[Project] Let’s build a trap base

[rhymquimghyf]

Cup range-crystal 3
Results-almost every time at least 1 star
The problem is that once I have pretty much maxed defense, i dont attract the noobs any more. And that is really what is allowing these bases to keep TH8s afloat in crystal. Just been attack with my conventional base i made this afternoon. 16 hogs, lvl4 drag, some giants, some wbs and some arcs. Got about 30%. Dont get me wrong, ive learnt a lot from designing these bases, but its not gonna work as well as a near maxed TH8. The noobs r scared of u at that point, at least in my experience.

Interesting. Do you sit with trophy hunting base and with 200/200/x? (can't find you ingame)
If you are, you'll be attacked by the lvl6 farmers mostly. I'd love too see your battle log once you fill it with some attacks.
If you don't, you won't be attacked for days. At least that is how my experience went.

And when I was sitting in C3 with conventional farming base, it was all TH snipe.


As I was approaching Crystal 1 this afternoon, I was greeted with two 3-star losses in a row. The first one was very strange, Giants just refused to use the runway and went through the wall. King defused all the spring traps. By the time Giants reached the 3xBomb, I got no defenses left.
I changed things a little so I hopefully won't have any of this in the future.

Second one was heavy Giant/Hog at the wrong spot. Giants went to the 3xBomb and died, but lvl5 hogs wiped the base anyway.

Hi guys, just thought I would post my base as I think it makes pretty good use of traps.
(Its an ever-so-slightly adapted version of one of the vaults on the first post of OJM's thread)

Thanks

P.S Sorry if it isn't exactly what you guys are looking for!

Did that spring trap in the middle working at all times? I thought Giants can walk diagonal.

Yep, Giant Bombs in the core might save you an otherwise lost DE.
By the time enemy reaches the core all the troops are deployed and most of them grouped up.
And the sneaky AT funnels are sneaky indeed.
Shouldn't WBs released in that area go for the outer intersection between AT and Elixir? If they are, maybe you should move one of the traps to that spot?

WB released directly north of the funnel will target the junction between AT and CC, a WB stepped on the spring trap earlier today. A little to the left they target the elixir pocket from outside, a little to the right and they target the north pocket. The base is designed with narrow corridors so the WB won't go directly to the center, they will get distracted by all the side compartments first. Its takes about 4 sets of WB to reach the core from any direction.


I dropped shields a couple of times just to test this.

A raged dragon got to my DE but got incinerated in like 2 seconds. I moved the teslas back into the pockets where I temporarily parked builders huts cause they need to zap mass archers circling the base. also, to prevent giants from banging on the core walls. I also bumped out the WT compartments to make a true wall cushion by the core, some lone archers got a free shot at the DE from inside the WT pocket. I want them to shoot down the wall and walk on in for a xmas surprise.

Got attacked from the wrong side again, lost.

Love that 1 minute "♥♥♥ just happened?!" stare in the end.

ouch. ive now made a new hybrid base for myself cos im running out of resources. Is it just me or does elixir run out really quickly when cup pushing now?

I haven't pushed since the "spells for elixir" patch so I don't know, but people say it is.

Using exactly the same army as before, and had more elix stored up, and I ran out within 4 days. But anyway. How is it going for u? Is the concept working, or r u getting beat up

I haven't had much success at 2300 and 2400.

Now I'm sitting at 2200 and gaining trophies from defense again.



(that 100% loss happened at night, with all the traps disarmed by the previous guy)

I might scrap this base and try to make a farming variant from scratch, but I have no time for it now.
