How to Defend your Base in Valheim (Best Tips)
Here are a few things you should keep in mind and do beforehand to defend your base in case Trolls or other enemies attack.
Surround your base with Stake walls, stone walls or any other type of defensive structure. Sharp Stakes is one such structure that needs 6 Wood and 4 Core Wood to craft. These will deal damage and also give knockback to those creatures or players that interact with the sharp end of it. Stake walls, on the other hand, need 4 Wood to craft.
Make sure you have a Hammer with you so that you can repair the things that get damaged.
Trolls will follow you so the best thing you can do is kite them far from your house. This creature can spawn with a log that will deal AOE damage and also throw rocks at you. So to avoid this damage, lure them away from your base.
You can also create another layer of protective structures so that enemies have a little extra area to destroy before they do some real damage.
Create a Moat around your base which will keep enemies away. Don’t forget to build a bridge so that you can get to your home easily.
You can also set up towers around your home so that you can have a better view of incoming enemies.
