Anti-2 Farming
TH4 Anti-2 Farming Base #3
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Compact layout with all storages tucked safely behind walls. Air Defense sits at the center, staying alive longer against Balloon pushes. Cannons and Spring Traps protect it by catching Giants before they get close. Bombs on the outside block Wall Breakers from cracking the second wall layer. Always fill your CC to hold off Balloon spam.
TH4 Anti-2 Farming Base #2
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
All storages and Town Hall sit locked behind thick wall sections, forcing attackers to chew through defenses before touching your loot. Mortar and Archer Tower team up to grind ground troops, while the central Air Defense gets Cannon and Spring Trap support to stop Giants and Balloons. Always fill your CC to hold off mass Balloon spam.
TH4 Anti-2 Farming Base #1
CC: 1 Valkyrie, 1 Wizard, 1 Minion, 1 Archer
Simple but reliable farming layout that keeps storages safely tucked inside the base. Air Defense holds the center to handle Balloon spam, while Bombs and Spring Traps catch Giants and Wall Breakers before they cause real damage. Solid at shutting down the most common TH4 attack strategies and making two-stars harder to pull off.
Anti-3 Farming
TH4 Anti-3 Farming Base #3
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Town Hall sits outside to bait attackers away from the real prize. Storages stay locked in two walled sections, with defenses grouped tight for stacked damage. The top Mortar gets Archer Tower backup, while the bottom Air Defense sits behind a Cannon and Spring Traps that pop Giants early. Bombs block Wall Breakers from cracking through.
TH4 Anti-3 Farming Base #2
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Open layout with all storages inside walls and swap options to shift which resources get priority protection. Mortar holds the center to stay alive longest against Giant pushes. When Giants and Balloons hit together, Giants get pulled toward Cannons and Spring Traps, keeping Air Defense alive longer. Bombs on the outside block Wall Breakers from cracking the second layer.
TH4 Anti-3 Farming Base #1
CC: 1 Valkyrie, 1 Wizard, 1 Minion, 1 Archer
War
TH4 Anti-2 War Base #3
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Town Hall stays buried deep and tough to reach. The open wall at the bottom throws off attack planning, while heavy Spring Traps on the bottom left pop Giants pushing in early. A Cannon guards the Air Defense, keeping it alive to shred Balloons. Mortar holds the center and grinds ground troops throughout the whole fight. Always fill your CC.
TH4 Anti-2 War Base #2
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Tricky three-section layout with the Town Hall, Mortar, and Air Defense grouped at the core. An open wall path on the bottom right funnels Giants straight into Spring Traps, taking out two instantly. The Mortar keeps grinding ground troops deep into the fight. Always fill your CC for the strongest defense in war.
TH4 Anti-2 War Base #1
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Wide layout with the Town Hall locked at the center. Spring Traps catch Giants as they push inward, and Bombs stop Wall Breakers before they open anything up. Handles Giant-Balloon attacks well and disrupts early pushes before they gain momentum. A solid pick for both CWL and regular clan wars.
CWL
TH4 Anti-3 CWL Base #4
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Wide layout with all defenses tucked inside walls. Spring Traps line the main push paths to stop Giants before they gain momentum, while Bombs take out Wall Breakers before they get close to the Air Defense. Defenses group tight for stacked damage output. Always fill your CC for easy defense wins in CWL.
TH4 Anti-3 CWL Base #3
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Asymmetric layout that throws off attack planning right from the start. All defenses sit behind walls with pathing that confuses troops and breaks clean funnels. Air Defense holds the center with Spring Trap support stopping Giants cold. The Mortar uses walls to stay out of Archer and Wizard range. Tight spacing stacks damage across every attack type. Fill your CC.
TH4 Anti-3 Asymmetric CWL Base #2
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Unusual layout that breaks standard attack patterns and makes it hard to plan anything clean. Mortar sits safely behind walls, staying alive longer to grind ground troops throughout the fight. Double Spring Traps guard the central Air Defense, popping Giants before they get close. CC troops push the three-star out of reach against most ground strategies.
TH4 Anti-3 CWL Base #1
CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer
Clan Castle sits at the center for immediate troop pressure on any attack. Mortar and Air Defense both hold the middle for maximum coverage across the whole base. Town Hall stays outside to lower three-star chances, pushing attackers into low-value paths while defenses cover both ground and air threats throughout the fight.
FAQ
Types of TH4 Base
At Town Hall 4, there are 3 types of bases:
- Farming Base - Designed to protect your valuable resources; gold and elixir storages should be placed inside the base.
- War Base - Designed for use in Clan War to defend against 2-star attacks.
- CWL Base - Designed for Clan War League to defend against 3-star attacks in a single hit.
What is Anti-2 and Anti-3 Star?
- Anti-2 is designed to make it harder for attackers to get two stars. Most commonly used in Clan War and Clan War League.
- Anti-3 is designed to make it harder for attackers to get three stars. Most commonly used in Clan War League.
What is the Best TH4 Clash of Clans Base?
- For Farming, TH4 Anti-2 Farming Base #2 is the best. All storages are placed inside the walls with a 2-tile gap, making them unreachable by Archers and Wizards. For ground strategies, the Mortar and Archer Tower combo deals high damage. Air strategies are also difficult because the Air Defense is placed at the center with defenses surrounding it.
- For War, TH4 Anti-2 War Base #3 is my recommendation. The Town Hall is unreachable, and a Giant bait channel on the left makes it hard for Balloons to clean up.
- For CWL, TH4 Anti-3 CWL Base #3 is the most difficult from my testing. Three compact sections create powerful damage against all troop types.
What is the Best Clan Castle Troops for TH4?
From my testing, 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, and 1 Archer is the best and most annoying combination for attackers. The Baby Dragon deals high damage while the remaining troops handle the ground. I highly recommend always keeping your Clan Castle filled for the best defense.
