So what are you going to do with your new mortar

This is not a complaint thread.So the 4th mortar has been added recently (its extremely annoying and irritating though,not a fan one bit).What are you guys deciding to do about it?
1)Leave it and build it in th9 or 10
2)Build it but let it sit in a corner so your base design remains intact
3)Build it,max it,and throw some other thing out of your base
4)Try to design a new base incorporating the mortar

I am currently opting for option #3

I'm deciding between options 3 & 4 from what you provided.

I really don't want it as a TH8...:( One more thing to upgrade and no space to put it anywhere.

Why wouldn't you want something that deals splash damage and can seriously derail a full on attack?

Im just using it to trap my Town Hall, I personally don't like the new mortar.

I'll stick it in the far corner of the map and upgrade it - then I'll decide...

I am going to let it sit there and screw up ai pathing until it is maxed and then switch it with another defense.

I am going to do a modified option 2. I am using Dark Defendum and am currently an almost maxed TH8, so there is nowhere it really fits in my base. I will probably build it, max it, and put it somewhere on the outside of my base, but not in the corner. I will probably put it on the side that I want the troops to attack from. I figure if they see an unprotected mortar, they may be drawn to attack from that side because they know they can take that mortar out relatively easy.

it's going in the corner. its introduction is pushing back my plans to upgrade to TH9 in 10 days. by the time it finishes going to lvl 6, I'll need to completely redo my base again anyways.

It's simply beneficial to any town hall 8. Its something to defend that you didn't have before.
I'm upgrading it as we speak to lvl 2

Yeah I would've rather not seen an extra mortar introduced. But since there was...why wouldn't you use it to your utmost strategic advantage? All of your opponents will be.......

Its not that its not good.It just wasnt asked for.And its personally irritating for me that I had just finally had my splash damage maxed but SC says at the last moment that "Whoops,sorry bud.You need 2 weeks more for that now"
I just wanted to be done with th8 now and only arch towers and cannons were left

Possible configurations for 4th mortar are being suggested by users of DD. I will soon be adding my own variation as well.

I am a TH9 now so it's little hard for me to test the designs :(

I'm using it in my base....upgrading to lvl 5 now....
