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 (Pro)
NEW
The PRO Bases are exclsuive for our Patreon Supporters for the first 30 days. Gain an advantage by supporting us on Patreon to use this base before it will be become free and popular and players start developing strategies against it..
Base Description:In the 1st Stage we have a more complicated, asymmetrical layout with open compartments that will make it really hard to for the attacker to predict the troops behaviour - and since you will for the most parts deal with mediocre spamming attackers that are either Builder Hall 8 as well or rushed BH9, they will simply feed their troops in and at this part you only want to eat away as many of their troops as possible. In Stage 2, you have a simple but also challenging setup with the open Builder Hall that is guarded really well and hard compartments around that are hard to crack and normally the attacker will run out of power at this point.
FREE Bases
After 30 days the PRO Bases will become public and you can use them. Please mind, the bases get popular quite quickly so people start developing strategies against it. If you support us on Patreon you can use the bases 30 days without minding them getting burned.
BH8 Base (08/2024)
BH8 Base for 08/2024 - Both base compartments are designed with two clear intentions, dealing with regular Builder Hall 8 attacks but also withstanding BH9 approaches as they become also quite normal to deal with, espcially if you are mre on the maxed end of the base. There are severa attacking strategies that come into play here so running a layout like this that can defend well against all is more key than lopsiding it against certain strategies that the attacker can switch right away to then potentially 3-Star your base..
BH8 Base (06/2024)
Both Stages of this new Builder Hall 8 base deal not just with frequent attacking strategies well where mediocre attackers can get value from low-skill attacks, it also deals with rushed BH9 attacking your base, using state-of-the-art defensive features that will help you rank higher..
BH8 Base (04/2024)
BH8 Base for 04/2024 - With two different core concepts, both stages make sure to disrupt attacking troop pathing and give the attacker a hard time balancing the troops to use out. Also, one important thing here is that this base layout is also designed with the fact that you have to deal with Builder Hall 9 attacks once in a while as BH8..
BH8 Base (03/2024)
BH8 Base for 03/2024 - Stage 1 of this BUilder Hall 8 base has great funneling with quite some strength but not too unbalanced with Stage 2 still having enough buzz to give the attacker a hard time balancing out the troops to use with very different core designs that will defend really well..
BH8 Base (02/2024)
Both compartments have similar strength although one is more open than the others while both use structure design to mess with the pathways of attacking troops and use the trap position strategically to gain a ton of value on decimating the attacking troops, even if the attacker is a higher Builder Hall..
BH8 Base (01/2024)
BH8 Base for 01/2024 - Similar strength in abse compartments to deal with the attacks you face frequently at Builder Hall 8 make this base work well and as long as you can do constant attacks yourself, this base will have your back.
BH8 Base (12/2023)
BH8 Base for 12/2023 - Both base compartments are designed with two clear intentions, dealing with regular Builder Hall 8 attacks but also withstanding BH9 approaches as they become also quite normal to deal with, espcially if you are mre on the maxed end of the base. There are severa attacking strategies that come into play here so running a layout like this that can defend well against all is more key than lopsiding it against certain strategies that the attacker can switch right away to then potentially 3-Star your base..
BH8 Base (11/2023)
There was not huge meta shift recently but smaller things changed in the way attackers act at Builder Hall 8 so I adjusted the base and here is your brand new one..
BH8 Base (10/2023)
BH8 Base for 10/2023 - Defend against the common attacking strategies that give you a hard time with this new base that I designed from scratch..
BH8 Base (09/2023)
BH8 Base for 09/2023 - Cannon Car + Baby Dragon give you a hard time? THis new startegy is nasty to deal with and I designed this base to stop it as well as possible..
BH8 Base (08/2023)
BH8 Base for 08/2023 - This base deals with the new versions of attacks that have emerged after release and will be able to defend as well as possible..
BH8 Base (07/2023)
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).
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..
BH8 Base (MAY 2023 v2)
BH8 Base for 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.
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).
BH8 Base (May 2023)
BH8 Base for May 2023 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! .
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..
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..
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..
BH8 Base (JAN 2023)
BH8 Base for 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....
BH8 Base (DEC 2022)
BH8 Base for DEC 2022 - ATTENTION! This base is for the OLD Builder Base and after the update useless! .
BH8 Base (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..
BH8 Base (OCT 2022)
BH8 Base for 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..
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)..
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..
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! 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..
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..
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..
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 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..
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..
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..
