The Silhouette - A TH9 Farming cum Hybrid Base

[AkashG]

Hi Guys,

First of all let me introduce myself!

I am Akash (IGN is the same) am a TH9 (reached 2 weeks ago) and have maxed TH8 totally except walls and two levels of Teslas.

I’m in a L5 Clan: Requiem and am an Elder, I’ve been in the clan for over 5 months now.
(We are closed at the moment)

I have made a Farming Base for saving one resource (elixir or gold, not both) of choice and Dark Elixir.
See the image attached.



Advantages of this layout:

1. Centralized Clan castle and Heroes.
2. Totally non-lure-able CC troops and heroes.
3. Two centralized Air-defences keep the skies clear
4. All storages (inside second layer) are covered by (at least):
- 2 x-bows
- 2 Mortars
- Clan Castle
- Two point defences
- Heroes (except northern one)
5. Town hall is very inviting (clear of traps and defences)
6. Is totally symmetrical and also very beautifully designed.

Disadvantages:

I have not found any yet, will update soon. Please reply with comments if you have used the base and found a bad point.

Can be also easily converted into a southern teaser base :
(Suitable for multiplayer only).



Some clarifications/answers to selected comments:
(Will be updated regularly)

Farming cum Hybrid means a base which is a farming one but can be converted into a hybrid any time. E.g a Sofa cum Bed.

A comment read "3 stars by hogs". I have only got 50% -ed by hogs over 5 times as once the hogs spawn they go in all directions and don't stay in groups, hence unable to heal with 4 spells. Plus my heroes are at the centre too. Find an example attached in the "Previous Defences" section.
Nobody has ever three starred this base even with all dragons.

People miss funneling , I do too but it is totally unnecessary as I have been attacked by Giants very rarely and everyone knows how to counteract a funnel (deploy a single giant)

Trap placement is a valid point but as you can see I have no space for traps (and no need either as the traps work perfectly when people barch me.)

Please keep commenting.

Previous Defences:
(Will add more soon)

L5 Hogs + L6 Wizards + 5 L5 Healing Spells. lost no elixir.

Doesn't look too bad, but there are a few disadvantages. The gold storages are very easy to take out, even with barch. The elixir storages are a little bit better protected and could be fine. I would suggest swapping your Wizard towers at the bottom with the gold storages.

Thank you for your review Conor,
I think you missed the line saying that it only protects one resource (in my case elixir).
I will try testing your suggestion of switching wizard towers.

Please keep commenting people and if u found this page helpful please rate it.

Hi People,

Let me make some clarifications .

It means a base which can be easily be converted from farming to hybrid.

Hybrid bases are bases which protect loot and town hall together.

Umm that hybrid part isn't a souther teaser bud...better luck next time
