Ian's TH9 Anti-Hog Northern Tesla Trap

Hello my name is Ian and I like to build bases. On my trophy push masters, i decided to make my own base and test its limits in masters.

The Base:

How It works:
The Base is a that tempts the opponent to attack from the top because it is the closest way to the Townhall. When they deploy the hogs from the top, they expect to go straight into the middle through the motar.

What actually happens it the teslas pop up and draw them away from the middle

Totally agree. I would attack this in a heartbeat and fail miserably xD

bump......

Looks good might have to try this out. I'd play around with it to give better air coverage though.

Interesting idea, i like drawing people to certain locations.


You might be better off adding more spring traps up at the top, for instance between your tesla and wizard tower. I only say this because if your goal is to have people attack from the north you want those hogs to die as quick as possible.

An interesting concept but it doesn't seem to be working. As your defense logs show, every serious hog attack has starred you and gotten 50%+.

the archer towers have to be replaced by non-defensive structures or else the hogs will go into the middle

IMO a weakness is two of your AD are easily hoggable and untrapped too (plus far away from CC troops/hero so easy to destroy with a few hogs).

Throw lightning at a third slightly recessed AD and you have a base with one AD placed shallow in the base to defend against a strong drag/rage (1 rage prob all that would be needed) combo. In Clan Wars I'm guessing that base would get three starred that way (hog two easily, lightning third then mass drag/rage) although mass drag attacks are much less likely in regular farming.

PS- you mentioned for pushing not wars so as mentioned prob less likely to get hit by an all drag or drag/hog or drag/minnies combo.

you are right. the base is very vulnerable to air attacks. i usually get 2-3 stared by balloonion i guess i will try modify the base to get air defense in the core

move the mortor back the 1 square so the trap would work more consistantly

Not a bad concept, with a max TH9 defence that could well work really well.

There isnt a square back to move the mortar to.

seems to be working. 1star against a tough army in clan war.
