[Guide] Designing a Vault

[OJM]

Here is my latest attempt at a vault. 4 storages, triangular splash, and dual AD (I always keep one upgrading). Proper t-junctions and nice CC radius. What do you think?

My previous vault was a 6x6 with three gold storages...worked well but I wanted to protect my DE more.

Looks like an "easy prey", really isn't one Works like a charm, I'm guessing The runaround circle on the outer layer is one of the hardest things for the units to beat. Sping traps in the funnels teach countless giants how to fly.

Yeah I hope so. Yet to have a serious attack on it but now I'm sitting here with 1.7 mill in 1200...waiting...

Twinvault™


-Won bout half the defences thanks to heavy trapping in the front.
-Attacking dlix brings a shield.
-Dlix, Gold and Elixir separated, so attacker has to prioritize which to attack. Aiming to more than one type fails.

I'm currently using Richard's Dice base and it's pretty good for protecting my base but I'm looking for a new base now since the game is getting stale. Do you think my gold would be well protected even though I have level 8 walls? You have level 9 walls and you must have a higher sense of security because of it.

Also, when you mention in your first point that you have won about half your defenses what do you mean by that? Are you losing any gold in those losses or does that just mean your town hall is being taken out?

Thanks.

Defence victories, as in my defence won. A raged queen is only thing that can get even to shot's range from gold and even then can get no more than two containers. Higher walls help, but if you got well upgraded defences, it's enough.

Most gold lost with that base was 80k. 5 x 6* lightnings on containers. Once queen got a container down.

The lightning on the storages is the only concerning part but I'm thinking the attacker must be a simpleton if he thinks he's profiting off lightning my storages. I'll get started on it today and see how it fares. Should be interesting.

Thanks.

This is a very nice guide and extremely informative and helpful for newer players and old alike. I feel like redesigning my base like this just to test it out, only I'm somewhat new to TH8 and not sure that my defenses can hold up their end of the deal.

Still, this is the most promising guide I've seen that doesn't say "This is a good base, build it just like this."

You give logic and reasoning behind what you did, and it allows for the individual creativity of each player to adapt it to his/her needs rather than simply copy-pasting the Tesla Theme Park for example (although it is ​a nice base).

TH8 will have the issue with 9ers walking over them and taking everything. That's course the same on any 8 base, so with a vault, you at least keep them lower ones away from your goodies (and attract only the big 9ers to attack so you're screwed either way ).

I'm also finding the "do dis" kind of base-guides not overly useful. If someone is going to copy the model 1:1, they don't care about the details, just the performance. DIY when you understood how something works

Vault bases are inferior to spread storages, its simple math.
You need to destroy half of defensive buildings to breach into centre and steal all the gold vs needing to 100% the base, because storages are triangulated.
8-12 wall breakers are shting on vault even with raged barchers.

In fact only thing that vault is good against is pure bam but no bam in his right mind would attack that.
Full air, go wipe, giants or any wallbreaker heavy comp would get to the core without any problems.

Its not really easy to 100% a proper th8 as th9, unless you have dark army or a 1 hour army+spells.
Vault however is easy to breach even as t8 vs t8.

How well did it work? I may want to try this same lay-out, although I'm not convinced because 1 AD, Archer Tower, Hidden Tesla are outside (and the BB-king, but that's not really bad.
