I'm a th8 in masters and I always look at the loot before I take the snipe. Had a th9 last night that I dropped a minion on and up popped 2 tesla and zap. I went to the other side of the base and took all his 250k each and 1000de. The other 2 tesla popped up at th at 52%. I left the th standing for him. :D
Don't tesla me bro.
Im in masters and I do the same thing. Actually if the snipe is completely open i basically never try and loot the main base, just usually isn't worth the army cost vs their loot and then the rebuild time. But if they have trapped their TH and I can near wipe from the other side I always do so just to try and teach them a lesson.
Now there is a way to ♥♥♥♥ me off!!!
For the record and to the guys that read this. I have an army ready to get all your loot in almost every round. If you don't want the free shield I was about to give you, I will take every last bit of loot you had.
If you want that TH outside, do so with no Tesla or Bombs trapping it. You will regret it.
I know this method nets some people trophies. Never seemed to work for me. I tried it in crystal and masters and always wound up still losing the th or worse.
Making my way through crystal i seemed to stumble upon these trapped THs quite often but they seemed to become more and more rare as I progressed through masters.
I have fallen victim to it several times so I can tell you it does work. In an over eagerness to keep pushing trophies I went out in search of THs with not much of an army.
Now I don't start searching till I have a full gowiwipe trained so in the event that a TH is trapped I can drop the golems and proceed with my full attack given it's worth expending all of my troops.
it works more often than it doesn't, more than you think it would. and for any times it doesnt stop a TH clip, the guy wastes more troops than he wanted to use to try the rest of your base. And quite often you will catch that one guy bringing just a few troops left who didnt fill his camps.
the replay shares are more than worth it. if you have a pretty good designed base backing it up. get the walls up!!! Some people try for the TH snipe and then also for the 50% as well. so do what you to avoid both....
Don't worry about all the forum blowhards saying how they rip bases with Trapped TH, and that they teach lessons. They were most likely ready to rip the base anyway and try to boast...
I trap my TH because it forces you to drop your troops or atleast a portion of them in the vicinity of the TH, which means that if they attack the base after picking up the TH, I know which way their troops are coming from and its easier to defend against a 2 star attempt or getting my Dark elixer.
It doesnt work all the time, but it works 9/10 times, which is high enough for me. I dont want you need be able to drop 3 archers take out my TH then decide to loot me, even if you only drop 10 archers a Hero and a few giants, usually thats enough to keep you off my loot.
The whole point is NOT to make it impossible to get the TH. If you go sniping with only a handful of troops thats a you problem not a me trapping my TH problem.
Ive ran a tesla trapped TH for weeks here and there (and will do so again) and only 1 or 2 attacks out of a hundred or so went for a full raid and didnt get very far. All of you saying that you crush the base anyways are very, very few and very, very far between. Except for those couple every attack spent half + their army just going for the TH.
