[Project] Let’s build a trap base

I'm going to try to do this with my TH lvl 7 base. I just finished farming

Something I saw in this thread too (not implemented in the post above), does placing 3 giant bombs together work against hogs? I doubt it will. I think hogs are too fast for it they skip one or two depending on the direction they come from. I also noticed using my layout, attackers will almost always drop a heal spell where the giant bombs are being triggered. maxed heal spell is enough to make hogs gain enough hp to not get killed if the bombs are not set off at the same time. So three giant bombs grouped together have a very low percentage of being effective at killing hogs instantly.

Giant bombs became a bit quicker after the recent update.
This needs to be tested, I don't want to throw off the idea until I see it's not working. For Giants triple bomb work good, so it's dual purpose really.

They can be placed in diagonal way.
Picture hogs coming from AD to the upper left tesla, disregard the second one.

I don't have my third bomb now, but it seems like hogs will be in range. Wiki says its 3.5 tiles, 4 if maxed.

Several questions:


Would there be enough incentive to attack from the NW corner?



Will an army of Gobs or Barbs coming from the top walk into the "funnel" to break open the wall?

Here's the actual core I'm planning to use; just based on that, will you attack from the NW corner?

Yeah but you will see when testing them hogs will not get hurt by the first bomb or at least the majority won't. I had hogs skipping the two side by side bombs if the defense they are destroying have small hp, they would destroy the defense and move to the next before the bomb is set off. I would recommend using either air defense or cannons at the sides of those bombs, try to avoid archer towers teslas or wizard towers unless necessary.

will be interesting to see results in actual raids though

I actually did it! Tell me if this is any good.Im still working on my walls.

I tweaked it a little; what do you think?



Features of Ver. 2.0:

-now, the giants will clump together to destroy the cannon, then get sprung by the spring traps
-more resources in corner, ensuring that gobs will stay there instead of walking into the Giant funnel
-triple bomb cluster works in two ways: if the gobs take the funnel, they will be blown up by them, and if they use a WB to break open the corner, they will be blown up when trying to open the core to get to the gold storage
-wiz tower overlooks "gob zone", but has too short of a range to be distracted by giants
-more point defenses in Giant funnel, more splash in NW corner

Gigs were deployed near AD. They decided to break the wall there. Last two were deployed after AD was destroyed by archers, they went straight for the right mortar using the funnel, but not like it was intended,

None of the traps were triggered as it was intended by design. The attack went off script.

It really depends on priorities.

If losing is unacceptable, then NW corner looks best. TH is a main target, gold is a bonus.
If I were farming, i'd choose SE for guaranteed gold. TH is a bonus.

I don't feel confident about this. Most of your traps will probably be set off by random barbarian.
