La Tortuga Beta

(click image to view fullscreen)

Centerpoint

Features

• Funnels out Giants, Hogs, Balloons
• Very unlurable Clan Castle
• Anti-Jump Spell, cannot double jump walls inside core
• Powerful core surrounded by high HP buildings. High number of powerful point defenses (Teslas, Xbows, Archer Towers) in core allows to excellent coverage against attacks involving the Barbarian King and Archer Queen.
• High DE protection
• Well-placed double Giant Bomb placements for Anti-Hog
• Hero placements pull troops away from core

Cons:

• Splash defenses too exposed, but Teslas, Archer Towers, and Xbows inside core easier demolishes lower HP threats while surrounded by high HP buildings.
• Air Defenses too exposed, but Balloons are funneled away from entering core

- Note: Air Defenses may be substituted with Archer Towers for better protection against Air attacks, but will weaken the base against Ground attacks. Recommended that you have Archer Towers in core if you're farming in Crystal 3 or below. Air Defenses in core if you're farming in Crystal 2 or higher.



This base is now in testing phase. Will love it if you guys can help test it out and post logs here!

The base looks very weird which may confuse a lot of attackers, good job! Just one thing... many crazy farmers are using lavalloonions these days and I'd recommend centralizing your ADs more.
I've seen th10s fall to Lavalloonions because their ADs were way too close to get to.
Good luck

Yea, Lavaloonion would be a weakness to this farming base and the Archer Towers in core can be substituted with the Air Defenses for that. You'll have to pick your poison, stronger core to defend against the most common attacks in Gold or Crystal (usual place for TH 9 farmers) or better defense against LavaLoonion (perhaps if you're farming in high Crystal 1-2 or Masters). Unless you're a maxed TH 9, you're going to have a difficult time defending against a full LavaLoonion attack regardless.

Been using this base for nearly 24 hours and get sniped a lot. I'm currently farming in G1 and keep my gold and elixer storages full. There was an attempted attack once by a th9 with lvl 5 barch and the 50% failed. My AQ pulled both heroes into bottom pocket and very quickly killed them with help from my 15 clan castle minions and tesla which were activated.

Defense end screen:





Another attack by a TH9 with low level troops. Really bad attack but got to core:







The intimidation factor is big with this base in my opinion. This is good because the point of a farming base is to get the free shield to protect resources. Here is what an attacker will see when texting (this attacker ended up sniping my TH):

I'll gladly test Im a max def th 9 lvl 26 AQ 25 BK 150 lavas rest leggos IF you can incorporate this air sweeper lol I hate it when they add new defenses

[lhadden]

Could you post an update that incorporates the airsweeper

You can simply substitute that Builder Hut for it:



I've seen some people squeeze it in to their core, but I don't think it's a good idea to place the Air Sweeper in this base's core for several reasons:

- Base is already solid against Air attacks.
- As a farming base, you're very rarely going to defend against Balloonion or LavaLoon. Especially since this base has a high snipe rate factor.
- Placing the Air Sweeper in your core means the core will be even more weaker to Ground attacks because like the Air Defenses, the Air Sweeper also becomes a liability against Ground attacks.
