Because you can push the tesla 1 tile back so it gets 1 tile further from the mortar than the xbow was. 1 tile can make the difference. Maybe 1-2 hogs can still jump in (happened in my case) but that wont be enough to take out your core.Quote:

Just got attacked by hogs again. They managed to get 70% but not the core, which is acceptable I would say (not easy to defend against hogs as TH9).
The giant bombs is a bit of "flip the coin thing). In two attacks (that I won) no spell used where i had the giant bombs, so hogs were dead. In the one I just mentioned above, the attacker threw a heal spell right where the bombs were even before hogs got there so they survived.
OK, gonna try that :)Quote:

It will be better for the next push, and hopefully soon enough when I will hit TH10 with those ♥♥♥♥ing overpowered IT :D
Right now, I'm sitting at 2600 cups. Base hold really great against giant/healer, mass hogs, but not that great against skilled balloonions (should have a maxed AD to validate this point though).
Agreed, it's a flip coin but in the end a maxed core makes smoked bacon.Quote:

The base should work in the same way against balloons (considering that loons, like hogs, go for defenses). I had a defense where loons did exactly that, going around the base avoiding the core. I lost at 53% because of minions and I had xbows pointing down. Since then I have them pointing up. My AD and AT are still TH8 level.
I am farming now, so I have put TH outside, switched DE in the center where TH was, and added a mortar in the core. You can do the same if farming, or if hunting and you can take DE out of the core and add a defense there (mortar or AD, your choice).
Here is my defense log since I switched to farming mode (around 2300 cups range): Since TH is outside i will put the data in % and if DE lost (as DE has now the spot of the TH)
1. 10 giants, 10 WB, 90 barch, 47 minions, 5 spells: 42%. Lost DE
2. 27 hogs, 35 archers, 2 PEKKAS, 5 spells: 41%, no DE lost
3. 21 hogs, 2 healers, 10 wizes, 40 barch and goblins, 4 spells: 37%; No DE lost
4. 17 loons, 20 minions, 4 giants (weird combo), 27%. No DE lost
5. 22 hogs, 4 giants, 20 barch, 9 wizes, 3 spells: 38%, no DE lost.
6. 18 giants, 62 archers, 11 WB, 3 wizes, 24 gobs, 2 healers, 6 minons, 1 drag, 5 spells: 59%, no DE lost.
7. 32 hogs, 37 archers, 12 wizes, 4 spells: 77%, no DE lost.
8. 80 barch, 1 pekka, 9 giants, 9 wb, 1 healer, 2 drags, 5 spells: 41%, no DE lost.
Adding more defenses:
9. 20 giants, 1 lvl4 healer, 72 arch, 10 wb, 19 min, 21 gobs; 2 spells - 48%
10. 12 giants, 6 wb, 2 lvl4 healers, 55 archer, 14 hogs, 5 wizes, lvl 8 heroes, 2 spells - 50%
11. 89 arch, 124 gobs, 5 wizes, 11 wb, 1 spell - 38%
12. WORST DEFEAT: 2 lvl3 golems, 4 lvl4 Pekkas, 15 arch, 5 wizes, 13 hogs, 5 WB, lvl15 heroes, 5 spells. 93%.
13. 11 giants, 65 arch, 5 wb, 2 lvl4 healers, 5 wzes, 1 drag, 28 gobs, lvl15 BK. - 37%
14. 36 loonw, 66 archers, 1 drag, lvl10 BK, 5 spells - 56 %. No DE lost
15. 16 giants, 7 WB, 2 lvl4 healers, 2o minions, 28 barbs, heroes, 3 spells (F**** used them to zap my DE) - 46% (I won and my TH was outside lol). I did not have CC for this one.
16. 41 hogs, 40 archers, hereos, 1 spell (he did not have time to use all spells) - 28%. A win even with TH outside.
During this time I am constantly upgrading 1 tesla and 2-3 AD.
So, if we consider De as the TH and looking at % lost, Out of 8 attacks of different types,
2 1" losses and 6 wins. Pretty well if you ask me.
To point out also that, even though I am in C2 at the moment, most of those were revenges from Master players. Also I am upgrading 2-3 defenses during this time
Edit:
Switching to trophy mode, got attacked last night by hogs. won at 42%. It was funny how the attacker dropped the heal spell towards the core thinking that hogs would jump there after taking the mortars, instead hogs going out again. this is what I like about this base, it does not look like antihog.
I had a good antihog-layout during my last push, but problem with that was that it was very evident it was anti-hog so it kept hoggers away, and then a looner would come and win.
Another tweaking i have made to the base is to push DE storage out of the core (if you dont have too much), put a mortar in its place, and put a WT in the mortars place. then make sure the two giant bombs are close to that WT. I just realized that two level3 giant bombs are not enough to kill maxed hogs, so you want that WT to add to that damage too.
Another (semi)win of my defense. Full hog attack and 5 spells. Managed to get 50% by picking the buildings on the outer layer but none of the storages.
Looks nice--will test it out once I push.
