Clash of Clans - How to Defend Your Village
If you want to successfully defend your village in "Clash of Clans", there are a few rules you should follow. We have the best tips for defending your village.
What do you want to defend?
In Clash of Clans, defending resources, cups, or both requires different tactics at the same time.
- To protect your resources, you should keep them inside your village. Attackers cannot directly capture you there. The camps are placed in the center of the village, the most important mines in the outermost ring within the wall.
- For the defense of cups you should place your town hall in the middle of your village. To be on the safe side, you can put your resources on the outside of the map. Attackers will mostly be satisfied with this after successful raids.
- Defending trophies and resources at the same time is no easy task. You can place both your town hall and your warehouse in the middle of your village. Depending on how many resources you have in stock, you will become attractive prey for attackers.
Basics of village building
You should take these tips into account, no matter which buildings in your village you want to protect.
- Leave space between your buildings. The longer enemy units have to run, the longer your defenses can attack them. It is best to always leave 2 fields next to a building empty.
- Do not place resources all in the same place in your village. Alternate, for example, elixir and gold sites or distribute them evenly around your village.
- Place defense systems next to resources. Many units attack either only resources or only defenses. In the event of an attack, they must continue to run and are shot at by their defenses during this time.
- Wall defenses and resources together. Attackers have to break through more walls than if you can reach all defenses directly.
- Plan gaps in your walls. Opposing units always take the shortest route to your destination. By placing gaps in your walls, you can extend walking distances and pave the way with bombs and traps.
- Distribute mine launchers and air defense evenly! These important defenses should best be spread all over the village.
