Last Updated: December 10, 2015

The layout of your base can greatly affect the outcome of any war in Clash of Clans. Properly laid bases are very hard to destroy and can stop opposing clan members from getting three stars from you. Rearranging your war base in Clash of Clans is a very easy thing to do and will prove very effective in defending your camp from enemy attacks during a war.

Rearrange your war base. Select the structure you want to move and drag it to the location where you want to place it. Drop the structure on its new location to place it there. You can move any building anywhere within the boundaries of your war base.
4
Remove a structure. If you want to temporarily remove a structure from the map, select the “Erase Mode” button on the lower right corner of the game screen and switch it to “On.” Once Erase Mode has been enabled, select the structure you want to remove, and it will be temporarily placed on the item slots at the bottom of the game screen.
- To bring back the structure you removed, simply select it from the item slot and drag it back to where you want to put it on the map.
5
Remove all items. If you want to temporarily remove every structure from the map all at once, just select “Remove All” from the lower right corner of the screen, just above the “Erase Mode” button. This will put all structures on the map into the item slots at the bottom of the screen. Remember though that you have to put all these structures back on your map one by one after you’ve removed them all.
6
Save your changes and exit. Once you’re done, tap the “Save Village” button on the lower left corner of the screen to save the rearrangements you made on to your Clash of Clans account. Afterwards, select the “Exit” button to go back to the Layout Editor menu.
- Note that you cannot save your changes unless you’ve put all the structures from the item slot back on the map.
7
Set the rearranged layout as your default base. If the war base you edited isn’t the one you’re using, select the “Set as Active” button on the Layout Editor Menu button to use it as your current war base layout.
