The Tempest: A TH8 Base Design (2 Formations)

[Skullone]

Is normal for this base to get steamrolled? I was taken out twice, 3 starred. The first was a mass dragon, can't help that, but the second was a giant archer barb with BK and AQ .

Depends on the level of the army attacking you. High level armies from TH9/10 will thrash you all day.

Hi Orz,
I am using your base for around 5 days(About 90% the same,I changed a few things) and it`s working fine for me-11 victories, 4 loses(only 1 100% to a 6lv heavy giant/archers army,220 army count) Since i always have 3 or 4 defences upgrading it`s awesome.Keep up the good work!
p.s I am in the 1400-1700 range

Very nice! Once you get all your defences done, defending will become a breeze

Wow, u read my thread? Cool. Maybe post it on here so I can have a look. I've been very curious about it lately.

Yes, I read the forums lol :P
I'll post it for you soon, just trying to sort out everything first.

I love this design. Is there a town hall 9 version?

Unfortunately at this current time there isn't a TH9 version yet. Of course there will be one soon hopefully!

I'm torn between this and the shuriken, I know as a fresh TH8 I should be using shuriken but this looks way better imo

Decisions, decisions, decisions ey?
You don't really have to use Shuriken as a fresh TH8, its just recommended and I've heard heaps of success from fresh TH8s who use The Tempest.
If you like, try both! It would be heaps more fun

Yeah like Skullone said, it depends on the army attacking you, as well as your current defence levels.
I'll try explain the concept:

Without maxed TH8 defences:
- You will get smashed by solid TH8 armies and weaker TH9/10 armies

With maxed TH8 defences
- You will defence against solid TH8 armies and weaker TH9/10 armies
- Stronger TH9/10 armies are more likely to win still



A new base will be released soon!
Tesseract: A TH8 Anti-Hog Base Design (2 Formations)

[Orz]

Just a new formation (hardcore trophy) and it offers little resource protection and is designed purely for trophy hunting.
The original trophy hunting formation is still just as good. Just wanted to share:


Thoughts?

[Apostolosz]

While Orz is working on his new anti (bloody) hog base, Tesseract, some feedback for my past 3 days with Tempest.

As you can see I'm new on TH8 and still upgrading my new WT & TT while trying to upgrade all my walls to lvl7.



So far I've been attacked only from trophy hunters and I have to report only 2 serious attacks!

The first one was really a fan since I experienced what you guys described in previous posts. Flying giants! Below the story:

Head crasher Presents the film:

Tempest Airlines
A classic Giants Healers attack:

The Giants following the one of the available air lines (our airport has quality and offers great services to it's customers)



While the WT taking care for the proper customer temperature (second picture) some of the passengers are already in orbit.






They destroy AT and AD no surprises.. On their way to the second mass blasting.



BTW, have ever saw Giants sole (foot)? Another Giant whants to feel the experience (bottom right).



Without sarcasm I felt really sorry for this lonely guy.. All his friends experienced a Tempest flight but this poor guy died from these bloody AT and canon

The end

The second attack was an interesting experience. As you can see below the guy was really strong but he didn't 3 star me so I'm really happy. As I said I'm currently upgrading WT and TT




Thanks for your time!

Ahaha, this is gold! It was a great experience for the giants for sure. Who can resist such exquisite service? :P

As for the 2nd replay: Maxed Giants and hogs + 3 spells and couldn't even 3 star a fresh TH8? Lolol
Did he stuff up real bad or something?

I've gotten dominated ever since I've had this base since about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I've lost every attack (7-8) of them and won 1 (100 archers) Most attacks were level 5 giants, but some level 4. Fairies were used in many of the attacks, 3 spells of course and many wizards. The funneling in this design doesnt work the greatest either.

My TH8 defenses arnt maxed, but they arnt all week either. 2 level 10 cannons, the rest level 9. Level 4 wizard towers, and level 8 archer towers. My current tropies are 1666, and I've been in the 1600's for awhile. Frusturated.....

Giants healers wizards + spells is considered to be a solid army, and like orz said somewhere, without max defences any base is gonna he wreck by good armies. Your defences still need work especially wizard towers (2 levels) archer towers (2 levels) and the rest of your cannons and such.

Honestly this is the best thought out funneling ive seen in long time
Usually it's just the same old chuck a spring trap in front of an exposed cannon
Troops AI don't always work to plan

[chugger93]

Interesting...I wonder in the meantime if I should put the wizard towers from the core to the outside...and put my gold level 10 cannons in my core since they are stronger. Guess I can try a few things to see what happens. I think level 6 mortars would help too.

This sounds interesting!
Orz any reasons not to do it?

Either way, I'm keeping it this way, because I just got attacked and actually didn't get dominated. My canons stayed intact and drilled down troops. They are stronger than my wizard tower anyways. For now at least.
