The Best TH16 War/Trophy/Farming Base Layouts (March 2025)

Town Hall 16 was introduced at the end of 2023 as the latest and highest Town Hall level in Clash of Clans, so it requires the most advanced defensive techniques to build a base that works well and defends properly as you need to defend against the most experienced players. If you look for a fresh and well-working base layout for your Town Hall 16 Home Village base or war base, you’re in the perfect place.

Every month you will find here new custom-built base layouts for TH16 that work, not just any random internet bases that have been posted all over the places and that experienced attackers know strategies against. All bases here are fresh and well-tested.

All bases here are not just reviewed, they get tested either in real wars or in Legend League with my main account before I will post them here.

BEST

Your Town Hall defenses are not maxed so most regular bases don't seem to work for you? Your Town Hall is maxed but you want to compete with the very top? Our custom bases will work the best for you. They are tailored to your needs and your progress so you get the most value. Cheaper than any pack and for sure more efficent..

How does it work?:After you signed up for the Custom Base Tier on Patreon I will contact you and ask for the details of your base. After that, I will design your base and test it in real defenses and finetune it (takes a few days) and once I am happy with the performance, I will send you your private custom base copy link and my recommendation regarding Clan Castle troops on Patreon.

Limited Spots:Designing a custom base takes time as I always have to test it with my accounts in real defenses, so there are limited spots available and sign up will be closed when the spots are filled. Right now there are a few spots open.

War/CWL Base for DEC#2 - This new war and cwl base for TH16 is an Anti 3-Star base with open channels to make pathing as hard and unpredictable as possible. There's many baits for Queen Charge and air spam attacks built into the perimeter so this and Blimp versions will find an early end. Also it's as hard as possible to directly target the Town Hall itself which makes it even harder to plan an attack and then executing it will be even harder..

Farming Base for DEC#2 - Although this farming base looks more like one of the non-working bad clickbait bases, it works really well with the machanics of Town Hall 16 as you have the storages spread out so there is no ways to get your loot easily without hitting the base properly. The core with the Town Hall is just ridiculous risky to approach and the DPS is all around so there is no obvious and easy entry here. I tested the base a lot and it holds up well and should keep half your available loot protected easily..
