Hollow Bastion, A TH8 Hog Deterrent Base

As a TH8, I am well aware that you cannot stop high level hogs. What you can do however, is have a layout that deters hoggers from even attacking you. I have been farming in crystal 3 for about a month now and I was only get attacked by 3 comps: mass hog, BAM, or mass level 6 giants. BAM is pretty easy to stop, but there wasn't anything I could do to stave off the hordes of hogs and giants. What I noticed was that people would deploy mass hogs and then their heroes for clean up, they didn't want their heroes to take damage. Same thing for with giants. I wanted to design a base that would make people have to commit all in from the start, if you are going to 3 star me, I want you to have to wait for your heroes to heal, and I want you to have to deploy your precious CC troops. Hollow Bastion was born. And I haven't seen a legitimate hog attack since I made this base 10 days ago. I would love to see what this base is capable of with maxed out defenses, it holds up pretty well and I am fairly premmie due to prioritizing walls over actually defenses.

Special thanks to Avernicus for Hades's Dining Table, it's what got me into Labyrinth bases.

Cc is an easy lure and double g bombs need to have a closer position to a defence tower, but apart from that it looks good. Of course once you try to make that cc unlureable your have to totally redesign it.

Balloonion and hogs are both great strategies, but I would hardly say that they are basically the same.
Giants, when compared to Golems, are basically alike.

The cc can still be lured and the giant bombs can be stepped on pretty easily by hogs
