Best TH16 Farming Bases July 2026 — Ricochet Cannon and Storage Protection

Farming at Town Hall 16 in July 2026 benefits from two defenses that most Town Halls don't have: the Ricochet Cannon, which punishes clustered farming troops, and the Multi-Archer Tower, which chips multiple raiders simultaneously. A well-designed TH16 farming base uses both to deter casual farming attackers while keeping DE and storages buried deep enough that only a full committed attack can reach them.

Using the Ricochet Cannon for Farming Defense

Farming attackers at TH16 often use Super Goblins or massed armies that cluster together when targeting storages. The Ricochet Cannon's chain damage is most effective against exactly this type of clustered deployment. Positioned to cover the most common resource-raid approach path — usually the side of the base closest to outer Gold and Elixir storages — the Ricochet Cannon eliminates farming troops before they can reach the inner storage ring. The TH16 farming bases holding best in July have Ricochet Cannon positioned as an active storage guardian, not just a war defense.

Core Layout for TH16 Farming

DE Storage and both DE Drills belong inside the base core at TH16 — behind the second wall layer minimum. Gold and Elixir storages at the outer ring, accessible but protected enough that reaching them costs some troop count. The Multi-Archer Tower in a central position chips aerial farming troops throughout their raid, reducing the effectiveness of Dragon-based resource raids.
