The Best TH9 War/Trophy/Farming Base Layouts (April 2024)

Town Hall 9 Bases – December 27th, 2021

War Base: this war base might look very compact and easy to crush with the standard attacks you see a lot at TH9, but in fact there was no Town Hall 9 attacker that got the 3-Star from it in two Clan Wars where I tested this base in.

Trophy Base: a large center compartment in the core basically splits this base in two and makes it hard for the attacker to build a funnel and pathing through the base that won’t split his army into multiple squads. Works really effectively and with the storages somewhat protected as well, you can even save yourself some resources as well with this base.

Farming Base: this ring base with smaller compartments works really well for protecting your loot as everything is designed to keep the attacker out of the core

Town Hall 9 Bases – December 13th, 2021

War Base: a great base to give the opponent clan a hard time in clan war but also in CWL and there’s no way that any other Town Hall 9 attacker is able to beat this base with 3-Stars without having a higher attacker jumping in.

Trophy Base: with many intersections inside the compartment structure the attacker will struggle to keep the attacking troops together and especially with the standard attacking setups that you see at TH9 so much you will defend your trophies really well.

Farming Base: this double-ring layout with the intersections in between will make sure that the attacker won’t get your storages easily just by going into that base. Especially the Dark Elixir Storages is really save in the core.

Town Hall 9 Bases – November 29th, 2021

War Base: a war base with a twist. On the first look, you have similar compartments and clear pathing but the open section with the storages will give attackers a bad surprise and protect the 3-Star against any other TH9 attacker at any time.

Trophy Base: the outside perimeter and how the compartments are structured make this base really stand out and will protect from most attacking strategies that you come across.

Farming Base: the open sections create a perfect protection line to hole the attacker away from the core but also from getting all the storages easily. The Dark Elixir Storage is protected best in the base but also regular attacks won’t get more than half of the other storages.

Town Hall 9 Bases – November 15th, 2021

War Base: a war base with all defensive features that you can it expect to have and I can tell you that no other Town Hall 9 attacker will be able to 3-Star this with ease (actually ever) and a higher Town Hall attacker will need to jump in here to collect the 3-Star.

Trophy Base: the large open sections in the second line of defense along with the bulkhead protection sections that contain he storages will do everything to hold the attacker off the center of the base and away from getting more stars as much as possible – and this works well for pretty much all attacking strategies that you can call standard at Town hall 9 – you can even push to Champions League with it easily.

Farming Base: the perimeter buildings, the open sections, the double-layer walls…. everything in this farming base is designed to make the attacking troops go around and away from the spots where the storages are to make you keep as much resources as possible.

Town Hall 9 Bases – November 1st, 2021

War Base: a great war base to cut out some attacks from the enemy clan in war and can also be used in CWL as well. Great value against popular attacking strategies and pretty much unbeatable for any TH9 attacker.

Trophy Base: in this trophy base for Town Hall 9 you have a very balanced way how defenses, storages and other structures are placed and it’s impossible for the attacker to assume where the traps are – and you know how much the popular attacks rely on that. Works well, can be used if if you’re not maxed but you should have at least all defenses down.

Farming Base: the open flanks and the way the compartments with everything in it are designed to keep the attacker as much away from the inside of the base where the storages are located. This helps protecting as much loot as possible from any attack.

Town Hall 9 Bases – October 18th, 2021

War Base: a great war base that will keep the enemies busy and also force a higher Town Hall to help out as even higher Town Hall won’t have the easy 1-2-3 attack against this base.

Trophy Base: an offset Town hall section make this base look like a troll base but there’s more behind it that the attacker will not understand until he attacks the base and gets punished hard. No TH9 attacking strategy will have an easy time against this base and the storages aren’t located all the way on the outside so you can still save some loot as well.

Farming Base: a compact ring base that will protect the Dark Elixir Storage in the very center of the base and the other storages for Gold and Elixir around it. The outside rin is broken into smaller sections to distract troops and not give them a clear path towards the center of the base to hopefully protect as many loot as possible.

Town Hall 9 Bases – October 4th, 2021

War Base: make the attacker suffer with this base that will not only defend really well against the popular attacking strategies you see all the time at Town Hall 9, it will also defend well against higher Town Halls and eat away one or another extra attack before getting defeated.

Trophy Base: with the offset Clan Castle you basically force the attacker to come from the bottom area into the empty space which will make funneling either a super hard task or it will take a lot of time for the attacker to pull the cc troops. Overall, the other defensive features of this base are also state of the art and will make it hard for every attacker.

Farming Base: the stacked-layered layout makes funneling troops hard so your storages are save in the manner of core or the other spots as the attacker will not have an easy task collecting them “just like that”. Works really well.

Town Hall 9 Bases – September 20th, 2021

War Base: I ran this base in two real wars and it held up really well and required a higher Town Hall attacker to get the 3-Star while the TH9’s failed miserably.

Trophy Base: you can use this trophy base to push up to Champions Leage easily and it works so well against popular attacking strategies at TH9

Farming Base: compared to the previous farming base, this one here is more balanced toward other resources than Dark Elixir as well.

Town Hall 9 Bases – September 6th, 2021

War Base: wanna see how TH9 attacker fail miserably then you want to run this base, designed to specifically beat checklist-attackers that don’t understand what they’re doing and simply use their attacking strategy as they’ve learnt it from any stream or video…

Trophy Base: super-effective trophy base that you can slo run in upcoming CWL without problems, having the storages as bulkhead on the outside it will protect really well against the current popular attacking strategies you see that much at Town Hall 9 these days.

Farming Base: protecting Dark Elixir is the top priority of this base, no other Dark Elixir Storage is protected as well as this one here but only use this farming base if you prioritize Dark Elixir. Otherwise, use the base next week or the previous one.

Town Hall 9 Bases – August 23rd, 2021

War Base: I tested this base in 2 wars with different clans and it held up quite well and no other Town Hall 9 was able to 3-Star it.

Trophy Base: there have been several requests to build a full-trophy base that has the one and only focus on protecting trophies for TH9. The previous bases have been, kind-of, protecting resources as well but this one here is created for pushing trophies hard.

Farming Base: everything you can expect from a modern farming base for Town Hall 9 is featured here and this is the base of choice if you have many upgrades ahead and need to squeeze out every single drop of Elixir and coin of Gold.

Town Hall 9 Bases – August 9th, 2021

War Base: this war base is working absolutely crazy. It even gave the TH10’s of the enemy a hard time attacking and didnÄt gave up the 3-Star up easily after 6 attacks.

Trophy Base: this week we’re back with base mechanics that aren’t that creative compared to the previous trophy base (that I only got positive feedback about!). Centralized Town Hall along with huge compartments make this trophy base a very solid one.

Farming Base: Dark Elixir in the core, corner islands with some storages, dead zone double-wall intersections to interrupt troop pathing makes this farming base the best choice if you want to save up some resources for all the upgrades needed at TH9.

Town Hall 9 Bases – July 26th, 2021

War Base: this war base has all features you can expect from a modern war base for Town Hall 9 and no popular attacking strategy for TH9 has been able to beat it so far.

Trophy Base: the line of storages in the middle will divide the base into two pieces and mess around with pathing and also slow down attacking troops a lot as staorges have that many hitpoints. No problem to use this base to push to Champions League as a TH9.

Farming Base: I wanted to create a farming base that doesn’t prioritize any resource so the DArk Elixir Storage is not absolutely in the center of the base, still well-protected.

Town Hall 9 Bases – June 28th, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – June 21st, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – June 14th, 2021

War Base: you will be pleased how well this war base holds up, especially if the attacker is a higher Town Hall and you can bind several enemies attack before giving away the stars in your next war.

Trophy Base: this is a hybrid base for TH9 that also protects your resources as well. You will not be able to push towards the highest leagues with this base but you can easily maintain your current league up to Champions League with it.

Farming Base: great for protecting your resources, especially your Dark Elixir.

Town Hall 9 Bases – June 7th, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – May 31st, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – May 24th, 2021

War Base: this war base crushed and even held up well against TH10s attacking it. Really strong one and will take the enemy clan a couple attacks to clear.

Trophy Base: with all the large compartments and dead zones, attackers that use spamming strategies will get a problem with the clock running out and pathing is also a huge problem. Really effective for a nice trophy push at TH9.

Farming Base: this farming base does what it takes to keep your Dark Elixir Storage protected as the very core of the base. The compartments around it also help dragging attacking troops away from the center of the base.

Town Hall 9 Bases – May 10th, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – May 3rd, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – April 26th, 2021

War Base: this war base was a nightmare for attackers in two wars where I used it and no TH10 attacker was even close to get 3-Star attack against it.

Trophy Base: this kind of trophy layouts is nothing new, but with the separated sections it will make funneling against this base even harder and will protect a lot fo trophies. You can also use it really well in CWL.

Farming Base: This ring base has a ring that is divided which adds another layer of protection for the core, also because the rin is super-wide. The storages in the first compartments are fairly to get individually, but when the attacker will get them on one side, he won#t get the ones on the other side and the Dark Elixir Storage in the core is well-protected.

Town Hall 9 Bases – February 15th, 2021

Town Hall 9 Bases – February 8th, 2021

War Base: this base gave 5 TH10 a mediocre 2-Star in our recent war so I can’t do anything else than recommend it for your next war.

Trophy Base: this base might look like a troll base but it’s the opposite. It’s really strong and the defensive concepts are all falling into place. There’s no easy take on this base.

Farming Base: classic ring base for resource protection that works really well.

Town Hall 9 Bases – February 1st, 2021

War Base: this great base held up really well in recent wars and no other TH9 was able to come anywhere close to a 3-Star, forcing higher Town Halls to clean it.

Trophy Base: this base will give the attackers a hard time with several compartments and the offset layout. You can expect several defensive victories with this base.

Farming Base: this ring base supercharges your Dark Elixir protection by placing the Dark Elixir Storage in the very core and let all defensive mechanisms work around it.

Town Hall 9 Bases – January 25th, 2021

War Base: similar to last week’s war base with some general tweaks to make it even more sustainable against less mainstream attacking strategies.

Trophy Base: this classic trophy base worked really well for my TH9 mini account and you wouldn’t believe how easy I defended even in Champion League and above with it.

Farming Base: the path in the center of the base works more and more effectively recently so I decided to give you another farming base of this style that has been doing a great job during my tests recently.

Town Hall 9 Bases – January 18th, 2021

War Base: this open side war base reminds a lot to former days when we say this a lot more and it worked really effective in recent wars when I tested this among my clan. They actually needed a higher Town hall to get the 3-Star after several failed attempts.

Trophy Base: the large dead zone in the core will drag attacking troops to the outside and prevent any effective funneling through the middle and save you a good amount of trophies.

Farming Base: offset dead zone Town hall section with sideloaded storages for maximum resource protection is what you can expect from this base, and it works really well.

Town Hall 9 Bases – January 11th, 2021

War Base: The core compartment design is the special thing about this war base and works realyl effective for the popular attacking strategies by messing with the troop pathing and luring them into the traps effectively.

Trophy Base: this classic trophy base worked extremely effectively for me when testing it and the double-core with the Clan Castle and the Town Hall along with the Air Sweeper is super effective against all air attacks. The side compartments are designed to make funneling hard and will give the attacker a hard time, even if the attacker is a Town Hall higher than you.

Farming Base: this farming base works highly effective at TH9 with the core designed to protect most storages and the Town Hall as well. The ring around is designed into compartments with the defenses and everything to slow down attacking troops and try to lure them away from the core.

Town Hall 9 Bases – January 4th, 2021

War Base: the way how the compartments in this war base distract and mess with pathing of the troop AI is really top-notch and I promise you that this base will give you some great results in your next clan war.

Trophy Base: this hybrid trophy base will give the attacker some headache, for sure. You have great defensive mechanisms with that compartment design and very useful defense placement. Great to maintain or even push your trophy count.

Farming Base: protecting your resources at TH9 can be really devastating at times, but this base got you covered with every defensive feature you can expect from a solid farming base in 2021.
