Town Hall 10 Max Base: The Ultimate Guide: 1 Minute to Unlock the Strongest Clash of Clans Defense Layouts

If you’ve reached Town Hall 10 (TH10) in Clash of Clans, you know the jump in both offense and defense is significant. A maxed-out TH10 base means you’ve upgraded every structure, wall, troop, and spell available at this level, creating a fortress that’s hard to crack. This ultimate guide will walk you through the essentials of building, upgrading, and defending your TH10 base—plus pro design tips to keep your loot and trophies safe.

What does ‘max base’ mean at TH10? Maxing your base at this stage involves meticulous upgrading of every defense (Inferno Towers, X-Bows, Archer Towers, Cannons, etc.), walls (to level 11 Lava), all resource storages, army camps, barracks, dark barracks, laboratory, spell factory, and both heroes (Barbarian King to level 40, Archer Queen to level 40).

Best TH10 base layouts: defense, war, and farming Choose your layout based on your priorities. For war, opt for anti-3-star designs that separate key defenses like Infernos and Clan Castle. For trophy pushing, use high-damage core bases, and for farming, protect storages with centralized compartments and strong splash damage coverage.

Upgrade order for efficiency 1. Laboratory – so your offense progresses while you upgrade defenses. 2. Army Camps & Spell Factory – boost offense early. 3. Clan Castle – more troops for raids and defense. 4. Spell and Dark Spell Factory – unlock all spell options. 5. Heroes (Queen first, then King) – level balance, keep upgrading whenever possible. 6. Inferno Towers & X-Bows – core defense upgrades. 7. Remaining defenses and traps. 8. Walls incrementally; don’t leave them for last.

As a designer, I can’t stress enough the importance of layout synergy. Every defensive base concept uniquely impacts how attackers approach. Map out the connectivity of compartments; empty spaces can funnel troops away from your core, and symmetric layouts are less effective than asymmetric, confusing attackers and AI alike.

Tips 1:

Rotate your layout every few days to throw off repeat attackers, and always test it in friendly challenges. Remember, visual cues in base design—not just raw firepower—heavily influence attack strategies. Use design tools to pre-plan before investing in major upgrades.
