Is my base any good... never win defenses

Hi guys, I just joined the forums because I was tired of being raided over and over while winning around 5-10% of them. I got tired of it and decided to remake my base AGAIN, so far I've lost one raid with it but I'd like to have some feedback on my base.

Attachment 10096

P.S. I have a few question I've been pondering about...

1. Is there and use of trophy hunting...? Why would I go for trophies if I could just farm...?

2. What's the point of farming... is it so you can build up a nice base then go in a higher league? What's the point of if I can just stay in a lower league and farm for days.

Many thanks in advance!

First of all your walls are a bit low lvl you may want to start updrading them
Second your motars should be upgraded as soon as possible and be in a triangle formation next your wiz towers should be near your storages to stop goblins

u might want to consider these bases

1. i guess the higher the trophies the better u are considered and the more loot u get.
2.farming is for getting a lot of money so ur base can get better
also ur defences are a little bit low, no offense but a th5 can easily beat ur base
also the wizard tower on the top and the mortar on the bottom are too exposed

One thing I notice is that you still have buttress walls (the ones that extend out) these no longer distract wall breakers. The new Wall breakers gor for the closest wall that has a building behind it. So if I were you I would move those extended walls around and block out intruders.

Also upgrade splash defenses and walls as soon as you can.

I do suggest you farm, but hey, its your choice. If you are going to start farming you are going to have completely redo your base. If you aren't I still suggest that you redo your base.

Here are some key factors of a good base (that you don't already have)

-Wizard towers and Mortars are the best defenses for swarms of tier 1 troops so protect your wiz towers with walls
-Position your wizard towers so each wizard tower can easily protect your storages
-Clan Castles should be more center so attackers cant lure your cc troops so easily

There are many more things that are key to having a good base, these are just a few

I think the focus should not only be on your layout, but the fact that your defensive units and walls require much upgrading.

You probably should have stayed at th6 a little longer to upgrade your defenses a bit more before upgrading to TH7, but as long as you don't go to th8 too soon, I think your defense will slowly get better as you upgrade your defenses and take the advice of ppl who posted above.

As a reference, I am also a TH7 like you are, my base looks like this right now. I still have a week or so of upgrading before I want to start my TH8 upgrade.

I feel like your base is a little scattered. Try to organize it a little bit. I think you'd want to protect some of your defenses because people can use giants to distract and drop a couple archers to destroy your face. You also might want to upgrade your archer tower, wizard towers, and air defense. Hope this helps!

To answer your questions about trophies... in a way, it doesn't matter. You do get a bonus, but the bonus isn't even that great to begin with. If you take out your town hall, that means you can more room to protect your resources. The good thing about leaving your town hall outside is that you can get a free 12 hour shield. Plus, if some people are trophy hunting, they'd probably just attack your town hall and surrender, leaving your resources harmless

Upgrade your defences ASAP do your walls if you have a builder free, while your upgrading the defences. Also check out clashofclansbuilder.com, they have some good base designs. I got mine there.

You're very premature for TH7. Just work on upgrades, and DO NOT upgrade to TH8 until you are close to maxed out. It's a good thing you've posted now. It is ok to be premature at TH7, but you would start to have major problems at TH8.
