The Best TH12 War Base & Trophy Base Layouts Review

Unlike many other pages (and me in the past), I don’t wanted to just post bases in an endless row that nobody could use because it’s not proven that they will work and also I don’t see the point in posting countless bases when you actually only need one for your home village and one for Clan War at Town Hall 12.

So, instead, I decided to just have two bases here, 1x War Base for TH12 and 1x Trophy Base for TH12 that I will do an in-depth review on and show you why I really like them and how they served me from using it myself.

I’m sure this is more helpful than bombing you with a lot of bases 🙂

The TH12 War Base Design

Let’s start with the base design for Clan War:

???? That’s the TH12 War Base ????

You will find the base copy link after the review on this page 🙂

Why I Think It Is The Best

I’ve been using it for several wars including Clan War Leagues and had very good experience with it. I’ve never been 3-Stared in about 20 attacks and here and there attacker only got 1-Star with less than 50% against this base.

Reason enough to use it? I guess so ????

But let’s have a closer look at the defensive capabilities…

General Layout Of The Base

This base here has several nice features that you don’t want to miss, so let’s get into them real quick.

The Town Hall is in this semi-exposed open compartment and the reason is you want to prevent at any cost that Yeti-Smash or Pekka-Smash attacks are able to funnel through the Town Hall into the rest of the base.

Also, you don’t want to have a Suicide Hero approach to run directly for the Town Hall. The wall make sure that the heroes will go around and then get distracted by other buildings and defenses so there’s no easy take on the Town Hall

Another nice feature is the Inferno Towers lined up in their own islands. This is a really cool feature of this base because no matter what troops enter one of the compartments with an Inferno Tower, they simply can’t reach the next Inferno Tower.

It’s basically impossible to funnel through all three of these Inferno Tower islands and when only one of these Inferno Towers will survive the cleaning troops or leftover troops will have a hard time clearing this base.

Also this helps forcing attackers to use only a certain attacking style against this base, but more on that later below 🙂

Normally you see the Eagle Artillery being in the very center of a war base build, but this base here takes a different approach.

The Eagle Artillery is surrounded by dead zones to make it very difficult to actually funnel troops through it from that whole side.

So, this either gives the attacker a bad time or a silly mistake trying to actually attack from that side and get through that Eagle Artillery compartment 🙂

The only attacks that are able to actually get this base somewhere close to a decent 2-Star are attacks using PEKKA-Smash (yes, forget about the air attacks, they will fail miserely against this TH12 War Base ????).

The reason is that it’s extremely difficult to path Loons, Miners, Hogs or any other troop through that islands with the Inferno Towers and the PEKKA-Smash is the only one that can somewhat okay do it.

And there are many pitfalls for those attacks as well, like failing to create a proper funnel, failing to place the Earthquake Spells in the core right to open up the back of the base, etc.

After all, even when doing everything right, the troops still fall short in clearing the Town Hall compartment and the rest of the base and get a 70% 2-Star here, that’s the best i’ve seen so far 🙂

For the best defensive success, I recommend you to have a Lava Hound in your Clan Castle!

Overall a nice pick for the upcoming CWL season and a solid option if you want to use a fresh base that is not used everywhere 🙂

The TH12 Trophy Base Design (Home Village)

With the war base taken care of, let’s jump to the Home Village and look at a base that works great to push trophies as a Town Hall 12 🙂

Here’s the base layout:

???? That’s the TH12 Trophy Base ????

Why I Think It Is The Best

Solid results from watching the replays, what else? ????

You will see a lot of below 50% 1-Stars and also failed attacks – and that’s what makes this base really great to use.

General Layout Of The Base

There used to be a time when we had the Town Hall exposed and surrounded by the heavy hitpoint buildings and traps and there have been so many players that still thought they are smarter than us and went all-in with a suicide mission for the Town Hall… well, that time is over.

Now the current builds rely more on having the Town Hall in the core again and mess with funneling and let it come down to a brutal honest attacking vs defending power style battle.

The defenses in this base are strategically set so there’s no easy exploit here.

If you go ahead with Queen Charge against this base you will get some nice points but the important defenses are completely out of reach so there’s not much more than collecting percentage and that’s it.

It may look like you can funnel into the core area easily just because there’s a path but the Inferno Towers will make sure (especially with the Air Sweepers) that there’s no easy way in here, although many troops will factor that path – and this is the point where this base keeps messing with pathing and the attacker runs into tricky spots.

 

I really recommend you to use this base – it’s fresh and there’s nothing you will regret ????
