TH11 unlocks the Grand Warden and Eagle Artillery. Here are the best TH11 base layouts for war, farming, CWL, and trophy pushing in 2026.
Town Hall 11 is a turning point in Clash of Clans progression. It unlocks the Grand Warden hero (one of the most powerful in the game), the Eagle Artillery (a devastating defense that targets multiple troops simultaneously), and the Inferno Dragon. TH11 is also the first level where Legend League becomes a realistic long-term goal.
What TH11 Unlocks
New Defenses:
- Eagle Artillery — activates after enough troops have been deployed, fires at multiple targets simultaneously
- Inferno Tower (second one) — double Inferno coverage changes how attackers must approach the base
- Additional X-Bow and Air Defense upgrades
New Heroes:
- Grand Warden — an absolute game-changer for attack; for defense, his aura doesn't function, but placing him in the base still wastes attacker resources
New Troops:
- Electro Dragon — a powerful air troop that chains lightning damage
Best TH11 War Base Design
The Eagle Artillery is the star of TH11 defense. It must be placed deep inside the base where it is very hard to snipe — an Eagle Artillery that gets destroyed in the first 30 seconds of an attack removes a massive defensive advantage. Build your entire base compartment structure around protecting the Eagle Artillery.
The best TH11 war bases in 2026:
- Place Eagle Artillery in the center or near-center inner compartment
- Use both Inferno Towers on single-target mode for heavyweight threats like Grand Wardens
- Layer Mortars around the outer perimeter to splash-damage ground pushes
- Center the Clan Castle directly next to the Eagle Artillery for overlapping protection
TH11 Farming Base Strategy
At TH11, the most dangerous farming threat is Queen Walk + Healers targeting your Dark Elixir Storage. Counter this by placing the Dark Elixir Storage in a compartment that is not adjacent to the outer wall — the Queen needs space to walk, so deny her that corridor.
Also prioritize keeping your Eagle Artillery central, since farming attackers sometimes target it with a Blimp to disable the defense before raiding storages.
Best TH11 CWL Base
CWL at TH11 is highly competitive because most clans have multiple TH11 members. Use a tight anti-3 star layout with:
- Eagle Artillery protected by at least 3 wall layers
- Centralized Clan Castle stocked with strong defensive troops (Electro Dragon recommended)
- Traps placed at all entry points to the inner core
