Clash Of Clans is one of the most popular strategy games at present. You can design your base depending on your style of play but focusing on defense will help protect your resources, as well as help you get a high Trophy count.

Here are some types of bases or defenses that you can try on Clash Of Clans.

1. Walling

Walls are important to slow down or funnel opponents into defensive sites in your base. Clashofclans.wikia.com writes that some buildings should be placed outside the walls, such as the Barracks, Dark Barracks, Spell Factory, Army Camps, Builder's Huts and the Laboratory. These will save space as well as immediately provide you with troops at the right areas.

2. Limiting resource storages

It is easier to defend a few storages than try to keep as many resource storages as possible. Expand only after you have properly set up the defense. Set up defensive buildings like Cannons, Archer Towers, Mortars and Wizard Towers. These should be centralized so that unit do not attack and damage these first.

3. Closely-knit defense

Position your defenses close together instead of spreading these out to protect as many buildings as possible. You will be more prepared against giants, balloons and infantry groups when laying out the defensive units and buildings close together. The town hall is primarily protected so you gain Trophies as quickly as possible. The strategy is usually for players who do not need much loot.

4. Farming base

The base type focuses on protecting hard-earned loot. According to Insanewarriorzclan.com, one farming base puts all the loot storage close to the center with a heavy line of defense surrounding it. The town hall is positioned outside the walls to protect the loot primarily. Although you might lose a few Trophies along the way, you get free shield for 12 hours.

5. Hybrid base

The base is a combination of loot-protection and trophy-gaining. The town hall is placed inside the walls. The defense is focused on protecting both the town hall and the loot. These are ideal for beginners and lower level players who wish to earn more trophies and resources quickly.
