[Project] Let's build a TH9 base for the new loot system

[cakework]

Ergh, thoughts?

Here is the tweaked base. Readjusted traps and outer defenses....

Oh jesus...

The ring WORKS which makes these losses frustrating. Three (or so) hogs hit the core with a heal spell and destroy it.

What I gathered from your re-work are anti hog traps and an extended radius on the ring to deter hogs from the center.

Anything I missed?

EDIT: I'm trying out your variation WITH the corners extended as well.

Precisely...

And if the hogs didnt nab the xbow, I would have had lost MAYBE 1 storage lol.

Well after you added me to GC, I see our bases are slightly different. We are in the same trophy range 1700. I wish you could share some replays, have you been watching mine? The worst defense I've had in my last 5 was the balloonians and they only got 69% they followed the ring. If I had two xbows available and pointing up they'd been toast I think. I hope others are testing the base setup I have.

I am now using a hybrid of mine and cakes base. You can see it on GC.

Only problem is that is the ring is extended, will it even be in range of the core defenses?

I think your AD is too close to your WT. Look closely after the hogs destroyed the first AD. It looked like 1 hog was headed straight for that xbow but he got his spell down too late to save it. Also I say close the gaps between the storages and the heroes/de drills so the hogs can't go right down the center, I am pretty sure they will have to go around unless I am mistaken. On two sides of my base if they go around, they'll set off double bombs and become bacon. And the only reason they might even go towards the core is if the ring is broken by lightning spells, which has happened once.

Put it this way, I've been attacked 38 times in the last 4 days since I've been testing your base (half may have been TH snipes) and modifying it as needed. Only TWO attackers got over 50%. Once was massive hogs with 100% and once was balloonians at 69%. Adjustments for both attacks have been made and I'm ready for another.

I am now using a hybrid of mine and cakes base. You can see it on GC.

I see it now, I think that was a smart idea pushing out the corners. Not sure where your teslas are but I thought it was wise to place them between the AD and archer towers to further expand the ring.

Put your xbows down and you can still cover the ring fine.

Just held off a max TH9 attack with two spells. Uploading now.

Giants, but still serious nonetheless.

I put them back in the corners. If those corners are the "danger" spot when it comes to the risk of hogs entering the core, its worth it to have a tesla drawing them even further away from the core.

Thats just a theory, but we'll see how it goes.

But then Baloonions have it easy. Trying it though.

Check out my teslas and trap placement and builders/barracks. The teslas are far from the core and draw in giants who get spring trapped frequently. The huts and barracks are crammed in the center to take up space and delay troops from reaching the core while the xbows and WT tear them to shreds. Try putting one xbow up and one down, I haven't been able to test any xbow up against balloonions since one of mine is upgrading.
