Pingfao's Tesla Theme Park [Revamped] - A TH8 Design

[Pingfao]

I just got 99% using this base (the only reason he didn't 3 star was because he ran out of time).
It was a 9 dragons attack and i was upgrading 1 of my AD and only had 2 to defend with.

I won't say the base is weak.... but previously even TH9s with 3ADs was getting wiped by 9 dragon attacks so what chance do i have with 2 ADs?

To combat these air-raids, you want to tuck your AD's in, which will hinder your ground defenses. Rarely anyone farms with Dragons, so it's not worth sacrifice vital center placement positions for them. You win some, you lose some, and losing to some infrequent air-raids is better than the common ground farming armies.

Even now at TH9, with 3/4 AD's, I'm still getting steamrolled by Mass Dragons, once in awhile. It's ok though, because I make sure they lose more than they gain (currently farming for DE) with a much less expensive army.

I take it you've never tried using this layout, i used it for ages and only 1 person managed to get 60% and that was when i was above 2000 and upgrading mortars.

This was by far my favorite layout at TH8 and if i come across it when searching, I'm sure going to skip it ha ha...

Always glad to see your enthusiastic feedbacks scanners! Hope all is well with your TH9 progress.

I've been using this base for the last 3 or 4 weeks and it's easily been the best I've had so far. Most attacks are for town hall and the few serious attacks I get usually get around 60k gold. Bit more elixir but then it's more exposed and I'm not that fussed by it at the moment.

Defenses obviously impact how well it'll do and since I've almost maxed my defenses at TH8 (only 2 levels of Tesla and 3 of air defense to go) I suspect a lot skip it.

What I have noticed though is that about 95% of the serious attacks come from the bottom. I'm guessing this is because this is the easiest route to the gold. The decent players have managed to take out 2 gold storages (these are level 6 troops so expected to fare better).

I don't really mind this though as I've just readjusted some of the traps and moved one of the teslas to help protect that area a bit more.

Overall I think this design is great for a TH8, I'd recommend it to any of my clan mates.

Thanks Pingfao for a great design!!!

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Yes, I really encourage players, who chose to use this design, to adapt accordingly to the attacks against their base. Personal playstyle, current defenses/upgrades, etc. can all affect the effectiveness of the design.

How you liking it so far compared to your own design?

Haven't tested yet haha, just built it

Reason why I incorporated the anti-wb mechanism is,

I wanted a larger core for my
1) BK, CC // Lurable, so push in
2) Tesla // Highest single dps in game
3) th of course
4) DE // single storage, 2k DE

Need to protect all since I'm hitting th9 soon.

And if I were to simply just enclose them with box and simple staggered walls, it would be pretty weak.

Using the th8 farming one, I call myself a premature th8, my defense aren't great, but I haven't gotten 3 starred yet, and people attacking can't get more than 1 stash of resources, usually elixer, which I have too much of

I seem to get attacked from the bottom a lot. Like 95% of the time. I built this the day I hit 8 and rarely loose (except some th9s wreck me lol)
