Base Types | Clash Of Clans | TEC Clashzz

There are many different types of bases that you can make in Clash of Clans and it is vital that you make a well designed base for the job that you want it to do.[1] There are therefore a few fundamental rules that you must follow in order to achieve a good design. 

Hybrid Bases

• Most common type of base.
• Aim: To protect both trophies and resources.
• Air Defenses and Mortars need to be well spread, but they are normally also fairly centralised as well.
• Everything in middle.
• Consider what to protect the most.
• You can have an interchangeable layout so you can swap storages with defences so that different things are more heavily protected. 
• Another thing you may wish to do is to place wizard towers around storages and within range of each other. This way you can destroy hordes and goblins easily. 
• It is also recommended that you have your clan castle and barbarian king as central as possible, so they can cover your entire base. Prioritise the positioning of these defences over cannons or archer towers, which can be placed on the outskirts of your base. 
• Most Hybrid bases are segmented by walls so that each compartment isn’t very big. This is a good idea so that the enemy doesn’t steal all resources and destroy your town hall all at once. Spread out your valuables so they can’t steal it all at once. However, make sure they are still well protected. If you are a high enough level, make sure your storages aren’t in the outermost part of your base. Make any attacker have to go through at least two walls to get to a storage. 

Farming Bases

• Aim: To protect your resources
• This is so you can upgrade your defenses. Many people purposely drop their trophy level in order to avoid being attacked by higher level players and losing too many resources. However, there are still plenty of people who are capable of destroying a higher level base, but with a low trophy count, so you need to ensure your base's defense is tight. 
• You have a main compartment in the middle of the base with your clan castle and dark elixir storage. Having your clan castle centralised, with many troops inside, will provide maximum protection of your base. Also, dark elixir is very precious, so placing this in the middle of the base will be vital as it will be well protected there. 
• Distribute your storage evenly around your main compartment so you don’t lose all your resources at once. Make sure each of them is well protected by two or three well placed defensive buildings. Many people on this website have talked about triangulation of defensive buildings, and I believe that it is a very important aspect of your base. It is the idea that your defenses are distributed to ensure maximum coverage of your entire base. Triangulation is particularly important for mortars and air defenses as they can wreak havoc with the attacker’s army. 
• Also make sure you put as many collectors inside your walled base as possible, as collectors can be an easy source of resources for an attacker if they are not emptied regularly. 
• Segmentation is not as important in farming bases as there tend to be larger compartments that contain storages and several defensive buildings. However, it is still wise to use it when you can. I would recommend a layout like a 3 ring defence.
• Firstly, in your first ring or main compartment, place your clan castle and most prized storage and a couple of defences (e.g. Mortar and air defence). In the main second ring, split it up so you have roughly four compartments with a storage each but with several defences (e.g. Gold and elixir storages + wizard towers and mortars [xbow if you are TH9+]). And in your third ring, place collectors and other defensive buildings, like cannons and archer tower.
• As of the December 2015 update, Town Halls now hold gold, elixir and 25% of your dark elixir. Town Halls also dont give you a shield anymore, so it is pointless to keep it outside. The Town Hall should be protected like a storage, either in you centre compartment or second layer.
• If you want to win a lot of defenses with farming, then here are some tips;

1) Don't place your town hall in a corner; this will insure that you lose every defense, instead, place it by your outside walls, because the attacker might not be able to find it.

2) Have your highest level defenses in range of the town hall; make sure they can shoot archers/wizards too. Have a max possible level archer tower, cannon, and mortar. If they can shoot barbarians and archers, then they will be killed very quickly.

3) Have high level gold mines and collectors outside your walls; despite about what they say about this, if you are a frequent player, then this wont be a very big problem; The attacker might see that you have a lot of available loot and attack your mines and collectors rather then your town hall; this is a good trick if you have level 9-12 gold and elixir storages, because they will usually look nearly empty; Then the attacker will realize that there wasn't very much and the remaining troops will be unable to destroy the town hall.

4) Make sure you have no shield when you get off for the night; attackers will be more likely to raid before a lot of resources accumulate and you wont lose as much.

5) Have a trophy range of 600-750 because you will be more likely to attacked by small numbers of lvl 2-4 barbarians and archers, and will be more likely to win the defense. Note: you WILL have to drop trophies frequently, because if you win a lot of defenses, like some people, then you could wake up and have 850-950 trophies. To save Elixir, Barbarian King dropping is the best way.

6) If you use these strategies like some people, then you could win the unbreakable achievement faster than the average clasher. Note: sometimes you will be raided by a player with lots of high level troops, but don't worry about losing a lot of gold, elixir, and dark elixir because these attacks happen only because you are in silver 3 instead of bronze 1.

Defensive Bases

• Aim: Protect Trophies
• The town hall is normally situated in a main compartment with the clan castle air defense, mortars and if you are a higher level, x-bow and inferno tower. This means that whatever level you are, you need to have a centralized town hall that is heavily protected. 
• There are also normally a few walled layers between the town hall and the edge of the base. This may have defensive buildings inside or it maybe one space between walls to make attacking troops destroy another wall layer. Either of these methods is an effective way of slowing down potential attackers. 
• You also need to make sure that you don’t expose too much of your base as well as you can lose trophies at the one star stage of over 50% damage to your base. So you need to make sure that enough buildings are walled around but there are enough layers of walls to protect your town hall. It is a tricky compromise. 
• However, you can lure attacking armies by placing your storages outside your walls. This will, of course, lead to major resource loss. If you are clever in your placement, you can cause significant damage to their army while they take your resources. You need to make a slight open inlet into your base where the storages are placed. Surround these with defenses so when the army is lured, you can almost wipe them out and keep overall base damage percentage low. They might not always target that bit, so you will need to ensure that the rest of your base is still sufficiently protected. 

Conclusion
Whatever base layout you choose to make, always look back afterwards and think how you would defeat your own base. Ask yourself how you can improve it. Remember that there is no such thing as the perfect base; you just need to prioritize what you want. Also, try out each base type and see which works best for you.
