The Roundhouse: A Unique TH 8 Anti-Hog base with a Practically Unlurable Clan Castle!

[thinkerbellex3]

I'm a maxed th8 with about 30 skull walls at the core and the rest purple. Was flattened in war today in less than 1 1/2 minutes. They used 17 giants (lvl 6), 15 wizards (lvl 5), 2 healers and the rest archers. 2 rage, 2 healing. BK 10 & AQ 5 came in for cleanup after most of the damage was done. It was heartbreaking. It was the first time using this base and I had such high hopes. I'll probably give it one more shot - hopefully we will get matched up a little better next time and it'll have better results.

I just used it

I held an 813 (lvl 3 dragons lvl 5 loons) and a balloonian (lvl 5 loons lvl 3 minions) to 0 stars

Got completely flattened by 30 lvl 6 loons 3 lvl 3 dragons 1 lvl 4 dragon 10 lvl 4 minions and lvl 10 king/queen. 4 lvl 6 heal spells


Had 1 minion 2 wizards and rest archers in CC

All of my defenses are at maxed th7 lvl. I'll see how it does once I start upgrading defense.

This base is heaven for Giants - Healers.

This base is heaven for Giants - Healers.

I disagree. traps will take care of most giants.



War #2 trying this base out. 2 starred 80% vs mass lvl 3 dragons.

Ok so I really like the theory behind this base but I think the core needs some work so I'm going to move the four mortars out (b/c at th8 what are they really going to do =p to slow for hogs and to weak for heroes) and move three archer towers and the three teslas in.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

I was just getting smashed by barchers with version 4 as my regular base, and it didn't hold up well against dragons in war, so I had to stop testing it. Version 2 I think is near perfection as far as war bases go. Don't fix what ain't broke and all that.

I did not completely abandon the base. I ended up keeping the core with a slight farming modification, using the outer bits of version 2 and then closing it all off. It has been doing really well for me as my regular base. I'm sure it violates several design principles but the thing works.

I was just attacked in a war again. This time he came with 19 lvl 6 giants, 130 lvl 7 archers, 5 wizards in his CC and a lvl 6 AQ.

He got 75% but only 1 star.

Thank you for your wonderful base! I used your layout in last clan war but i was defeated easily by an TH8 enemy, he used: 5 hog lvl5 in CC, 9 dragon lvl3 and 4 hog lvl4 with 2 heal and 1 rage spell. First he release some dragon to destroy 1 side def, east or west, then release all the hogs go right in the middle and destroy 3 air defence, the dragons left do the rest. Because in the core, there are no giant bomb.

[Creed203]
