Just asking but dont you need a ring of defences round the outside and the troops to attack that ring. But if you need to protect everything except cannons and archer towers then how is that ring complete. I guess we're not going to agree but from my experience in attacking and defending most hog bases are weaker to other strategies. If you don't have an anti hog base or arent th10 well then 100% almost all the time.

That makes Giants weaker against walled defenses even though anti-hog. So they rely on Wallbreakers. However, they are still attracted to the ring, and still try to beat down walls to the next defense.

Well not all Anti-hog bases are strong, I'll give you that. I actually created my own from adopting a few other designs which where good decent designs but lacking in a few areas.

Anyway, I used my base right up to Master II and even a few TH10 raiders using full Golem Level 5 armies + level 20 heroe along with Balloons couldn't fully 3 star me. A TH9 would be thankful not to be 100% up there, so it's not a fail at all (it's a win!). Granted not everyone will benefit from the design as my walls are pretty strong.

I understand a TH8 can't resist a good hog attack but not all are good. I improvised a new bas design yesterday, could that work against "no pro hoggers" and normal armies with giants and whatever? Would you advice me to concentrate traps/bombs to 1-2 places instead to kill the hogs instant before they get healed?

They have been nerfed quite a lot. Still, I don't like the way a single troop can pack such a punch. There should be more uncertainty, say an increase in risk when using only hogs.

Hogs are not OP anymore, I have a TH 9 and was winning defenses in master against maxed hog armies, very easy to defend against with the right base! Visit _Wolverines88 in TX Farm, that's me, feel free to copy my base! But definitely not necessary to nerf yet AGAIN! Check out our clan, we have great advice, and would be happy to help you with your hog problem, check out TX Farm!

Very nice design. The only thing is the Archer tower and Wiz tower on the sides can be spaced out a bit so the lower cannons can move more into the front of the TH. I assume there is a few Teslas there as well but it's better to space it out so the hogs have more time inbetween hopping from the Archer tower to the Wizard tower (2 block space preferred)

Thanks, yes, I should change that a bit! I've had four attacks on it today, lowest 23% and highest 39, that feels ok since all my Teslas and one arch T are on upgrade.

Oh and reminder, Teslas when upgrading are invisible to Hogs, so keep that in mind when designing the outer ring.


Here's a quick diagram of what I would do to modify Assuming that the teslas will be complete soon:

Too many whiners complaint about this. They've been nerfed alot recently and if I can stop them with a 50% maxed town hall 8, it should be easy for you.

Wow, Paintjob and good advice, 😋. I'll save that picture so I can try the changes. I have level 6 ob the Teslas to do too. I didn't know that about them.

You mean % of the village? Yes they do, dont listen to that guy who said no
