Here’s a clear, complete guide to all the main TH17 base types, including which ones are best for naïve attackers, which are best for farming, and which to use depending on whether your base is maxed or only half-upgraded.
ALL Base Types for TH17 & What They Are Best For
Farming Base (Best for Protecting Loot)Purpose: Keep resources safe (gold, elixir, dark elixir).
Good for: Players upgrading buildings/troops, not focusing on trophies.
Features
Town Hall outside or at edge (Town Hall gives little loot, attracts bad attackers).
Storages spread around the base so thieves can’t get everything.
Defenses placed in the core.
Best For
Half-upgraded TH17
Players who want to farm without losing too much loot.
Naïve attackers often fail because they go for the Town Hall but get no loot.
Trophy / Anti-3 Star Base (Best for Defense & Pushing)Purpose: Stop attackers from getting 3 stars.
Good for: Pushing to Legends.
Features
Town Hall deep inside with strong defenses around.
Multi-layer walls.
Traps set for anti-charge and anti-spam attacks.
Strong anti-Queen Charge paths.
Best For
Max or nearly max TH17
Legends League pushers
Not great for
Farming, because storages are often exposed.
Hybrid Base (Best Balance: Defense + Loot Protection)Purpose: Protect both Town Hall and resources.
Good for: Balanced players who farm and trophy push.
Features
Town Hall semi-central
Storages placed in different compartments
Good defensive pathing for enemy troops
Anti-Queen Charge layout elements
Best For
Half-max and almost max TH17
Daily playing players who want best of both worlds
Anti-2 Star Base (Stop attackers from getting 2 stars)Purpose: Make the Town Hall extremely hard to reach.
Good for: Clan war defense, competitive players.
Features
Town Hall in a corner or island compartment
Core filled with traps (invis traps, tornado, giant bombs)
Defenses placed to punish Queen Charges and low-skill attacks
Best For
Max TH17
Clan wars / CWL
Ring Base (Best against spam attacks like Electro Dragon, Witches, Yeti Smash)Purpose: Force troops to walk around and not reach the core.
Features
Big empty space in the middle
Buildings in a circular pattern
Town Hall in the center or offset
Great vs
Naïve attackers who spam troops in one line
Best For
Mid to High-level TH17
Box Base (Simple square design – strong vs beginners)Purpose: Make troop pathing confusing so they split.
Features
Looks like a large box with 4–6 compartments
Town Hall usually bottom or corner
Good against Queen Charge and hybrid attacks
Best For
Half-upgraded TH17
Fighting lower-skill attackers
BEST BASE TYPE FOR YOUR SITUATIONIf Your TH17 is Half-Upgraded:
Farming Base
Hybrid Base
Box Base (easy and effective)Why?
Your defenses are weak, so protecting loot matters more than stopping pros.
If Your TH17 is Almost Maxed:
Anti-3 Star Base
Hybrid Base
Anti-2 Star War BaseWhy?
You can fully utilize strong defenses and trap placement.
If You Face Many Naïve Attackers:
Ring Base
Box Base
Farming Base with TH outsideSpam attackers fail at troop pathing on these layouts.
Summary TableBase Type Good For Best TH17 Level Strength

Hybrid Loot + Defense All Balanced protection
Anti-3 Defense/Trophies Max Stops 3 stars
Anti-2 Wars Max Hard Town Hall access

Want me to choose the PERFECT attack for you?Tell me:
Your hero levels (King/Queen/Warden/RC)
Troops that are maxed
Are you attacking fully max TH17s or lower ones?
I will build a custom attack army + spell setup + step-by-step plan for your account.
You said:
K 71 q70 w46 rc 24
All troop max , lower ones
ChatGPT said:
Great — with K71 / Q70 / W46 / RC24 and all troops max, attacking lower TH17s becomes much easier.
Your heroes are mid-level, but strong enough for the best TH17 attack strategies that DON’T require max heroes.
Below are the top 3 attack strategies PERFECT for your hero levels + full army, spell setup, and HOW to attack step-by-step.
BEST ATTACK FOR YOU (#1): Electro Dragon + Dragon Rider SpamWhy this is best for your account:
Works even if Warden is only 46
Doesn’t require high Queen/King
High success rate vs lower TH17s
Very simple attack → 2-star guaranteed, often 3-star
Army (Most Recommended)9 Electro Dragons
4 Dragon Riders
4 Balloons
2 Rage
6 Freeze
1 Invis (for safety on Town Hall)
Siege: Battle Blimp (or Flame Flinger if TH is far)
Clan Castle:
2 Super Wizards + 1 Yeti
1 Rage
1 Invisibility
How to Attack (Step-by-Step)Step 1 — Funnel
Drop 1 E-Drag on each side to create a path.
Let them clear 3–4 buildings.
Step 2 — Main Army Deploy
Drop all E-Drags in a line
Put Balloon layer in front
Drop 4 Dragon Riders behind E-Drags
Step 3 — Warden & King/Queen
Place Grand Warden on Air Mode with main army
Use King + Queen on one side to help funnel
Step 4 — Rage + Freeze Timing
Use 1 Rage early when E-drags clump
Freeze:
Inferno Towers
Eagle Artillery
Scattershots
Town Hall beamStep 5 — Send Blimp to Town Hall
Use Warden ability when Blimp reaches mid-base
Blimp drops Rage + Invis to delete Town Hall
Step 6 — Cleanup
RC goes last to finish remaining defenses
Use last Freeze on high damage point defenses near RC
Expected ResultEasy 3 stars on lower TH17
Guaranteed 2 stars even on max bases
Works with your hero levels perfectly
BEST ATTACK FOR YOU (#2): Dragon + Dragon Rider (SAFE & STRONG)Easier than E-Drags, more control, great for weak heroes.
Army
