I have received loads of request for TH8 trophy base layouts lately as most Town Hall 8 players want to easily push to Crystal League or even Master League (mainly for the free Gems). Today, I’m going to show you a really nice base from Cybx. This is definitely one of the best layouts that I have seen since the big update!
The Best TH8 Trophy Base Layout
Currently I don’t have any decent TH8 account so I just used my friend’s rushed TH8 account to take the screenshot. Also, please notice that the AS (next to the King) is protecting the Air Defense and the Town Hall.
That’s great If someone can help me take some better screenshot of this TH8 Trophy Base with a decent TH8 village.
How does this TH8 Trophy Base work?
- Push any TH8 from Silver to Crystal League within hours with the bait Dark Elixir Storage. You can swap it with the Elixir Storage next to the Town Hall If you want.
- Excellent Tesla Traps. Most of the time, attack drop a Giant/Hog or couples of Barbarians and try to lure the Clan troops outs, the Teslas pop up and they usually stop doing anything for about 10-15 seconds then just start the attack without luring. Yes, with those 3 Teslas, If the attacker wants to take down all of them, the only way is to drop his kill squad or the main army. This is extremely helpful since most Clan troops can be killed by a double Poison Spell. Also, you know the result when attacker starts a Hog Attack without killing Clan troops, right?
- Dragon Attacks usually start from the right side (behind the Air Sweeper). With 4 Air Bombs, most of them will be stopped immediately.
- Centralized Town Hall can prevent attacker from getting the second star with ease.
- T-Junctions can prevent Wall Breakers from getting more than 1 compartment at a time.
Matchups
Dragons:
- This is not Clan War and the attacker just have 30 seconds to scout this TH8 trophy base. During my test, most Dragon attacks come from the East and will get roasted immediately by 4 Air Bombs and the Air Defense as I have mentioned above.
- All Storages are used as the shield for Air Defenses, also, because of the Air Sweeper, most TH8 attackers don’t want to attack from the West.
- Attacker can’t snipe the Air Sweeper.
- If the attackers are not smart, their Dragons always get spread out.
Hog/Giant/Balloon
The screenshot below represents the Hog Rider, Giant and Balloon pathing of this TH8 trophy base:
- Most Hog/Giant Attacks end up a lose. They will be funneled around the defensive ring and get killed by either Spring Traps or Double Giant Bomb.
- Giant-Healer just can’t work because the centralized AD can easily snipe down all Healers.
- If this base get attacked by Balloons, most of the time there is still 1 Air Defense left, which can snipe down every single Balloon.
Barch/GiBarch
- Barch and GiBarch can easily take down 30% of the base.
- Archer Towers and Mortars can cover the whole base, thus, attackers always need to spend more than 30% of his army even he just want to focus on collectors.
Defense Logs
Currently I don’t have many really solid defense logs of this base. That’s great If you can help me test this base.
Also, you can use this base for Clan War. It is definitely one of the best I have ever seen so far but I think the Tesla trick can be easily countered by the second attack.
Hopefully after reading this post, you will like this TH8 Trophy Base. I am looking for your great feedbacks! Also, don’t forget to share with your friends this base If you like it. Thanks for reading! You rock!
This base looks awesome, but you have a hole next to the clan castle and mortar. One barb/archer can trip both giant bombs.
Hi mate,
Hmm maybe that’s my bad, I didn’t notice that when changing the layout a bit, but you can easily remove that hole by moving the Storage, right?
I’m gonna update the base. Thank you very much!
Hello Will Potter, I really appreciate your work, you’re doing great job. I’ll take some screenshots of your ‘Th8 Trophy Base Layout’ because I’ve maxed th8.

Hey Rizwan,
Thank you very much for the support! Unfortunately I have just changed something in the base (moved walls and Storage to remove the small hole where Double Giant Bomb is placed).
That’s great If you can re-take the screenshots (I am so sorry) and upload them to imgur for the best quality.
Thank you again my friend!
Dear Will Potter,

Nice, thank you very much!
But I think you should rotate your Air Sweeper a bit because it needs to protect the Town Hall and the Air Defense. Cheers xD.
great one! it’s kinda wierd base and it’s really
a tough business doing that stuff..because these kind of bases aren’t like the symmetrical or the ones with a pattern in them.this one is a irregular base and i really appericiate the work of the creator of this base..looks quite hard to do stuff like this.
P.S.no offense rashid i have been getting a feeling that u r writing a letter
My dear blu J
Dont get upset with my way of talking.If we talk with anyone in good manners its not showing off letter writing. If you dont give respect to others than please stop insulting indirect way.Its my humble request to you blu J.I hope you get it if not then rethink about it atleast once.
Take care
Have a good day!
Awesome! I am very glad to hear that you like this base!
one builders hut 3 walls and a dark barrack and yah a dark spell factory is missing
you asked for a decent village here it is
Is there an anti 3 star n anti evrything war base for th8?
any th8 base can be 3 starred. it depend on how smart is the attacker. maybe kyoukai is the best candidate but it can be 3 starred with surgical hog. (someone upload the video on YouTube and I’ve try it by myself)
Please take a look at this mate: http://cocland.com/base-layouts/th8-war-base-kyoukai

Hi Rizwan,
Thank you very much, I will use some of them for the post above. I will not use the first image since it is not really high quality. Thank you very much mate!
You’re most welcome
You are very welcome mate!
Hey Will Potter !!
I am on th8. I have done 75% progress on th8. Only upgrades of gold are remaining. And I don’t anything else to do with my elixer except lab upgrades, so it is wasted. What do you guys think, should I upgrade to th9 and use my elixer on walls, and then upgrades the remaining th8 defenses?
Please let me know 😀
Your opinion will be appreciated
Regards,
Hamza
Yup. I think you are great for Town Hall 9 mate!
Will potter can u plz fix my vilg???
Can u plz help me to fix my vlg
please upload th 8.5 guide in detail with base weights
Hi Kanish,
I have no idea why we should care about weight? Just don’t buy any new defense as well as unlock any new troop and then you will be fine!
Hey will, im just wondering. Whats the difference with a trophy base and a war base? I mean, theyre both after less stars/trophy lost.
Hi Arki,
Nowadays, most TH8 and 9 War Base have exposed Town Halls. The trophy bases always should have centralized Town Hall and the bait DE Storage outside.
I see. Thanks for the enlightenment Will!
You are very welcome Arki!
Honestly I personally think this base is a joke. Maxed th8 except about 40 walls made this base and have been ⭐⭐⭐ each time I have been attacked. I don’t understand how this base is supposed to help me push trophies when all it has done is cause me to lose them.
Can you post those defense logs here? Thank you very much!
It is working pretty well from my end. I am so sorry If you don’t like it.
Yeah
If anyone was attacking the first base it would be an east three star
Will, is it worth trying to push for masters league (in order to get the 5th builder) if my defenses are still th7 level and I am rushing TH9? Or will I just get crushed over and over?
Rushing is very easy after the next update as you can train Clan War army a few times per hour xD. Of course just do it If you want buddy! Offense is always better than defense!
The second picture(the one with the pathing of giant/loon/hog) seems to have a decent TH8 base. Why not use that>
Yo
This is an extremely old layout, but I still find it pretty successful. I three starred this in a friendly challenge before, was not easy, and I was impressed at the layout. Teslas stumped me, bu I decided to let my ks Golem tank starting from the bottom tesla and have it works its way up towards the top-left compartment. Good base design 😀
