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

[Jason5267]

There's a pic of the hybrid for standard defense, everything from the 2 small double bombs that archers funnel into when targeting the storages to the new skeleton traps placed to pull troops outside the base and giant bombs to trigger when troops bunch up after taking out the teslas has been fine tuned based on my experience with troop AI and 2 defense replays which helped a bit, not a single trap wasted, symmetrical, centralized DE and relatively centralized CC, still lureable though, loot evenly spread out in separate compartments guarded by wizard towers, mortar coverage across the entire base, here is the farming version... with completely centralized CC... and a war version with 2 war defenses, sorry that pic are so unorganized, I'm a forum noob but I often design my own bases and thought this one is really worth sharing, I have a few other good designs from the past and intend to make many more TH8 and TH9 layouts

Other than the two top mortars being close together, an attacker could take out both with 2 lightening spells, it looks good, may use this in a war tomorrow.

Based on a recent defense replay I made a small change in the layout, would like to say though that my DE has been lit up a few times as well as my AD at the top 3 light spells, but did not destroy 2 mortars, but I spotted a weakness when I was raided earlier today, defense targetting troops go straight to the core after cleaning out the top side pockets because the next closest defense is the mortar, so I removed a wall to funnel troops to the air defense below to keep the core and TH safe, because the previous raid was a 40% defense loss with 1 star here is defense log and newest version (the first defense with the new layout was the attack from the chines clan guy before the 3 star revenge raid from when I was in master league lol... those pekkas at least helped me see where troops would flow through base)

[Jason5267]

the arrows indicate how giants or defense targeting troops will generally flow (besides hogs/loons I can't predict them) the skeleton trap also draws infantry into the giant bomb along with some of the giants, and usually leads the troops out the bottom corners of the base by the air defense pockets, on 2 occasions though someone deployed heros and cc troops to steal DE after the first side pocket was cleared, although they didn't get into the core, since the base is symmetrical you guys can copy it from the right hand side of the screenshot

Waaa, I realy like the war version...I wanna use it, but Im a new TH 8, which is ones of my AD still in low level. Will it work for me? cause my clan currently in a prep day's and I need a new TH 8 war base with 4th mortar's

Yeah most probably, not sure where you'd place the weaker AD but it should still do fine

All I can say is... Well done Jason5267. I think this war base has a lot of potential, and looks quite balanced IMO. I'm still attempting to look for ways to improve it right now, so if I find any avenue for improvement/enhancement, I'd let you know here.

You said you're going to create more bases of your own in the future? Already looking forward to them man, good job!

Implemented the design for my own base, will see how it goes for the next few days (:

[Jason5267]

That's great man I am also adjusting as I find any weak spots in it, I've already designed a TH9 layout too but it still needs some work

[staske]

Any updates on how this base does?

Very good design !!!

It is one of the better bases that I have seen in past couple of month. Really impressed. I am a TH9 and I have pretty good gold grab, I will press "next" for sure if I ever come across this base

Technically I could say

1. HT has the highest DPS for TH8, having it behind two layers of wall along the funnel can have huge impact in taking out Heroes/L6 Giants
2. The two compartments with AD's in them, they are capable of throwing 3 giants off and apart from that other point defences are very far, could be a problem against high health troops.

but what the hell. Your logs suggests that it has been doing pretty well. All the best man. Really wonderful design. Loved it !!!
