The Knockoff: A TH8 Anti-Hog Base
Alright, so this base isn't entirely my build. I found a TH8 base on google images and I borrowed the core and storages layer but the defense placement and outer wall layout was my own doing. However, it did end up looking a bit like Kamikaze's Baconator on accident (hence the name.) I tried looking around to see if there are any bases that look like this so I don't end up reposting/stealing credit but I haven't found any. If it actually exists somewhere then im dumb. Anyway here it is:

Lately, all the TH8's in my clan have been 3 starred in CW on the first attack by the enemy clan. With this base, I can usually expect the enemy clan wasting 2 or even 3 attacks getting one stars on this base before someone figures out how to crack it and get the full 3 stars. At TH8, the CC is one of the stronger defenses so I designed this base with the mentality that if the CC troops survive, the base survives. So, I tried to have the CC pretty difficult to lure.
Features:
* Anti-Hog Ring
* Centralized CC
* Double giant bombs (next to wiz towers of course!) and well placed spring traps to deal with hogs
* A Tesla and Mortar core to help stop clean-up troops and heroes from getting the TH
* Storages in core to draw fire from wizards/archers/heroes to buy time for mortars and teslas to melt them down
Pros:
* Holds up against the average hog user and prevents what would be an easy 3 star on the first try
* Usable against mass tier 1 troops
* Hard to lure CC
Cons:
* Will fail against smart hoggers
* Very susceptible against giant-healer, balloonion, and mass drag from TH9 and TH10 since ADs are exposed
* If used in CW, the trap locations (specifically the giant bombs) can be revealed in replays and another player can trip them ahead of time

TH9 tried to hog me and brought a lightning for the CC. Nope.

Giants and a bunch of archers and wizards. Barely got the 1 star by 1 building. (Malaysia's 1st try)

Some giants and archers to break the ring. Still only 1 star. (Malaysia's 2nd try)

Another failed attempt at 3 stars. (Malaysia's 3rd try)

Not so good against balloons...

A mix of giant-healer and hogs which worked well.

Max hogs and max heal spells from their number 7 player that's TH10 after knowing exactly where all the traps were .-. (Malaysia's 4th try!)
All in all, this base is pretty good for wasting the other clan's TH9 and TH10 attacks on a lowly TH8. :p
