What is your clan name called?
Or how many wins do you have? Specifically with this base.

my clan name is "freedumb fightr" i have 41 defense wins, i believe 6 of those were from a previous base layout. so 39 wins overall. many of those wins were right at 45-48% so it was close, but the trap layout is what seals the deal.

Base looks great mavios, thanks! I'm going to clan push soon in hope to get to master.

Heres my base:

Any advice at all? Thanks :)

Looks good u may give it a go myself

That log you posted...a hog attack got 82% on you. Sure, it was one star, and not much loot, but why was it 82, did the attacker run out of time? 82 is a bit too much, no matter the loot taken.

As a TH9 that shows good design!
I got 89% one starred twice by hogs on my push.
That's EXEMPLARY for a TH9 with a bad base like me.
Preventing two stars is basically what you are looking for.

Great Base!

A transformer base sounded like the perfect choice for me since I'm in a clan where we frequently do a trophy push, so switching between modes was essential for me.

I'm happy to present to you My TH9 transformer base design: THE BLACK WHOLE

1- Farming/ Casual trophy hunt mode
Be prepared to turn your defense log into a boring TH snipe or DE zap with this mode (tested at farming range 1700-1800, see http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...l=1#post995547 for logs).

I was able to maintain a DE amount in excess of 100k for three weeks now

2- Anti Hog mode V1.0
Hogs are the most common troop used past 2450 cups nowadays. This variation by no means is meant to win you cups, as I learned from using hogs that level 4 are good enough to 100% any TH9. This base variation is meant to divert hogs from the core into the outside layer of defenses. All trap placement have a very high probability of being triggered, weakening the hogs when they try to take out the core last were those teslas and x-bow (working as a tank building more than anything) can rip them apart leaving TH protected and preventing a second star

2- Anti Hog mode V2.0

With last update, traps became much stronger. So i thought about doing a V2.0 where hogs are hit extremely hard with those giant bombs. With this variation I had 4 wins out of 4 till now
