New base design! Introducing The Void
Prior to the update, many th 9s have resorted to using anti hog designs to combat those daring little piggies. However, with the addition of the new update (the giant bomb part especially) hogs have now become obsolete. On the other hand, hoggies are still dangerous to those who arent prepared, but this puts us players at a standstill, do we attempt to use an anti hog design on an off chance hogs will be used against us? Or do we take our odds? I say, we do both. Hogs cant survive against a clan castle packed with wizzies or witches, especially if its unlurable, well protected xbows will allow for continuous fire against hogs, though its not an anti hog design, hog users will have trouble tackling this design. Thus i am happy to present, the void

Pros:
- centralized and hard to lure cc
-pointed up xbows allow for air coverage as well as a decent ground coverage range (up to individual players discretion)
-base is 99% symmetrical
- good equalization of air defense and splash damage towers
cons:
-straight off the bat, this base requires a full cc, and having a major defense (air defense, xbow, etc,) upgrading will cause the base to be less effective
-is hoggable dependent on the opposition.
-elixir is exposed (if this in fact is an issue, feel free to switch elixir and gold storages)
Overview:
This base is designed primarily for gold protection and separation, with a small emphasis on de protection. Each side and corner of the base presents its own problems. Giant bombs at the corners will blow up any gobs willing to touch your elixir, hidden teslas on the side either lure your giants into two spring traps or two bombs. However, the real beauty of the design is, where you do start? The hard to lure cc has one weakness, the left side of the base (lurable with hogs or giants), but that is counteracted by the emphasis on splash damage on that side. Any other side except that one will give the attacker difficulty in luring the cc
Common occurrences
- Many attackers have used giants on the sides of the base, the lure with the teslas have been successful in taking many of them out
- attacks from the corners often times include goblins, to try and snatch some elixir and gold if lucky enough, however, gobs would proceed to attack collectors instead and go around the base instead of in
- not many attackers have exploited the weak side
- cc has terrorized many raids, especially with two witches inside
- base is highly susceptible from giants in corners
Special thanks!
I would love to give thanks to my clan, aureus luna, who has stood by me on my quest to perfect my design, who always supplied me with cc troops to make sure my night goes smoothly, and whos just the best clan ever.

The green circle shows the buildings that stayed, red circles indicate the gold storages hit (none were completely taken out) and red x's show the building hit and destroyed.
Overall:
The base attracted two th snipes. The one real attack kept all gold storages safe from complete destruction along with the de being protected.

(From top to bottom)-
1. (Other two ads upgrading) Mass dragon attack starting from top side, with an emphasis on the top right hand corner (bk was deployed there),
one heal and rage upon entry, got de storage (position will be changed), two elixir storages and a partial gold storage
2. Lvl 144 using a barch strategy with a few wizzies and minions thrown in, started from the bottom side, 5 spells, heals used in the storage compartments along with rage, single freeze was used on one xbow, resulted in two elixir and gold storages taken.
3. Th snipe
4. (Xbow and two ads upgrading) giant wizard strategy with 4 healing spells, wbs , arch and bk. cc was not full at this time. Attack began on the left side of the base, with the giants tanking for wizzies, and heals in the storage compartment. One elixir and two and a half gold storages were taken.
5. (Xbow and two ads upgrading) very weak loonian attack, started from the left side of the base and got into the storage compartments, however even with both xbows and ads upgrading, balloons could not progress further. Minions were sent in the southwest corner, and were promptly taken out by an air bomb, two elixir storages taken and a gold storage was damaged due to falling balloons.
6. (Xbows and two ads are upgrading) giant healer attack from the top right hand corner (ad covering was upgrading). Giants tank wbs to break through walls, giants destroy archer tower and cannon in the corner along with the elixir storage, however, giants then retreat from the corner to attack the teslas that pop up, giants split into two groups and are quickly dealt with due to defenses constantly damaging them. Infantry then should up to try to attack and destroy the exposed gold storage, wiz tower takes care of them promptly.
