This time we build two bases. One Th9 and a variant of it with the fernos and other TH10 goodies. Or two entirely different bases.

From my recent experience in near 3k cups, for 24xx-27xx one needs a hogring and adequate bloon protection. Sometime after 2800, golems start pouring in with wizards and witches. So maybe we need 4 bases after all...

And as usual, no fighting or arguing. Everyone are welcome to join and pitch in.

Honestly, I was using your layout at 2500-2600 and it was doing pretty well. Granted, I dropped down shortly after hitting Masters because all of the layouts I used plus the raiding bankrupted me. The TH position is probably the only major weakness I see. It's fairly simple to get to, although, it is solid against hogs/giants. No miniball attacks while I was up there though.

I'm bookmarking this thread.

When i get my computer back from repairs, I'm going to post my slew if trophy bases in the hopes that they help us make a new one.

So i was farming dlix up in crystal. I was losing cups AND dlix. Rubbish. So i built an anti-hog base, as a couple of hog attacks destroyed me. And my defense log was transformed. Anyway. Ill show you it and then explain. http://i.imgur.com/qaGDA7B.jpg
So at first glance, ok the troop received thingy is all over the screen, but its the only pic i got.
At first glance, you think, ok now while clearly anti-hog, is it not very susceptible to wbs? Thats when i laugh and shake my head. Because it seems that the WBs will go anywhere but the moat. Why? Because there isn't anything there. So they have to hit the outer pocket, then both side distraction pockets, then the moat, THEN the core. What do you think? The air bombs are there because i had a mini scare with balloonions who nearly if it werent for the tankyness of the cc got my DE. So i covered the core with minion killers:)

I used one of these bases a few months ago during my clan's push and it got stomped by everything but hogs. Granted, my defenses weren't nearly as far along as they are now. That's not to say it's a bad design, though, as I've seen people in Crystal I and Master with similar layouts. Mostly all TH10s with those damn disco infernos, though.

Eh? Ehhh?

Thing is, though, it DOESNT get stamped by all other attacks. Only ever been 2 starred once, and about 5 one stars. Granted this was only ats crystal 3, but i have very low level defenses as you can see in the picture

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt since there are a lot of people using similar layouts. However, within minutes of changing to that layout I was 3 starred (not by hogs) and I immediately started searching for a different option. I didn't give it much of a chance.

Toby, I must say that's pretty impressive. At first glance it definitely looked easy to breach the core, but obviously your logs prove otherwise.

Wait, this particular layout? Or just another anti-hog base? Please dont generalise that all anti-hog bases are rubbish if you haven't tried my one

Similar. I haven't tried your particular base. But the same general concept with the moat and 4 compartments surrounding. I'm not generalizing, just stating my experience, albeit brief, with that type of base.

I just this base i hope it works i ee minions and balloons r possibly a weakness but hogs just get confused

Okay, so lets rationalize our thoughts here.

I think a "good" base should win defenses with active traps and a full cc up past 2700 (my only experience).

This base should also win anything below 2400 regardless of traps and cc.

However, any knowledgeable attacker can one star a base. 50% is easy to get. I think our realistic expectations of a base should be to be only 1 starred past 27-2800 and never 3 starred in masters. Fair?

Here are my favorite bases.

http://i.imgur.com/A9dNO5Q.png
♥♥ took this base to champs. He claimed to be 3 starred every time he logged off. I dont know if this is to be expected at that range, just stating the fact.

http://i.imgur.com/peqEqkt.png
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.

http://i.imgur.com/L2NMHHg.png
I took this one to 2725. When I say that, what I mean is that I won two defenses to get me there, gaining nearly 50 trophies. This is the one I trust the most due to my use of it. Its one of Pingfao's old designs with double bombs for hogs.

http://i.imgur.com/kCA6gWY.png
This is just a design I came across while looking at some top clans. Of course the Elixir will switch with Godl when cupping, but this seems to be a good anti-hog design.

http://i.imgur.com/dKS8rvQ.png
This is another design from Exodias. It is an anti-hog design that was featured in one of their push videos. Seems to perform well. IMO the TH is too accessible but to each his own.

http://i.imgur.com/NXNBy0V.png
Another design from ♥♥. It is anti hog, but pre-trap update. I saw screens that he took it to 2800.



Now I am NOT a base designer.

I am much better and tweaking bases and offering criticism and testing bases. Does anyone see anything in one of these bases that can be implemented to make a TH9 trophy base? I would be happy to test and experiment with it on my next push.

Let's keep going then guys. Are we going for a moat to keep them hogs out? Or are we compartmentalising it? Are we going for appearing tough and hard to beat? Or ludicrously easy looking, to get the noobs to give us some cheap cups? Lets start spawning ideas

I'm currently testing a variation of one of the bases I posted earlier.

Should be nice to see how it turns out and then finally try out some of these TH9 bases that are built, always looked forward to it as a TH8.

Nice to see another Sig on these boards!

IHSV.

I posted in the other "Lets build.." thread, but on reflection, now that i've gone all hybrid, this is probably the better place for it:


Ok so this base has been doing really well. I've edited it to be a hybrid though as the clan I was in was having a push, but it's still the same concept.

The only issue is that as with any hog base your somewhat reliant on traps, bombs and to a lesser extent cc troops. This base keeps preventing 40% so i don't get a shield even up at 2700+trophies but if the next attack is all hogs I'm losing 2 stars.

On the whole though its excellent, but I'm gonna say that, I designed it lol.

I'd love if someone could try it out and offer some feedback. (FYI i missed a pic out but its the same pattern. Win, win (no more traps and bombs) loss

YEah TH9s will get three starred in champs. Mala's base in exodias (check the end of TF2CHicky (Junliang)'s last video)) and s.s's second base that you have DeCourseyy are in my opinion the best anti-hog bases.

But thats preferable to one big hog loss. Generally speaking a defence win followed by a loss will result in positive trophies.

Hey Toby nice to see you.

Yeah, as i say its worked at any trophy level i've been at, but just want either a shield after the first attack, or to be less reliant on bombs/traps for hogs

Just saw this one in another thread (credits go to 5aboor). Looks very effective! What do you guys think?

http://i42.tinypic.com/2mfbxiv.jpg

How about like other threads we start with a core and then move on to the outer regions. Am I right in saying that the primary focus is anti loon/hog?

I also also like the idea of starting with a core. I personally like the core in this base i recently designed. Basically how this core works is hogs will hopefully only enter the core through one point, and i choose this point by allowing a "slip" in my anti-defence ring. That allows me to be able to control where the hogs enter the core, so i can funnel them reliably. So of course i put 2 giant bombs and a wizard tower(in case i need to finish them off) to meet the hogs. My hope is that when someone mindlessly spams all their hogs at the bottom of the base the hogs will never target the two side archer towers and instead try to get into the core and be turned into bacon! There is a fine balance between funneling the hogs into the core from the bottom and keeping the hogs from entering the core from a different point if they are deployed at the top. I like the outside of my base because it does a good job with that.
Hogs could still potentially 3-star this base but i wont be sharing the way that could happen for obvious reasons. I think this design would be able to hold of a balloon minion attack. Personally i would switch the mortars out with the air defence in the non-defensive ring up untill around 2300 throphies to help fend off attack strategies more commonly used up untill then. The air defence probably would be needed after then to help with air attacks. This new kind of anti hog core should work but it hasn't been tested :P. I do not know if anyone else has tried anything like this before so i may be making a fool of myself by posting this.

Im testing Dattle's right now and it's proving impenetrable. Search my clan and IGN for my variation.

I like the look of that base as well. Really all those you posted look tough. Record your defenses and post a win ratio? :)

I like the idea of this :D i also tried something like this, but couldnt get it to work. Kudos for that:) in fact, at first i didnt read all your post and just looked at the base, and i looked and i thought, ohhh probably should move those ADs out a bit. But then i realised. Ahhh! Very clever. I like it

I am not the best base builder, similar to DeCourseyyy, I am better at testing and reviewing them but I decided to give it a shot. It's only the core/hogring, but I think it may be too large to finish the exterior. Anyone have any ideas on a way to finish this? Or any immediate issues you notice?

Here ya go.

http://i.imgur.com/t1QJqih.png

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.

http://i.imgur.com/ThgpibJ.png

http://i.imgur.com/yunxOXl.png

http://i.imgur.com/ylzYw9b.png

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.

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 :

http://i40.tinypic.com/mwxg7n.png

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!

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

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

One of my best anti-hog layouts ever!

Hey guys, just thought I would chirp in here with a base I just threw together. It takes some aspects from others bases that I find desirable. For example I took Pingfao's current core as inspiration.
As I said I just sort of plonked it together so I know it's far from optimal so criticism is both expected and welcome!

Thanks!

I like your base, however it lacks many anti-hog aspects.

Yer the only anti hog aspect really is the double bombs. However I don't seem to get many hog attacks, so decided to try defend against more general armies (understand that if it is successful in gaining trophies I will inevitably face the dreaded bacon mongers). Just altered it round a little more as well. Just playing round and hopefully giving other people some ideas to work with

http://imgur.com/GA0ReEj

Thanks for the input Decoursey.

P.s I was meaning to post on your farming in masters thread. Do you find many inactive bases that far up? Would quite like to try it.

I do find a few. You have to search for them and by that I mean have a complete disregard for gold. I have spent upwards of 400k searching for the right attack.

Currently I'm thinking a lot about a new base with no safe spot to kill heroes and cc. Still in thinking phase though. Without the ability to kill heroes and cc, almost any attack has no guarantee to win.

I disagree, the main aspect of anti hog is a ring of defenses for the hogs to follow while they are killed by xbows in the core. Double bombs just help kill quicker unless they are healed.

^This

Double bombs are great if they are paired with a great anti hog base.

---

Not seeing the 2 star situation, but it bleeds resources like no one's business. You are 100% right on the elixir loss...I'm gonna look for something else.

But the replays are a ♥♥♥♥ ton of fun to watch, aren't they? Very cool. Whoever the original designer was gets mad props from me :D

---

I wasnt saying double bombs are THE main aspect, simply that was the only thing in my base design that was slightly reminisent of an anti hog base. Of course the main aspect is a circle of defenses with a layer of non defensive buildings behind them with a strong core.

Ill be interested to see your idea, i like your infinity base and tried it out, unfortunately i had one xbow upgrading and the other low leveled so i got wrecked. How did you get on with that base? Would be willing to try it again.

That's a great thought. So are you thinking about covering the entire village?

for trophy villages have you guys tried the 'diamond defender' th9 base on junliang's base thread?

That is a hybrid base at best with how staggered the TH is.

Ok so this base has been doing really well. I've edited it to be a hybrid though as the clan I was in was having a push, but it's still the same concept.

The only issue is that as with any hog base your somewhat reliant on traps, bombs and to a lesser extent cc troops. This base keeps preventing 40% so i don't get a shield even up at 2700+trophies but if the next attack is all hogs I'm losing 2 stars.

On the whole though its excellent, but I'm gonna say that, I designed it lol.

I'd love if someone could try it out and offer some feedback. (FYI i missed a pic out but its the same pattern. Win, win (no more traps and bombs) loss

Awesome base, deserves more reactions because it seems to work very good.

Thanks for posting this!

Where are the big bombs?

This base should also win anything below 2400 regardless of traps and cc.

However, any knowledgeable attacker can one star a base. 50% is easy to get. I think our realistic expectations of a base should be to be only 1 starred past 27-2800 and never 3 starred in masters. Fair?

Here are my favorite bases.

I took this one to 2725. When I say that, what I mean is that I won two defenses to get me there, gaining nearly 50 trophies. This is the one I trust the most due to my use of it. Its one of Pingfao's old designs with double bombs for hogs.

Now I am NOT a base designer.

I am much better and tweaking bases and offering criticism and testing bases. Does anyone see anything in one of these bases that can be implemented to make a TH9 trophy base? I would be happy to test and experiment with it on my next push.

This base works for me well i am now in Crystal I with this base i had a 3 win on a row, all from hogs and in 1 night. I have tested the most of the bases that you have posted so i prefer this one.
