FAQ: TH16 Base Layouts (2025)
What is the best TH16 base layout in Clash of Clans?
Honest answer? It depends on your goal. If you are pushing Trophies, grab the TH16 Anti-2 Trophy Base. If it is Clan War League week, the Anti-3 CWL Base is currently the strongest pick for the 2025 meta.
Which TH16 base is best for Ranked Battles?
I highly recommend the Anti-2 Trophy Base. It is highly effective for Ranked Battles because I designed it specifically to defend against Root Riders in the current meta.

It's super easy. Just click the Copy this Layout button under the base you like. It will open Clash of Clans and import the design straight into your layout editor.

Absolutely. All layouts on ClashBaseLink are updated for the 2025 Clash of Clans meta and tested against the latest attack strategies in Ranked Battle, War, and CWL.
