♥♥♥♥! A TH8 Farming Layout

[Pranav]

dont try this base out until are you're new defs are at least TH7 lvl or close (lvl 8 archer towers, lvl 6 or 7 walls, lvl 4 or 5 AD, lvl 4 wiz tower). changing ur base as soon as you get a new TH is extremely stupid IMO cuz ur relying on lvl 4 archer towers as much as ur relying on lvl 8 archer towers, and there is a difference. it also may give u a feeling that it is a bad base, when it really could be good, just ur relying on lvl 4 archer towers instead of lvl 8 (other defs play a part, just an example)

as for the actual base, I don't think its too good. giant bombs and seeking air mines aren't exactly the best thing for a new TH8 to use when trying to save up for gold. 8 wall breakers, few giants and gobs and ur gold and DE is gone

B for me. Pretty good, but not awesometacular.

I like this base. Karn, when you reach TH8 and build this base, hope to see some defense logs, or maybe post some defense replays to see it's effectiveness. Not too bad, has all the things I like about a base - air defenses and mortars in the middle, centralized clan castle, good funneling etc.

Can't wait to see it being put into action!

Built it in VEM, but not saved because of my win streak with tesseract I'll give the base a C due to the multiple X-junctions, sort of exposed DE, it's not symmetric, and the air trap placements. Also i'm missing a wall somehow......
Hope these pics help



Traps only

[DaAwesomePwner]

Those air traps are really bad... maybe put them in the entrances of the cannons/archer towers, so it still has the same function, and it is spread out?

Also, the bottom side of the base is not protected where the DE is is not protected at all. Some wall breakers and goblins will get all the DE you have - only thing partially protecting it is the mortars.

Besides that hiccup, it looks ok. Nothing outstanding, but I like the idea of the traps and whatnot.

Lol wat? The cost of giant bombs and seeking air mines (placing them and re-arming them) is minimal. If you're concerned about that gold cost you aren't playing correctly.

Alright, thanks for the constructive feedback, here's a revision trying to protect DE better and remove some of those x-junction issues. Better?

not everybody can get on an play for 2+ hours a day. a lot of people corner their giant bombs or don't rearm them cuz of the cost even though theyre pretty active. and that's just a minor thing ur base really doesn't look too good

The Dark elixir looks very easy to get

Alright, updated the OP, here is my latest revision with better protection of the dark elixir
