It’s time for a new base design. All recent base designs I featured here have become very popular, so they can be beaten by more and more people. I gathered together the latest solid base designs for TH8, War Base Layouts and Farming Base Layouts.

 All base layouts are up to date with the latest Clash of Clans update and include the Bomb Tower.

 Take note, some bases are rebuilt with a higher town hall account, but only the defenses and buildings from Town Hall 8 bases are used.

Town Hall 8 War Base Layouts

In Clan War it’s pretty popular that a higher Town Hall Level will attack your base. Of course this is sometimes frustrating, but this only happens if another Town Hall 8 player is not able to 3 Star your base – with these base designs you will give them a headache.

Anti-Dragon TH8 War Base Layout

This Town Hall 8 War Base Design is meant to defend against Dragon attacks. Somehow these attacks are still quite popular.


With the centralized Air Defenses and the layout making it hard to funnel Dragons directly into the core you will not see any 3 Star with Dragon attacks on this base.

Best Town Hall 8 Anti-Hog Rider War Base GoHo / GoVaHo / GoVaBo

This is a great layout to use against Hog Riders. You have strong Trap setups along with the Bomb Tower that are not predictable – the attacker will only see 4 possible positions and all of them are pretty hostile against Hog Riders.


More and more attackers use mass Hog Riders and this base will not get 3-Stared with Hog Riders.

This base is my recommendation.

Anti 3 Star Allrounder War Base Layout TH8

This War Base tries to work against multiple attacking setups – you have the Trap setups working well against Hog Riders, the centralized Air Defenses and general setup being good against Dragons and also lots of Spring Traps against Giant/Healer attacks.


All the Traps are more inside so they can’t be triggered easily from the outside.

Town Hall 8 Clan War Base

This base works with an isolated core pretty good against most attacks.


The attacking replays I’ve seen show that many attackers fail to get the Town Hall because the troops would rather go around it. A good way to save you the last Star.

Town Hall 8 Farming Base Layouts

Saving resources while farming at Town Hall 8 can be hard. Here are some base layouts I recommend for you, depending what you want to do. I have one hardcore Dark Elixir farming layout and two allrounder layouts to protect all resources (as well as possible).

The important thing is to spread the Storages so attackers can’t go for them specifically. This minimizes the risk that an attacker can take all loot without getting 3 Stars on your base.

Dark Elixir Protection TH8 Farming Base

This TH8 Farming Base is designed to help you save Dark Elixir. The Dark Elixir is so safe in the core that it’s impossible to get it without hitting your base very hard – something I don’t see happening at Town Hall 8 because there are much easier targets for an attacker.


The semi-exposed Town Hall will grant some Dark Elixir for the attacker and most of them will go for that to get the League Bonus, but also will give you a shield.

 Please note that this base is only if you want to save and farm Dark Elixir exclusively. If you also want to save other resources you might want to use one of the next Town Hall 8 farming bases.

Hybrid Town Hall 8 Farming Base

You’d be surprised how many fail for this base and not even get a single Star. If you’re protecting all your resources, you also have to protect your Town Hall. It’s worth 1 Gold Storage, 1 Elixir Storage and also 20% of your Dark Elixir available.


The Storages on the outside are protected by splash damage, despite the fact that they look a little bit too exposed for a farming base. There is no way to snipe them easily.

Funneling TH8 Farming Base Layout

This is also a classic hybrid farming base layout. The core protects the Dark Elixir and your Town Hall, while the Storages are in the funnels on the outside.


here is no way to get easy access to them and if someone goes for them you will not lose more than two, but you will get your shield.

Conclusion

It’s all about choosing what you want to defend against. These bases work well, especially the second War Base shown. Take care to alter the traps a little bit so that nobody can predict them.

GoVaHo (Golems, Valkyries and Hog Rider) has become a very solid attacking composition after the March 2016 Update that buffed the Valkyries. It can be used at Town Hall 9 and is there very effective and also now on Town Hall 10. It’s a fast and very easy to learn attacking strategy that can 3 Star many different Town Hall 10 bases – even without scouting that much, so you can also use it in regular multiplayer battles.

How GoVaHo works

This strategy is a real fast attacking strategy and it overruns bases. The Golems open the base, the Valkyries destroy the core and the Hog Rider will clean up the rest – when I sum it up fast.

Especially at Town Hall 10, you’re not able to do Hog Rider attacks that effectively, because the Inferno Tower will prevent any healing on your Hog Rider. Using GoHo does work, but needs a lot of in-depth scouting which makes it a solid Clan War attack but not that useful in regular multiplayer attacks. That’s where GoVaHo comes up, because you can overrun the core and the Inferno Tower with the Valkyries and after that your Hogs are good to go.

Which Town Halls Levels does GoVaHo work?

Town Hall 9 & Town Hall 10

Main Purpose Of This Attacking Strategy

Regular Attacks for Trophy Pushing, Clan War and even Farming (Elixir or Gold)

Pros of GoVaHo:

+ A quite simple and good working strategy with a high 3 Star success rate

 + No need for long scouting

Cons of GoVaHo:

– Extremely Expensive in Dark Elixir and long training time (because you train most troops in the 2 Dark Barracks)

GoVaHo Step by Step

I will give more detailed instructions for TH9 & TH10 later in this post.  Before we get to that, I want to explain the basic mechanics of GoVaHo attacking.

If I break it down to the very basics, this attacking strategy has 3 Steps:

  1. Open the outside layer with Golem & Wall Breaker and create the funnel to the inside
  2. Bring your Valkyries into the core and then make them wipe it out in seconds with Rage & Jump Spell
  3. Deploy the Hog Rider that will clean up the other half of the base
Sounds too easy? Well, it’s easy as long as you manage to create your funnel to the inside. If your Valkyries fail to go for the core, the attack fails.

The good thing is you don’t need to worry about double Giant Bombs on the way, because they can’t take your Valks out like they can do with Hog Rider (remember, Hog Rider get 50% more damage from Giant Bombs).

The downside of this strategy is that you need to upgrade your Valkyries to at least Level 3. Not many have done that so far because Valkyries have been a pretty useless troop so far.

Here’s the troop setup you should go with:

  • 2 Golems (1 of them inside your Clan Castle)
  • 12 Valkyries
  • 14 Hog Rider
  • 4 Wall Breaker
  • Fill up with Wizards (probably 6, but you can play around)
  • 1-2 Jump Spells
  • 1 Freeze Spell (mandatory on TH10)
  • Fill with Rage Spells (or 1 Heal Spell against TH9)

Step 1: Setting the Funnel

The first Step of your attack is opening the first layer of Walls – this is also the crucial part of the attack you shouldn’t mess up.

Make sure that after the first layer of Walls you can get your Valkyries into the core with a single Jump Spell! Otherwise, the risk of seeing them go wild to the sides is very high.


You can see here how the setup should look like. The funneling is the 101 way – Deploy Golems, deploy Wall Breaker and deploy the Wizards. You can read a more in-depth guide on troop funneling here:

Step 2: Crazy Valkyrie Destruction

You can see in the upper screenshot that the Valkyries are forced to go for the core. The Jump Spell only leaves them this direction and that’s what they will go for. Since the last update they will hit faster, that means they will go through the line of defenses like a hot knife through a piece of butter.

You only need to watch and drop your Spells at the right time now:

  • Freeze Spell at the very moment the Multi Target Inferno Tower starts targeting them (maybe a second before)
  • Rage Spell in the middle of the core
This will take down the core in seconds!

Step 3: Clean It Up!

At the moment the second Inferno Tower goes down you can start deploying your Hog Rider at the sides where buildings and defenses are left


Now enjoy your 2 or 3 Star victory :)

Conclusion

GoVaHo is a very solid attacking strategy, but be aware that you need to upgrade your Valks and Hog Rider first. Don’t do the mistake giving up after some tryout attacks with low-level Valks.
