What is the best TH4 farming base in Clash of Clans?

The best TH4 farming base places the Town Hall outside walls to sacrifice trophies while protecting storages in walled compartments. Clustered high-DPS defenses like the Cannon, Archer Tower, and Mortar create overlapping fire zones that shred attacking troops before they reach your loot.

How do I protect loot at Town Hall 4?

Place all storages inside separate walled compartments so one breach won't expose everything. Keep the Town Hall outside as a distraction. Position your Mortar and Archer Tower to cover storage zones, and use Bombs to stop Wall Breakers from opening paths to your core.

What CC troops should I use for TH4 farming?

Use 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, and 1 Archer. The Baby Dragon deals splash damage and gains a rage bonus as the only air troop. The Wizard shreds ground swarms, while the Archer picks off stragglers. This combination handles both air and ground threats effectively.

What attacks does this TH4 base counter?

This base counters Giant-heavy attacks with Spring Traps near the Air Defense that launch Giants out of battle. The clustered defenses melt Barbarian and Archer spam, while strategic Bomb placement stops Wall Breakers. The outside Town Hall baits attackers away from your protected storages.

Should I use a farming base or war base at TH4?

A farming base is better at TH4 since upgrading buildings and walls demands steady resources. Farming bases protect loot, while war bases guard the Town Hall for stars. At TH4, war weight is low and war loot minimal, so prioritize resource protection.

Why This Base Works

This is a symmetric design with two big compartments. The storages are split in half between the top and bottom sides.

The Mortar and Archer Towers on top protect the valuable resources. The Air Defense and Cannons at the bottom protect resources too.

The storages in the core can't be reached from the outside.

Trap Placement

Spring Traps: In front of the Air Defense. They kick Giants out before they reach the Air Defense.
Bombs: At the left and right entries. They stop Wall Breakers from opening the second wall layer.

What Attacks Does This Base Counter?

Giant Balloon: Giants can't reach the Air Defense, and the Air Defense and Archer Towers take down the cleanup troops.
Mass Balloon: The Air Defense and Archer Towers form a triangle to stop Balloons.
GiBarch: The core Mortar deals heavy damage to Giants, Barbarians, and Archers.
