The Engineer - A TH9 Farming base design (Dark Elixer Protector) official

[perkunas]

I've been using the original version of the base for over a month now, and this morning was only the 2nd time somebody has gotten my DE:

A TH10 hit me with combined 44 hero levels, 16 giants, 4 spells, and level 7 archers. He got like 73% of my base.

This base has worked really well for me. If a TH10 is going to hit you hard with both heroes and spells, there is basically no way a TH9 can withstand that force. My inner ring is lavas and my middle ring is legos, and it still wasn't enough.

Saw this design and decided to give it a try. I just reach TH10, so you can say I'm still a maxed TH9, except walls and heroes. This is the first major attack by a maxed TH10 army GoWiWiPe aiming for DE.

To be fair, I have max allowable attack-resources for gold, elixir and DE. Also, notice two of my Gold Mines on top are half-full, hence even more gold.

Enemy CC contains a lower level Golem.
My CC consists of 5x L6 barb and 25x L6 archer.

Everything about the GoWiWiPe attack with both heroes at L15 goes fine. Witches, wizards, 3x pekkas, both heroes, all go towards core.
Except two things:
1) Wall breakers break 1st and 2nd layer Lego walls. 3rd set was GB-trap and WT and did not harm the Lava walls. But he comes prepared with 2x jump spells.
2) Both Golems go towards right and bang-wall. Wizards were cleared by my point-defense at both sides.

Result:
Lost 1x gold, 1x elixir and DE storage.

After that, today got another attack by GiBarch. Lost 1x gold and 1x elixir storage. DE unharmed.

First attack above, just a TH9 weak attack. I have max loot available.

Another attack, from maxed TH10 and both high heroes (the low stuff are from his CC). Only max DE available, the rest not even half full, obviously he is targeting my DE.
Attack start from bottom right (near the halloween tomb). Giants break in first layer, but then half of them move sideways left into the premmie-AT due to I have defense upgrading there.
Archers all dead at first layer near where my AQ fainted. My BK was inactive.
The rest of Giants, barbs, heroes all went toward the single inferno.

Both inferno L1, single and multiple. 3x tesla triggered, 1 more at far left not. The single one saved the day, kill several giants, kill king and injuring the queen that he surrendered.
Overall, successful defend on above-average attacking army. If he has golem/pekka with better tanking, the results would be different.

Hi!
Thanks for the base!

It is working good for me.

Please see logs for your reference: http://imgur.com/a/V9Lrh
(I apologize, but pasting a picture here is a pain ... always 'exceed' the quota).

My base is also on the link above for your reference or you can visit us .... (I tweaked bomb placements and moved a few walls here/there).

Keep clashing!

Nobody even tries to attack me anymore in C3. I've got ~75 lavas done and max-TH9 defenses and it is all snipes & zaps.

Is one wall extra in this design? I have searched and searched but I am left with one extra wall.

Hey guys i'm surprised this thread is still going! good to see people are still using this base

Is one wall extra in this design? I have searched and searched but I am left with one extra wall.

Yup. Check just above my townhall

Yup. Check just above my townhall

It is funny - I also placed the extra wall beside my TH. Thanks for taking the effort to put up so many pictures to make it easy to use this layout. I really dislike it when people just leave a picture of their base

It has worked well for me so far but I will update here after using it for a few weeks.
