[Guide] Designing a Vault

[OJM]

Hey OJM, I had a question, about a spiral vault base. I created one recently(Unfinished), but I liked the idea of having an "Open vault" but i was wondering what you think about it. The left side has a lot of less traps because I think there is less incentive to hit the left side.

-I switched the south gold storage with the wiz tower next to it and the DE with the previously swapped gold storage. Incentivizing(sp?) people to attack from the north east/East

I don't know if this base would actually work, but do you think a TH8/9 Spiral Vault base could work somehow?

I think for a spiral vault you need to keep all kinds of units equally fed so they don't get the idea of digging deeper. So defenses and resource structures need to be close enough to each others so giants and goblins follow the path. Tricky thing to achieve, I think, but could work. Th9's extra walls and defenses might be necessary, but trying it out can be fun and a learning experience for sure.

Yeah, that vault with the x core on page 5 was okay...but I think it duke be improved. I'll get back to you on that hopefully though.

If you wanted to use it, just move the walls on the perimeter outwards or inwards depending on what is upgrading or finished. Gl!

What do you mean by fed? Do you mean like baited around the base via using collectors for gobs?

Yep, collectors for goblins and defenses for giants.

Out of curiosity, is there a thread dedicated to vault designs?

I hope so

you mean a thread that shows designs? or like a guide?

Well, we're on a guide as we speak

I meant a base design thread specifically for vaults, so we have somewhere to post vaults without being swarmed by cloistered proponents

i dont think there is any, you could probably post it in the general thread for th8 and th9 designs, or you could make a new thread, that should be really helpful for the guys making vaults

good luck mate

Six wall breakers, with Giants leading the way, and an attacker is into your core. Pretty sure the WB's will just go straight ahead all the way, because there are no side-walls / side-pockets to distract them. By all means give it a go, but if I saw this and had a Giants + WB army, I'd attack on the assumption that it's quite easy to get my Giants to go for defenses in the outer 2 layers, then put enough WB in behind them to get straight into the middle.

The trick with any kind of "maze" base, is to make sure a few WB don't easily unpick it.

once broken into core one rage can take all gold storages
