Clan Wars defense strat

I came up with a sneaky strat for Clan Wars defense. Leave your TH on the outside. However, load it with traps and Teslas. An attacker will see your base as if you "forgot" to prep it for war and will assume an easy kill. This will cause them to drop their initial troops and then they will scramble to try to recover after they realize they keep losing each bit they put down. Eventually it will cost them too much just to take down the TH that they will not have much left over for the rest of the base. What they figured should only cost 3 archers, now cost half of their army.

The genius about this play is how it effects the entire war. It is obviously a guaranteed 1 star victory. That is part of the strat. The other attackers will see that it still has 2 stars left to capture. Thus, it creates an attack trap. The next attacker will think it's an idiot's base as well and assume the last attacker just did a bad job. So, of course, the new attacker begins with free TH kill and the cycle starts again. Keep in mind, that each attacker only gets 2 opportunities during each war. The more attacks a base absorbs, the fewer opportunities the opposing clan has to use on other bases.

I imagine I would pull in at least 5 attackers before I get overpowered. We have a 20v20 going. This would effectively negate 4 attacks out of their possible 40.

Thoughts?

nope, people use high level armies for cw cause theyw anna win and a few teslas wont make that much of a difference! second: if a player sees u got one starred he can check the cw log and see that u trapped ur th he will take advantage of that with a specific attack strat. th trapping is ineffective and douchy; even in cw

Yeah, may work once tops. But a smart clan will relay the info in clan chat and also check past battle log to see how attack went, what troops in CC to deal with etc. Maybe if you're in a lower level clan war you can hope to be sneaky, but I'd say your best bet is to just have a good defense.

Also, how about clumping ALL defensive building together behind a barricade of walls and keeping everything else separate? I figure more than 50% of our base is artillery. So it would be near impossible to 3 star a giant clump of guns, as it would rip apart even an army of golums in seconds. Focused fire to the extreme.

I thought about that putting all defenses in middle. They may 1 or 2 star ya maybe not 3. Will have to work with it. I like the trap system, will work lower levels, higher too smart. I do it now and only get one stared most of the time. 3 tesslas with spring traps and giant bombs. They get confused send in giants and loose most. Works and sometimes not.

Interesting. It would seem to be a rage or heal spell dream - 1 spell to cover where giants, hogs, or balloons are for a longer period? Its the spread out bases that mess with my hogs, but I've never faced one with mass weapons together.
