The Lernaean Hydra- TH8 Farming Base- Part 1 of Monster Rampage; CoC edition

[LordArkansas23]

Good day everyone. I joined the forums a month or 2 and I've been scanning and reviewing bases here. Currently I am a mid TH8 having decent upgrades on both defense and offense. And in every MMORTS I play base building is my most favorite thing to do. I have worked on a few base designs on TH7, which I posted a while ago. And used a few base designs from our fellow Chiefs. (Thank you Avernicus)

I would like to present you my Base Series; Monster Rampage

Starting with the Lernaean Hydra. The Heads of Death!


Now to start dissecting this Multi-headed beast

THE HEAD!
The head consist of 2 varying formations.

This head presents a nice pathing and placement for giants, a little treat for goblins, and devastating explosion for Barch and other mortals who tend to shoot over to its neck

The othere variation of the head is a little more vulnerable to looting attacks but is unreachable by ranged weapon wielding mortals other than the Queen, the Teslas (with one giant bomb on the other side) offers a nice path for Giants to wander away from the weak spot of the beast.

Overall the Head is just meant to get destroyed as the real potential of the Hydra will be unleashed when all of his heads are out.

THE NECK AND THE STOMACH~!
The sweet spot with triangular splash defense, a well covered AD, properly placed traps, and a trapped King will kill whoever dares to enter the mouth of the beast.


THE FULLY DISSECTED HYDRA!
Walls and Trap Placement


Ups:

- Symmetrical base
- Overall very good trap placement. Prevents lone giants from springing them prematurely.
- Giant bombs well protected within base. Deadly for barch comps.
- Good air def coverage.
- Triangulated splash defenses

Downs:

- Storages rather close together.
- Vault core is a prime target for most attackers.(FIXED)

Replays and Logs will be posted when I get big attacks other than TH snipes

Someone wants to be like pingfao, plus a little more effort towards the thread and actual defense logs would make this look better. Personally this base looks like a easy win. Just my opinion.

Storages are too bunched up, are you asking or begging to get your loot taken?

I'm not trying to be like him. I've done this in all game forums I'm in. Will do.

And yah I think it's pretty easy to destroy.

I'm working on that. And no

This seems BAM-able and batch-able with level 5 and 6 troops. I haven't tried, but it surely doesn't seem impossible since the storages are fairly easy to get to.

Ok. I'll work on that thanks

His style of presenting is more similar to Avernicus's bases than Pingfao's. If you want a Pingfao wannabe go look at Toby111's base.

Good labyrinth base!

[Chengus]

Definitely closer to Avernicus' style of writing [immediately thought of Hades dining table]. Looks decent, but I think it might need a bit more work. If someone was using BAM then your storages would be extremely easy to get to, especially considering how easily the red balloons are tripped. I do like the archer traps.

Also one last note, the base looks really weak for some reason, and I cant quite put my finger on it. All I can say is, if this popped up while I was farming with decent loot, I'd at least look at it for another good 10 seconds, which is bad.

Keep it up.
