The Tempest: A TH8 Base Design (2 Formations)

[Orz]

Attacked from upper right. Funneling worked well for the giants, but the minions and wall breakers breeched the core. 4 of 7 storages flattened. Only one starred because attacker ignored TH.

Unfortunately, if the attack is using a proper army and attacks from a side, all storages from that side will be vunerable. There isn't much you can do against maxed troops.

Just wan to say to Tempest for this great TH8 design.
Been following this thread and using the base for a season now. (Both old and new version).
and i love how the bombs are strategically placed in the core.

That had help me alot in killing 14 hogs in 1 raid and numerous wizzies and other tier 1 troops.

I would say the base have flaws only if enemies is over-powered with max troops and use spells tgt with it.
Or if they use extra WB to break into the core.

The point is the base is well designed and allow various modifications.

THUMBS UP MAN~

Thanks
Personally TH8 and below havent actually attacked my base properly.. (They got around. 20-25% I think using full out armies)

Wallbreakers are always a pain for any base using a core.. But what's good must have bad.

I was also surprised that the attacker did so well with barch. On the other hand the attacker seems to be part of a well established farming clan. That may have something to do with it. The top outer building where quickly removed. And then the CC was lured efficiently. Three waves of wall-breakers, which open up the inner components. And from there the archer wreaked havoc on the core... (but did not enter).

At that time I used the base from post #270.

1) No, no wall-breakers. Note to self: always take Wb with you.
2) I define core, as in the area with TH, WT and DE storage only...

After looking at the replays, it seems that not all the giants had reached the Tesla, a few were a bit late. So when the Tesla was destroyed, those destroying the Tesla moved further up the funnel... the slower once (which had not reached the Tesla yet) targeted the core. (Note, this applies also the #270 version). This is probably why they choose to target the core anyway.

At this moment i'm using the trophy version, which is now on the first page (v3.1) ;-)

Okay, let me know how it goes!
v3.1 is doing wonders for me at the moment lol. It's been taking care of those maxed troops fore quite well.

got attacked 3 times last night (all wins, although one was a single archer :P)
will post later

One quick update while still using an old design, but the base destroyed a guy who used 16 lvl 6 giants, 8 lvl 5 wall breakers, and 124 lvl 6 archers. Funny thing was that the funneling wasn't even used and I won without a problem. Will update to latest farming to help test on a current base very soon.

Looks great, but maybe switch the little bombs with spring traps near the cannons to kill giants or hogs

Hehe, Destroying giants seems to be daily entertainment every day I wake up :P

Thanks! There is a flaw with having spring traps near the exposed cannon instead of little bombs. Any smart attacker who sees an open funnel with use a single giant to try set any traps off. Being the smart defender, we put the spring traps along the path of the giants So the giants are assured to be grouped and boom! They get sent off into space. For this spaceship base... I call them the "Evacuation Pods" ^^

[Orz]

Added new replays. BTW I upload all replays on the first page... So if you are looking for replays there are countless replays on the first page. Here are 3 from a single night.


Note: Surprisingly, 2 brave TH8 finally attacked me! Lol. All 3 replays shown are in a single night.
1) TH8 hog with 3 heal spell attack - No CC troops or traps. If my CC troops and traps weren't used up in the previous attack, this guy's troops would've been smashed even harder.
2) TH8 Giant healer strategy with a rage spell - TH9's and their Lvl 6 giants struggle against this base... A TH8 with lvl 5 giants? Not even considered a fight :P
3) Nothing interesting.


Would like some more feedback/suggestions on what you guys think about v3.1!

Hey Orz...
just wanna say thank you for the great working Base...i have moved some things arround and the gold storage in the core.
Most attacks are ending in the funnel and they dont even touch the core! They have to use lightning-spells to get some gold from the core.
I have tested many TH8 Bases but this one really helps me to max out my Base! Unfortunately i "forgot" to max out my TH1-7 Bases; misleadingly in the past i had only focused on maxing out my TH and so i must make up leeway on the Base-Defending...this base isn´t only great looking ... it helps me a lot to max my base prior getting the next TH level!

So again a bigbig Thank You!

You are most welcome!
I assure you maxing out your TH will benefit you greatly, so keep it up!
Btw, I suggest you swap one of the more exposed storages (any storage) with the DE pump, that way the storages are more separated.

i am using this base and it work amazing even though my walls and defenses are from th7 or brand new with th8u

[Sphinx]

I think the base is better in trophy mode. Farming mode always lets those th9's steal all the gold.

[Frozinite]

Ouch, I just got 3-starred (practically 3-starred) by a TH7 using this base (pre-beta version). He intelligently used wallbreakers to nullify the funneling. He took home 300k/300k/800. Will post a replay later when I get home.

13 Giants lvl 4
6 wallbreakers lvl 4
20 archers lvl 1
2 healers lvl 2
2 dragons lvl 2
10 wizards lvl 4
15 goblins lvl 4

2 rage, 1 heal

That hurts the ego so much. Especially with the lvl 1 archers.
