[Screenshot] Base Designs TH8

[Pingfao]

What you guys think of my new hybrid(?) base.

Got any 2000+ logs? Looks solid. I like what you did with the perimeter walls to avoid junctions.

Thanks ping! I've only been attacked 3 times so far. Its better than getting 3 starred eveytime for sure
Im not too worried about resources since loot at this cup level usually is decent for me.

That's a decent 2000+ log for a TH8 IMO. Against TH9 trophy hunters, it's quite tough to get offensive victories. 1-Star losses should be considered accomplishments.

A bit about your design, what is the purpose of the southern indentions? I think connecting the walls where the black lines are could provide a bit more protection for your 2nd layer.

Thanks for pointing that out. I probably was thinking it could funnel trops for my mortar, but it seems it might be doing more harm than good looking back at my replays. Here i patched it up and linked the cannon and archer on the bottom right.

Regarding your base, those collectors really gave you tons of exp haha.
Is your clan actively donating ? If so I would suggest you to centralise the CC abit more, as 25 CC troops can really turn the tide in some defense.
Storage segmented well, but splash towers a little too spread out for my taste, which leads to over reliance of the single splash tower ina single area.
The double layer wall at the bottom is a nice trick against wall breakers as they will wall further to hit the single wall, which will then be taken down by the tesla, and its great that you bait attackers to attack from there using your th.
But yeah, thats alot of walls wasted just for that little trick.
Those walls can be use to segment your sides a little more, as those are your weak points, the double walls at the top as well.

Do you see that single piece of wall inbetween your wiz twr, gold storage, de storage and elixir storage ?
Upgrade that single piece of wall, as once that wall is down, 3 more compartment is exposed, which is deadly.

Try to upgrade your walls though, pink walls bases are easy targets.




thanks for your feedback, when i 1st started playing i left the long upgrades going for days while not playing...hense nearly all maxed mines lol
ive used them 2 blue wall pieces to stop the wall breaking and opening up 3 more areas, and blue wall upgrades is next on my list now!
Also my clan donates loads, most 1000 per week minimum so ive swapped a few bits around and cc is in centre now(where gold storage was)
altho.... im thinking of just copying your base layout(and maybe tweaking a few bits.... just to make it different)
what you rekon?

welcome.
Hm yeah, its okay, not everybody has the time to farm, and the earlier you max your mines, the greater the returns in the long term.
*Reminds me of the gordon growth model in finance haha*
Yeah, centralise CC is usually better.
Sure you can. its tested and proven to work well already haha.
But having high level walls(atleast Lv7) and high level splash(lv6) will make my base shine even more.
its up to you, but its working really well for me and many other guys.
Cheers.

Been rolling with this for 6 lvls or so now, works great - the Tesla traps are my favourite bit about this base.

HEY YOU!! have you been sneaking a peek at my base!!!!?!? j/k. I am currently working on my next design that definitely has some of these features so this definitely intrigues me. Nice work! ;p

Initally i look at it and said "eww" and then saw the trophy count and was like BALLIN!! I'm a sucker for creative yet effective bases. Looks like you hit 2 birds with one stone! - looking forward to seeing more replays.

Finally caught up with the last 10 pages/3days of stuff. Been kind of quiet with responses so sorry for those that sent me PM's. I believe i got back to you all now. As far as the next chapter. That air Def, like many of you close to maxxin TH8, set me back a little in time and resources so i went back from hybrid to farming. As far as my current setup - i'm keepin it on the DL until i get some decent replays.

For those that have me on GC: I basically took the structure of my hybrid and the offset-partiioning of my variation of stdeng's base and see if i can come up with a chevron-like setup with smaller/similar partitioning, priortized storages, staggered X-junctions and trap work while still keeping a centralized CC, Tesla, and splash defense. I'm pulling what hair i have left on my head out because every idea that fixes an issue leaves 2-3 walls short of what i'm trying to do. I'm planning on raising my trophys to 1700-1800 and see if i can't get more TH9 users to give me some trouble. I aint gonna lie. The more i adjust it the better i feel about it. Only time will tell.

Made some changes... Thoughts? Also what is a good farming range for TH8? I feel like im hitting next all day.

I knew they were meant for funneling! With the pathings you had, I think it is more efficient to patch those gaps up. If you are still hanging out in 2000's, keep us/me updated with your logs and modifications please. My clan is having a trophy event soon, and I'm looking around for ideas on how to improve my hybrid base. I have to be #1!

I peek at your pretty village all the time. You always have something interesting going on.

That and because I only have 3 GC friends.
