Need Ideas on my TH8 Farming Trapping Base

The idea of the base is to separate the resources in different compartment to minimize the chance of losing all the resources. The most dangerous troop combination against this base should be a lot of giants with Angels at the back healing them (at around 1400 trophy range). Since giants are weak when archer towers and cannons are focused on them, people attacking with giants wouldn't attack from either the left, right, or top side.


The weakest part of the plan should be the bottom left and bottom right side. Not many cannons and archer towers are covering these parts of the base. Therefore, skeleton traps, being set to attack air, are added to those places. Most likely, the attacker will send some wall breakers at the bottom left or the bottom right and destroy the outer wall and send the giants in. The anti-air rockets are planned to be destroyed. Once the anti-air rockets are destroy, he should send in the angels and the skeleton and seeking air mines should be able the kill the angels. With the angels destroyed, the giants shouldn't be able to go very far since the middle compartment is protected by quite a few cannons and archer towers.

I am still in the middle of leveling all the stuff up.

Have been using this base for a week and haven't encountered any strong attack after making the skeleton traps target air. I got hit by a level 5 lighting spells and lost two archer towers and the cannon in the middle. Not sure if they would survive when fully upgraded... So what do you think about my base?

[Edit]
Thanks for all the valuable ideas you guys are giving. I have modified my base a little bit according to some advises from you guys. Some I may add in a bit later.
1. Open up the walls between the outer cells. Traps are then put there to spring away some giants.
2. Modified Top part to make defense from the top stronger.
3. Put an archer tower in the middle to cover the outer cells when the giants wonder around.
4. Relocate the Seeking Air Mines to the side instead of bottom mid. Since angels are rarely put down in the bottom, because middle is being covered by 2 anti-air missile. (Thank Cherrycoke for pointing that out).
5. Move the Tesla Towers out of the bottom middle cell and put big bombs there instead.

i like it, except why the cannon in the middle!? Put the CC there and it'll be close to perfect.

Looks alright but I would suggest swapping the two archer towers in the middle with the mortars next to them, then maybe swap the archer towers with the cannons next to the air defence on the bottom if that makes sense. You definately need to swap the clan castle with the cannon in the middle because it can make a huge difference. Other than that the base looks pretty decent and well thought out.

I made your base - I used the same stuff a town hall 8 and your design, but just switched a few things from your base.

Because my friends never put troops in the castle lol... And the cannon was there to protect the bottom wall against wall breakers, since its the only spot in range so the cannon wouldnt focus on anything else but the wall breakers who try to kill the inner wall. But I guess may be it is not so effective since it is probably fast enough to kill only 1 or 2 wallbreakers before they go boom. I am thinking of relocating them.

Nice thought, I was thinking about swapping the archer towers with the mortars, but then I found out the upper part of the base would be more threatened by the giants. I want to lure the attackers to start their attacks at the bottom.

I am still observing if I need that cannon in the middle to protect the inner wall at the bottom or not, since noone really tried to send the wall breakers to the bottom. If the tesla towers are sufficient to kill off wall breakers i might as well free up that cannon in the middle like you said.

You are right, if i was attacking this base with giant-healer, I would come from the bottom and wipe out the air defenses first. Seems like a pretty good base though

Yeah thats why I put skeleton traps targeting air units at the bottom both sides. One guy sent in an angel and get killed in about 8 seconds after skeleton trap was triggered. He wasn't paying attention, or he would of sent in the archers against my skeletons. Need to level up my skeletons tho or it will be hard if the next attacker send in 2 angels instead of one. Also if the rage spells were used on the giants they would prolly be able to kill the 2nd wall quite fast.

I now removed a wall between cc and the archer tower, and put a trap there. I am trying to lure the giants towards the archer tower at the side after they destroy the cannon so that if they are under rage spell they would walk away from the area faster.

I used a similar design but people would get to middle and destroy the D with giants and rage. Ball designs are good or seperate defense and resources. Wiz towers should gaurd stirages

Did they come from top or bottom? The bottom of my base also had two single target antiair bomb which should destroy 2 angels. Without using angels, the giant would not survive being shot by so many archers and cannons. Also the middle cannon should kill 1 or 2 wall breakers if they approach the middle wall before the giants do.

Also if they time everything perfectly, without angels, even with the middle core destroyed, the giants should be killed when they approach top.
