TH8, Wall Phase Farming Base (Elixir and DE Protection)

[cavanaghlegato]

Hey everyone!

In 2 days, 12 hours I will officially be in "wall mode" with my TH8. All gold defenses will be maxed (or on their way to max) leaving me the following....

BK10
Wallbreaker5
Giant5
Healer3
Pekka3
Lightning5
Hogs3,4
Minions3,4
Valk2

I wanted to design a base that protected the 3 elixir storage and the DE storage. Pekka3 will probably be the first real "push" just to get it out of the way. I would love some feedback on the attached design and well as a couple of questions I had...

1. Should I switch DE Storage and CC?
2. My BK always fights on D. Should he be near the TH or should I move him somewhere else?

DE and CC should be centralized. Try putting your TH outside the walls so that snipers will give you cheap shields. At TH8 this worked for me 80% of the time when I had less then 1M of each and about 33% of the time if I was holding 2M or more (which of course provides the max raid amount). Trophies don't matter, TH takes up valuable relastate and letting someone take the TH will give you a shield in exchange for just a few cups....can't beat that. Also don't skull those useless walls on the outside of your base first...do the middle where the good stuff is. My hero and my CC are there to protect my loot....so they are always next to that....hope that helps. Also those walls on the outside are truly useless consider a better base design. Good luck out there.

Lol. Your feedback is funny. I didn't figure I had to say the walls were simply there to demonstrate. The L shaped walls around the ATs mean the Giants have to walk around. Wall breakers have to run further to try and do meaningful things. So... not truly useless. Maybe not your favorite style, but certainly not useless.
