The Tempest: A TH8 Base Design (2 Formations)

[aironex]

So, which one is ultimately better for a th8 farmer that focuses on gold protection? The tempest or the shuriken?

Tempest for Farming
Shuriken for Cups

Those are the best for each one.

Is there a way that i could protect elixir storages more??
cuz it can easily be stolen, each th8 base i find got the elixir storages outside and i need elixir

Got three starred. Level 113. 22 giants, 72 archers, 44 barbs, 12 wallbreakers, and both heros at level 12. 3 heal spells and 1 lightning. Everything was max level. On the bright side won two more defenses but lost one for 50%. These happened around 1900 cups.

[Orz]

you aren't, my dark elexir got owned too

By what type of types of troops?

I'm going to see what this base is going for...

In Farming mode. now I'm offering 270K/300K/1800DE for TH8 at the moment. (30K+ DE;-))

I'm going to ride my shields to the max, as my laboratory will become available 2 days for my lvl 4minion.

Obviously I hope a sniper hits my TH, but the only ones who consistently do major damage are TH9&TH10 with full armies and spells. Fortunately, TH10 can only take half ;-)

Sure let me know

I also just clicked on upgrade to th9. 10 days of full th8 defenses for testing.
Can anybody direct me how to post photos and videos from an Ipod touch here?
I play games and listen to music on it but don't know how to interact here with it.
I could have gone with Shuriken but wanted definitive proof (no upgrades during defenses) how well this base works for posting here.
I'll be riding some pretty good numbers for resources since I'll be saving for that moment I hit th9.

You can take screenshots and upload to Imgur.com which you can then paste to the forums.

Tempest in Masters ...

Yeah Im trying to reach masters soon, but not much play time is hard

Been using this base for over a month now, and nobody has 3 starred me yet. I am around 1500 trophees constantly and I pushed towards 2600 with this base. People tend to attack me but never get enough loot for them to profit.

Only times I lose are against TH10's wallbreakers from bottomright where the spell factory is and mass deployment archers/barbs/wizards. They tent to go to the funnel, but sometimes they don't. But nevertheless, this is a huge profitable base for you to use!

Loving this base absolutely!

Thanks for the comment, glad you like it
The funnels aren't always 100% but they are reliable enough to work most times from experience.

There should be ample spots for elixir storages, just chuck the BK outside the walls and put a storage instead.
And
Alternate between the storages.

High level heroes are always gonna bust your base up, no matter how maxed it is unfortunately... Deploying AQ near the end of raid is whats destroying everything with its super range.

Hi Orz,

I just wanted to say 'thanks!' for this great design. I'm TH8 and, if any of my clan mates ask me, I will be sure to give you credit for this very thoughtful, optimized layout.

Besides, I'm slightly OCD, so I love the symmetry ;-)

I've got a TH9 Shuriken, check it out in my sig. Just scroll down a bit

[SuperGramps]

but I've never been seriously attacked since I changed to this design.
TH8 moving to TH9. All TH snipes. I could not be happier.
