The 'temptation' was a good concept, but it had terrible defence placement and one sided trap placement. This base also has rather lackluster defence placements with pairs of air defences right next to each other. I understand the 'pretend to be a bad base' thing, but I think gigantic flaws like the 4 wiz towers stacked at the top of the 'temptation' (which makes it really vulnerable to balloonion from the top) and the paired up air defences in this base really kills its appeal. Air defences are often critical in stopping the mass dragon attack, and I have seen attacks where 3 lightning spells are used to take out air defences before the dragons are even deployed. This base would not hold off a mass dragon attack with 2 air defences left, even if they are maxed. Also consider that a level 4 spell factory would have 1 spell capacity left for a rage or heal, so clan castle troops would not pose much of a problem. I think the bases you make could work well only if there are very high level troops in the cc such as witches/golems, which are inaccessible to people who are not in high level clans.

Just something to consider ;) still love it every time you post a new base design.

It was a process to get this base to that point, my other variation which was good had the air defence separated more. It's rather difficult to plan for everything, so you got to play the odds.

In the temptation base, I wasn't getting ballooned much I was getting hogged often. So the wizard towers in the back seemed to lure hogs to start there ... Hogs got decimated when they started there, but I knew ballonion would ♥♥♥♥ me thier so stack it heavy with air traps, and cross your fingers.

Like with this base, its whole design point is to get people to just hit me head on from the south. The double air is more of a strength than a liability in this particular case.

Btw glad you like my base designs ;)

The replays showed above are joke, who uses giants and archers for CW?

Trust me I am really hoping to get into wars with skilled attackers, but I keep getting suckers!

Only 1 x-bow, no AQ, no 4th telsa, new walls are all weak. I'm basically still a TH8 at this point, and the base still did amazing in this last CW.

Here is what my base looks like:

Notice the empty spots for the missing buildings and the lvl 1 wiz tower. Here are the 2 attacks:

I'll keep you updated with future clan wars attacks as I upgrade my base. So far, it's awesome!!

Also: Do you have a mass drag or dragloonion attack on Sucker Punch yet? That's what our TH9s are seeing in wars a ton since the update.

Not yet on the "Temptaion" or for a mass dragon. However with my earlier versions of "SuckerPunch" mass dragons didnt fair to well, but ballionian usually gets 1star.

Mind if i test? Im a new TH9 with all my new toys.

I tested this base in our last cw. Just made some minor changes in the setup.

It was a pleasure to see how the opponent had a challenge to beat this base in the last hours.

10 attacks in total

• 9x0 stars
• 1x1 star

Here a some examples...and dont forget: This is just a game.

It amazes me that people still try to hog TH9s and it also amazes me people don't know how to use Dragons and Balloons correctly, he put ALL of his balloons it two places... and didn't even try to go after the Wizard towers.

I'd like to see a proper balloon attack or a Gowiwi or Gowipe on this layout. Working through those storages would take a bit, but I bet they could get the 2nd star fairly easily. Don't know though.

Nice base although an experienced player can beat it. An intermediate players has large difficulties though. It was sad to see from your video that people one by one failed to lure all cc troops before they dumped all they troops. Dont people watch the videos of previous attacks before attacking themselves or are they just unable to count what has come out? Also, luring difficult cc like this one requires some skill, it does not work just by sending hogs one by one. A nice video.

so true. post a base design with traps shown everyone is a genius at how to three star it

I'm not a maxed TH9 but I'll give it a shot for this war.
