Town Hall 17 as the latest and highest Town Hall level in Clash of Clans right now, 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 17 Home Village base or war base, you’re in the perfect place.
Every month you will find here new custom-built base layouts for TH17 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.

Sorry for that delay, but there is no other way to do it.

War/CWL
RankedDiamond-style · TH18 Stronger in every rating than the August free base. This TH17 War/CWL PRO base features a killer diamond-style layout, finetuned to the fullest to stand toe-to-toe with the current meta and deliver the best possible defensive results. It shuts down spam and Fireball Thrower pushes, holds strong against Royal Champion charge with Root Riders, and handles smash variations with confidence — making it an absolute must-have for serious war and CWL players. Join AllClash PRO to access these elite PRO bases and give yourself the best chance at defensive success. Built and thoroughly tested for the August 2026 Crafted Defense Season, this TH17 War and CWL base was among the most effective options in the current meta just a month ago, with a balanced compartment layout, strong coverage, and trap placements that make it hard to secure consistent value or a 3-star. It’s still strong and useful, but because it’s public and more players now know how to attack it, its effectiveness will continue to drop day by day. For the best defensive success possible, join AllClash PRO to unlock the PRO bases, which are only available to a small number of players and are therefore much less likely to be burnt.

War / CWL Base
Released Aug 1Why it works
War / CWL Base
Released Jul 1Why it works
A symmetrical diamond TH17 war/CWL base with double Rage Spell Towers, it’s built to shut down common attacks by denying easy Thrower entries, limiting Dragon Duke chain value, and making safe Flame Flinger placements difficult while keeping the Town Hall heavily protected. It was one of the strongest TH17 defenses in the meta about 2 months ago, and while it’s still strong and useful, more players now know how to play against it since it’s public, so its effectiveness will slowly drop each day. For the best defensive success, join AllClash PRO to unlock PRO bases, which are available to only a small group of players and are far less likely to be burnt than public layouts.

War / CWL Base
Released Jun 1Why it works
Anti 3-Star diamond-style war and CWL base with an island Town Hall compartment, built to handle common TH17 entries while limiting Fireball value and Flinger points and keeping steady DPS pressure on attacking heroes. It was one of the best TH17 bases in the meta about 3 months ago, but now that it’s public more players know how to hit it, so it’s still strong and useful yet getting less effective every day.

War / CWL Base
Released May 1Why it works
A strong Anti-3-Star TH17 War/CWL base designed to defend particularly well against Fireball with Golem Meteor, Royal Champion Root Riders, Royal Champion Dragons, and Thrower attacks. While this was one of the best bases in the current TH17 meta about 4 months ago, it is now pretty much outdated as balancing updates and meta progression have changed the foundation that made it so effective, and more players already know a strategy against it since it’s public. It can still be useful, but it will get weaker every day, so for the best defensive success possible, join AllClash PRO to access the PRO bases that only a small number of players can use and are much less likely to be burnt; if possible, pick a newer base higher on the list.

War / CWL Base
Released Apr 1Why it works
Built around a diamond-style layout, this TH17 War/CWL base is designed to slow down smash-style attacks with strong compartmenting and a disruptive core that forces awkward pathing and weakens heavy entries. It was one of the best-performing TH17 anti-meta bases about 5 months ago, but since it’s public more players now know how to attack it, and with balancing updates plus meta/progression changes it’s now pretty much outdated and will keep getting less effective every day. For the best defensive success, join AllClash PRO to access the PRO bases, since they’re only available to a small number of players and are far less likely to be burnt than public bases.

War / CWL Base
Released Mar 1Why it works
This diamond-style TH17 War/CWL base was once one of the strongest answers to the TH17 meta, built to defend popular smash-style attacks and carefully tested against the new Dragon Duke hero. It’s still solid and useful, but since it’s public and the meta has evolved over the last 6 months, more players know how to beat it now and it’s becoming less effective every day; at this point it’s pretty much outdated, so you should rather pick a newer base higher on the list.

Built as a TH17 box-style war/CWL base, it was one of the strongest answers to the current meta about 7 months ago, especially against Dragon variations and RR Smash, but since it’s public more players now know how to attack it. With balancing updates and meta progression changing the foundation of what made it great, it’s now pretty much outdated and will keep losing value over time, so you’re better off choosing a newer base higher on the list.

War / CWL Base
Released Jan 1Why it works
Box-style TH17 War/CWL base with double poison that punishes the most common attacks, especially Royal Champion charges from the bottom side, while also limiting Meteor Golem, Root Rider, and Dragon value and giving Fire Ball and Flinger very poor access. It was one of the strongest TH17 meta bases about 8 months ago, but now that it’s public more players know how to play against it, so it’s still strong and useful but getting less effective every day. Since it’s now more than 3 months old, it’s pretty much outdated after balancing updates and meta/progression changes, so for the best defensive success possible, join AllClash PRO to get the newer PRO bases that are only available to a small number of players and are much less likely to be burnt.

Diamond-style war/CWL base built to defend well against smash-style attacks and even early TH18s hitting your base. It was one of the strongest TH17 options in the meta about 9 months ago, but because it’s now public more players know the counters, so it’s still strong and useful yet will get less effective every day; since it’s more than 3 months old, it’s pretty much outdated compared to newer bases as balancing updates and meta/progression shifts have changed what makes a base like this great.

This months base are incomplete
what do you mean with incomplete? Also are you referring to the PRO or the latest FREE bases?
In the latest (free) cwl base (after th18 update) there is still the weapon of the creation station but in game this is not at th17 anymore
^
the screenshots of the base have been from the concept phase of the base, not from the most recent iteration. But the base copy link works just fine and is correct so no worries about that 🙂 Thanks for the feedback!
There is still weapon station in th17 base after copying from the link from latest one – Ranked Base for 11/25 – After TH18
Can we expect new bases for July?
Yap just updated them 🙂
We wait whole month nd u posted just 1. Or 2 bases of that month it seems our subscription is wasted we are pushers we need everyday changed bases need packs but u gave one base for whole month this is not fair
Come on this has to be a joke comment…
Uhm… will you be updating TH9 and 10 for June 2025 perhaps?
My husband and I started playing again after 10 years, and we are about to enter our first CWL. I’m a little scared (of disappointing the clan.)
Thanks in advance.
👍
When can we expect the next set of bases of June?
It’s June 1st 7am and as soon as I got my coffee and walked the dog I will start updating them so they will be here later today/tomorrow 🙂
Haha fair enough. Was wondering cause sometimes you have the bases up a day or 2 before. Plus different time zones
All good 😀 Yeah sometimes I do when I know I am busy. TH17 is updated though 🙂
Thanks but I just noticed this base is from the WWE event. Which was in April. So this base in a way is 2 months old. Not to say the base won’t work. But when I saw the wrestlers in camps. It’s definitely not something that was made in May. Please explain
Thanks
Fair question, totally understand where this is coming from 🙂 The full details would be a very long one so I try to make it brief. Bases go through a lot of testing here (real testing, not just friendly attacks) so that takes a long time since wars and legend league defenses are limited per day. Normally a draft of a base takes weeks to pass all tests, if it does, with iterations of fine tuning. Since we are still using the same core defensive meta (no matter if there have been smaller adjustments on the attacking side, the defensive funneling and how to defend certain troop types, distance on buildings and more) for more than 3 months now. So, this means right now a few bases have been initially drafted a while ago but undergo all tests, including very recent ones, to make sure they perform. The screenshot is more decorational here since people don’t trust base links without image (don’t ask why) and this one is from the initial phase of the base draft. But as you can see, we tested it with the latest cc troops. I could have done a fresh base screenshot but had some bases active and wanted to update the base here quickly for you guys so I took the old screenshot that originated with the wwe troop. Anyway, tldr; a base posted as June base normally has a 3-4 weeks (and sometimes longer) journey of being tested across several accounts (Legend League in different trophy counts, war with and against different clans) before it is released as working meta and get posted here. That’s the time and quality that has proven over the last 10 years of doing this to be reliable.
Oops. Just saw this. Sorry. I would delete my question if I could.
No worries, asking doesn’t hurt 🙂 Updating right now
Those new February updates do not include the multi gear? Was looking for it
The pro bases do, once they get updated probably in 1-2 weeks they become free
Ahh I thought i saw it advertised for all of them to include it including the free bases. Got cha thanks for the update
I am working on a new batch already for the PRO bases so the current PRO bases will become public. The reason is I had some approaches prepared to provide bases when the update drops. So my guess is like 7-10 days until you can use them. But for now you can simply replace an archer tower position with it and give it a go, the defense is not that much of an game-changer element that requires bases to be structured completely differently 🙂
Hello, will there be an updated farming base soon?
we don’t do farming bases specifically anymore expect for fresh releases of a new Town Hall level since this farming base archetype is actually pretty outdated and is only kept alive by AI Youtube video creators. Using a good trophy base and push to legend is getting you more resources than dropping and trying to protect loot
Ahh okay will give that a try, I usually hover around titan 1 for the ores, would you say to stay around here or go into legends? Some days I just don’t want to do 8 attacks so don’t really go into legends league much
Well, I mean at the first place it’s about having fun (I know some people do not use this approach with games, but I believe it’s a good one), so my reply has two parts. One part is the pure ‘this is the best from a math standpoint’ which is that going to legend league and do your attacks there is better than using a “farming” base that protects storages in a lower league until someone comes by that will 3-Star your base and take all the resources. This is simply about what helps you stockpile the most resources. In your case (that’s the second part), Titan I already has solid rewards so you can also stay there with a good trophy base and you’re good. You can try pushing for legend but if that turns out to be something that make you feel forces to grind, don’t do it and stay in Titan League and have fun and live a happy clash life there 🙂
My initial reply was a little salty because I’m more and more frustrated that Youtube AI video creators that repost old bases over and over and call them farming bases keep an outdated approach alive when farming bases actually worked (until pretty much December 2015 when Supercell massively changed the way attacking worked and actually looting resources and mines/collectors have been your only resource income source). they don’t play the game, they repost base images and links from all kinds sources with different titles so they don’t know. But if you see FARMING BASE hundreds of times posted all over the place as normal player, you fall for the claim. That’s what frustrates me but that is not your fault. So I hope I could light some shadow into this, especially for newer players that started the game in the post-2016 era 🙂
Thank you for that, makes alot of sense, i think for me to have fun I’d rather have the flexibility titan offers me to legends, can always get the clan to war if I want to test my attacking skills against war bases
There’s so many videos claiming “the best 10 new bases” ect ect but they always get wrecked and I’m not a base builder, I wouldn’t know where to start
forget the videos. Youtube has been a source up until like 2018/2019 but ever since all good builders left that platform and started putting their bases on thrown websites/Patreon. the bases on Youtube are reposts of reposts of reposts. they are all trash and if one big channel has a good base, it gets wrapped into those videos over and over for months or used so much that it gets burnt altogether within days since attackers develop a strategy against it. I can’t recall anything good there but as a disclaimer I avoided all base videos on Youtube for 2-3 years so there might be smaller unknown channels that have quality bases that I am not aware of, but the broad majority is simply clickbait. Sometimes my bases got wrapped in there as well that’s why I watermark them. The people creating the videos don’t even have the game to create their own screenshots of it, they simply copy paste the link and screenshot from the website into their video and using a simple watermark on the pictures stopped that. That’s why I can tell you with confidence that they don’t even play the game and only clickbait for ad revenue there.
So it’s been a few days since the TH release, have you guys done testing to where you can share a more accurate updated base for now? Besides the one that are posted right now
they are updated in the pro section
Ahh I see. Well we are in December 1, will we get an updated base for December as you guys usually release a for each month? If I recall usually you release a “pro” version from the previous month and have a new pro version for the following month
Edit (sorry I am not a morning person!): I will update later today, I caught a tad of a food poisoning and it’s Sunday morning where I live so please give me a couple hours 🙂
When will the th17 bases be ready?
We are working incredibly hard on it, have several bases prepared to be gemmed to max out everything to test. We hope to have a first one out in 24 hours. But if you do not gem everything, the started bases are a good option while you work on upgrades 🙂
Are you guys posting any free TH17 bases? Or only members get the exclusive content?
No there will be free ones. There will be bases for players upgrading to TH17 (not everyone is gemming every new building right away) and initial TH17 starter layouts. From there, like TH16, we think there will be a few iterations looking how the balancing is and the meta works. Probably weekly new bases to keep up with th evolving meta. So everytime the new iteration is available, that is for members and the last one will become free. We do this until the “dust” settles and the meta is more stable and then there will be a monthly schedule like the other bases. So, you can expect a lot of free bases as well with just the best and most recent ones being members exclusive 🙂 let us know if you have any other questions
