The Eclipse - An innovative TH9 base designed for Clan Wars

[Brownsugar10]

Hmm... This is what I believe is called a Transition base. My town hall finishes upgrading in 3 days. Will try this out once I get all buildings built!

Yes, a transition or a transformer base. Good Luck and an early welcome to the world of Town Hall 9's

I would recommend more alternative locations to dual giant bombs, so people can choose. If people use your base in clan wars, everyone's gonna know where the giant bombs are if they lurk forums. Even if they don't like forums, they'd probably look at your base several times before attacking. In raid queue, it's ok because the attacker got only 30 seconds to study and if he presses next he will never see you again.

Hmm....I seem to recall someone else making this suggestion earlier in the thread.

Brownsugar10,

The Giant Bomb opinions are better now and will leave people guessing. Something else to consider is to have the Spring Traps in line with where the hogs will go. How you have them now, they will flip Giants but Hogs will generally miss them. Having them inline with where the Hogs would go would also get Giants. I would do this even where you have openings to the defenses.

Also, having those barracks in the defense ring is going to be a problem. For example, look at the bottom right of the base where you have that Mortar. The next defense to the left in the outer ring, the Canon, is farther away than the Wizard Tower in the core. Hogs will jump to the core there.

The Spring Traps can be moved to wherever you like as the giant bombs are the main concern when guarding against hogs. Feel free to place them wherever.
Also when/if hogs hit that mortar they will proceed to go towards the hidden tesla or the archer tower. It is sort of hard to see the tesla there but it is to the bottom left of the mortar.

Didn't even see the Hidden Tesla......scratch that observation

As far as the spring traps go, the current design makes it difficult to do what I am suggesting. You can do it in a few places but not with all the traps. One of the keys to an anti-Hog design is having the spring traps in the path of the Hogs. Hogs going around the ring will miss most of your spring traps. You are relying on the dual Giant Bombs to do the Hogs in. That works great with lvl 4 and below Hogs, but lvl 5 Hogs can survive the dual Giants Bombs.

Personally, I like to keep the Hidden Teslas behind walls since that tends to keep them in the battle longer when non-Hog armies are used. In a Trophy/Clan War base, I like them in the core protect the Town Hall. In a farming base having them in the outer defense ring works well.

The spring traps may be moved many places, but I like them where they are because many hog attackers will avoid the base when they see the hog ring and the spots for double giant bombs, but giant-based armies will still attack. The double bombs next to the wizard towers are for hogs, and the springs are for giants or anything else that wonders upon the spring trap. Still, they can be moved to your preference

Also, I usually like having teslas in my core as they are very powerful but i needed them to complete the hog ring and also they bring an element of surprise because people won't expect them to be on the outsides. Id rather have them better protected but they also do well where they currently are

This is great! Just upgraded to 9 and the first two attackers both failed against it!

Real nice base.

I'm not at all experienced at higher level but like to learn so am giving my opinion.

On the giant bombs I see a problem in that they are shallow behind one wall so someone hogging could easily test out all the different areas releasing one hog each place to see which place holds the bombs before releasing a full attack.

Would scooting the teslas closer to the open areas divert the hogs to the teslas preventing them from easily testing those open areas where the bombs are (and aren't)?

Again nice base. For some reason it reminds me just a little bit (the wall shape) of a max TH 8 base I ran into and loved the look of (I skipped attacking it LOL).

Yeah I agree teslas can be moved many places to protect those giant bombs a little more and if you skipped it then that means this base gets the job done lol appreciate the feedback.

And btw your opinion sounds very high level... bravo
