I hope this looks good on your end. I wish I could screen record with my Ipad. just not sure how to yet. Regardless, this TH9 took me out quick with what I consider th8 farming troops. Kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off.

Bring the outside building closer to the walls, so they will be harder to pick off

I cant find the link at the moment, but I got the phrase from a youtube video. It took me forever to figure out what the dude was sayin, but since looking for it, Ive seen it named a few names including but not limited to gowiwiho, modded(modified) hog, hybrid hog. Essentially it seems to me that its any variation of hog mixed with other troops, and typically used in clan wars to smash bases. Its much more strategic then say mass dragon. Can be and was devastating against this base of question. I have more to add, but this was specific and I thought needed a post of its own. So more to come with how this base faired in my most recent war.

Thanks, this makes sense.

I will post the results from the next war currwntly using this base as active,but i consider her a bad base against gowipe!so i dont expect to defend a gowipe attack.

I think u should find a place for the other giant bomb. They are too close to each other. Otherwise nice setup

Hey so I've been using this for a while and this is the only thing I've done to it. Mine isn't upgraded as much as the original by any stretch but it's my main base and since pulling in the bases people trying to farm it are struggling to get 1 star. (Touch wood). I finally put it as my war base in the last war and it's working ok. Got 3 starred by a load of dragons but only just. Prev attacker just got 1 star. Very happy thank you for sharing. Interested to see how your th9 will work out.

One question as I've been debating this. Are your skeleton traps set to ground or air?

Great job on designing a sweet th8 base. During th8, many bases can be three stared either with dragon&loons, dragon&hogs, gowipe or simply straight up hog and dragon attacks. If conducted correctly at least one of these strategies are sure to crack up any th8 base. However, this base was designed very nicely and it was symmetrical so my OCD matters r gone haha . Now, lets break this base down into parts:

Pros:
- Triangular Air Defences
- Square Mortars
- Triangular Wizard Towers
- Archer Towers and Cannons in a consistent pattern and both of them form a Pentagon


Cons:
- The Double Giant Bomb placements dont work and there is no other spots than those areas to contain double bombs, so it doesnt keep the attacker guessing. Say the hogs come from the bottom left cannon or the bottom right archer tower. Their next target would be the mortar and then what is going to happen is those teslas in the core will pop up, triggering a few hogs after targeting tht mortat to split and head to the defences beside the de storage and some to split and head to the tesla. When some of the hogs head to the tesla, only one giant bomb will be triggered, which doesnt destroy lvl 3 or 4 hogs if the heal spell is then placed. This is one of the two possible ways a bomb can be triggered. The other way is if the attacker decides to attack from either 3 oclock or 9 oclock. Once the hogs clear up the archer tower on the left or the cannon on the right, they will then head over to the wizard tower. When the hogs r attacking the wizard tower only one bomb will be triggered yet again. other than these two methods, hogs wont trigger a giant bomb and it is pretty useless against hog attacks.

-The centered Air defences make dragon and loon too easy to get the three star. say if the attacker wants to attack from the bottom, all he needs to do is drop one drag on each side near the gold mine and elixir pump to break the funnel. next he could simply spam all his drags on the spell factory and rage em up. next he could summon his lvl 6 balloons from his cc so that they go straight to the core. under a heal and another rage, the black balloons would simply wreck the air defences in the core and leave the dragons cleaning up the rest.

My suggestion:
- Move ur core teslas out and place em between the 6 oclock mark and the elixir storage to the bottom left. this will make luring more difficult as the cc would then be basically unlurable. then remove those walls and make ur more the most far left and far right bombs and replace them to where the teslas WERE. This would make them both vertical, causing them to both be triggered at once.

- Next thing i would do is move ur top two air defences and switch them with the top two mortars. this would make it more difficult for dragloon attackers.

Great job on the base and keep it up

If you would like to grow as a th8 base builder, i suggest u have a look at this video:

This is more or less exactly what i was going to say before I read the comments so i just want to make sure that you pay attention to this.
