Magika-A new Original TH8 Base for Farmers!

Hi all! I had never truly designed a base, so here's my first one, all nice and tested out for ya! I'll put the pics, and then explain the base in more detail.

So as you can see, The base is being sniped a lot, and most other attacks have been like that. I had some elixir stolen, but in the late stages of TH8 it's really not necessary.

As you can see, it meets all of the standard base requirements I know about. Unlurable (mostly) CC, triangulated mortars, wizard towers and air defenses, and archer towers and cannons are mixed.
(Notice the colours showing most of this stuff. Orange is for CC range)

This is a cleaner pic. Feel free to use this base if you liked it, and I would really appreciate any feedback! Also, If anyone in the higher leagues is farming, do share your experiances if you used it!

Edit: To see the pictures, right-click on the squares if you are unable to see them. Open image in a new tab. A new tab will open, along with my sexy images!!

I only see the image of your defense log repeatedly

I just noticed that... lol

It's a good start but I'm not sure what farmer wants a bunch of storages open for archers and a easy to grab dark elixir storage to boot. Also the air defense triangulation is off center and the trap placement is kinda...bad.

I mean, I really put into thought where to place the storages (As I said, elixir is no longer important in the late stages of TH8) But I didn't find anywhere to put that last gold storage. And even though the ADs are a bit off center, they cover almost all of the base. And the point of the wizards being in the middle is to avoid being raided by air troops, such as baloonions. I really never know what to do with traps lol.. Where would you put them?

If you are only trying to guard 4 storages (3 gold 1 dark elixir) I'm sure you can come up with a securer design than this. I noted the elixir thing because others who want a farm base may not be in the late stages of th 8. Regardless, the AD thing is an issue since giant healer on the left side will rampage for quite some time. The trap placement (especially springs) I don't agree on because they would be utilized much better if they were between towers because taking out 3-6 or more giants is crucial in a raid.

I'd say switch the bottom Air Defense with the bottom Gold Storage, and if you can, try to make some better places for traps. Otherwise, I think it's a solid design.

I agree with GodII, too many storages along the outside walls.
1-2 along the outside walls I think should be the max for a farming base.

A strong Barch + a heal or two will tear it apart. And also, like the rest have said before me, i only see a pair of well protected resource. The rest are too exposed; even if u're prioritising one type, u shd at LEAST aim to secure 2-3 of the same storage.

There is no point in "triangulation" unless your storages are properly "triangulated"

Looks like a great base to have in the serenity waterfall but, what would you suggest to someone in crystal?

1 gold storage and 2 elixir storages are exposed.. I think this base is effective because you are in a low trophy range, try going up to 1600 and see how the base works 😏
