The Phoenix - TH7 Farming Base

Basic idea is to use collectors and a few open defensive units to lure enemy troops through a ring of traps and crossfire. Let me know your thoughts!

Note: The initial openings into the base are not trapped, but are designed to look like they might be trapped. I expect some attackers would try to drop troops on those entrances, in the hopes of setting off traps that don't exist, thus slightly weakening their attacking force.

And of course the primary traps are all in the interior, to ensure they can't be force set-off by an attacker. The spring traps setup at the top to protect the mortars from the giant/healer combo (you can't heal a giant that's been flung off the battlefield! :)

That base looks kind of interesting. I really like how you have a four-way funnel going on. One thing I noticed is that you put all your spring traps on one side of the base. That in my opinion is not a good choice. I see why you did that; you have both your teslas on the bottom to "patch" that. But having all of them on one side limits when they could actually come into play. If someone attacks from the bottom and goes through your defenses they won't get to those spring traps for awhile. And spring traps can really change a lot in a defense. I suggest having 2 on one side and 2 on the other to ensure that no matter what side you are attacked something will get hit by a spring trap. Just a thought. I would actually try out this base but because of clan wars it is actually against the rules in my clan to put my town hall outside of my walls. I would get kicked. ARRRRRGGGHHH!

a base like this just makes it tooo easy for a TH8 with Max troops like myself to take all your loot.

I edited my OP, not sure if I did it in time for you to see. But the reason the spring traps are at the top is because that is where both mortars are. This helps to protect from a giant/healer attack that could target those mortars, because when three giants get flung off the map, ain't nothing that healer can do about it!

Instead of stroking yourself perhaps you'd care to elaborate on how you'd break this base?

Also, my greatest defense against higher town halls is to:

1. Be out of their trophy range so I'm not targeted

2. Spend my resources instead of leaving them hanging around, so that there's little to gain from targeting me.

Ah, in that case nevermind!

Just swapped my wizard towers and gold storage. yes, it puts my storages closer together, but it also ensures that each wizard tower covers two entrances into the base, so everything is locked up better with coverage.

Very interesting base might even tr it after clan wars keep making bases. i wonder if you could incorporate this design theme into a trophy base

Pretty easy with the large middle compartment and lack of need to protect storages in Clan Wars IMO.

To the OP- looks interesting at a glance! :) I'll have to look at it closer. What are the most common attacks on it?

One quick weakness is wallbreakers to the core compartment.

Very interesting base. I seriously loled at your response. What kinda gamer comes on to a forum for tactics and strategies and says that kind of stuff about a guy looking to get input on a base?
Yep, he's stroking himself! Pure gold karn.
