Base 1: Hybrid Farming TH17 Base • Dark Elixir Protection
Hybrid base protects Dark Elixir while making Gold and Elixir harder to steal. Protected Town Hall defenses force attackers to work harder for 2 stars in multiplayer battles.
Base 2: Anti Thrower Legends Base • Anti 3 Star
X-Bows are set to ground mode to target Throwers and help to eliminate heroes before they reach Town Hall.
SEE ALSO: TH17 War Layout where most attacks end at low destruction in Clan Wars and Legends.
Base 3: RC Walk Defense Base • 2x Poison Setup
Heroes placed near Inferno Tower and Monolith will help to counter RC Walks and force extra Invisibility Spells.
Base 4: Invis + Poison E-Dragon Base • Home Village Defense
(Poison+ Invisibility) Tower combination makes electro dragon attacks less effective.
Poison Tower reduces attack and movement speed of Electro Dragons while Invisibility Tower hides Inferno Towers and Town Hall making them retarget and move away from TH.

Base 5: Hybrid TH17 Base • Ground + Air Defense
Hybrid bases will counter both ground+air troops as it creates difficult troop pathing which makes it harder to loot resources (Gold+Elixir).
Base 6: Anti Air Resource Base • Protected Town Hall
Storages are protected around Town Hall while Air Defenses will eliminate Dragons before they can reach valuable resources.

Base 7: Root Rider Defense Base • Anti 3 Star Legends
Rocket Loons are best troops to be used in Clan Castle to defend against Root Riders early before they cause more destruction.
SEE ALSO: TH17 Anti 3 Star War Base to prevent enemies from scoring 3 stars.
Base 8: 2x Rage Core TH17 Base • Anti 2 Star Defense
Storages are spread across multiple compartments forcing attackers to use extra spells or Wall Breakers.
Base 9: 2x Rage TH17 Base • Resource Protection
The only farming bases I find consistently effective are anti Sneaky Goblin layouts.
They work well because many players skip raids that require extra effort even when available loot is high.

Frequently Asked Questions
A strong TH17 farming base keeps Dark Elixir close to Town Hall while spreading other resources across multiple compartments. This makes Dark Elixir harder to reach and less rewarding to target.
No base can completely stop Sneaky Goblins, but good farming layouts from clashcodes.com make loot harder to reach. Most attackers avoid layouts that require extra effort, helping you save resources for upgrades.
RC Walk defense bases place heroes and key defenses near important targets such as Monolith and Inferno Towers. This increases pressure on Royal Champion and often forces additional spell usage.
Effective anti Electro Dragon bases use spread defenses, difficult funneling and defensive combinations such as Poison and Invisibility Towers. These setups reduce chain value and disrupt troop pathing.
