Would this make sense while trophy pushing?

Hello forum dwellers,
I was recently thinking about trophy pushing (have pushed before). Most people say they get pwned by Level 10 THs (as a level 8 TH), and that they need better trophy bases, with TH very protected, and CC hard to lure.

But what about leaving the TH outside? So when you go off, people who would rather TH snipe than actually use up a lot of their troops could do so, resulting in your losing a few trophies, and them leaving with more. This could be a win-win situation, as one side gets a shield to protect themselves from nasty TH 10s, and the others get easy trophies (so they don't have to train troops again).

If I were the raider, I would rather get the TH than use up my troops on a somewhat easier raid, and just find another one, so I can do double almost.


What are your thoughts?

There may be some people that will just go for the town hall but if youre a th8 others will see the opportunity for an easier 3 star (mostly th9 and 10) id sayy 50 50 chance. good luck.

I think parking TH outside is worth it depending on where you are in leagues.

First off, there are occasional lower level snipers that will happily take your TH only and leave (not often but it does happen). Second, some upper TH guys will just snipe to keep their trophy count up to continue farming in a range potentially and leave their army intact to hit another base with more resources.

Some will want the trophies mostly and will 3 star U no matter what you do so it wouldn't matter where you put your TH. But at least if you leave it outside some of them will probably think for a few seconds whether to snipe or destroy. Putting that pause in their thinking will at least up the chances of retaining more trophies. To make their decision easier, try not to keep too much in the way of resources or if you have a lot of something leave it out by the TH.

Sometimes leaving a resource out by the TH will hurt you in that the attacker can take the storage out without it being a tank structure for your defensive fire and they still go after your full base for the easy win. Sometimes it will pay back in terms of trophy count (simple snipe plus free loot) by making their choice easier to keep their full army for the next raid and get a decent amount of loot for very little troop cost.

It becomes a personal decision on which method you want. I personally keep my TH and DE storage outside since I have plenty of DE for a TH 7. Sometimes people just take the free DE and TH but probably just as often they will plow under the whole base with a big attack. I'm sure I get 3 starred less times though having the DE and TH outside vs inside and I get raided pretty quickly after logging off so it doesn't take long to assess the trophy damage LOL. :p

As a side note, once you start hitting Crystal 1 and up the opponents will be looking more for trophies so the likelihood of them 3 starring your base goes up substantially regardless of available loot, etc... so at that point I would go back to the best defensive structure using your townhall mostly as a tank.

Just my opinion and I am only TH 7 so not the best reference for a TH 8. Good luck!:D

As a town hall 8 I did this and I got sniped both times on the way to masters. Definantly do it.
