Dragons, Archers, Rage, Barbking: figure out how to align the dragons towards the DE storage. Clear all buildings that can deviate them from this path with Archers and Bking. Send in Dragons, use 1 or 2 rage spells depending on how deep you need to go, profit! 6-8 Dragons, rest Archers. Range: 1500-1700. I never attack for less than 1k DE and frequently get up to 2k.Quote:

Check it out

a little better protection for storages.. dont loose any storage to th7 armies.. nd 1 mostly to lvl5 armies..
Traps r the main reason for many defense wins. i am using hybrid base rt now so dont have defense logs to show..
What do u think about it?
Hey hsg, I`ve seen this base recently and I must say it`s a fairly good one. I do believe L5 Giants with a healing spell or two will make quick work of it though: I used a similar base previously and found that most people with TH8 armies would smash all my splash defenses apart :(
I was just now 3-starred by an all-dragon army. I was sitting at 1150 trophies and it was not a revenge attack, didn`t know these TH8 armies existed down here. Oh well, not much to do really, especially with an AD still upgrading.
So this morning I revenged the dragonarmy who attacked me yesterday and properly stole 2k DE from him. 8 raged Dragons work wonders at breaking through to a core :) I`m betting he`ll regret his attack. Anyways, I am thus now sitting at a full 20k DE and in 9 hours the Dark Barracks will be upgraded, allowing me to start the Hogs L2. This means that in a couple of days time I`ll start the TH8 upgrade, so roughly 10 days left @ TH7. This means I`ll be farming hard again, and hopefully receive some more serious attacks. Now I`m just hoping for a cheap snipe and a shield so I don`t have to worry about protecting DE no more (this time around at least) :) I`ve already begun some concept work for a TH8 Diamond. The short story is that the core + splash protection won`t be as solid because of the added AD and WT, however I might be able to separate the storages even better.
I started upgrading to TH8 yesterday. Here are my initial thoughts on a diamond design there:

I realized as I was making the base that the cushion walls protecting the corners don`t need to be closed to do their job - any wallbreakers deployed will target one of the 4 main compartments and after they`re blown up, a second set of breakers will target the corners regardless of cushion walls being closed or not. This realization was essential to this design, as I otherwise would not have had enough walls to complete it (I was lacking 14 or so). In a week I`ll be able to test this out in practice :) I believe the design itself is solid enough, the question is whether it`s the right answer to typical attacks experienced by TH8s: at TH7 I find it works wonders but it could be that the meta changes with a TH8 base. Time will tell :)
Any updates/changes/improvement on th 7?
@LordSharp - the base has seen several changes, some of them quite drastic actually. I realized after making the TH8 design that I could save a lot of walls to properly compartmentalize the inner core further by removing the junctions connecting the 4 splash defenses with it. Based on this the entire way the base played kinda changed, so instead of it being highly symmetrical I`ve now created a subtle teaser that most good farmers go for (I`ve centralized both Teslas and all traps in one place - it works wonders!). I don`t have time at the moment but I will give it a thorough review when I do. Tomorrow I`m hitting TH8 and looking forward to continuing my journey there :)
Curious to see what you did :)Quote:
