Introduction


After reviewing several of my TH9 base designs and based on the latest update, I decided to do away with the anti-hog design and modify Erebus to suit the latest meta.


Design

Base w/o any buildings:

Base with traps:

Base with buildings in place:

For the design, it is fairly straightforward. Compartmentalised secondary core to house the primary resource with giant bombs and air mines to destroy any foolish army compositions thinking that they have reached the gold.

Mortars placed on the north, east and west of the base to prevent any luring of CC. Studying how most attack patterns would come from the east and west, spring traps are placed on both sides to take giants off the battlefield as they plough through one defense to another.

Miniature funnels in front of gold storages to prevent archers from sniping them and allowing wizard towers to melt them down.

Teslas/giant bombs interchangeable depending on how the player wants their core to have more firepower.

Pros:

-Anti-giant/healer
-Anti-Barch/BAM
-Unique design on east and west of base to spring off giants
-Forward-built funnels in front of gold storages to zap tier 1 troops

Cons:

-Possibly weak against TH10 level troops
-Not anti-GOWIPE.

Replays (Conventional)

-Coming Soon!-


Replays will be added along the way. So far, no really fierce/actual attacks yet.

Do leave any feedback as usual. Looking forward to see how this base works out.;)

FIRST! Nice base :)

Thanks!! :D

This looks really good! Can't wait to see how the replays turn out.

Yet another awesome base Avernicus :) Although its meant to be anti-hog, why isn't there double gbombs to fry the pigs? An attacker could easily place a few healing spells along the way. Also, you should specify which replay is representing.

Well there are giant bombs on the northeastern and southwestern angles of the base. O.o

Thanks for the headsup. I'll add the appropriate header for the replays. :D

Thanks u very much Arvenius, i have used your base design for many time it work for me but now i have a problem. I have a lot of Dark Elixir in the Storage and i usually lost 1k-1k2 when in raid:mad:. Could you design 1 base to protect it, i need to buy my AQ. btw thanks your base is freaking awesome. ;)

Try Dark Desires if you're TH8. If your TH9 try the Prime B.

Haha i like mine slow grilled. LOL :rolleyes: but yup. Noted. I need to see how the replays turn out den i'll prolly make changes to it.

Lacking in the double giant bombs department for the anti-hog. Also, I'm pretty sure you could change every other anti-hog design to a conventional design :/ so I wouldn't really have that down as a 'special feature'. The design itself is pretty good i suppose, but it's definitely not the best I've ever seen. Exposed wiz towers (on the anti hog) and a rather weak core of just 2 lvl 1 xbows? Don't think so buddy.

Having a ring is all well and good, but it's useless if you're not going to kill the hogs going around it. Double giant bombs and a stronger core would help. Clan castle is in an ok place though.

Really nothing to stop a half decent giant/archer army (don't even need a healer) from getting at least 2 gold storages (especially if the giants used are level 6). Xbows don't do anything to giants, so you will be totally relying on spring traps, which will not stop the archers from taking the gold storages. Air defences are placed ok, with decent coverage.

Verdict: Nice, good looking farming design, but not very unique in any way and offers no solid anti-hog defence.
6.5/10 (I'm a harsh marker:))
