Town Hall 9 Base Layout (TH9)
Town Hall 9 is one of the trickiest stages in Clash of Clans. You've just unlocked the Dark Elixir Storage, Air Sweeper, and the fearsome Golem and Witch, but your Town Hall is also a juicy target — TH9 sits right in the range where attackers bring serious three-star army compositions like GoWiPe, Hog Riders, and Mass Dragons. A well-built base is the difference between losing half your Dark Elixir overnight and holding attackers to a frustrating one-star raid.
Below is a curated set of TH9 layouts covering the situations that matter most: War Bases built to protect your Town Hall and stall for time, and Trophy/Defense Bases built to hold up against farming raids, Hog Rider trains, and air attacks. Tap "Copy Base" to open any layout directly in-game.
Trophy / Defense Bases
Base 1
Defense / Trophy
A tight, centralized core keeps the Town Hall, Clan Castle, and both Dark Elixir structures compartmentalized behind multiple wall layers. Air defenses are spread across all four quadrants, which helps against Balloon and Lava Hound raids as well as ground-based Hog Rider attacks.
Copy Base →Base 2
Defense / Trophy
This layout funnels troops toward overlapping Wizard Tower and Mortar splash damage, making it especially punishing for minion swarms and low-HP horde attacks. The Clan Castle is placed to snipe troops the moment they cross the outer wall ring.
Copy Base →Base 3
Defense / Trophy
A compartmentalized design that separates resource storages from the Town Hall, so even a partial breach doesn't guarantee a full loot raid. Strong against Giant-Healer pushes since the healer has to cross exposed ground to keep the tanks alive.
Copy Base →Base 4
Defense / Trophy
Air Sweeper placement redirects Balloons and Minions away from the core, buying extra time for Air Defenses to fire. A solid pick if you're frequently hit by air-heavy trophy pushers.
Copy Base →Base 5
Defense / Trophy
A hybrid layout balancing resource protection and trophy defense. The double-walled core forces attackers to commit heavy siege support before they can even threaten the Town Hall, which often deters low-effort trophy raids entirely.
Copy Base →War Bases
War Base 1
Clan War
Built specifically to resist a one-, two-, or even three-star loss. The Town Hall sits in a fully enclosed inner compartment surrounded by X-Bows and the Clan Castle troops, forcing attackers to burn a full army just to break in. A strong pick as your clan's "anchor" base in war lineups.
Copy Base →War Base 2
Clan War
Designed around trap saturation — Giant Bombs and Spring Traps are tucked behind likely breach points to punish GoWiPe and Hog Rider war attacks. Good for clans that regularly face Golem-based three-star attempts.

How to get the most out of these layouts
- Upgrade the Air Sweeper early. TH9 is when Balloon and Lava Hound attacks spike, and a well-placed Sweeper can push troops away from your Town Hall entirely.
- Don't neglect Dark Elixir defense. Your Dark Elixir Storage is a prime target — keep it in the innermost compartment behind your strongest defenses.
- Rotate traps. Once opponents scout a base a few times, they start remembering trap locations. Swap Giant Bombs and Spring Traps between attacks when possible.
- Use the Clan Castle wisely. A well-timed Clan Castle troop pull (Witch, Valkyrie, or Wizards) can wipe out an entire wave of attacking Hogs or Minions.
- Match the base to the situation. Trophy pushing rewards compartmentalized, splash-damage-heavy bases, while war bases should prioritize Town Hall protection and stalling for maximum defensive percentage.
- Watch replays. After a few defenses, check your battle log to see exactly where attackers are breaking in and adjust wall placement accordingly.
FAQ
What's the best TH9 base for trophy pushing?
Look for a compartmentalized layout with the Town Hall centered and overlapping splash damage from Wizard Towers and Mortars — Bases 1, 2, and 3 above are built with this in mind.
What makes a good TH9 war base?
A strong war base isolates the Town Hall in its own compartment, spreads defenses to prevent single-point funneling, and uses traps to punish predictable attack paths like Hog Rider trains or Golem pushes.
