NEED a war base- 3 starred by dragons constantly when i am using an antidragon base- roundhouse

can you post your modified trophy layout? did you win with it?

[dgromz]

Hi guys,

How are you all doing? Just thought I'd share this with my fellow TH8'ers

My current base: (Need to change it to a suitable trophy/war base, suggestions would be welcomed!)

My Profile:

Reached the champion league this season within 8 days from 1400 trophies.

My Local Ranking:

Plan on staying in champ league for a while, but its very hard to farm gold as TH sniping is easy but finding such bases is very hard and time consuming and I can't even think of breaking into TH10 bases not until I have max level troops for TH8, even then it will be very hard.
Again any suggestions regarding base and attacking strategy would be appreciated.(I'm not very good with barching).

Hey haven't posted pics of my base in a few weeks so here is a base update.

No townhall 8 can stop level 3 dragons from an experienced dragon raider. Best to be thankful that drags are so OP at th8 that most have no clue how to use them.
Same with level 4 hogs, just hope for weak attackers.
Of course, level 8 walls help to deter an attack before it starts, best defense is level 8 walls, level 6 wiz, level 6 mortar and level 10 cannon. They are visual cues that farmers will look for easier prey and increase your chance of th snipes.

Be a good farmer at th8 and enjoy probably the best town hall level in the game. While loot is easy for th7 and th8 has massive upgrades, we get the best army to play with, wizard 5 / dragon 3 / hogs 4 and we can gowipe for fun.

I wish I would have stayed th7 and enjoyed the easy loot but I was a detriment to my clan in war, always overmatched as maxed th7 stronger than rushed th8 but those extra buildings are hard to get 3 on as th7. Once the world figured out that teslas and AirDefenses are the key to war it was over as th7 dragon raiding th8's.

Sure I would want AQ and witches but I intend to fully enjoy th8 at least through this year.

In wars with weak raiders, I usually am 12-18 out of 20-25 and will usually defend drags or giwiz raids till a th9 with 4 spells and drag3 takes the easy cleanup. Against asian dragon loving clans, even dragon 2 can take th8 unless AD 6 and Teslas 5+.

Hello guys, I'm so glad to be part of my fellow TH8-ers. I'm currently at 1200 trophies trying to farm some gold to max out my archer towers and teslas.

Hi to all my fellow TH8ers

New to th8, been here around 3 weeks. using molt's farming base, so far so good until those level 4 hogs raid me lol. I'm following that TH8 priority upgrade guide, is it really beneficial to prioritize upgrade the DE drill to level 3?

Currently have:

Minions - Dragons L3, Archers and Barbs at L5, Giants 2 days left before L5.
Defense - 3 Mortars at L6 (1 at L5), 1 Wiz at L6 (rest at L4), 2 Tesla's at L3 (1 about to be L2 in hours). Archers and Cannons at L8.
Hero - BK at L5.

I've read that tesla's are great at TH8, should I prioritize them after my Splash or do all Teslas first? Have 4 workers btw.

TYVM!

I would prefer to upgrade splashs first then any other point defenses before teslas, because teslas need longer time to upgrade and more resources compared to the other point defenses

actually there is a TH9 thread already but it seems that the TH9'ers dont post much there, even the threadstarter himself doesnt post there much.

Could you post the link for it?

I think it's the best idea to upgrade splashes first as well but I've also been using the "always be tesla-ing" idea from another th8 thread. Basically the teslas take so long to upgrade that I try to have one tesla upgrading at all times. I just started a level 6 tesla this morning but I still have one tesla at level 4 and the third is level 5. I really need to bite the bullet soon and start getting my purple wiz towers soon though.

Dragons are supposed to be powerful and even I, with maxed defenses, still gets 3 starred by them (but rarely. But that time that i got 3 starred was when i fiddled with my traps so it all boils down to base design
