TH8 Anti-2 Ranked Battle Base
CC: 3 Valkyries and 1 Archer
TH8 Ranked Battle base that counters Dragons and Hog Riders. Box layout with evenly spread defenses. Clan Castle and King separated to force tough entry choices. Triangle Air Defenses slow Dragon attacks while Giant Bombs and Springs punish Hogs. Consistent low-star defenses.
TH8 Anti-2 Farming Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 farming base that protects loot and trophies. Town Hall and storages centralized inside walls with no free loot exposed. Triangle Air Defense formation for max coverage — counters Dragon spam effectively. Core stays protected.
TH8 Anti-3 Farming Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 farming base built to stop three-stars while protecting Dark Elixir. Town Hall on edge to centralize DE storage deep inside with heavy defense. All storages well covered inside layout. Discourages farming raids — reduces clean triple risk.
TH8 Anti-2 Trophy Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 trophy base for climbing ranks. Town Hall and Clan Castle centralized for strong core. Air Sweeper pushes Dragons to bottom side, forcing longer path toward Air Defenses. Giant Bombs intercept Hog Rider paths. Forces one-star or low-percentage two-stars.
TH8 Anti-2 War Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 anti-2 war base for CWL and competitive wars. Ring layout with intentional empty spaces — troops walk perimeter instead of entering core. Air Defenses positioned for max Dragon coverage. Giant Bombs punish Hog Riders. Makes consistent two-stars difficult.
TH8 Anti-3 CWL Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 anti-3 CWL base with compact box layout. Funnels Dragons toward Town Hall so they hit Air Defenses last, reducing their value. Bombs and Giant Bombs punish Hog Riders. Forces unfavorable attack path — reduces clean three-stars in CWL.
TH8 Anti-Dragon CWL Base
CC: 1 Dragon and 1 Balloon
TH8 anti-dragon CWL base with symmetric box layout. Triangle Air Defenses at center while outer buildings force Dragons to drift sideways. Black Mines inside core eliminate Balloon support. Air Sweeper guides attacks into bad paths — often results in only one star.

FAQ
Q: What is the best TH8 base layout in 2026?
A: It depends on your goal. For Ranked Battles, the Anti-2 Ranked Battle Base with triangle Air Defense setup works best. For CWL, the Anti-Dragon CWL Base handles mass Dragons while the Anti-3 CWL Base stops Hog Rider attacks.
Q: What is the best TH8 base for Ranked Battles?
A: The Anti-2 Ranked Battle Base is designed specifically for Ranked Battles. Separated Clan Castle and King force tough entry choices while triangle Air Defenses and Giant Bombs counter both Dragons and Hog Riders.
Q: How do I counter Dragons at TH8?
A: Place your 3 Air Defenses in a triangle so attackers can only Lightning one. Use Air Sweeper to push Dragons into Air Defense range. Put Seeking Air Mines near Air Defenses. Request Dragon + Balloon in CC to distract enemy Dragons.
Q: How do I counter Hog Riders at TH8?
A: Use Double Giant Bomb placements in common pathing areas. Bomb Tower helps with death damage when destroyed. Spread defenses so Hogs take longer to path through. CC troops like Valkyries destroy Hogs fast.
Q: What is triangle Air Defense placement?
A: Triangle placement spreads your 3 Air Defenses so attackers can only Lightning Spell one of them. This forces Dragon attackers to deal with 2 active Air Defenses throughout the attack, significantly reducing their success rate.
Q: What is the best TH8 war base for CWL?
A: The Anti-Dragon CWL Base is best for CWL if your clan faces Dragon attacks. For Hog Rider attacks, use the Anti-3 CWL Base. Both bases use strategic trap placements for CWL's single-attack format.
Q: What CC troops are best for TH8 defense?
A: For most bases: 1 Dragon + 1 Balloon provides air distraction and cleanup. For Ranked Battles: 3 Valkyries + 1 Archer destroy ground troops fast. Dragons in CC counter enemy Dragon attacks effectively.
Q: Are these TH8 bases updated for current meta?
A: Yes, all TH8 bases were updated in January 2026. They're tested against latest attack strategies including Mass Dragons, Hog Riders, GoWiPe, and various spam attacks in Ranked Battles, War, and CWL.
