TH9 Anti-Hog, Unlureable Clan Castle

I just switched into this base last night and since then I won 3/4 defenses with my th8 defenses. The one I lost to was a giant healer strategy and one of my xbows and one of my ADs are upgrading so I didn't have enough defenses to attack the remaining healer and giants

I have been attacked 3 times today while using this base. I am th9 nowhere near maxed.

Two attacks were Gian healer the other was batch with some spells. No attacked got even close to my core.

Not even 40% from either attacker I logged in just now to 74+ trophies.

This base rocks all I can say.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know!

Do you keep your x-bows set to attacking both air and ground?

A little worried about trying this (vs air armies in particular) just because those two AD towers on the outside are so vulnerable.

Nice work - a couple of notes off the top of my head:

Two air defenses in the core is heaps - it will deter/defeat most if not all dragon attacks, and with xbows up it makes balloons about as difficult as you can expect for TH9 (balloons&minions could still 1-2 star you, if used right, but not much you can do about that as TH9 - once you get to Masters, you are mostly attacked on sight).

The "unlurable" clan castle is really catching on, judging by what I've seen recently in Clan Wars (my own TH10 has had one for some time, too). However a skilled attacker can always find a way to trigger and/or deal with it. For example my antihog TH10 has seen a few hoggers attack recently, where they spread out an initial wave of hogs, to clear out one or two sides (maybe one heal spell), trigger CC and heroes. Once the CC and heroes are dealt with, in comes a second wave of hogs, designed to get straight into the core that is now exposed due to clearing out a lot of outer ring defenses. There's nothing you can do to prevent that, except maybe try and have double big bombs in your core and/or pray for good fortune. Also, a heavy army of e.g. giants and/or golems, with wizards and heroes, and good use of wall breakers, will always be able to punch into your core, and can usually deal with clan castle troops on the way. Again, not much you can do against that except pray for good fortune.

Nice base but if this is for Clan Wars trying to avoid 3 star hogs I would move one set of giant bombs into the core so they have to guess. Maybe move two teslas out to help outer defenses and put 2 bombs in. That way it might even prevent a 2 star attack.

As it is, it is easy breezy for 2 hogs to test the obvious spots double bombs would be (are) around your perimeter defenses and of course they would guess right. But if you put one set in the core they're gonna worry even if they set off one set in the perimeter since they know 2 more bombs could be lurking.

If this is for regular game and protecting resources as well as having a decent base then you are good to go (not too many all out hog attacks until you climb up a ways). :)

Good work. :cool:

not much I can do about that. Moving 2 bombs to the core would mean expecting people to get to the core... I am more optimistic than that :p Thanks for the tips anyways

Even with the ADs in the center AND xbows up, I normally get taken my TH or DE out (depending on where I get attacked from). If this wont do it, nothing will, so I'll just have to get used to it.

And of course an army with golems and wizards like gowipe or gowiwi will beat me, it will pretty much wreck any TH9 base for a 2 star (luckily) if not a three star.
