[Project] Let's build a TH8 base that can push to masters

[Sphinx]

That's most definitely the case. I've tried pushing to higher trophy counts before using both a trophy base and a farming base. I didn't use the trophy base for long since people kept on getting my resources, and normally the farming base still gets demolished by higher THs and high level snipers that opt to get my resources even after getting a star. So I just tend to stay at the lower gold levels.

I still think we TH8 have the possibility of winning on the way to masters.

This is what I'm about to use in clan wars:

I think it has some minimal chance to win against some weak attacks, but I wouldn't count on defense wins, especially in higher crystal.

Do you think this would work up in C1?

Don't think any TH 8 will work- lvl. 6 troops in a combination with the AQ are just too powerful for any TH 8 IMO. You really need to hope for weak attacks- these premmie TH 9/10 players that don't know exactly what they do (do not lure out CC, heroes, etc.) or TH 8 farming armies.
The idea was to create an anti-hog design, it's inspired by the Ringus TH 9. But even though there is the hog ring, I haven't implemented the other important anti-hog feature- the double giant bombs, because of lack of walls (wanted a compact base with closed compartments) and the bombs being 3 only at TH 8. It's still in an early phase of testing (2 days since I started using it), and I've only been using the farming version of the base in gold 2/3 with all 3 teslas under upgrade.
If it means anything- I just got 3-star'd by 10 dragons lvl. 3, 1 dragon lvl. 2 in CC, BK lvl. 6 and 3 lightning spells for my western AD.

You should make a thread showcasing your base.

Will consider making one if the base appears successful.

I think i know. We build a base that has the storages on the OUTSIDE. This will lure TH9s and 10s to take the loot and leave.

That works for some farmers maybe up to mid-high Crystal but not very many people in Masters are straight farmers. When they see an easy TH 8 50% 1 star or more likely easy 3 star, they'll take the loot and then continue on to your base. Trophies are basically a resource to them the higher you go.

Here is a good base:



So far 3 defensive wins in crystal 3 aganst giant-healer-hog, mass wiz and valk and barch

It wont last up in master, I am sure of that
