Th 8 farming base "The Arena"

Attachment 87892
Introducing "The Arena"! A completely original (to my knowledge) th8 farming base.
The Arena uses the AI pathing to the advantage, letting the enemy think he has the upper hand.
And yet he is playing into your hands where you can crush him!
The purpose of this base is to keep the enemy away from the middle by providing little resistance around the base.
I have tested this base for a week and so far the only person to get more than 1 star was a th9 with a level 8 archer queen.The base was unfortunately 3 starred. So I do not recommend this base for pushing however it may scare of those pesky hogs.
Here are some pros and cons:
Pros
•Any goblins the attacker has will go around the base for the lower level storages.
•The elixir and gold storages are interchangeable.
•The dark elixir storage is well protected.
•If the second wall is penetrated the wizard towers will eliminate any troops in bunches.



Cons
•The clan castle is lurable if they try.
•Can only protect two resources at a time the other is used as a distraction.



Let let me know what you guys think if you like the base feel free to use it. If you use it in any videos please give me credit!Clash on!

seems really nice good job i'll try it out :)

looks decent

even though the DE storage is only 2 layers of wall away from the top, it still feels protected

mortar - wiz tower position looks nice

Thanks guys if you use it let me know how it works maybe share some replays! 😄

2 half hog rings in west and east side. Good splash coverage. DE centralized and 2 storages well protected. 3 storages are barchable. CC is lurable.

I suggest you don't trap your TH and move it to a corner. Move that tesla guarding your TH and place it where the GB is on north section. Move GB beside the AD on north section and remove bombs besides spring traps and place 4 beside the north AD oppsite the GB.

The layout is ok and looks more like a DE protection base than a farming base since only 2 storages and DE is well covered.

Please show def logs and test in higher leagues since you are only in S1.

Ok I'll test it in gold two maybe?

G1/G2 would ve ideal since alot of high 8s, 9s and even 10s farm there. Just max your storages with resources and break the shield if you get sniped.

You should have all the logs and tweaking to improve your layout in around 2 weeks.

I like the base. I would move the TH to the North. If their troops progress further, they will be hit by the bombs. The giant bomb is too costly over there, it will be triggered easily by snipers. I would stick it in the NW/NE corner. If they go for the mortars with giants and WB, giants will die quickly from the giant bomb, skeleton trap, and wizard tower.

So put the th at the top and put the giant bomb behind it?

I would move the giant bomb to the NE nook by the mortar. Any bunched up tier 1 troops will die from the small bombs and mortar hits.

You don't want to constantly rearm giant bombs for a few barbs/archers, since it costs 17.5k each time for a level 3 giant bomb.
