First, I just want to say that this may be the best farming base I've ever built. Took me a few days coming up with this idea and lots of tweaking around to fundamentally defend against all popular attacks. It has a good balance of everything you want in a farming base. The biggest problem I've had with a TH 9 farming base had always been protecting my DE Storage against the Archer Queen. But now I have finally figured out a way to prevent her from attacking the DE Storage in the core! Before I get into explaining the concepts of this base, let me first introduce the base:

Introducing the Hypercube IX...

NOTE: If you are helping test this base, then please do not rearrange or move anything! Everything plays a role in this base and is intricately placed and spaced.

With walls only:

Thanks to my clanmate Eero for these pictures!

Concepts:

- High DE Protection

• Anti-Archer Queen Core - The core of this base is specially designed to keep the Archer Queen away from targeting the DE Storage. She will instead be funneled around the core as she targets the outside buildings and inner builders (Teslas, Xbows, or Archer Tower). While quickly getting annihilated by these point defenses. She will NOT be able to target the DE Storage until she or another troop has broken into the wall enclosing all the defenses.

Red lines denote a range of 5.6 to 6 tiles, enough for Archer Queen to avoid attacking the DE Storage from outside this core.

• Anti-Barbarian King and Pekka Core - Open ring core and secondary compartment forces the Barbarian King and Pekkas to roam around it while getting quickly shot down by Teslas, Xbows, and Archer Tower.

• Highly Potent Core - High HP Gold Storages, Elixir Storages, Air Defenses, and DE Drills all surrounding the second open-ring compartment behind an abundant number of point defenses (Teslas, Xbows, Archer Tower). So the defenses take full advantage of the high HP buildings and the open ring.

• Anti-Giants and Anti-Hogs - Giants and Hog Riders are funneled around the base, so as to not get inside it. Air Defenses are well spaced so they don't attract Giants and Hog Riders. Here's how Giants and Hog Riders will be funneled:

Red lines denote the direction Giants and Hog Riders will travel. They will mostly go around the base, rather than inside it.

• Double Giant Bombs - effective placements of these will quickly eradicate a group of Hog Riders as they get funneled around.
• Spring Traps - Also aligned towards the direction of defenses to effectively catch 3 Giants or Hog Riders traveling throughout.

• Air Defense Funnel - Air Defenses are well placed around the 2nd open ring compartment to funnel Giants or Golems around it while getting shot by point defenses in core. This is if the Giants manage to get inside after first removing a substantial amount of your outside defenses.
• Anti-Giant/Healer - Giants running around with Healers will be easily targeted by Air Defenses as the Giants get funneled around and away from Air Defenses.

• Anti-Balloonion and Anti-LavaLoonion - Balloons will be funneled the same way Giants and Hog Riders are funneled, they will stray away from the inner defenses and the Air Defenses going along the paths of the outer defenses and getting shot by Air Defenses at the same time! Lava Hounds also won't enjoy attacking this base with each Air Defense protected by a Seeking Air Mine, and multiple air-attacking point defenses in core. Make sure to also have your Skelly Traps set to Air!

Red circle denotes the direction Balloons will travel while getting shot down by Air Defenses (denoted by Orange circles)

• Anti-Mass Dragons - Air Defenses are all surrounded by high HP Storages. Dragons will spend a lot of time getting through high HP buildings while getting shot by Air Defenses and an abundance of air-attacking point defenses.

• T-Junctions - Multiple well-placed T-junctions around the base to lure in Wall Breakers, making it harder for attackers to break into base:

• Unlurable Clan Castle - Although unlurable against Barch and Giants, can be easily triggered by Hog Riders or Wall Breakers. Clan Castle may be substituted with DE Storage (only recommended if your DE Storage is empty) for better protection.

• Decentralized Heroes - Heroes on defense are well placed to pull troops away from the core and not towards it!

------------------------------------

• Intimidation - High Rate of Snipers: This is a very big base, occupies almost the whole base. This will restrict attackers from precise spawning of troops towards their desired direction. Large bases also force most people to snipe your Town Hall, giving you a free 12 hour shield! This is the basis, key fundamental of all farming bases, getting your attackers to attack your TH foremost.

• Unpredictable - This base has quite a large number of empty tile spaces, which basically means that it's extremely unpredictable for attackers. Giant Bombs and Double Giant Bombs and Tesla placements can be very hard to predict. Here's how the base looks for an attacker:

• Limits the effectiveness of Spells - With a large base like this, number of empty spaces, defenses spread out, etc... It ultimately limits the full effectiveness of Spells. Rage and Heal Spells have a 5 tile radius, which has a 78.5 tile square unit area. The whole inner parts of this base has a about a 900 tile square unit area!

More Logs and Replays coming soon! Please help test this base. Thank you!

Uploaded the first defense replay showing the anti-hog riders aspect of the base:

Here's another defense with the updated version against Lv 40 Archer Queen and GiBarch:

Incredibly solid base by the looks of it. I would try it if I hadn't just finished my th10 upgrade.

Really like it! :o


However, you may want to take that GIF down, as it is against forum rules.

Change the image at the top. As per the rules, you are not allowed to use gifs in any of your posts or avatars. I'd also change the name of your base. It just so happens that there's a TH8 base by a base designer by Orz named Tesseract, and it's a very successful war base from what I've heard. Probably not a good idea to pick a name that a very good base is using, you're facing down some criticism just on the name itself. Now, you don't want that happening, do you?

As for the base, I don't find it anti-AQ. She is not going to run around the base like what you showed in your calcs. She's going to take down the surrounding defenses adjacent to her, in a corner then shoot down the DE. I'm not very find of the ring that contains all 4 gold storages. She might run a bit, but it's not going to take too much for her before she targets the DE.

I love it ash, very solid

I'll try it when I get to necessary TH lvl:)
But when I do so, there will probably have updates that will make it outdated... Sigh...

Well you haven't tried the base, so you're just theorizing right now. The way it's designed, she will not target the DE Storage until all the surrounding buildings/defenses have been destroyed because her range prevents her from doing so. She will NOT be able to target the DE Storage until she or another troop has broken into the wall enclosing all the defenses. I will try to get a video proof of how this works.

And okay, I'll try to come up with a new name. Thanks!

I like it, do the surrounding the DE serve a purpose? Just wondering not putting the base down i just like utilizing all walls for a purpose. Other than that I might have to use this base

Serves multiple purposes. One is to have troops like the Barbarian King run around it as he will target the defenses around the open area, avoiding the DE Storage. It also confuses the Archer Queen in a complicated manner, preventing her from attacking the storage.

And thanks, glad you guys like it. Be sure to share defenses if you're trying this base out!

Interesting base, but I'm confused. Aren't you a Th10 now? How did you make pictures looking like an almost maxed Th9?

Also, I know this is in testing phases, but naming a base as omnipotent is a LOT of hyperbole, especially for a TH9 base... Any Th9 can 3 star any other Th9 with proper troops/spells and deployment. You don't need this sort of language in your title to promote this base.
