TH8 War Base :: Anti Dragons/Hogs

http://i.imgur.com/uIGUTq7.png

This base is designed to be anti-Dragon, anti-hog, and have some anti-GoWiPe elements as well!

It's been well tested in wars, and has proven to be successful in defending attacks! It's succeeded in many Dragon raids, allowing only a single Star!

In a recent War, a previous design showed that it had weakness if one were to throw some Lv6 Loons after clearing a larger space with their dragons, and they raged their dragon into the middle with the aid of my barbarian king leading him in. Needless to say, I reformed my base to be able to withstand these:

-I expanded the core so that I could hide the Air Bombs inside, and if balloons try to float in, they'll be shredded. I've also removed the Barbarian King from the core, and replaced it with an Archer Tower!

The CC is extremely difficult to lure without expanding far too many troops, and has proven to aid the base greatly in warding off ground attacks!

It has yet to be attacked via GoWiPe, but I expect that it would hold well considering how wide spread the base is. Hog attacks have been abandoned on this base for the obvious reasons!

Though, I've never even seen a HoLoWiWi attack, I'd like to say that because of the range on my Ads, it would be rather useless to attempt it.

I kinda like it, might try it out next war. I like the distance between the core walls and the second set of walls closest to it, seems it would detour troops a lot more from coming inside the core.

Can u show d base design picture

Just saying but against dragons I realized it would be much better having air defenses more spread out, while also being protected by storages. Having them all in the core makes it actually easier for dragons in my opinion.

in my opinion, thats a REALLY GOOD base. The only thing i would change, is i would put one of those giant bombs that are next to each other somewhere else. It looks like the northern half of your base is very vulnerable to hog attacks.

I think that comes down to attack preference. Let's be honest, there isn't a single th8 that can hold back a properly executed dragon/dragoon attack. I personally prefer to go up against bases with more spread out ADs (im a rage fan and typically two rage spells will cover both ADs plus whatever is in between them) because those are usually more compact bases and easy to path with rage. Now centered ADs usually means one of two things; 1) they don't know what they are doing and one rage and a heal spell will cover 2(even three) ADs and pathing is easy or 2) they know what they are doing and it's a spread form base where the dragons will circle the core getting pounded by ADs unless you path jus right.



Ok I got the link to work.

Very nice but storages aren't in range of ADs meaning dragons can clear a path from 6-9 come up that quardrent and rage over both ADs fairly easily.

Believe it or not, I've seen two TH9 attempts of that, and both failed. The double wide gap proves to be wider than one might think. The only time (and this was on a previous version) the base fell was to a Dragon raid that cleared an opening with dragons, allowing CC Lv6 Loons to come up into core where they took out 2/3 Ad under rage. That's when I redesigned to put the Air bombs in the core to help ward that off from happening again.

The other two attempts to rage the dragons into the core ended up with only 1 or 2 coming in to be pummeled with concentrated AD fire, and they didn't do anything, even under rage. Although, I can't say that this base would hold similarly under the same circumstances since it hasn't yet been tested. Hopefully though, this war, I'll have some confirmation.

I'm not the brightest guy in this game so don't take too much of what I say seriously, (I'm the guy that spent quite a lot of money on this game aka gemmer and recently made a huge mistake),but I think this base isn't that good because bases like this tend to fall victim to properly well thought out archer attacks. I've actually beaten bases similar to this with level 2 minions. It could be better in my opinion.

Are you saying "fallen" as in 1 Starred?

No I have actually three starred bases similar to this believe it or not.

I'm not going to say it's impossible -after all, it's a base specifically designed against dragons, hogs, go wipe, and giant-style raids-, but I'm sure that your circumstances upon meeting a base like this is wildly different.

You say you were using archers and minions?- My storages and mines are all used as meat shields on the outside of my base, so the splash damage would deal quite a bit a damage before they get into the first layer of defenses.

If you have found a base with storages on the outside, chances are that you encountered them in a Clan War; and I'm not judging you or anything, but why are you using Archers and Minions in a Clan War?

The only other circumstance is that I expect that you'd have attacked someone with a Similar base, but not the same, and they had to have been a rather low level TH8.

I was just attacked by two dragon raids this past war, and 2 Pekka raids, And I'm sure there will be more to come, because they seem to be determined to take my base down.

I'm doubting that Archers and Minions alone could take out my base (even if they were TH9 leveled troops), where even dragons and Pekkas couldn't even succeed.

Now I'm not saying this base is impossible to take down. A higher level TH9 attack will be able to take my base out with relative ease so long as their attack doesn't involve dragons or Hogs. I happen to know for a fact that GoWiWi would destroy this base; However, it's been proven to be extremely difficult to get past 2 Stars. And my most recent alterations saves my core from any balloons (and incidentally minions) from doing too much.

I rarely use minions in clan wars. For the most part, I use minions very similar like most farmers use goblins. I use dark elixir as a crutch to get regular elixir and gold. In wars, I'll do giant wizard archer healer combo and sometimes try the gowipe attack (most successful).

I'd say it'd fulfil the role you wanted it to well, but absolutely rekt (aka ez 2star) by GoWiPe. Then again, can't have a perfect base.

Great job on the design.

I'm not yet 100% certain of that. My base is quite wide, and I've already defended a few GoWiPes, because the Pekkas got lured outside of the core. I'm not saying that a ropily executed GoWiPe can't do the job, but it's a heck of a lot harder to GoWiPe than it looks! But there's a lot of room to improve against many attacking strategies.

The Major Flaw of the base is that it's an easy 50%, especially for anyone going for it! Although, it's almost impossible not to get 50% on ANY Dragon Raid, but even BARCH could get an easy 1 Star on it. The whole design of the base is to make it as impossible as I can to give up that second Star!

My main focuses in this base were to protect it from the most powerful (and common) attacks seen in high level Clan Wars: Hogs, Dragons, GoWiPe... And I think I've done a great job there, while still managing to put up a formidable fight to even TH9 attacks! Of 'course, there have been many attempts on my base already, and fact helps me to trust the base a heck of a lot more. The last war I was in sucked up 5 attacks, and the base only yielded 1 Star the entire War! Two of the attacks were from TH9s too. I'd say that for a good all around defensive base, this could be someone's answer. The only hitch is that they cannot have poor defenses. Ex: Ads are a must for defending Dragon attacks (which are by fort he most common); And Teslas help one heck of a lot for defending close GoWiPes!

I only recommend this base for people who have the defensive power to actually defend, because of how wide spread this base is, it really draws a lot from each defense to actually have to pull its own weight!

No picture mate, would love to see the base

No picture

Looks like ataraxia with some minor changes on the outer ring walls and a couple buildings switched. Might try a combo of it and ataraxia with archers in the middle.

Looks Good!

No offense but any smart dragon attacker would take a ♥♥♥♥ on this base. It's also weak to gowiho and gowipe.
