Hello everyone, I am a town hall eight who recently found myself in the same position as many of you --looking for a good base with four mortars. I decided I would make a farming base that could hold I fairly high trophy counts, and there Xenox was born.

The Xenox
CC range:
Traps, teslas, and walls
Just walls:

2. Defense Log
3. The basic funneling in the Xenox
To start, I decided that I would try to make a base that would going giants(and hogs too) into the air. My base has been giant attacked only once, and then it was a hybrid with hogs(as you saw earlier), so I can't say exactly how well it handles giants. Still, I have it set up so that for a troop that cares about walls to travel through the center of my base, it will go over the spring traps and step on bombs. Also, having the funneling in the center of the base makes it very hard to avoid without more than twenty wallbreakers. I do admit vs a 50 wallbreakers and 20 giant attack, they might not step on he spring traps and bombs. Also, by putting my defenses fairly close together, the giants and hogs often bunch up.
4. How the Xenox works:
Many bases encourage the attackers to go around the outside, and try to keep the attacker away from the center. I said to myself, "With a farming base that has storages spread all around, why do you want the opponent away from the center?" I realized you don't particularly, and attempted to design a base that encourages the opponents troops(especially tanks) to go into the middle. It sometimes surprises opponents that their troops go to the center, because they often don't seem to account for my teslas, which draw the attackers inwards. Then, once they reach the core, they are decimated. Also, attackers seem to try to get to the core without thinking to much about what is there, so generally they can get troops into the middle, and then let them get stuck.

CC isn't so easy to lure:

A good spread of troops:

...And they go together so they can push to the center:

Wizard tower + giant bomb = death to any hogs in range

Those hogs really do like giant bombs, and those giants reliably attacking walls to get to the middle.

NOTE:
This base is still being tested. Few attacks have been done with it. Testers of this base would be highly appreciated.
NOTE 2:
The layout of giant bombs and teslas can be changed if you find your base being run over by hogs.
