The Stingray: A TH7 Farming Base with an unlurable CC and funneling
The Stingray
The Answer To All Your TH7 Farming Needs!
Attachment 52748
After trying several TH7 base designs that weren't just quite up to my standards, I decided to make my own. After much trial and error and thorough testing, I proudly present to you the Stingray. I started with the clan castle. Being a member of the Reddit Clan System, I am never short of good troops and wanted to make sure I get the most I can out of them. The clan castle is one of the strongest defenses you have available at TH7. Next I moved onto splash damage. The mortars are placed in a triangle formation to optimize the amount of ground the cover. I have placed them close enough to cover each other, as well as the entire base. I also placed the wizard towers in a position where they cover all storages. I placed the point defenses, (cannons, archer towers) evenly spaced around the entire base for maximum coverage. Lastly I placed the air defenses, I chose to put them near the outside. Placing air defenses on the outside is usually discouraged, but I have had great success against giant/healer attacks and dragon attacks. Lastly, through trial and error and lots of testing, I created the funnels and found the optimal position for all of the traps. This base does very well against a wide variety of attacks. A log of defenses can be found here; http://imgur.com/a/LkmKc It holds up well, even in Crystal 3. A clan-mate is also using it in Gold 3 with stellar results.

Features of the Stingray
Centralised Clan Castle
-Clan Castle is the most important defense structure at TH7
- Only pre-attack-lurable by defense targeting troops
Triangulated Splash Placement
- Provides maximum base coverage
- Wizard towers are offering maximum protection for storages
- Storages have lots of health and clump troops up for the wizard tower to kill.
Separated Storages to reduce losses
- By having separated storages, it reduces losses as attacker needs to decide where to attack from
DE Storage
-DE is a valuable resource to protect at TH7 as it is difficult to farm and you don't have a drill.
- Town Hall exposed to invite TH snipes for free shields to protect your resources.
Funneling & Tested Trap Placement
- Advanced funneling and tried and tested optimal trap placement.
- Giant bomb inside to roast some hogs that come too close!
Staggered Junctions
- No X Junctions means less compartments broken into when a wall is destroyed
Spread out Point Defense Coverage
- Having spread out point defenses allows for maximum coverage of the base
Both left and right side are symmetrical
- Great for people who are OCD
- Symmetry looks great

Note how the core stays intact in almost all the attacks, with the gold storages untouched.
