    Having trouble keeping loot? Make your th easier to snipe.

    Nothing pisses me off more when I'm townhall sniping than teslas popping up out of nowhere. If I have an entire army at my disposal I WILL steamroll your base and take everything you have. Take the free 12 hour shield without any trouble and keep your 250k.

    That is all.

    I have also noticed if you leave your town hall away from your base surrounded by decorations or builders hut it attracts lower level town hall snipers.

    yea its kind of a stupid trap imop defeats the purpose of putting your th outside you sacrifice your teslas one of the most important defenses. I also unleash a full attack on people who do this

    I agree either protect your TH or leave it out not, this ♥♥♥♥ of pretending it is unprotected but putting 4 tesla’s and all your traps achieves nothing.

    Not only does it reduce your defences to real attacks because you don’t have tesla’s or all your traps available, but it pisses the attacker off who then goes on a full attack.

    Best case scenario

    You are less protected for real attack and the person will use more troops getting your TH and leave. What does this achieve for you? Nothing apart from increasing your costs having to re arm traps

    Worst case scenario

    They will 3 star you instead. I was looking for an base in the weekend and came across a base with 300k gold and elixir and 1500 DE with an exposed TH. Although loot was good I wanted to save heroes and spells so thought would take the TH for 34k bonus and carry on looking for an easier base. I dropped 1 barbarian and up popped 4 tesla’s and off went a giant bomb, dropped an extra barb on each side and set off another two giant bombs a few small bombs and 2 spring traps. I considered just exiting since I had only used 3 barbs and didn’t really care about cups but then thought. Well actually now there are no giant bombs tesla’s and probably no spring traps in the base. Plus this guy has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off now I decided to drop everything and 3 stared him.

    What did he achieve and extra 4 hours on his shield at the cost of 300k elixir, 300k gold, 1500de, aprox 75k gold rearming traps, aprox 30k elixir on xbows.

    I may have left a tessla by my TH this morning, it was due to finish upgrading, we'll see what happens...

    But yeah, lightly guarded is my view these days... don't make it completely free to take with 2 archers, or even a complete noob will probably have a go at some other part of your base for additional loot. But not so heavily guarded that TH snipers pass on it, or that it weakens the rest of your base.

    In particular, at higher trophy ranges, TH snipers are pretty canny, trapped TH are generally pretty easy to guess, I've found it's best to have it only just outside your walls and make it lightly guarded by obvious, visible defenses, like cannon, archer tower, etc, then snipers know they need about 20 archers and they have it sorted. I currently get a good 50% TH snipes on my TH9 in Crystal, even when I'm offering 350k of each + 2.5k DE...

    Give it a few days, and you'll start getting slammed by 30 hogs from th10 or even 9, I always have it outside, and since the uopdate I'm losing so much gold your head would spin, game is in ruins

    As a farmer who puts their TH outside their base, my goal (as is everyone else's) is to get the 12 hour shield. By putting teslas by your TH, it's kind of counter-productive, unless you're just trying to make the opponent spend more troops than they have to.
