Best TH5 War Base Layouts with Copy Links (2026)

Looking for a TH5 war base that actually holds? These are our 3 best war layouts for Town Hall 5 in 2026. Every base has a one-tap copy link, so you can load it into your village in seconds. All three are tested and updated for the current balance.

Base Type Best against
TH5 Anti-2 War Base #1 Anti 2 Star Ground attacks (Giants + Wizards)
TH5 Anti-2 War Base #2 Anti 2 Star Balloon parades and Wizard groups
TH5 Anti-3 War Base #3 Anti 3 Star Mixed ground and air attacks

TH5 Anti-2 War Base #1

CC: 1 Valkyrie, 1 Balloon, 2 Archers

TH5 war base with box layout, Town Hall and Clan Castle at the core, stacked defenses, and CC troops shredding ground pushes.

A box-style layout with the Town Hall and Clan Castle both locked in the center. Attackers must fight through the whole core to reach either one, and most ground attacks bleed out before they get there.

TH5 Anti-2 War Base #2

CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer

TH5 war base with four-section layout, deep centered Town Hall, clustered core defenses, and open walls slowing down attack planning.

Four compartments protect the core Town Hall, the Mortar covers the whole top side, and open walls on the flanks confuse ground pathing. Red Air Bombs sit right where Balloon parades fly.

TH5 Anti-3 War Base #3

CC: 1 Baby Dragon, 1 Wizard, 1 Archer

TH5 war base with isolated Mortar for full coverage, guarded Town Hall, Wizard Tower grinding Giants, and split Air Bombs stopping Balloons.

The Mortar sits alone so it can't be sniped early, Wizard Tower crossfire punishes Giants between compartments, and split Red Air Bombs hit Balloons from every angle. A clean 3-star is very hard here.

TH5 War Base FAQ

What is the best TH5 war base?

TH5 Anti-2 War Base #2 is the best pick for war. Its four-section layout keeps the Town Hall deep in the center with the Air Defense, Wizard Tower, and Cannon clustered around it, so a two-star finish is a real challenge. Air Bombs catch Balloon waves and Bombs punish grouped Wizards pushing in.

Tap any "Copy this Layout" button on this page. The game opens by itself and asks where to save the base. You need a free layout slot in your village.

What is the difference between anti-2 and anti-3 war bases?

An anti-2-star base protects the Town Hall so attackers only get one star. An anti-3-star base spreads out defenses so a full clear is hard, but the Town Hall is less protected. For most TH5 wars, anti-2 is the safer pick.

Are these TH5 war bases free?

Yes. Every base on ClashBaseLink is free, with working copy links, and we add new ranked bases every month.
