Best Town Hall 8 bases in Clash of Clans

1) Closed Wall Ring

Closed Wall Ring base is one of the best Town Hall 8 bases in the game. It can defend both air and ground attacking strategies. Multiple wall compartments make it difficult for ground troops to reach the core of the base and get three stars.

With the right placement of Air Defenses and Archer Towers, Dragons will always deal some damage from at least one defense. If the player decides to start the air attack from the opposite side of Air Sweeper, they will have to counter clan castle troops in the end. This might be difficult when Dragons are already spread. Players should prefer taking Dragon and Wizard for clan castle defense.

2) Compartment Ring

Compartment Ring is one of the most popular Town Hall 8 bases. Like Closed Wall Ring, it has compartments but in fewer numbers. Each compartment has more defenses, so once the troops enter any compartment, they will expose themselves to multiple defenses.

The core has all the Hidden Tesla and Air Defenses, so it becomes even more difficult for Mass Dragon players. Once Dragons enter the core, they expose themselves to Air Defenses, Hidden Tesla, Archer Towers, and a lot of air traps. Players should prefer taking Dragon in clan castle to make it even more difficult for enemies to clear the core.

3) Hybrid Resource Ring

Hybrid Resource Ring base is one of the best Town Hall 8 bases for players pushing trophies and collecting Dark Elixir. The core of the base contains only Dark Elixir storage, Town Hall, Hidden Tesla, and clan castle. All three Air Defenses are kept in three different corners.

This way, Air Defenses attack Dragons from whichever side the attack is performed. This might not be the best ground attack defending base, but it works well with air attacks and at the same time protects resources. Players may replace the Dark Elixir storage with any other resource storage they are saving.

4) Blade Ring

Blade Ring is another good example of hybrid Town Hall 8 bases. This base uses multiple compartments, making it difficult for ground troops to reach the core. Players also place a resource storage in the core, which helps them safeguard the resource they need.

This base may not be ideal for air attacks but is surely a strong base for GoWipe players. Multiple compartments make it difficult to reach the core with ease. Resources in the middle also eat a lot of troop damage while being taken down by defenses around them.

5) Core Clan Castle

Core Clan Castle is one of the best war Town Hall 8 bases. It relies on a simple strategy of giving away two easy stars and saving the last star. Town Hall is kept near one corner and replaced by a clan castle in the middle. Players should ask for Super Minions in the clan castle.

Players can easily take two stars by clearing the corner Town Hall but will find it difficult to get the last star because of late clan castle troop deployment. Clan castle troops won't activate initially due to its small range. Once the troops are inside the base, they will be attacked by all the defenses and late clan castle troops will be further a cause of concern.
