The Mask- An Intricate Anti-Hog TH9 Farming Design Created to Protect Gold

[MakoClash]

Shows how ignorant you are. Poor hoggers are everywhere. Especially in clan wars. Many gemmers hear how strong hogs are and keep attacking in hopes of getting good. Free trophies for me I suppose.

Nice job contradicting yourself. First you say the 2x giant bomb trap stopped working a while ago and now you are saying every antihog base should have multiple empty slots for double giant bombs.

Try not sounding so arrogant next time.

Wrong again, which is the usual for you based on the posts I've seen. I said there must be DECOY empty spots, 6-8 of them, simply to draw wasted scout hogs. Absolutely necessary as a lure.

Try to keep up champ, would hate to have to double post just so you get the message each time, lol.

We all need to stop with the "no 2x giant bombs means it's not a anti-hog base" routine. That ♥♥♥♥ stopped working a while ago, especially thanks to Ringus getting so popular. Now in C3 and above, any decent hogger sees the empty space where the double bombs are and simply triggers them with a single hog before the main attack. Period, end of story.

So the whole "YOU MUST HAVE TWO DOUBLE BOMBS!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!" routine is played out, over, done, kaput.

While not being a truly 100% anti-hog base due to the ring being a bit soft, this base is good enough in terms of the ring to still allow the name to stand. Call it 75%.

Any good anti-hog base will have multiple locations where double Giant Bombs might be located. On top of that, any well designed anti-hog base will make it hard for an attacker to drop a single hog with enough accuracy to go where the double Giant Bombs might be before hitting an actual defense where it will be killed before having a chance to move on to another defense. Dropping a single hog just won't do any good in this regard. Nice thought though.....

I have to disagree with the TH 8 anti hog base Sphinx made. It doesn't work and will get crushed by even crappy hoggers. The CC is lureable (the only prayer for th 8), there is no double giant bomb, and the hogs WILL path to the core in the th 8 version there is no doubt.

In terms of defending against other troops, it isn't bad.

Anti hog bases are impossible for TH8....but yeah against other armies it should be good

[Brownsugar10]

Just having hogs go around a ring does not make it anti-hog. Having the Wizard Towers where they are make it even easier to defeat the ring if the attacker desires to do so. No double Giant Bombs allows the attacker to be more patient with Heal spells because there is less worry that the hogs with less than full health will be killed all at once. Because of these points, this base is not anti-hog. That's not to say it is a bad base. But you shouldn't call it what it is not. As a person that has raided a lot with hogs, I would not hesitate to attack this base with hogs if the resources available were sufficient.

Ok I appreciate your feedback despite disagreeing. Thanks for your input

In all honesty, this is one of the best TH9 farming bases I've seen.

Thanks mate

I agree with you. I too hog a lot and it's not too hard to get rid of double giant bombs

Well, they're not impossible. I've created a few good anti hog bases that reduce them hog attacks to only one star. But this base would work better against farming armies like giant/healer barch, bam etc.

[Brownsugar10]

Just because the decent hoggers can beat it doesn't mean the poor ones can. It's all about defending against the not very good hoggers.

Also you can make multiple double giant bomb places or protect them with a hidden tesla to waste hogs.

I'll work on finding space for twin giant bombs although its not necessary itd still be a nice addition

[Brownsugar10]

I do like the masked hog ring, at first glance I would not pick it for a hog ring. But there is a circlar path where poor hoggers will go on the merry go round. Also allows all Wizard Towers in a critical defensive location.

If you get some proper hog attacks please update that defense log.

I'm curious about this one!

Will do

Hello ...

I'm intrigue by your design.

Do you have any defensive log against 'air unit army' especially balloonions?

Thank you.
