Thx doku.. :) I'm kinda confused making a good early TH8 farm base, either crushed by Lv5 or Lv6 Giants no matter what

No problem- all early-TH8s get crushed by other TH8s and TH9s, its normal.

Some tips to help improve your base:

1)Try protecting one primary resource at a time- this means more protection for that resource and less weaknesses and gaps (as I mentioned before the west elixir storage is a bit exposed). Though this shouldn't count for your own personal reasons as a early-TH8 because you still need both to keep your lab and builder's busy :)
2) Anti-hog utility doesn't work to its full potential- AI pathing can lead to core defenses.
3) BK placement and 2x8 gap discourages raiders from deploying hogs there (you'd want hogs to be deployed at or near the giant bombs as early into the raid as possible).
4) Place builder's hut on the south outside so to give the attacker some thought if there's a tesla located there
5) Extended arms on outer compartments should be closed since no spring traps are there- allow attackers to use up more WB instead of having them blow up key junctions
6) Funnels could be used better imo but still okay.
Extra Tip) Huts on the corner is pretty useless if you're farming.

Anyway, good luck and I hope to see more bases from you in the future :).

Don't worry, you still get crushed as near maxed TH8 as well :p. I have a lot of experience in that. I think the reason giant healer is wrecking you is because after the attacker enters a funnel, they destroy all the point defs in that region, so the healer can out heal the splash def. For me, that is a big weakness since giants will be able to destroy the defs in that funnel, then be heal spell/healer-ed to easily out heal splash damage.

Answer for tip :
1. I dont know whether to try protect all storages equally or trying to protect one at a time. at that time i make the base , i think i wanna try to protect all storages equally
2. That's why i say 'noob Hog-Rider peeps' :rolleyes:
3. ah yea i see i see, will fix it if i can
4. Already Fixed. i was meant to make more compartment for WBs to break :\
5. Will Fix it, thanks
6. If i did step 5 as you want, i think that funneling is the best possibility that i can do.
for extra tip : hahaha, i want to troll the raiders to, so that they ran out of time at 99%.

So thanks a lot for giving me a lot more Suggestions. I'll make another one.. but not now. :p

Really? oh wow, that means i dont really need peeps with Maxed TH8 Defenses to test it :rolleyes: hahahaha



Oh wait, so TH8 is more Trap-Reliant rather than Defenses-Reliant?

Well, I think being def reliant doesn't work defending against L6 giants since they have too much health and at TH8 you don't have good enough DPS on def buildings to kill them. Also heal spells really stuff you cause the giants don't die, and rage also stuffs you if the giants are taking heavy splash bashing a wall, then rage and they break through with ease. But using spring traps and redirecting the giants can either, take them out completely or make clean up troops more vulnerable. You can't heal a spring trapped giant! But in saying that, having SOME point defs to help take them out is useful, also point defs are good against heroes since we don't have x-bows at TH8 :(.
