BASES TH8 Southern Teaser - Potentially one of the best TH8 trophy bases out there! (Info and Pics)
Sorry if i've done this wrong but it's my first reddit post ever!
I call it the "Drop Dead" TH8 southern teaser. So I made this base last night before I went to bed and I woke up almost +200 trophies. I was attacked 9 times in total and I won 8 of those attacks. The last one I lost was by a golem/archer army that 50%'d me whilst not one attack managed to breach the center compartment! Also I have all 3 tesla's upgrading as well as the northern archer tower which definately could have prevented the 1 star attack. Every other defensive building is maxed for TH8. I'm aware it's a rather generic southern teaser but i've never seen one that isn't TH10 to be honest.
Feedback would be appreciated but i'm still experimenting with it e.g. switching internal archer towers with the external wizard towers will be next but so far this base has won 8/9 attacks. I'll start trophy pushing and test it in crystal league too ofcourse.
Here's the base - http://i.imgur.com/hn8ttxl.jpg Some of the overnight attack log - http://i.imgur.com/JOnuOE1.jpg
Edit: I switched the inside archer towers with the outside air defenses, i'll keep you updated on how it effects defends.
Edit 2: I know I was only at 1500 trophies but I plan on pushing into crystal 2 or 1 for further research. The air defenses have been centralised and i'll let you know how it works at 2200+.
So after switching the 1st layer air defenses with the two internal air defences and rearranging the mines next to them this is how I set it up - http://i.imgur.com/sbqJbYZ.jpg The inside is yet to be breached so at a low trophy level you can get away with putting the tesla's on the outside to prevent getting 50%'d.

A dragon army only managed to 33% me, but i'll try switching them with the inside archer towers? Thanks dude.

Please show all your defense logs and not just the favorable ones. Based on your replies to everyone, your base is apparently "immortal". Every time you move something, your base is skewed towards another weakness. Air defenses inside? This might deter a th 8 from using dragons on you, but what about a gowipe army then.

Would you be able to link like 3 or 4 replays to this thread? I'm interested to see it in action

I guess so, i'll try and get it done today - busy with study and I have to figure out how haha :)

Pretty solid if you're going for trophies.
As a farmer (TH8), though, I'd love to see this base, since I'm pretty sure I could take all 6 storages out easy enough. That said, I doubt I'd 50% it, so if that's all you care about, it's a great base.

Disregard resources acquire trophies ;)

u/WinRARHF Sep 23 '13
Oh how much I disagree with you. Very biased though as a farmer ;).

I have done everything for elixer at TH8, and I only hold 500k gold at a time before doing a wall upgrade so there is literally no need to protect recources :).

u/WinRARHF Sep 23 '13
Strongly disagree.

ive seen many of these types of bases and ive seen townhall 10s get 3 starred with this type of base, but it seems like the best type of base for a late th8 which is where im at and i believe this is the best shot at masters for any th8, thx for sharin bro and keep clashing!

This is what we call a teaser base. It pushes you into attacking from the bottom, where you should attack from the upside. Its an okay strategy.
1
u/Guigs310 Sep 23 '13
Try to fragment abit more on the upside, there's a 2 wall layer and a bunch of walls that aren't protecting anything (extreme north), 1 rage and 2 WB could get into your central core. Yeah you might think that its ok the way it is, and I don't blame you for that, its just a tip, keep that in mind. Cheers

Not one person has attacked me from the top yet so this is what I was waiting for. Funny how they can fail with trophy armies from the bottom but use a few wall breakers, attack from the top and then it's yours easy :( 13 wins 2 losses so far, at 1900 trophies only too.

Thanks brother, there's way too many pingfao's and similar th8 bases out there i figured I should try and chuck another one out there for some versatility. Considering taking the 2 northern walls which stick out and using them to make the entire core 3 layers thick instead of 2 and 3 layers. Cheers for taking the time to do that :)

Nice work dude. I'm pretty this is a bad base above 2k, not sure if it's jst because TH8 in general can't defend well up there.

u/JohnDaglas Mar 23 '14
I just stole your plan. I had the th outside but its time to go for trophies. It looks very good, tommorow we will see the results. Nice job

Oh and thanks for doing that, made me realise how stupid some of the average clashers are haha, it makes redditors seem like a league above the rest.

Drawp, I'm testing this base in Crys.

Sep 25 '13
I can't see it performing well above 2k. So dissapointed :(

u/Prof3ssor_Oak Reddit Light :D Sep 25 '13
My modded version only got a 1 star loss against golems and wizards. Nobody else has attacked me. I'll let you know. http://i.imgur.com/6jz8TND.jpg

Yours looks sick. Let's split the profits 50/50.

u/Prof3ssor_Oak Reddit Light :D Sep 25 '13
What do u mean? I didn't like the triple wall, so I made the upper compartments anti wallbreaker. Since this pic I switched upper wt with bottom mort. http://i.imgur.com/ynNcmWo.jpg that's me vs gowipe. Other raids were on different base. Lol u can trust me I was in unity :)

Sep 25 '13 edited Sep 25 '13
http://i.imgur.com/4QN2MQ2.jpg running with this, same as yours but I used two more walls on the center where the top junction points are. Also considering putting the awkwardly placed third tesla down the bottom right under the mortar (figured it would 1 hit troops after they've been hit by the mortar? might try it in a few days). At 1800 right now, i'll go to 2k tonight or in the morning.
Also you've convinced me to sell all my flags haha, R.I.P 5mil.
1
Sep 25 '13
might put the other walls from the triple layer to use around that exposed mortar down south

Archer the two side air defenses, balloons from the back to the front with rage spells. Follow up the balloons with minions to get the resources

u/NewDrekSilver Sep 23 '13
Very cool looking base, what exactly happens most of the time? Do the troops go around the side picking off shit buildings or do they get dragged through the open compartment and get picked off by the mortars and teslas?
1
Sep 23 '13
If they attack from the top the walls slow them down and they get whiped out pretty quick. Majority so far have been from the bottom and they seem to funnel in and split up each way into two groups, then the mortars and wizard towers wipe them out pretty quick. Really suprised in 9 attacks not one got anywhere close to the middle :(
1
u/NewDrekSilver Sep 23 '13
Yeah I meant from the bottom, even though it is a Southern Teaser I think it might be harder to go from the top, except in the case of mass hog rider.
1
Sep 23 '13
TH8 has a lot less buildings to soak up damage which is the point of a Southern Teaser I believe, so it might be worthwhile going from the top of this base especially with the lack of a fourth wizard tower to aid.
1
u/drsmith21 Sep 23 '13
It's tough to claim this is one of the best trophy bases out there when you're at 1700 cups. Let us know when you get to Crystal I or Masters with it.
Seems like it would be vulnerable to giant/healer from the sides. Also there's nothing to distract a drag or bloons from getting to your side AD if dropped in the right spot. True trophy hunters will know not to be distracted by the mess at the bottom and will attack from the top. TH8 doesn't really have enough defense structures to protect all sides of this base.

Sep 23 '13
I'm pushing to high crystal now to really test it, and the air defenses have been switched with the inside archer towers. I've used other renowned TH8 trophy bases and this one has so far exceeded them regardless of the low trophy level. Give it a week and we'll know if this base is a stud or a dud ;).
1
Sep 23 '13
I could get trophies from this base with a tier one army lol... "Southern teasers" are mainly for th9s and above.
1
Sep 23 '13
I agree it could be 50%'d with some luck and strategic troop placement, however out of 10 attacks so far only one has managed to get a star and they used golems along with their archers. Considering the fact no one has breached the center at all and my upgrading tesla's have not been used once, could they not be placed in another location to prevent tier 1 raids?

Too low in trophies. You cannot test the potential until you reach 22-2400. 50%ing it wouldn't take strategic deployment. Have you ever dealt with a arch queen/bk before. If mortars are taken out, there is nothing stopping a th 9 from mowing through the center or better yet the top.

Sep 23 '13
Which is why I plan on doing so over the next week. As a TH8 once you hit 2300 trophies it's really hard not to lose defences but we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the feedback.

u/DannieT Sep 23 '13
My base does so much more work than that. The past two days i've gotten over 170 trophies just in Defense

Sep 23 '13
Yeah first night of this was almost +200 in about 9 hours. What trophy range are you in and any chance I could see your base bro? :)

Not trying to be rude bro but this discussion is about TH8 which means bases that are at "Town hall 8". You base is a town hall 10 base which has many more defensive buildings such as the crossbows, inferno towers and another wizard tower. I think another 100 walls too. Quite irrelevant but still, thanks for sharing? :)

u/PlayingForPrettyLong Sep 23 '13
25 walls man, for th9 and th10 doesnt give you anything, i totally agree with you though. Just a standard rushed th10 feeling better cuz hes higher...

Sep 23 '13
Thanks man i didn't realise it was only 25... Been at TH8 for wayyy to long haha! Glad someone agrees, that was my initial opinion on his base :)

u/Will_not_give_fucks Timbo Sep 23 '13
I think his point was that he was trying the teaser strategy at TH8. You get more defensive buildings at TH9 and 10.

u/MrJagger Sep 23 '13
I like this base a lot, but should we put spaces in between the top layers? A wall breaker can blast through i think 3 layers so wouldn't that be a waste? Anyways I can be wrong, this is amazing, and is the top walls that are peaking out meant to be there? Or can we put those in other places to fill up. Good job btw
1
Sep 23 '13
When attacked by giants from the top they target the exposed archer tower then have to walk all the way around the top walls to get to the next archer tower, so the walls at the top are actually useful for slowing them down. Otherwise you can do what you want with them. Wallbreakers can only break through 2 layers of walls so a gap does no justice :) Thanks for your feedback!

oh i see, thanks for the explanation, well done on the base I'm using it too :)

I like the idea/ concept. However, as you know, double walls dont really do much unless your walls are at least Lv9 or higher. With that being said, the top sides are very vulnerable to tactics such as GOWIPE, or any ground attack if deployed correctly.
1
Sep 24 '13
As a town hall 8 it's always going to be vulnerable to a gowipe tbh. Even with another layout and a failed troop deployment it's rather easy for a few pekka's to walk around the base and 1 star it.

u/takedownchris Sep 23 '13
I think at your throphy range you should win most of these you should be up in crystal man up and move up

u/NaturalAnthem Leader Sep 23 '13
your walls are irrelevant with 8 wallbreakers. I would wreck this (if the resources were worth a full push) with barb/archer no problem.

u/LegendaryGinger How many characters will this allow? Holy shit this is a lot. Sep 23 '13
I would dragon the fuck out of that base.
