The Best TH4 War/Trophy/Farming Base Layouts (January 2026)

If you look for a fresh and well-working base layout for your Town Hall 5 Home Village base you’re in the perfect place. I do frequently test, build and review base layouts for Town Hall 4 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 every month so check back here to get the latest base layouts

War/CWL Base (12/25)

FREE

War/CWL Base for 12/25 - This Town Hall 4 trophy base uses a boxed-in core to protect the Town Hall and key defenses, making it tough for attackers to break in cleanly. Layered walls and trap placements disrupt common 2025 strategies like Giant-Archer pushes and mixed Barbarian–Archer spam. Strong air coverage from the central Air Defense helps shut down Balloon attacks, giving the base balanced protection against both ground and air threats..

Ranked Base for 12/25 - This Town Hall 4 trophy base is built for ranked mode with a centralized Town Hall and tightly stacked defenses that make funneling difficult for attackers. Its compact layout and well-timed bomb placements help counter popular ground attacks like Giant–Archer and mass-Barbarian swarms. The central Air Defense and Air Bombs also provide strong protection against early Balloon strategies, forcing attackers into low-percentage outcomes..

Ranked Base for 11/25 - This is the base that will do everything possible to defend your core with the Town Hall and hold well up against all the common attacking strategies you need to defend at Town Hall 4. The outside perimeter is designed to keep attacking troops out of there as much as possible and if the attacker doesn't exactly know how to perform the attack he will blew it..

Home Base (08/25)

ⓘ Details

FREE

Home Base for 08/25 - This base here is a nice all-round base to use but it actually doesn’t protect your resources well enough if you’re in the middle of getting them together for upgrades – this is rather for your first push in trophies or also alright to use in Clan War. The small compartments will slow down attacking troops and keep them busy to buy your defenses more time to deal with attacking troops and normally you can get this done well as many attackers miss to clear out the outside and the troops will walk around the base before entering the core and get shot by defenses all the time..

Home Base (06/25)

ⓘ Details

Home Base for 06/25 - Here’s an all-round base that also protects your resources at some point. The attacking troops will be busy walking around the base and suffer constant damage from your defenses before they will actually attack them – this is precious time when you can decimate the attacker’s army and by the time they enter the core area the attacker already lost a lot of troops and won#t make it through everything. This base works really great unless you get hit by a higher Town Hall (but in this case no TH4 base in the world can save you, to be honest).

Home Base (04/25)

ⓘ Details

Home Base for 04/25 - While most base layouts for Town Hall 4 basically have one large core compartment where the Town Hall and defenses are, this base here consists of 3 compartments and the Town Hall is in the very inner core to prevent easy access for troops. Also, entering one compartment doesn’t give the ground troops the easy access to everything and especially Giants will have problems getting through all these walls to reach all defenses. Works like a charm..

Home Base for 02/25 - Here we have a classical war base if you look for a base to specifically use in Clan War – the Town Hall is exposed for the cost to protect the defenses in the core as much as possible and prevent that the attacker gets the 3-Star easily because it takes a long time to clear off all the outside structures..
