Question

I've heard the Clan Castle is the strongest defensive building and so should be put in the middle of the base. Is that true?

Community Answer

Yes, that is true. Put it next to the townhall with a mortar and an air defense, and you will probably be fine.

How can I conserve my walls when designing my base?

Kick out army buildings. If you're really low on walls, throw out mines/collectors.

Question

I'm a level 5 and I have tried 5 different base designs (from videos) but none of them work. How do I find good tutorials for my base?

Man Axel Barrios

Community Answer

Try making your own base with these tips and you will be fine, because most of the great bases come from trial and error.

Question

Do I need to max collectors or defenses first?

Man Axel Barrios

Community Answer

Collectors, because they are your main source of gold, elixir, and dark elixir. It will be easier to upgrade defenses if you start with the collectors.

Question

Every attack against me I lose. How do I make a better base?

Community Answer

Use trial and error. Look at the replays and figure out your weak spots. In those weak spots, maybe support it more with walls, defenses and traps.

Go in your storage, and then clear data for clash of clans. This will delete the current clash of clans account, unless it's backed up by Google.

If you can afford to buy another builder, they're always very helpful. Sometimes, it will just take time, and you'll have to be patient.

Question

How do I make an effective base when there's lots of obstacles in Clash of Clans?

Community Answer

To make an effective base with lots of obstacles, you would have to use a builder to get rid of these obstacles. You will have more space for your base, and clearing these obstacles might reward you with gems.

Question

Why is it important to keep the clan castle in the middle of the base?

Community Answer

This is the easiest spot to defend, so it's recommended to keep the clan castle there. If it's outside of the middle, you may have more trouble keeping it properly defended.

How can we push our trophies more?

Artemi

Top Answerer

Have a strong base and attack often with a strong army. Use giants, wall breakers, and wizards/archers at TH 3-6. At TH 7, use dragons. At TH 8 and above, use hog riders, golems, valkyries, dragons, bowlers, miners, lavaloonian, and witches.

At gold league 3, you get dark elixir in your treasury. So you might want to push if you are lower in trophy leagues!

Question

How should I set up my base if I like to attack several times per day, so that I can receive more trophies and people won't want to attack me?

Community Answer

The best way to avoid being attacked is to look intimidating and obviously to have high-level defenses. An easy way to look intimidating is to upgrade your walls.

Are engineered bases effective war bases?

Yes, they are. From what I've seen, they always seem to work in one way or another, such as when you try to flank someone with an engineered trap base.

Question

If I have a really low level Town Hall, like level 4 or 5, what are my best options to build defendable base that can reduce the amount of damage taken?

Community Answer

If you have a low level base you should put buildings with high hitpoints outside like a clan castle near defenses, so the defenses can kill the enemy while they take a long time to break the other building.
