Sometimes to get something you need you have to lose something you want

Firstly,
Gold is more of a priority, so it is protected quite well. As far as elixir, you can move out the BK in the core and add a elixir storage there. The elixir from the sides cant be shot by archers (the wall structure pushes it out enough), and between the mortar and wizard tower protecting it, it would take a lot of troops, just for ONE storage.

Secondly,
I really don't appreciate comments such as "It sucks", as i have put a lot of time and effort into making this thread and keeping it updated, while trying to get everything to work. If you have other constructive feedback, let me know. But if all you can do is say that my base sucks and call it rubbish... please don't look at it then.
I just hope you can at least respect the time I have spent on this.




On a brighter side, I have updated the bases to address some issues brought up by a few of you guys regarding the funneling. I will also add a version history soon as requested by a clanmate.

Fantastic work,

I am curious to see your defense log?

Thanks
Well since you asked for it, I am not going to hide my defence log. I'm all about honesty!

Okay ill let you know I just recently dropped to Gold 1, but while I was at 2400 trophies, these are the most recent attacks. The reason I cant show more 'practical' defence logs is because every attack at crystal is either Hogs, Balloonians or lvl 6 giants.

Here they are:

Going from top to bottom:

1) 19 maxed giants, 13 wizards and 4 spells... self-explanatory.
2) 24 hogs + 2 spells (lured out BK and CC successfully)... the hogs ran into my core's double giant bombs and were wiped out. Success!
3) 32 maxed hogs + wizards/barbs (for luring cc and BK) + high LEVEL BK and AQ + 3 maxed heal spells.... I'm sorry, but there is no base at TH8 that can defend against this.


Going from top to bottom again:

1) 18 maxed giants + healer + AQ/BK + lightning spell wiped out some of my defences, before deploying maxed hogs with 3 heal spells.... very happy he did not get 3 stars. Success!
2) Typical maxed giant healer strategy with wizards and a maxed heal spell... Fell right into my funnels are were wiped out. A Win in high CRYSTAL LEAGUE!
3) A typical maxed balloon and minion raid. Lured CC and lightninged them. Before executing the attack. Could not 3 star me. Sucess!



Now that I am away from 2400+ trophies, I will be able to show some defence replays that are revelavant to most normal TH8s!

Stay tuned...



Update:

Added a compilation of all my previous designs (from the beginning!)

[Vish]

This base has worked perfectly and by perfectly i mean survived everything but mass hogs and dragons with rage spells. Is it fine if i make a few modifications of my own to it?

well.. you did't know then... a good farmers in TH8 will have too much elixir. I was also using them to tank my gold and DE storage. I prefer loosing 300k elixir than loosing 100k gold.

TH8 just need elixir once every 5-7 days to do lab upgrade.

[Gunnerz]

Tbh there isnt much you could do about those attacks, the kinda troops that attacked you it would be extremely hard to defend.

Can i copy your plan for a while and see how it goes?

[Vish]

I made small modification to the base. Would this work at a 1300ish trophy level? Because at my level i get a bunch of 1 storage rushes. Pls don't give me any other tips on my actual base. Ik that I need to upgrade walls and stuff.

[Pete82]

I am also trying this base out with a few modifications. Great work with the design, I'll let you know if anything works/fails in a big way.
