TH8 new 4th mortar hybrid base, a 5267 original (war version/farming version also)

[Brayend]

gonna use this base, thanks

If I wanted to move the TH out for shields, what should I put inside?

Check out out my base I like your design. Any feedback would be appreciated!

clan: longhorn nation

I put the clan castle into the core so that it's unlureable and put barb king where the clan castle was, replace the empty space left open by the king with a builders hut, see the first page for an image of it

THANKS everyone for all the input and support, I have a TH9 layout ready also to show that I'll show later today in a new thread, I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if this base can be improved any further but I think it's just about as good as this layout will be if anyone spots any weaknesses, just share them so I can fix them

I said I'll put up newer war version later but I've already fixed the hog/drag exploitation problem, there is a new smaller problem though, dragons are hard to defend against because unlike what most people think, putting all your air defenses in the core just means that if drags go to the core they can get ALL your air defenses faster, I tried it out and surely as I guessed spread out air defenses (like my base originally has) defends against dragons quite a bit better, but as a sacrifice, they become exploitable by drags and hogs, so what I've done is put ALL air traps in the core on the side with focussed air defenses (where the dragons will be coming from) and placed skeleton traps to lure drags away from air defenses and near storages in the core to by the air defenses time to mop up the dragons while they destroy the high HP storages, the barb king and clan castle are on opposite side now too so hopefully if drags do go to the core they'll lock on to the BK and move past the AD after destroying the storages, I havent seen any replays of it yet of course but based on drag ♥♥♥♥♥♥ levels, I think it might just work, also I made an attemp at making it more anti hog while I was at it so I suppose it's a lot more rounded now as a war base (damn this is one long sentence right??) lol here's the layout:

Thank you for the layout Jason, I'm trying it out in our current war and Mass dragon + Rage only got 1 star on me. I'll give it some more testing time. But overall liking it very much and will probably keep it for the rest of my TH8 journey.

I also got 1 starred by a TH9 with lv2 drags and lava hounds he used 4 spells but ended at 47% and CC troops barely got him to 51% LOL

Are your skeleton traps set to air or ground or 1 of each?
I'll be trying this out this weekend for war

for war I set both to air because the only thing used in war is dragons, and if it's not dragons it'll most probably be a fail raid because of the lack of skilled raiders (I blame dragons for that too) for standard base however I set both to ground because TH8s dont usually get attacked by air troops, and if you do it'll probably be loons, so decent AD/wiz towers will defend the base well enough
BTW I found someone with the base by the name of: THE BORAKS, in HadesPlayground, nice surprise for me, dropped king and gave free cups lol, revenge me all my gold storages are outside near the TH it's free for anyone who gets to it first

Trying this for war base. Am a bit worried that I'll still get 3 starred by drags, but lets see. Setting skeletons to air.

3 starred by l3 drags.

In this base's defense, am just a week into TH8, so my 3rd AD is only at lvl 2. Guess I need to try something else for war.
