Builder Hall 8 unlocks the Mega Tesla — the Builder Base's most powerful single-target defense. The Mega Tesla charges up briefly before firing a massive electrical bolt that deals enormous damage to any troop, including the Battle Machine and Super P.E.K.K.A. Two new troops complete the BH8 offensive arsenal: the Super P.E.K.K.A (Builder Base version) is an armored powerhouse with staggeringly high hitpoints and per-swing damage, capable of tanking through an entire base if the support army around it is deployed cleanly; and the Hog Glider is a fast ground unit that leaps over walls entirely, targeting defenses and ignoring the pathing restrictions that slow every other ground troop. In the 2026 meta, Super P.E.K.K.A paired with Cannon Carts is the most reliable BH8 attack — the Super PEKKA walks through ground defenses while Carts output sustained damage from behind its massive health pool. Hog Glider hybrid armies that bypass key outer defenses before the main push arrives are a close second. Anti-ground base designs that force the Super PEKKA to walk through multiple splash layers are essential at this level.

Base Building Tips for BH8
The Mega Tesla is your most valuable defense — surround it with double walls and place it near your Builder Hall so it fires multiple shots at the Super P.E.K.K.A before it's destroyed
Super P.E.K.K.A moves slowly — use Spring Traps on the direct line between base entry and your core to launch it backward and reset the push
Hog Gliders bypass outer walls entirely — inner compartment walls must be just as strong as your perimeter walls to prevent a clean interior raid
Place your Giant Cannon facing the expected Super P.E.K.K.A entry direction — its high single-shot damage is most effective against high-health units
Firecrackers and Air Bombs must still cover the airspace even at BH8 — Hog Glider hybrid attacks often mix Drop Ships as support units
Understanding the current Builder Base attack meta is essential for building a base that holds on Battle Day. Here are the top strategies used against BH8 bases — and how to counter each one.
Super P.E.K.K.A + Cannon Cart Rush
Super P.E.K.K.A in the Builder Base is a walking fortress — its hitpoint pool at BH8 is high enough to survive multiple shots from the Mega Tesla while still moving toward the Builder Hall. Cannon Carts follow behind, firing their maximum DPS from stationary positions while the Super PEKKA absorbs all defensive attention. The Battle Machine flanks with Iron Fist for cleanup. This is the most reliable three-star strategy at BH8 when executed with clean funneling.
Army Composition
How to Execute
- 1
Deploy both Super P.E.K.K.As side by side on the same entry side — they march in parallel and split defensive fire between them
- 2
Behind the Super PEKKAs, drop Cannon Carts immediately — they stop and deal sustained damage from behind the tank line
- 3
The Battle Machine enters on the flank, targeting the Mega Tesla if it is visible, to protect the Cannon Cart line from the highest single-shot defense
- 4
Super PEKKAs walk through outer wall sections — deploy Sneaky Archers on the perimeter to distract remaining outside buildings
- 5
Iron Fist when the Battle Machine drops to 25% health — the reset allows continued tanking while Cannon Carts clear the inner ring
- 6
Super PEKKAs reach the Builder Hall last after clearing the defensive core — the Cannon Cart DPS completes the three-star
How to Counter It
- 🛡
Mega Tesla is your priority defense — place it deep inside the inner ring where the Super PEKKA must destroy multiple wall layers before reaching it
- 🛡
Use Spring Traps on the direct path between base entry and the Mega Tesla — even a single launch backward resets the Super PEKKA's momentum significantly
- 🛡
Cannon Carts in the attack stop moving when firing — they are vulnerable to pushed or redirected by Guard Post troops; place Guard Posts where they intercept the Cannon Cart position
Hog Glider Hybrid
Hog Gliders bypass outer walls entirely, jumping directly to defenses and ignoring the pathing restrictions that slow every other BH8 ground troop. A squad of Hog Gliders can eliminate the Mega Tesla, Giant Cannon, and Double Cannons in the opening seconds before the main ground army arrives. With the most dangerous defenses already destroyed, a single Super P.E.K.K.A supported by the Battle Machine can walk through the remainder of the base freely.
Army Composition
How to Execute
- 1
Identify the location of the Mega Tesla and Giant Cannon — these are the Hog Gliders' primary targets
- 2
Deploy 4 Hog Gliders directly at the Mega Tesla location — they leap over outer walls and reach the inner ring immediately
- 3
Deploy the remaining 2 Hog Gliders toward the Giant Cannon to eliminate both top-tier defenses simultaneously
- 4
With Mega Tesla and Giant Cannon destroyed, deploy the Super P.E.K.K.A on the main entry side — it now faces only lower-priority defenses
- 5
Battle Machine flanks from a different angle using Iron Fist to clear a secondary path toward the Builder Hall
- 6
Drop Ships fly over any remaining walled sections for final cleanup
How to Counter It
- 🛡
Do not place Mega Tesla visible from the base perimeter — if attackers can see it clearly, Hog Gliders will jump directly to it in the first deployment wave
- 🛡
Surround the Mega Tesla with multiple inner wall layers — Hog Gliders target defenses but each wall they must break through costs hitpoints
- 🛡
Position Air Bombs to respond to Drop Ship support units — Hog Glider attackers often mix Drop Ships to handle air-accessible buildings the ground army cannot reach

All layouts in our collection are designed with the current Builder Base attack meta in mind.
4What new defenses does Builder Hall 8 unlock?
What new defenses does Builder Hall 8 unlock?
Builder Hall 8 unlocks Mega Tesla. Mega Tesla is a major upgrade to your defensive capability and changes how attackers approach your base. Total defense count at BH8 reaches approximately 24, significantly increasing the base's defensive depth compared to lower BH levels.
5How do I build the best anti-3-star base at BH8?
How do I build the best anti-3-star base at BH8?
Anti-3-star Builder Bases at BH8 rely on these core principles: the Builder Hall is buried in the most protected central compartment behind at least two wall layers; all top-tier defenses are placed in overlapping coverage zones; traps are hidden in the most predictable troop pathing routes; and the base has no obvious entry side that is significantly weaker than the others. Browse the layouts on this page for proven anti-3-star designs at BH8.
6What is the Battle Day system in the Builder Base?
What is the Battle Day system in the Builder Base?
Battle Day replaced the old Versus Battle system in the 2023 Builder Base rework. Instead of real-time head-to-head battles, you now attack a queue of opponent bases within a set time window (Battle Day). Your attack performance earns Battle Trophies — the higher your star count and destruction percentage, the more trophies you gain. All BH8 bases in our collection are designed to minimize the stars attackers score during their Battle Day raids.
7How often are BH8 base layouts updated on BaseCOC?
