[Screenshot] Base Designs TH8

I will be moving up to TH8 pretty soon and I have been trying to come up with my own TH8 design, this has been my favorite so far. Any advice to change anything would be apreciated.

You should put your bombs after spring traps. Other than that i cant rly judge it unless its the real thing. Also please give advice before posting your own base :)

Will the troops be sucked into The Vortex never to be heard from again or will they emerge with riches?

You have definitely created an awesome layout! I like especially the funnels and staggered junctions. Definitely hard to get all storages when they are separated so well. Though it's seems easier to attack from the non-funnel side. With this I mean that no good raider would attack for example from the left side tesla funnel, but instead they would choose the area that's a bit lower, where there are a cannon and archer tower separated with an improper T-junction. Just my 2 cents. :)

Thanks, yes you might be right about moving the Tesla, in the week or so this base has been running, it's only been used once or twice. Splitting the central core would be quite a big move and I am not sure how useful because it's really only gobs that benefit from non-segmented cores and gobs don't get to the middle very often because the core is so compact...

Once archers or AQ get to the middle all is lost segment or not. Same is true for an air attack so I figure make it VERY difficult to get to the middle and risk a bigger loss if anyone does.

I really like the look of your base, I am a big fan of symmetry. It does rely quite a lot on the traps which I suggest are fairly obvious, as is the placement of the Teslas. Traps only spring once and I would certainly be suspicious enough to send a barb in first.

If I was attacking I would make a bee line for your DE store and I would hope to also pick up two of the gold storages since they are fairly close together. Close enough for me to use one rage for the two. With such a strong set of defences I wouldn't expect to get much more and tbh, I'd probably take one look at those wizards and hit next!

I like the way your air defences are scattered, no one is easily going to get them all and the wiz towers are placed as you'd expect. I am less sure about the placement of the point defences, your archer towers and cannons seem fairly randomly spaced. If you look at my base you will see I have pretty much spaced my point defences in an exact pentagon. This gives me almost perfect all around coverage.

The tips of the "vortex" are really exposed and those cannons could be taken out easily and cheaply. Looks good but not sure how efficient that is. What is your thinking about point defence placement, why have you placed them where you have?

You make a good point, both about my base and your base. I see what you mean about segmented core only helping with gobs, but better safe than sorry imo. Maybe make it segmented at TH9? Anyways about my base, do you think swapping the gold mine and cannons in the tips would help? Ill edit this post once i draw out the lines of how my splash is connected.

Hm, yeah it look like it could use some work. Ill toy around with it and see what I can come up with.

Due to this thread i have re done my th8 layout was cup hunting but its impossible to do at this level when my base gets beat every time lol wish i maxed out each th level!

The structure currently building is a wizard tower. The gold mine next to my cannon will be replaced with my air defence soon. Also, this is design better than the pokeball design?

Check out my base i posted on page 233. Its a similar shaped base but addresses some weaknesses i see in your design like WBs being able to open 2 compartments instead of only 1 in a few places. Also 3 storages will protect your gold better than 2.

To be honest, I have tested many TH8 designs, and the only good one that I have found is Junliang's original pokeball base.

How do you define good? And have you also tested pingfao's tesla theme park? And what trophy rage are you in?
