I guess I'll put the DE storage middle then since I believe the BK will definitely be lured.

EDIT: 3-starred in war by a mass dragon attack.

Exact same base as the first image in OP. Attacked mostly from bottom-left and a bit from bottom-right.

That sucks. Do you mind if I join your clan to watch the replay?

I'm going to take the lack of a response as a yes. It's too bad, it really would have helped me determine whether it was a good attack, a flaw in the base, low level defenses, or a combination of the three. Even without watching the replay I think that it would be a good idea to switch the mortars with the ADs, so there is 2 ADs and 1 mortar in the core. Thank you for the picture, even without seeing the replay it helps tremendously.

Sorry I was not aware that you replied to me in this thread.

Regarding the request to join my clan, I cannot make a decision as it is not in my power to do so. However, if you are still interested, I may ask one of the senior members of my clan to see if you can join to watch the replay.

Anyway, in that attack, I had 5 Lv 8 Archer Towers, 2 Lv 5 AD and 1 Lv 3 AD.

If I can't it's all good, what levels are your teslas?

2 Lv 3, 1 Lv 1.

Hello verh,

do you have any plans for a war specific type of base? I've notice a lot of attacks using mass dragons and hogs..

Thanks! From the relay you posted I think that the ADs should be switched with the mortars and that I should say that high level teslas are very important for it.

Yes, but I'm a th9 now. When I was a th8 I used the one that I recommended in the op for clan wars, and if you wanted it to be better against dragons you could move all of the ADs into the core, or even just switch the ADs and the mortars. I made that base specifically for clan wars, so I guess you could say that it is clan wars specific.

I have now tested this base in three wars now. 3-starred in all wars by mass dragons.

I think this base is not suitable for war where people normally use heavy attacks, but may be good at trophy-pushing where not a lot of people carry heavy armies.

Out of curiosity did you keep the tesla centered version all three times? If I recall correctly you had fairly low level teslas and that version relies heavily on them, but it was the other one then I'm surprised. I appreiate you're feedback a lot and I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you. Your experience helps since most of the people who used it during the th8 is great push and I were all maxed th8s, it is good to see how it works when that is not the case even when it works poorly.
