[Project] Let's build trophy base TH9 (& 10)

Hey, I see there is an abscence of TH10 bases, so I thought I'd chip in. Anyway we're planning a trophy push with my clan next month, I've been trying to design something that would get me to at least masters. I came up with this, since I've been on a push twice and pretty much used the tested designs that are out there, I'm pretty new to trophy bases. Here it is, untested and everything :

What do you think? The plan is to send the hogs (which I imagine are the weapon of choice at Crystal II + up until Master I) around, while infernos and xbows to their thing. The teslas are there for the few that make it through. I managed to get two of my ADs in there, hoping it would be enough to fight away those pesky balloonioners. Is the buffer zone big enough at the sides?
Thanks for the replies, cheers!

This is the variation I am using (Credit to datle (and Huy Vu?) of Ex Cinere)

PROS:

• CC only lured by Hogs or Balloons. An unskilled attacker often assumes that the CC is empty or tries to lure on a point defense that the CC does not cover (Top 2 ATs, Cannon, Tesla, Right side Cannon, Left side Tesla).
• Tested Hog ring. The super-centralized X-Bows are placed so that Hogs will never travel into the core.
• Traps along Hog Ring. Two sets of double bombs fry up some lv 4 bacon and the six spring traps make pigs fly!
• Upward X-bows deter Balloonion attacks.
• Can be switched easily for Farming (DE, TH, and Elixir all rotate).

CONS:

• Not perfect CC placement. There are designs made which keep CC from being lured even with hogs/loons.
• Uneven point defense. Notice the lack of ATs on the bottom. I think this is countered by the condensed WTs, but I have yet to be attacked by Balloons.
• Exposed Elixir. I suppose they can be switched with the Gold for cup hunting, but I love Gold...
• Untested in Masters
• Not all Walls used (2 in the middle next to TH)

Here are some defenses.


NOTE: Most losses occurred at night after multiple wins. My traps had all been set off and twice my X-Bows were empty.

I am only my way to Masters to farm Dark Elixir and will post more logs then. If anyone viewing this thread is in masters, please test this if you are able.

Also, anyone interested in fixing some of these Cons, please post your design here.

Please offer criticism.

Thanks DeCoursey keep testing and try and get a win ratio at the end. I tried that base for a few days but was losing too many resources. I feel the core is just to large and any breach into that core all storages were wiped. I am testing a variation of <3 <3 base you posted right now. The storage's seemed a bit exposed so I've been tweaking the defenses, traps, storages and the design slightly as I see fit. I will be pushing next period so I know I'll at least be crystal 1, hoping to hit masters this time. I record all my defenses and figure out the win ratio at the end. So far so good, I too lose often when the traps are all triggered already. Feel free to check the design out DeCoursey I know you have me on GC.

I never had it breached and am currently testing another up in Masters. Il follow you on GC as well.

You have higher walls than me, that may been something to do with it, they would drop several giants and wb and rage into the core. Hey I just noticed you changed your base lol

Another one of his bases. Yes I stalk him a bit. He visited our clan for a bit so I got to learn from him.
Big plus on this one is that the CC is unlurable even by hogs or bloons.

I've decided to give this a go because it looks so wild. I've never once tried pushing for trophies. Any tips with this base? Did you make any adjustments?

I run it just as is. The KEY ​to winning on defense with this base is a full CC. Make sure your clan is giving you Wizards or Minions.

Just FYI this base is very ineffective. It is extremely easy to 2 star from the north with baloonians. Also, you will lose resources at extreme rates. I lost 2.6 mil elixir in about an hour and half after logging off. I do not recommend

cc troops should screw up the enemy attack, upwards xbows kill balloonin, and any base with elixir out will suffer the same elix loss

I mean, feel free to try it if you'd like. It just isn't effective.

One of my best anti-hog layouts ever!
It's a farming design, but can be switched easily to a trophy base.
