The Mantis, a TH7 Variation of " The Tempest"

[7SWORDMASTER7]

Nice Base! I got TH7 a few days ago. I started to use it, and traps work great! Currently I am in a war, and #7 from the other clan attacked me (Currently #17 out of 25 in my clan), and didn't even get a star (31%)! Loved seeing the Lv5 giants fly off from the traps. Thx

Finished war with 4/4 defenses! 1 of 3 bases that weren't starred! Awesome for someone who's #17 in clan! We still loss though, 54-51.

What am I missing here? Was setting this up today on my TH7... using the Farming B version...

The pics have no Teslas (I have 2), 6 spring traps (Max is 4) 3 Giant Bombs (max is 2) Air Bombs 4 (max is 2) etc... has the game changed since this was posted? Or am I having a blonde moment and just missing something obvious?

I started using this layout midway thru my TH7 and it works as advertised! I would like to thank Heizenbrg for this design. Now that I'm moving to TH8, I wonder if he has as good layout for a TH8...

This is the link to the "The Tempest" layout. Really useful: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...-Formations%29

I really wanted this base to work because I love the funneling concept and the base itself is attractive to me.

Sadly, it really doesn't. My experience is that players will barch this base attacking the 'cheeks' of the mantis with wall breakers. Two sets of wall breakers will leave the center exposed and then it's all over but the weeping.

The design flaw as I see it is that there's no alternative for the wall breakers to choose so it only takes two waves to open up the center.

Exact thing happened to me in the only raid Ive faced so far since trying this layout (have only been trying it for a few hours)

I am a moderate town hall seven, with everything maxed out except walls, barracks, and teslas, but this base looks great and I cant wait to give it a try!

Nice job man! I am going to use the farming A layout, when I get TH7 in 1 day

I'm looking forward to use it


Will level 6 walls be good enough until i get level 7 walls?

I used this base and i dont think i won one defense...

Love the trophy base design!!

I've been using trophy layout A for quite a while now, I chose A because of how the mortars can cover each other, and I have GREAT defense stats with it.

In war, heavy hogrider attacks have taken it down fairly easily (only twice), I think that is unavoidable with a th7, typically I don't even get attacked (50 vs 50 clan wars)

I see people complaining, but this base does VERY well against lvl4 troops, and I survive a lot of lvl5 attacks or only barely lost

THANKS for the layout OP
