The '3x3 Rubik's DE-Cube'
Intro
About me
Hey I'm Bundy from Unity Origins and this is my DE-protection base.
I'm new to the forum so thought why not introduce myself first, right? :D
Inspiration
This base was inspired by a base made by ~ beaker09 ~ [Unity Elite]. It was originally a th10 base but I converted it into a TH9 base and made it symmetrical.
Since I maxed my defences I don't need to stack-up any more gold. All gold I get will get instantly put into my walls. The only thing I need to stack-up is my DE.
Heroes level 15 and up (which you will most likely have as maxed defence TH9) cost 65k and will go up costd 5k more each level they get higher. When you need to save up that much, the maximum available DE as TH9 is available what will be 2.5k. While trying to save DE losing this amount will put you back around 2 raids farming DE. That's why I chose for a mainly DE-protecting base.
The name
I came up with the name because a Rubik's Cube has blocks width 3, height 3: 3x3. Not too much of a thougth I guess.
Enjoy !!!

Useful tweaks
As you see in the picture above I have my heroes put more inside the base. If you're going for DE mainly you will end up with upgrading both heroes on the same time. Since I like to keep 1 hero for war I'm doing 1 hero at once. If you don't need a hero in war or with whatever and you're upgrading both I would suggest to you to use this base set-up:

3x3 DE-Core
You may think why a core that small? My experience with using a common 9x9-core was that the defences with it attracted giants. A 9x9-core base is also (most times) in the form of a square, if you clear sides barbs and all other troops will get attracted by the core too. When they get attracted to it and start hitting those walls, wallbreakers will get attracted to walls what have already been damaged. With this design the troops will get around the 3x3-core and will destroy the compartments around it.
Some examples:

Radius
The radius of my cc may not be the best but look at the radius of the mortars.

Those 3 mortars are real killers against giants.
Can it defend against hogs?
A base as compact as this one most times get wrecked by hogs. So four your info I believe I only have had 2 hogs defences. The one below and a other one who got 2 hits with his AQ on my DE. Unfortunately I lost the last one, because I wasn't thinking back then about making a post about my base yet.
I will update when I get a other defence of it.

This are just poeple who aren't the best at hogging, i believe a good hogger will wreck my base easily since the lure is so easy. So if you get hogged a lot I wouldn't recommend this base. However with the new patch hogs are less used and a anti-hog base isn't the number 1 priority anymore.
If you have any questions or points you would like to see let me know!
