new Builder Base in close distance looks like we will have another month of the regular Builder Base and this is the base I have designed for you.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (MAR 2023)BH8 Base for MAR 2023 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! Looks like the new Builder Base 2.0 Update is a few more weeks down the road, so here's a fresh base for the new season.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (FEB 2023)BH8 Base for FEB 2023 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! A improved version that worked really well in my last tests.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (JAN 2023)ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! Nothing too special here, just a tweaked version of the previous base that works well. I'm really excited what changes Supercell will come up with the Builder Base rework and how this will affect basebuilding in the upcoming big update...
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (DEC 2022)BH8 Base for DEC 2022 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless!
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (NOV 2022)BH8 Base for NOV 2022 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! This ring base will help you push with your BH8 base well, defending great against all common attacking strategies that you will see coming up.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (OCT 2022)ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! The general layout of this BH8 base might look odd but it's technically a ring base that works well. against all common attacking strategies and forces the attacker to adapt and scout as this layout is nothing they will come across frequently.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (SEP 2022)BH8 Base for SEP 2022 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! With multiple layered compartments and the way troops will funnel through the base, you have a great defensive option with this base against all the popular attacking strategies at Builder Hall 8 (and the other don't really work that well anyway). Tested in many Versus Battles and works like a charm (only the Early Access base above works better).
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v2)BH8 Base for AUG 2022 v2 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! With a broad perimeter ring that will make funneling hard and a open diamond-shaped core that makes it impossible to predict traps gives this base a good edge over pretty much all BH8 attackers and hold up well enough to defend any high-percentage 2-Stars and 3-Stars for sure.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v1)ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! While testing around different open core sections, I came up with this layout and it was performing extremely well when I tested in in real situations, especially against attackers that are used to play down her attack by checklist (and at Builder Hall 8 that's like 90% of all attackers), so this base will help you defend really well.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v2)BH8 Base for AUG 2022 v2 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! I've been testing around with the open core base styles recently a lot and this was a concept that worked really well against common attacking strategies at Builder Hall 8 so I fine-tuned the trap layout to make a really strong base for you that will have your back in the next Versus Battles.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v1)BH8 Base for AUG 2022 v1 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! This base looks similar to the one we had early in June, and it's right that I took it as a foundation and redesigned some sections, as well as the entry points, to fine-tune the trap setup and some defense coverage to deal effectively with the common attacking setups at Builder Hall 8.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v2)ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! With multiple core departments, the attacker will have a tough time clearing later and already building the funnel into the base will be quite some nightmare as there's almost no way to open the walls effectively without investing a lot of time and troops at that early stage. Especially when the attacker uses the popular attacking strategies at Builder Hall 8, he will not get very far against this base.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (AUG 2022 v1)BH8 Base for AUG 2022 v1 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! You see several of these bases with the open core section here recently and here's a latest tweaked version that I found to be working really well for BH8. The reason I like them right now is that they work so well against standard attacks which makes like 9 out of 10 attacks at Builder Hall 8 right now.
Copy Base LinkPreview Base - BH8 Base (MAY 2022)BH8 Base for MAY 2022 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! You saw these kinds of bases for BH8 here frequently and the reason is they simply work really well and this is my most recent approach that I found to be really effective in many Versus Battles I tested it in.

Builder Hall 8 Base – May 9th, 2022
Attention!

With this base I combined the elements of the open center with a diamond/ring perimeter with small closed compartments that makes it really tough for the attacker to build a proper path towards the core, especially with the common attacking strategies used at Builder Hall 8.

Inspired by the trophy base arrangement you see frequently in the Home Village, this Builder Hall 8 base here uses the perimeter design that is really effective in messing with pathing and in Versus Battles it’s more effective as building a correct funnel is even more complicated and this makes this base really effective.

A very different base style here and you might recall the open bases being very effective at Builder Hall 8 in the past. This approach here from combines the open sections at the core with the rings around so it’s different and has some more surprises for the attacker that makes it really effective.

This BH8 base is a hybrid between a ring base and an open core base with funneling into the Crushers to prevent late attack 2-Stars. The perimeter and the rings will effectively funneling and group troops and drag them into the splash defenses and traps and there’s only little the attacker is able to do about it, especially with the standard attacking strategies you see a lot. Place it in the edge of the map to limit the possibility to start the attack as well.

This design with the offset Builder Hall and the smaller compartments plus the perimeter setup will be hard to crack with the popular attacking strategies that you see a Lot at BH8 today and be a great backup for your Versus Battles.
Builder Hall 8 Base – February 28th, 2022
Attention!

This base with the open sections makes it really hard for the attacker to plan attacks and funneling troops into the very core of the base or to avoid/predict the traps. Worked really efficiently and if you’re decently upgraded Builder Hall 8 you, this base will have your back.
Builder Hall 8 Base – February 14th, 2022

Some modifications on the previous base with improved pathing, and trap setup and you have this version here that worked even better in my tests and was very reliable, even if you don’t have a maxed Builder Hall 8 base yet.
Builder Hall 8 Base – January 31st, 2022
Attention!

I experimented with the entry points of the base a lot and this one here did really well against common Builder Hall 8 attacks and will have your back in many Versus Battles for sure.
Builder Hall 8 Base – January 17th, 2022
Attention!

This base kind of merges ring base with diamond base and puts additional open compartments to it. This will be a nightmare for ground troops to deal with as funneling will really not be any easy here. Also air attacks will not have an easy time against this base with the way the defenses and traps are arranged so no worries, this base has your back against any Builder Hall 8 attacker.

Those ring bases with the perimeter structure are still swapping over from BH9 to BH8 and take over the meta more and more and I doubt this is going to change unless Supercell will do anything to the Builder Base in the future (which I doubt). Anyway, this base uses the defensive techniques that work against most attacks if you’re at least decently upgraded in terms of defenses with your Builder Hall 8 Base nor getting hit by a higher-level attacker.
