lol, it has happened to be quite often.Quote:

Prolly going to use this when my th upgrade finishes
Have you ever been hit by an all dragon raid on this base? I've seen that loons are held up pretty good.
Yeah I was hit with 2 Dragon attacks back to back on my war base. I took the same layout, but removed the core and put my townhall in the middle. I will upload the pic a little later my ipad is at home. Anyway the guy had an all Drag attack L3 and one L4 in his cc plus heroes and i defended, 46% but i did have an L4 Drag in my cc ;)Quote:

Unfortunately, in addition to archers he also had 5 minions in his cc that flew over the big bomb and got some random outside building for the 50% win. He was probably so happy he sent a clan message for everyone to see LoL.
Give me a few and i will edit this post with my war base pic.
I probably would recommend against using it if you are a new TH9 as it does require a strong core since the only defences in the core is the CC and xbows. A few individuals have posted quite a number of logs that without a strong core, they were hit quite hard.Quote:

If you are worried a bit more on Gowiwi/Gowipe and giant/wiz, you have to move the bombs outside of the path of the defences (sacrificing the defence vs hogs). This can be between the outer buildings (preventing early hits although they can be triggered a bit easier) or into the layer of non-defences which is my preference as I don't want to keep having high costs while resetting traps. The early prevention can save a lot more storages though but considering the reset costs, I'm giving up one or two storages vs these armies.
Just got Ballooned in G1 with your latest version. He attacked from the left with 18 Ballons and 87 Minions. 3 Rages and 2 Heals. Got 2 of my Elixir and Gold Storages + my DE and then used his king to get the third elixir storage. Any tips? I'm a totally maxed TH9.
Seems like quite a bit of change, did I miss the posts where you decided to take out the initial funneling?Quote:

In my view, there's not much you can do vs a smarter attacker. I see that you've made champs, and in many cases, that's attacking vs maxed th10s. It's more of playing vs the AI. Especially in lower gold leagues, being that you are done with gold in a sense but just for walls, protecting the opposite side where the DE is may not be as crucial so you may want to move the teslas or traps to further strengthen the bottom side rather than having it all symmetrical.Quote:

The removal of the funneling was more or less due to higher trophy farming, in gold, I would still incorporate it in but higher up when the attacks are much heavier, having more compartments was crucial to deal with gowiwi/gowipe to have a chance at saving any storages. In addition, I closed the funnels to avoid the issue where the balloons/hogs cleared out one side of the base and the heroes had an easy way into the storages. Adding that extra wall was useful to see them getting stuck on it with the latest update.Quote:

I like this a lot, I plan on hanging in g1/g2 while grinding out legos. What do you think of changing those corners to the picture below or even a normal L shaped corner? Making it pretty, is unfortunately semi important to my silly self...

I think it looks quite good as the corner is a kill zone for archers. Now that I'm seeing it again, I kind of remember why I moved away from the 3 big defences in the corner. The problem I was facing was that with giants and funnels, once they cleared out a corner, they simply walked out of the corner and into the funnel rather than being slowed down moving by the walls. This in some cases lured out the CC troops outside of the walls making it easy to pick off if they weren't properly lured. I'm fairly certain that was the reason why I moved towards having the tesla in the corners instead but it has been a while.Quote:
