Rate my th8 hybrid
So I can't remember exactly who made this base, or where I saw it. So the base structure of this villagehttp://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/item...rrow-10x10.png isn't entirely mine; it was anti-hog originally.
However, I modified it to accomodate my own needs. At this moment in time I have no use for elixer (as far as upgrades) and once I gather another 3mil gold for teslas, I only need walls. So in short, I never have a lot of gold sitting around.
Pros,
- My most favourite part of my design is my clan castle which, without destroying my walls, and starting an attack - bar using hogs/balloons - is completely unlurable,
- Effective at combating mass dragon/balloons with maxed, centralised, air defenses and spread air mines,
- Reaching the middle means nothing; as far as gaining loot goes,
- Spread out storages mean I lose 1, possibly 2, of either storages on a raid,
- Tried and tested 'choking points' to combat tier 1 troops with splash,
- Centralised mortars cover all storages, each other, and the townhall,
- No X junctions,
- Various potential big bomb/teslas to elude the enemy,
- Thought out trap placements, no waste, no pre triggering. Springs in the center take out up to 12 giants,
- Spread out point defenses mostly within range of the center.
Cons,
- Large inner core make high level heroes, high damage soaking units, and mass giants, that do reach the middle potentially deal a crazy amount of damage,
- Hogs, once reaching the center, will be extremely effective at 2 starring me,
- Fairly easy for skilled barchers to get 50%,
- Not symmetrical,
- None central townhall means potentially my left side would come across as a more viable side to attack from,

So I tried to make specific points in my base where I can maxamise the power of my splash defenses and that means hitting groups of troops. I have bombs to 'stagger' mainly tier 1 troops while my mortar shells land. This is so much more effective, in my opinion, compared to obvious funneling with springs to combat giants.

A few of my most recent logs, baring in mind i've been 2 teslas and 2 archer towers down lately,
Mass archer/giant defense!

Conclusion,
So as you can see, this base defends very well against a variety of different attack strategies!
Although I am at silver 1, hovering gold 3, farming walls etc. This base has took me to master league and back. However, in masters I had my th outside and my DE storage taking its spot, and a gold storage to fill the space.
A new season started very recently and i've already won 4 defenses.

I'd appreciate any feedback, any glitches you see in my defense and any and all impovements are welcome!
Also, as my first, proper, post with pictures, how did I do?
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Hmm... Looks decent I guess. Really like the staggered junctions.
