Come on.... Why you do this?

it's so annoying.
They like seeing your queen get toasted so you have to wait for her to regenerate plus you lose trophies.
But I do it..
There are a few advantages.
1. They will eventually get to your TH but the teslas would have took down a substantial amount of troops. This weaken the main attack force if they have plans to raid your base.
2. Low TH looking for snipes will can toasted surely. Free defense win.
3. Pure Fun
They like catching noobs off guard and taking their trophies, or just making the th snipe more of an investment so you don't go and raid the base also. Personally, I love it when they do this and have loot, 4 less defenses defending their loot $$$$$$$
I always drop 1 archer... If the TH is sniped, i attack the base from the other side, and take as much loot as i can!

I love seeing this. I always drop 1 barb to test for traps, if the TH is protected the loot is so much easier to get and I just ignore the TH.
Because they prefer to have the rest of their base, where all the loot is, less protected so that we can steal it easier, because logic.
Personally I love it when people have defenses that could be protecting their loot in a corning doing nothing.
Drop 1 barb on th, then ignore TH and wreck their storage's. Sometimes I will even dive their storage's and then leave at 39% so they don't even get a shield so that someone else can come right behind me and wreck them again.
I always put down 1 barb to test for traps. If nothing, then I send heroes in. If there is, I just use my BAM or BARCH to take down the teslas.
I never used to do this because it just felt like a nasty troll move
However what i realised was that an increasing number of snipers were taking my TH and then attacking me full on for the loot! By having my teslas around my TH it forces the attacking player to make a decision either he switches to a farming attack and risks not getting the 50% and a win or he goes full out to take my TH expending significantly more troops than the 4 archers it was taking previously. This ultimately leaves him with virtually no troops left to then go on and attack the rest of my base.
At higher trophies th i trap my th usually. Its worth it. 99% of attackers won't do as Noerager. They want to be sure about win and drop enaugh troops to get th down and all these are off from attacking my loot.
But you could just NOT trap your TH and get free shield 97% of the time.... The other 3% you have more defence protecting your base and loot...Quote:

I'm still upgrading th10 stuff. Often having 400k gold or lix available. When you have much loot around, attacker very rarely just snipe.
Edit: When i'm at crystal, i don't trap th as there is so much snipers around.
To annoy you.
Seriously when you see a trapped th like the one you posted. Drop a single archer to check if its trapped...if it is then go all out attacking to the core to take the DE.
I never even "test" trapped town halls if they dont have enough DE to make it worth my time if it is trapped.
People put Tesla by their Town Hall because they want me to 50% their base for the 2-star instead of just giving me 1 star.
You don't know it? Well, you should try it and then you will know, But...
Lemme give you a spoiler first: it's fun to watch
Most people do it in higher leagues to prevent the TH3 snipers from getting to Champs or the like. Others do it to troll, or maybe think of it as cheap trophies, they have their motives. I feel in crystal or lower, it's just a jerk move.
I don't get it either.
They want a shield to protect thier loot but they're not letting themselves.
That's like realling wanting a game but not wanting it at the same time.
Makes no sense...
Because some people are mean
Unbreakable.
I do this occasionally because it's fun to watch the replay. Most of the time players drop 5-6 troops to take out my TH and then my Teslas blast them, followed by a confusing pause before they unload a good 80+ troops to clear them out.
The downside is when a really high level player attacks and gets hit by this trap they usually end up leveling my base lol.
Either way it's fun to watch.
Because they know people taking TH's don't hold heavy troops... however, I hold a lot of lightening spells and if you trpa your TH, I will take your DE!Quote:

That's why.

I love seeing TH trappers, especially with premie and/or bad setups on top of it.
Generally I drop an archer or minion, if the TH is trapped, I'll go in full force and take every bit of loot and leave the TH standing.
This is why I roll with a gowipe army ready. This guy right here , I will wipe his base very single time. OR the best is to steal his cash and leave at 39% so someone else can do it again.Quote:

And for many people, this strategy has a very high rate of success.
And the people that say they waste their troops and spells to set off all traps, kill heroes, zap, leave at 39%, etc. are really the ones acting irrationally and inneficiently.
I love it because it doesnt even slow me down i take th and then ignore loot and try to set off every trap so these morons have to spend 200 k to rearm
Never drop you queen. Always put down a archer first. If something pops up, drop 2-4 giants, with 10-15 barbarians and 10-15 archers. Problem solved.
Meanwhile, this does not take out too much of your army, and you still have enough troops to do a full-out attack on the other side.

When I hit a trapped TH outside, I use every troop to set every trap I can find, empty the xBows, etc. I think they should have to pay to rearm everything for wasting my time.
Noticed I see this above 3200 more than anywhere else.....fortunately I run with a hog army so not too much of an issue....especially when they use all of their giant bombs there too, goblins just love those things.
At least he gave me the heads up it was trapped.....

Some of them are using putting tesla near their outside town hall because some snipers lightning their dark elixir storage!! :mad::mad: so in exchange, maybe some trophies? :D
Some put it there just for the fun and maybe annoy the sniper, so sometimes the sniper simply does a main attack on the base instead
Some put it there as they are upgrading their tesla and probably switch the tesla spot for traps! ♥♥♥♥ :p
Fun to watch
You trap your th I will triple your DE storage. Wanna troll? I troll right back ♥♥♥♥.
I do it for the fun of it.
If I have my king, I just drop a barb to test then send in my king if its good. If not, I clear 2 or 3 teslas then drop like 4 or so archers away from remaining ones. If I have my queen, I place it down and activate ability immediately. Even if teslas pop up, I'm fine since I'll just drop giants to distract. Only thing to stop me then really is a big bomb or something.
I usually drop barbs or archer, but this time, i was very confident and dropped the queen. Btw, i destroyed the center and went for the loot... Farmed about 100k of gold and elixer.Quote:

Bro, i got your point. I'm in master 3, and have around 50k DE. It's very rare higher level player zap another, because he prives his DE too. It's more like a exchange of favours. Last time I zapped someone, was in cv7 to get my king.Quote:

A TH 10 in my clan posted a raid he did where he got 450k G/500k E and 3.5k dark on another TH 10. He put a few barbs down by the TH and up popped 4 max teslas. He then went in from a different side and leveled all the storages. Ended up with a 1 start but 95% of the available loot.
The funny part is that at the start of the replay you could see some grave stones near the TH. This most likely meant that some lowbie "tried" to give him a free shield and failed. I bet he wished he had that shield after he got stomped.
Possibly, but my townhall is outside, so I have a shield almost always when I'm not raiding.Quote:

One disadvantage that you may want to consider: Some people may actually get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off at the sight of the teslas and may decide to go either for your storages or for total destruction whereas otherwise they may have been satisfied with a cheap TH snipe. Just keep that in mind, bro :)Quote:

It works wonderfully. Attackers can snipe with a single queen or ~ 50ish archers.
I disagree, if I am going to snipe a th I have a sniping army. If I am going to wipe a base I ignore the th entirely. Trapping a th has 0 effect on my attacks.Quote:

So why do i do it?
The reason is simple it is one of the most effective ways to prevent a full out attack on my base! For years i like many other players on the forums left my TH completely unguarded believing it was the best way to protect my resources; however for the last 5-6 months i became increasingly concerned that probably about half the snipes on my TH then progressed into full blown raids on my village with significant amounts of loot taken. Initially trapping my TH was only intended to be a short experiment to see if this would improve this although i must admit i was concerned that players would be provoked and go for more of my loot. Must admit i was very surprised at the success of this strategy as the vast majority of players who attacked me simply pumped in troops until the TH fell and then quit these are players with troop compositions similar to players that in the past would have gone on to attack me!
I have been trapping my TH for the last 3-4 months now and i can't deny sometimes i do come across a player who does exactly what some players here would do to me they drop 1-2 test troops, when they realise my TH is trapped they proceed to go for my core instead. This doesn't really worry me though as raids like this are extremely rare and i can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of players who have done this to me in the last 3-4 months. Also zapping my DE isn't something that particularly works me up as this tends to be a relatively small loss compared to the amount i was losing previously when players went for my untrapped TH and then proceeded to core me anyway!
this is such a ridiculous attempt to prank someone. Hate when I encounter this. Stop being a d-bag and just pick a setup. If your going to farm don't trap your TH, there is no point other than to try to screw up some guy that is trying to push or just get the loot bonus. If you want to gain trophies, I don't see how this tactic will work. If someone is trying to push for trophies and snipe your TH they are not going to just give up when the teslas pop up, otherwise they would be losing 20+ trophies. And also when you have all the giant bombs and ♥♥♥♥ around there, then you have to spend money reseting traps. Why don't you just put your TH in the middle if you want to gain some trophies. Stop being a child.
Whenever I get screwed by one of these morons, I always punish them by going for their loot, when all i really wanted was to get the TH for the loot bonus. Are you happy now?! Thanks for the 300k gold and elixir and 3k dark.
So has it ever happened where you've defended because someone real low tried to snipe you? If so, was that ever followed up by a full blown attack?Quote:

I don't see how having your TH on the outside is going to encourage people to engage your base more? I never have this problem.
ok thanks:thumbsup:Quote:

My point is that the majority of players who attack my base carry a full army (usually giant based combos or barch but occasionally loon or hog based strategies as well) in the past they would drop 4 archers on my TH then full out raid my base. Now instead of this the majority of players drop 1/3 - 1/2 their army to destroy my TH at which point they probably do not feel they have enough troops left to have a realistic chance of hitting my core.
Yes you are absolutely right about that but my own personal experience is that this is much less likely to happen than if you have TH untrapped.Quote:

Maybe you are in a very high league or your defenses are not upgraded enough, so it seems like your base is an easy target for them or something. But hey, if thats what works for you than go for it. If I run into your base though, just know that I attacked you full on because I was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that you trapped your TH.
Sounds fair to me like i said i don't mind the occasional player who catches me out and spanks me in the core because my teslas are MIA. For me it is all about the percentages and for me the percentage of loot i lose with TH trapped is less than the percentage of loot i was losing with TH untrapped.Quote:

If they dont do that i wont ever try and revenge them back
I am a TH9 in M3. My normal army is balloonion. The M3 bonus is 100k/100k/500. If I see an exposed TH, I always go for it. Loot bonus is too good not to. Drop a minion, follow with heroes if clear. Unless they have awesome loot, I leave and keep looking for another target. I'd rather have two loot bonuses plus decent loot than 1 bonus and loot.
If the TH is trapped, it will mean waiting for troops to rebuild to take it. So I might as well go for the core instead. I've only lost 1 minion to the trap, so I should be able to hit the core easily with the Teslas out.
i did this a few times today with my max teslas, a few dgbs and 2 skelly traps.
it was fun but they usually ended up getting the th anyway even if it took their whole army and the rearm cost was irritating
This makes TH snipes more fun!Quote:

Because I hate it when I offer to do someone a favour and they bite my queen's stringing finger in return.
Not sure why you guys are dropping your queen straight up. I'll always drop an archer to test the waters first.
I'm not sniping. I'm on master 3, i was searching for any good village to raid, and this village shows up.Quote:
Originally Posted by Kowalski711

I don't worry about these at all. Attacking with loonion, 1 minion will detect the trap, then 8 loons will take out the trap easily, another minion or a hero can finish the job. Yes it makes we wait the extra time to make one loon (one is already waiting usually) but it's still very profitable in masters.
If someone has the TH out even with 300-300 in storages I will usually just take the TH whether its trapped or not. Might as well save the real army for a base that has loot with TH in and get an extra bonus.
If they trap or tesla an exposed TH, I zap them every time.
It's a legitimate strategy.Quote:

There are a lot of low-levels with low level troops that stay online for hours and hours looking for snipes. Many of them fall for these traps and the defender gets a win.
By doing that it can:
Weaken your enemy if they want to go for 50% for the second star (it can mean a lot to high trophy players)
Low levels will fail and give you trophies
It's fun to see people suffer
By the way it's only a game, y u heff to be annoyed?
Exactly.Quote:
