Best TH17 War Base Layout 2025: Anti 3 Star & Meta-Proof! Clash of Clans
Town Hall 17 marks the peak of defensive power in Clash of Clans, especially with the addition of the Defensive Apprentice Warden, Ricochet Cannon, and upgraded Eagle Artillery. In the competitive war scene of 2025, base design has become more critical than ever—one weak spot could mean giving away a 3-Star.
The TH17 War Base design shown above is an excellent example of a meta-proof layout built specifically to counter the most dominant strategies, including Recall + Super Archer Blimp, Electro Titan Smash, and Air Spam with Dragonriders and Hydra.
🛡️ Base Layout & Defense Analysis
1. Town Hall Placement
•The Town Hall is placed slightly centralized, protected by Monolith and Multi-Inferno Towers, making it resistant to Super Archer Blimp and Yeti Bomb approaches.
•Surrounding Air Bombs, Skeleton Traps, and Seeking Air Mines disrupt Recall + Super Archer, one of the strongest meta attacks in 2025.
2. Strong Core Defense
•The Monolith, Eagle Artillery, Scattershots, and Clan Castle are all placed in the core, creating a layered kill zone that drains spells and slows down pushes.
•X-Bows set to both Ground and Air form a defensive ring, ensuring balance against Electro Titan ground smashes and air spam armies.
3. Smart Trap Placement
•Air Bombs & Seeking Air Mines are spread across likely entry points, punishing LavaLoon and Dragonrider spam.
•Spring Traps & Giant Bombs are positioned along key funnel paths to stall or eliminate Electro Titans and Healers.
4. Hero & Pet Defense Setup
•Archer Queen and Royal Champion are positioned near the air defense core to shred air spam.
•Barbarian King is placed on the outer edge to delay funnel creation.
•Grand Warden (Defensive Mode) is placed near the core to maximize damage synergy with Monolith and Scattershots.
⚔️ Effectiveness Against 2025 Meta
✅ Anti Recall Super Archer Blimp → Centralized defenses with strong air traps prevent Archers from dealing sustained damage.
✅ Anti Electro Titan Smash → Multi-layered walls, well-placed Spring Traps, and Infernos slow Titan paths and split their push.

✅ Anti Queen Charge → Inferno + Monolith near main entry points force attackers to burn Freeze & Rage early.
