Town Hall outsides with Teslas

Why do people put their town hall outside for the free shield, but surround it with Teslas?

I don't understand this at all. Instead of saying thank you for the free shield, you make the attacker have to use 50 troops instead of 3. They are still going go get the town hall, so why do it?

The defender does not gain anything by doing this. If anything, it's going to ♥♥♥♥ off the attacker and make them MORE LIKELY to attack their collectors to teach them a lesson.

Someone please explain to me what these people are thinking by surrounding the town hall with teslas.

I've been wondering the same, I think they are just dumb and think it's good for those who want to raid the whole base and start from the TH. It's just bad, as anywhere else Teslas'd do better

To teach the under-leveled trophy pushers (lvl 40 and below) a lesson. I don't do it myself, but we have a guy in our clan that surrounded his TH with big bombs, bombs and springs. And 2 of his 4 teslas. A level 37 in crystal 3 spent 140 archers to get the town hall. That's why. And its funny to watch on a replay. I am a nearly maxed out TH 8. When I have a farming base up and I get sniped by 40 or below that are in crystal, it pisses me off. People that low have no business being in crystal, in my opinion. So i revenge the ♥♥♥♥ out of them to take back the trophies plus about 30 more for the revenge.

You guys want easy trophies, well some people will make you earn them. ♥♥♥ for tat. You can't have it one way and expect everyone to oblige. Do you really expect people your attacking to "help you out"?

if u find a lower lvl doing this, make sure to 3 star 'em and take their dark elixir. Many high lvl players frown upon teslas guarding the th.

But... don't you want to get sniped? Isn't that the point of putting your town hall out in the first place? Isn't it better to get sniped by a lvl40 who has no chance of doing further harm than a level 90 who takes whatever he wants after he takes the town hall?

Instead of acting like they did some great affront to your pride, you should be encouraging that type of player to be in your league.

Some people think the attacker will give up and give them free trophies every once and awail. I dont do that because its a waste of defences. But it is funny to see people struggle to get 7 trophies. :rolleyes:

No offense, you should thank the lv40-. In crystal, I want trophies and loot... putting your TH exposed, only make you my first target.


Suggestion to TH snipper, if you encounter traps on TH.. change your strategy, go for loot and do less than 40% damages.

That's exactly what happens. Haha. And that is almost as entertaining as watching a replay of 140 archers trying to get one town hall.

take wins against level 90's and give up maybe a 1 or 2 stars here and there. So that doesn't really concern me. My point is- at level 40 you have no business being in crystal and I will be happy to flatten your base and give you a free shield, while taking all your resources. Not to mention the revenge that is sure to come from a level 90+ in crystal that revenges you just for the laugh.

I don't do it either because I don't want a higher level attacker seeing all my teslas are not in the base and then decide to take that base and leave the town hall lol. It is funny to see low levels wast their army to get 6 or 7 trophies.

And honestly, when I see a farming base with the TH outside, I completely ignore it and go for the resources. If i get the TH great, if not, great. No difference to me.

None taken. I'm not real sure what you are trying to get across in your first statement.

And I would agree with your second statement. If it pisses you off, return the favor. Otherwise you give someone a good laugh.

I do it all the time when i have no loot, it's pretty fun to imagine someone panicking and dropping his or her heroes plus a couple rage spells when he or her was only planning to use 4 archers.

If you make it to crystal at level 40, you have plenty of business being there. Lots of folks like you will be jealous of that achievement, but face it, they all can't revenge attack. Not enough time in a year for everyone I sniped on my way to crystal to revenge attack me, not if they give me a shield.

Some people do it to win defences and it surprisingly works. Make the attacker earn those measly trophies. Sometimes it can make the difference between a 3/2 star raid if the attacker drops a few troops on the th and doesnt check if it was trapped. If the th isnt cornered or at the edge of the map its quite obvious its going to be trapped and you either take it on or let a stronger player teach them a lesson in gaining shield ethics.

two reasons:

1) for poops and giggles
2) to try to work towards the "unbreakable" achievement, without losing resources (on works when lowbies/noobs attack the TH and try&fail, or just quit after realizing the TH is trapped).

It's not a highly recommended tactic, but it has its purposes. The replays themselves bring great entertainment.

I drop one archer to see if it has teslas and if it does I wipe the entire base out.if u want to protect the free shield and the favor I'm going to give u I will not waste more than 10 archers.so if u choose to put teslas with ur th I will take ur loot and trophies

YOU do this because you can.

If a TH10's th is exposed and you are a th5, you likely don't have that option.

The player is probably hoping to have mostly lower levels sniping their THs, as opposed to higher levels.

the truth is, it's a mixed bag. so sometimes they will get burned like you described, which I have no sympathy for these people :p

This...., i have ever said it

And it's better leave it on the corner alone than leave side by side with the wall with 1 or 2 def tower to guard the TH, it just bother the sniper who want some trophy and give you a free shield.

I often experienced this when i'm on TH 8, i see an average loot (about 100k each in TH7) usually i don't drop to raid and i all i want is just a little trophy by TH snip, We usually use 4-5 arch to snip corner TH right ? but this TH near wall & guard by 2 archer tower, i still think it's ok i just need send 10 barb & arch to take down, then i drop few barb for bomb test and bang the dual tesla come out, and i said : okay it's already wet, i will take the TH and the storage too.

They do it to make you waste your troops, that way it could prevent a 2 star or 3 star

I do it for kicks. Gotta make them work a little for it you know!

But really, As A farmer I don't want to allow someone who was only TH sniping to turn the raid into a full attack. For example, if you're farming, you're going to have a lot of loot right?

If it only takes two archers to kill the town hall then there's still a chance they could unleash the rest of his army to take everything. But if you make them really work for it then it uses up his troops so he doesn't have the option to carry out his normal attack.

And if they were a maxed TH10, they were going to destroy you any way. So slightly defending the town hall actually protects the loot better. You give them a choice, trophies or loot?

The put teslas next to town hall to troll people

I am a th 9 with max troops for the th...i farm a lot and drop trophies and snipe at same time to maintain the league...and yes when i see a th with traps and hidden teslas i wipe the base out clean even if the loot is ♥♥♥♥..it is so much more satisfying lol

You get some free elixir from graves i guess

These make me so mad...

I hate it when wpeople dothat, I was pushing to crystal and this guy had 3 teslas and an x bow protecting his TH

If someone needs their heroes plusa couple rage spells to take out a town hall simply because it's surrounded by teslas then they obviously are doing it wrong. A waste of time. Simply throw out a groupd of barbs and archers and it gets it done.

You do it for the lulz ,it's better when the attacker only brought like 10 archers.

What I find even worse is the people that put their TH outside with a hero right beside it. I will put your hero to sleep preventing them from helping defend a real attack and take the TH.

My theory is a lot of these people see others with the TH outside and have no idea why, then just copy it.

they try to get some free trophies

OR
they want some of the gravestones(1 de or 20 e)

NEVER PUT YOUR TH SURROUNDED BY DEFENSES
I did this and more people went for my loot than the th.
When I moved it away, people just went for the th.

On the plus side, if you were thinking of attacking the base but not sure if your army was strong enough, you now know there are no hidden tesla's in there.

At the end of the day only people who are stupid put the teslas out at the exposed TH. no matter if you take out 60 archers or not. that dosnt effect you in the slightest at the end of the day. you'r teslas are far better off being in good deffensive positions inside you'r base.

when i come accross that stuff i just kill the cc troops and hero's and spring all the traps outside, then quit before 40%.

To waste your troops to prevent 2 or 3 star.

I have wandered the same, it wastes a good defence and does make the attack go for the base and not just the th. But tbh its not a massive deal, when I used to do it I did for banter and to watch the attacker waste loads of troops haha

The basic concept of th sniping is trading trophies for cheap sheild. Both parties gain benefits. Good business ethics.

Then, comes trolls and noobs

that's something happens freqently, and how i love to seek and blow all giant bombs and zappingfor DE..

Yeah when ppl do this it pisses me off, if they have weak defenses I will then make the effort to 3 star them.

20-30 barbs + BK iron fist would destroy TH and all 4 teslas, been there and done that.

Only low level league and weak players would set traps on exposed TH to gain trophies.
In higher league, ppl won't do that because it's a waste of teslas and giving up of getting free shield.

I agree, those guys are trolls and I'd never booby trap my th. In fact I surround it with flags and flowers so ppl will know it's not a set up. I want the shield from the first noob to come along and not the th10 who will *** me and take my gold and de. But back when I was a noob and sniping every th I could find - before I learned to 1-2 star the bases I was BARCHing, I came across this a lot. It is a good learning experience. You learn to drop a couple of barbs to test for traps/ bombs/big bombs. You learn to recognise the 2x2 gaps and predict which bases are trapped. You learn to check for mortars covering the th, a sure sign of a trapped th. You learn to avoid any base where the th is protected with a short segment of wall designed to bunch up archers. Now I just hit NEXT and the troll doesn't get a shield from me, unless he has full storages I can get to.

its more of the defender giving you a hard time. easy th's, dont come cheap these days. you have to earn for it lol. but if you see a tesla guarding the th, i suggest go for the entire base. teach him a lesson on tesla placement and the importance of them inside or outside the base.

I used to that before some, i dont see the problem? just because the th is outside doesnt mean u shouldnt have to work for it a little or? greedy people even if u have to waste 50 troops for it so what stop crying its part of the game i support this 100%.

I believe you may be missing the point of the thread. It's not a debate as to whether people are greedy and feel that they should or shouldn't have to waste 50 troops instead of 3 troops to take an outer townhall, the debate is why do people do this if they are likely going to ♥♥♥♥ off the attacker, and if the attacker is strong enough, they will then try to 3-star the base instead of just giving a cheap shield.

That's the silly part. Most of the posters here are just saying how they like to 3-star a base that does this to teach them a lesson for trapping their TH. I agree with them.

But if you don't care about losing resources and just want the funny replays, then go right ahead, it's a game and you should be able to have fun however you like if it doesn't break any policies or rules.

The free shield is of much higher value than the few trophies the sniper gets. The deal is one gets easy trophies, the other an easy shield. I will snipe while farming to maintain range, but only if it's a guaranteed easy snipe. If I have to use more than a handful of troops it becomes a hassle, and my time and effort is better spend elsewhere. Much more efficient to use those troops to 3star a th below regardless of loot, rather than snipe a trapped TH of a higher player and get nothing.

I have been doing it for a few days now and it is proving pretty good
as a new TH10 I am up in crystal and every 2-3 raids someone fails so I win 20-30 trophies keeping my tropjies up while having good gold protection

When I was a lower level player I use to do this and Ill give you my justification as to why I use to use this setup.

When I was TH 6/7 I learned about TH snipers and how they mostly use spamable troops in their raids such as BARCH (BAM wasn't a form of attack when I was TH 7 since dark troops weren't out yet). Knowing this I put my TH outside my base not too far but far enough to make an attacker seem confident in their attack.

Morters where just in range to pick off barbarians and archer towers where just on the edge to hit archers. With this defense it seemed like it was a doable snipe by using deception as to how far my defenses where for it. However I laid my tesla's between my TH and still outside the walls. This assured when the attacker struck all the defenses would hit and they would have to spend tons of troops to now salvage what they could for just the TH. Not to mention they had to get through a tanky TH before actually striking defenses.

Now what was the point of this?

When I was TH 7 I was in gold leagues and would get hit by people with significantly better troops such as lvl 5 archers and barbs which could do some pretty good damage against a TH 7. Not to mention the TH 9's that would attack despite the loot penalty. With this set up I could focus a ton of firepower on 1 point in my base which had a pretty high chance of being attacked regardless if the player was TH sniping or actually attacking my base. So regardless of the attacking players intentions I would either win some trophies from their attempt to snipe, or I would have a high chance of warding off a legitimate attack from my TH buying time for the defenses to soften them up.

People who do this dont have any reason! They put there th outside for free shields but put all there traps around it to make sure that they dont get free shields??!!

They do this to troll someone into starting another thread about Town Halls with Teslas Outside...and it worked. See the new thread I just posted about "Lightning on DE storages..."

Personally I put my th right in the corner and surround it with decorations, to show there's no bombs/teslas... Meaning I get a nice 12h shield overnight rather than getting (potentially) done over for 250/250/1.5+. Keep trolling, I know I prefer the free shields. xD

Anyway if the tesla pop out and you're not strong enough to give a lessons just leave it. There are always a stronger player will come to their base in one night defending

I already learn to never give shield to this kind of players, whatever they say there are no moral on the reason.... to gain trophy from the corner TH ? if they're really a trophy pusher player they put their TH inside and def like a man. It's completely dumb trolls which is begging for shield but want to harass the shield giver

One reason i can tolerate is they do it for funny reaction from the newbie player, then if the newbie fail to giving shield it's funny to see who will drop next

For trolling

Despite getting my base 100%'d, from time to time some trophy hunter will fail their attack and I enjoy watching it.

Example of a funny replay:

It's a game. People just do it to have fun.

Mwahahaha back in my TH 6 days I loved hitting heavily trapped bases. The only thing that would stop me is if AQ was tricky to get out of the way and if an IT was around. It's easy to bum rush trapped TH unless they put a bunch of buildings in front to mess up troop AI and make U put down several troops plus push back spawn point.

To the OP- it is to gain trophies not free shields I would think against weaker opponents that can't attack the main base. So they don't lose much loot plus gain trophies if the raider failed. Yes yes it is expensive to reset bombs but if they have a lot of gold it would be a decent idea IMO.

On my town hall 6 -which I'm up in crystal- if I go to snipe someone and they have teslas I zap their dark elixer. I also make sure to take the town hall because I don't enjoy -20 trophies.
