Introduction
After having been through so many types of Labyrinth Designs, I figured it would be nice to feature one that has a black hole. For those of you who are not sure what a black hole is, a black hole is created by accident or on purpose; it is usually a spawn point in the middle of the base allows enemy attackers to start his attack from there.
The fun begins when the attacker spawns next to the PEKKA statue. And being a black hole type of base, I have named it.....Black Statue.
"By the statue we started our attack...and by its stoned cold gaze we perished one by one...."
Design
Designing this base was no easy feat. It's really weird seeing that hole in the middle and having to build up different sections of the base to make it non-symmetrical. For some odd reason, symmetry isn't my best friend. The more non-symmetrical my base is, the stronger it gets.. :eek:

The center of the base is featured with 2 routes- one pathed for defense (giants/hogs), the other for resources (other troops). I deliberately placed the Dark Elixir near the spawn point to tempt attackers into attacking straight from the core. :rolleyes:
But at the same time, the spawn point is guarded by her Majesty and his Highness. Spawning in the middle would mean certain and quick death from the 2 heroes and CC troops.
Giants will head for the southern cannon and move on towards the other defenses and get sprung away pathing slowly southwest/east along the defense line, slowly being removed from the battlefield.
All 3 mortars are aligned to target the spawn point- basically, all tier 1 troops will be smashed instantly by 3 simultaneous mortar fire. Coupled with the small bombs that line the path towards the DE, the chance of survival for tier 1 troops is near 0%.
Xbows placed on two far fronts to cause enemies to be continuously fired upon wrecking havoc in his strategy and placed such that reaching them will prove a tedious feat.
Clan Castle seated next to the spawn point to act as a tank while enemy troops engage the CC and get smashed by defenses from all directions. (Credits to Garjik for the idea)
Of course, if the enemy decides not to spawn in the middle, they can attack the base like any other conventional base but would only get 50% or fewer of the total loot.
Pros:
-Awkward design makes attacking very difficult.
-Spawn point means certain death if deployed.
-Resources well separated.
-Splash defenses well spread out.
Cons:
-Not anti-hog.
-CC not centered.
-Slightly exposed air defenses (can be solved with xbows set to air + ground)
-Not symmetrical
