CALLING ALL BASE DESIGNERS!!! Let's make a th 7 base that can get to crystal!

Seeing that I meet many, many town hall sevens, all wanting to push, I think this will help many. This will be a town hall seven base that, can actually get to crystal 3, or even beyond...and survive. The base will need:

1. A very strong core, with resources pretty well protected.

2. The base MAY NOT rely on heros that much.

3. The base will need funneling and must be Anti-Hog (Anti-Hog = Hogs die from funneling)

4. The base will need centralized mortors, and well protected air defense.

I do realize this is a hard task, but this will help many clashers out. The base that wins, will be posted on clashofclansbuilder.com

Let's be honest here. It's going to be tremendously hard for a TH7 to actually make it to Crystal relying on defenses. With that low amount of walls/ wiz towers/ and air defenses, TH8+ will literally pummel your base.

You cant make a th7 anti hog base, you need xbows, and lots of defense/walls that th7s don't have.

Ok lets just understand a few things first, having a trophy base with well protected resources, all at th7 is not very possible. Also, it is impossible to make a anti hog base at the, you will be 3 starred by hogs no matter what at th7. And in order to get to crystal as the, you will rely on good attacking, not defense.

To make things straight, when I mean anti-hog, i mean hogs will have a hard time getting through because of funneling.

I mean your TH7 base is not going to get you to crystal. Hard work and Th sniping is.

Im maxed out TH7 and have what i think is a good base and it literally just takes an afternoon and patients to hit crystal. Not really hard. Train barb and arch non stop and have some heal spells and your king with for the occasional trap and you will hit crystal in a day depending on where your coming from. Set your screen time out to off and plug in your device and just keep it logged on while pushing and bam your there in no time.

You are showing a picture of a TH7 in master, so what? Its due to the sniping, not the base itself. There was a TH5 in masters.
Now... firstly, no base at TH7 will give hogs a hard time
1. A very strong core, with resources pretty well protected.
For a good pushing base, you either protect trophies or loot, you can't get both, especially with a TH7. Dont get greed for resources if you want trophies. And if you want to go up, you are better off having very little resources, rather than a lot to make you a big target
2. The base MAY NOT rely on heros that much.
Heroes and CC are all key to a good defense.
3. The base will need funneling and must be Anti-Hog
Even TH9 or TH10 without Infernos have trouble against hogs, much less a TH7, which can be smashed by anything
4. The base will need centralized mortors, and well protected air defense.
True, but hard to do with the little amount of walls at TH7, and if you want to protect TH and resources, impossible

It is anti-2 star if someone snipes tho. and if he doesnt have much loot there would be no reason to go for the rest of the base (unless he meets another trophy hunter)

key word there "RELYING ON DEFENSES" the picture you posted showed a TH7 who had his th outside, this is because as a th7 high in trophies, you will always get 3 starred, ALWAYS, so your defense does not matter at all

If you read that guys original post, he is coming down from master, thats why the th is in the open. Besides, i meet toooooonnnnnns of th 5-7 who are in crystal, so they either have a worse or an army like mine, sooooooo, they basically need to use defense.

Love it how I ask a question and make a statement and the thread immediately goes off topic. XD

Look at my signature.

I pushed to Master League at TH7. And I assure you, it was all because of my attacks. My defense? It was always a 100% revenge every time I log off.

IMO, this thread is ridiculous.

Yeah, there really is no point in trying this for a few reasons:

1) There isn't enough walls in Town Hall 7 to properly funnel, or properly defend.
2) Defense levels aren't high enough to hold up in crystal
3) Not enough traps to funnel.
4) Not enough defenses to hold up in crystal.

If you're going to push to Crystal for whatever reason, stick your Town Hall outside and pray someone doesn't steal all your resources when they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that they got attacked by a cocky TH 7.

Yes but let me explain to you. As a th7 in crystal and above, you will always get 3 starred, no matter what, they will see your base as free trophies and destroy your base. No matter how good your base design is. I'm not going off topic just explaining when pushing as a low th, it is ALL about offense.

Hey Guys,

Its pretty much impossible for a TH7 to make it to Crystal+ only relying on defences. It's all depending on the clasher and his attack strategy. I have seen a TH3 in crystal by just sniping Town Halls. If u would like to prove me wrong get up to Crystal+ and don't attack for around 3+ days. 100% you will have a lower count of trophies then when u started.

Everyone is replying negative here, and saying it is impossible, but nobody here is actually trying it, so no worries OP, I will try and post the outcome! Happy clashing

i strongly agree👆. When pushing for trophies it's all about offense not defense. I got to crystal3 at level 40ish with th6-7.

I know it sucks but...
24+ Balloons can wipe out any TH7 without spells, no matter how the air defence is positioned.

Umm, So basically you might want to think about getting a maxed TH8 before you start pushing...

This is a base I created after getting attacked many times in crystal. It can be easily 3 stared but it lures attacker to enter from my th end. Where all my traps are placed.

As per my experience with this base 90% enter from th end... 10% those do not 3 star it :)

No, its because they are on and raid a lot more and snipe. TH5 can get to champion that way. You can't get to crystal by defense TH7 and below.
It gets off topic because you don't get his point and your perception that you can get to crystal league by defense as a TH7 is wrong

Yeah he meant by defense.

Best suggestion I have is make a farming base th outside and get cheap shields. As for gaining trophies snipe lol

I got to Crystal 3 using the TH7 version of the Pokeball base. I made a hybrid version where I placed the TH in place of one of the storage compartments.

Here's the base design:
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...-Farming-Bases

This was my army composition on my journey to Crystal 3, more or less:
Up to 1200 trophies, I used the giant/healer combo.
1200+ trophies, I used 40barb/60arch/40gob/8giants/8wb/1wiz (1 wiz was all I needed to take care of CC troops)
1600+ trophies, I used 6dragons/80arch (rage spells is key)
1800+ trophies, I used 8dragons/40arch or 8dragons/20minions (minion version is stronger vs high level ADs)...again, rage spells rips bases apart

1. there aren't many hoggers till cristal
2Work out the main fire power of TH7 then centralize it

Yes its mostly lvl6 giants/queen that trouble you in crystal... not hogs.

I'm willing to help. My bro is a TH7 and he wants to go crystal, so this shouldn't be hard at all.

it's impossible to make a great th7 base sir... not enough walls, nor can you level up walls/defenses high enough.

Thx for the help!!! I have used one of these bases before, so I know they work fantastically.

no offense, but you a TH7 defense cant make it to crystal. my TH7 complete defense made it until 1900 then started getting 1-starred. u can make it to crystal with barch

1900 can be considered as crystal.

I am a terrible base maker, so I will not be much help. I know how to make a good base, just don't put in the time or effort too. IMO, the most important thing will be a centralized cc. In my TH7 days, I pushed the spawn back with outside buildings. I won quite a bit of giant healer attacks. They destroyed my easy to get AD, and dropped the healers. The first always died. The second had no point because my cc troops always took out giants. If they didn't take out all of them, they took out enough to make the giants useless. I would centralize cc and put cc in the base, well protected too, just not centralized. This will work the same for hogs with fast troops. I would recommend spring traps a LOT as they will take out multiple hogs and you can't be healed from that.

Here's something I made real fast:

http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/353487

Just a few things:

- I'm not very good with traps, so I just kind of put them there. Obviously, if there is funneling, these would be taken out and used in the funneling process.
- I'm not good with funneling (at least what to use as bait, cannons perhaps?), so we can continue from there if anybody thinks my base is a good starting point for the base
- It's pratically impossible to protect your storages without sacrificing a lot of defense. So I kind of put it in the last layer.

I don't usually make bases, but ehh, gave it a shot? Points for trying?

(pretty hard to make a good TH 7 base that nobody knows).

I know it is pretty bad, but maybe suggest? Too many compartments, not enough, maybe less symmetrical?

no man..forget it..u won't reach. even crystal by defense.. I am th7 myself..it's only hard work..I went to crystal 2 by sniping at th6..
though u have motivated me to go to masters with th7.. :) thanx for tat

What I'm working on is close to your ask. My goal isn't to hit crystal though. I'm taking my time farming to max out each level before progressing. I can tuck away the TH if need be in the first layer, but find I can easily make up the small trophy loss from a TH snipe so never do.

Here is my running build link http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...e-Tilted-Cross and the one off on coc builder http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/339641.

Here is my current shot though I'm playing with where to place the BK.

I actually (while doing something boring) came up with an amazing idea for a base. I'm pretty sure I can do with low wall count, but it will be all trap using funneling and other things, completely tricking higher levels into believing it is easy.

Also, said I didn't try to do traps :P

u can easily get to crystal with a crappy base or to master if u do lots of raid.

Well I am not sure what you mean by TH 7 getting to Masters on defense but I pretty much guarantee you some offense got (all of) them there.

I am presently a TH 7 in Crystal 1 farming/pushing and have not left Crystal since TH 5 (got to Masters as TH 6 for gems).

My base is a Junliang Pokeball slight hybrid (farming with TH and dark elix storage outside hoping for one star) and like others have said, good luck getting defensive wins in Crystal let alone Masters. You might get the odd oops attack but if someone is TH 7 coming down from Masters they did not get to Masters solely on defense with that base design regardless of where they put the TH.

I've been here in Crystal 1-2 for two weeks now as Th 7 and weeks longer going back to TH 5. It is all about offense and reducing defense hits to less than 3 stars while minimizing the 3 star crushing 50+ revenge attacks.

That said, I do like the idea of bettering a base for lower townhall levels to push! It makes it more exciting to be able to farm and push simultaneously at lower TH levels. The base in the pic in Masters is decent but certainly not a design to win defensive victories against all out attacks from TH 9 and 10 opponents in upper Crystal/lower Masters.

The base design in the pic with the mostly maxed Th 7 in Masters is not a whole lot different than the Pokeball, both have a somewhat circular layout and both look like solid bases for their TH level.

NO WAY you got to 1900 before starting to get 1 starred...

I think the question is flawed.

It's not your Town Hall level that can get you into something.

It is your troops that gain all those trophies after attacking.

I have seen a Town Hall 2 in Crystal 1!

A better question is, what base layout for a town hall 7 will keep you in crystal league?

An exposed town hall is your best bet. After those town hall snipers give you 12 hour shield, you can stay in crystal for 12 more hours. That would be about 8-10 trophies lost for a 1 star townhall snipe.

You might also lose as much as 30 trophies from a 3-star raid. But when you come online, snipe about 5 town halls that gives you 8-11 trophies for that 1-star. Voila! You get to be in Crystal longer.

As long as you gain more trophies than you lose every 12 to 16 hours, then you will be staying in Crystal longer.

Also, keep your resources low. They tend to ignore "poor" bases. LoL.

Of course it will have to be a farming base.

Yeah, that'd be a good tip, trying to keep your loot low. Just try to spend it all before you log off. Also, you can't boost collectors, or you'll have even more loot, and will look even more appealing to people who want to raid you. 1 gem boost= NO

Thanks so much for this advice, do you have a YouTube channel? Have you posted these strategies?

Honestly if you want to get into crystal as a TH 7 it can be done as I did it as a TH 6. Not going to lie it was basically all TH sniping while keeping resources low so the motivation to attack me was just for trophies. It takes a while but it can be done. You're not going to be able to maintain it as a TH 8 and up can take out a TH 7 even with an amazing layout.

Besides that there's not much benefit to sitting in crystal at that level besides the victory bonus. You're not going to find too many people that you can crack their core and get to storage's. This was my experience though as a TH6. Not saying the loots bad and its impossible, but its a lot more difficult to maintain and get great loot. Not to mention trophy pushers will brush you aside. The 250 gem achievement however is a very nice reward and I think was worth it. Best of luck to you though!
