What are some effective base designs for Clash of Clans?

Effective base designs in Clash of Clans often prioritize well-protected storages, a centralized Town Hall, and clever placements of defenses for maximum coverage. A good base layout will usually have a compartmentalized structure, making it harder for enemies to reach the heart of the base, while funneling troops into areas filled with traps or under heavy fire from defensive buildings such as Wizards Towers and Mortars. Clan Castles are ideally situated in the center so that the Clan Castle troops can engage attackers from any direction. It's also crucial to protect key defenses like Air Defenses and Inferno Towers to thwart common attack strategies. Additionally, outer layers are designed to hinder wall breakers and delay enemy troops, buying time for defenses to deal more damage. The best bases evolve with a player's progress and are often tailored to defend against the most prevalent attack strategies at their current level of play.
