Do you have lvl6 ad and tesla? Cuz that's really the only way to even hope to stop mass drags lol, I can try to lead them off somewhere but if u can't put em down when they get there it doesn't work.

Nice base design. I may give this a try some time.
For what it's worth, my base is TH8 and yet to be Mass Dragged. That might be because I've come up against bad opponents, but so far it has held strong.
Last war someone took out one of my level 6 ADs with a lightening spell, and still couldn't get 3 stars. Happy to post a replay if people like.
I used your base just to see if the pathing is good but unfortunately someone attacked me that was a th 8, not even a th 9 with a Golem Wizard Pekka Army and three starred it using only 2 spells (1 Heal, 1 Rage). So even though the base was asthetically pleasing it was not the perfect base as I 'would have expected. I like the anti dragon concept though because the base held up against 1 mass drag attack before the gowipe and the dragons were delayed and moved away from the air dfenses so 0 stars, but then its very disappointing when the gowipe three stars you and youre left to dry. Unfortunately the spring traps up the top were triggered by the golems and did not even do anything to it. I have a replay to post to you if you want to see it to see how you can improve your base in general. Maybe put walls around the teslas so that pekkas can reach they without breaking the wall once they get into the core because the attacker took down the core with ease even with my two level 6 teslas in the middle and it was easy game for the attacker from there. Sorry to be so clunt,but yeah this base could be improved and needs to be anti-something.
Ok so one war test down. Had a th10 attack with modded hog... 3 Stars. No discredit to the base tho. If anything credit to the attacker. If expect 2-3 stars from maxed troops th10 plenty of spells to use. 11 hours and I'll have another report, hopefully better. We won that war too, btw. Strong opponent but we use all our attacks. Hard to beat when ur clan is legit war clan.
Kirky...hats off to you bud.
Randomly came across this thread.I am a TH8 myself and on my way to max my TH.
I always do mass dragon attacks against other TH8s and sometimes gowipe.
But by the looks of it I can say this base is a tough nut to crack.Good Job.
Will try it in this war which I have today.
Sorry to derail the thread but what's 'modded hog'?Quote:

If conducted correctly at least one of these strategies are sure to crack up any th8 base. However, this base was designed very nicely and it was symmetrical so my OCD matters r gone haha :cool: . Now, lets break this base down into parts:
Pros:
- Triangular Air Defences
- Square Mortars
- Triangular Wizard Towers
- Archer Towers and Cannons in a consistent pattern and both of them form a Pentagon
Cons:
- The Double Giant Bomb placements dont work and there is no other spots than those areas to contain double bombs, so it doesnt keep the attacker guessing. Say the hogs come from the bottom left cannon or the bottom right archer tower. Their next target would be the mortar and then what is going to happen is those teslas in the core will pop up, triggering a few hogs after targeting tht mortat to split and head to the defences beside the de storage and some to split and head to the tesla. When some of the hogs head to the tesla, only one giant bomb will be triggered, which doesnt destroy lvl 3 or 4 hogs if the heal spell is then placed. This is one of the two possible ways a bomb can be triggered. The other way is if the attacker decides to attack from either 3 oclock or 9 oclock. Once the hogs clear up the archer tower on the left or the cannon on the right, they will then head over to the wizard tower. When the hogs r attacking the wizard tower only one bomb will be triggered yet again. other than these two methods, hogs wont trigger a giant bomb and it is pretty useless against hog attacks.
-The centered Air defences make dragon and loon too easy to get the three star. say if the attacker wants to attack from the bottom, all he needs to do is drop one drag on each side near the gold mine and elixir pump to break the funnel. next he could simply spam all his drags on the spell factory and rage em up. next he could summon his lvl 6 balloons from his cc so that they go straight to the core. under a heal and another rage, the black balloons would simply wreck the air defences in the core and leave the dragons cleaning up the rest.
My suggestion:
- Move ur core teslas out and place em between the 6 oclock mark and the elixir storage to the bottom left. this will make luring more difficult as the cc would then be basically unlurable. then remove those walls and make ur more the most far left and far right bombs and replace them to where the teslas WERE. This would make them both vertical, causing them to both be triggered at once.
- Next thing i would do is move ur top two air defences and switch them with the top two mortars. this would make it more difficult for dragloon attackers.
Great job on the base and keep it up :cool:
If you would like to grow as a th8 base builder, i suggest u have a look at this video:

I think hogs will bypass most of your traps clearing most defenses before hitting any bombs. Speings might clear some though
I cant find the link at the moment, but I got the phrase from a youtube video. It took me forever to figure out what the dude was sayin, but since looking for it, Ive seen it named a few names including but not limited to gowiwiho, modded(modified) hog, hybrid hog. Essentially it seems to me that its any variation of hog mixed with other troops, and typically used in clan wars to smash bases. Its much more strategic then say mass dragon. Can be and was devastating against this base of question. I have more to add, but this was specific and I thought needed a post of its own. So more to come with how this base faired in my most recent war.Quote:
