The last big update is wreaking havoc

Hey Clashers!

I'm new to the forums but I have seen and used your bases and strategies before - can't thank you enough for that :)
Here's why I'm here. The previous biggest update has really wrecked everything for me. It's just not possible to farm, leaving the TH outside for everyone to just snipe a few trophies and tens of thousands from. I don't care about trophies though, since I don't attack much, I need to be able to hold whatever loot my collectors can cough up. This update is making that hard since people are coming after me with hogs and dragons. No TH8 can stop those attacks. I'm really finding it hard to save up loot to upgrade my archer towers and teslas.

That kind of attack is quite common. So you see my base there. It's a hybrid base. I've tried a few and most of them are worse than this one. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions for improvements?

I'm getting wrecked by farming attacks too. You just have to try to make profit while your shield is up. And I'm usually getting hit for 2k dark elixir with 200k of each.

The base is really pact, with makes it a perfect target for giwiz and gibarch (which are the most common farming strats IMO) so change ur bases to more of a spread out base
Hope it helps bro

Perhaps you should follow the announcements that SC is making on this forum: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...sury-Update%21

Regarding your base, two points. The first is that it is NOT a hybrid. A hybrid is something where you have town hall not in the center but closer to the outside. This allows you to put DE or your clan castle in the center where there is better value for protection. Also, having every single gold storage right next to each other is basically what every raider like myself wants to hit. Basically it's like "hey look at me!! Break into my walls so your goblins can take every bit of gold I have!!". Spread your storages out even if they're close to the edges. A solid defense makes sure you dont lose ALL of the loot, even though you will lose some every time.

Don't put all your gold storages in 1 compartment.
