TH8 Farming Base - Flying Giants

This design is based on the previous series of Flying Giants bases. Like the previous bases in this series it has some vulnerability to resource lost but it will come at a high cost as all resource collectors and storage are well protected. The mortars and air defense are in a standard triangle pattern. The clan castle is put in the center with the dark elixir storage to provide maximum protection for your dark elixir.

Attacks leading with giants will go down quickly as they will go for the quick open kill of defensive buildings in the corners. The giants surviving the spring trap will be punished with a giant bomb and a tesla in addition to the other defensive buildings in the surroundings.

TH8 - Anti-hog/dragon War Base

I present to you the anti-hog/dragon war base design.   This is a variation of a base that I found on the internet that I believe have improved on.  The most common attack on a TH8 base are Hog Riders and Dragon attacks.  This base is designed to defend against both.  

Notice how the bombs are clustered together.  One small bomb on its own doesn't do a lot of damage especially when the attacking army has a healer in the raiding party but when you cluster bombs together they are usually able to kill the attackers even through a healers healing powers.  The damage accumulates so fast the healer doesn't have a chance to heal the damage that was done. 

Air Defenses are located behind the second wall making the tougher for your attackers to get at.  Therefore your attacker either has to spend more on ground troops to get to Air Defense (AD) or attack you with very high level air attackers that can soak up the damage.  The AD is placed in a triangular pattern so that if one AD is being attached the other can reach the attacking troop.

If you have questions or comments please leave them in comments section or hit me up in clan chat.

TH8 War Base - Schimmy

I wanted to create a TH8 War Base with the following elements:

• Inner triangulation of mortars and air defense
• Centralized town hall and clan castle
• Outer layer of giant funneling with traps
• A ring of archer towers, teslas, and wizard towers to help prevent air attacks

Many of the attacks against town hall 8 and up are air attacks, either balloons or dragons. By creating an inner ring of air defense it is difficult to disable the air defense without a great troop investment forcing your attacker to go all air or all ground. 

If the attacker goes all air there will be little resistance until the troops reach the second ring of defense. The likelihood that their troops will survive as all of your air defense will work together to thwart your attackers.

If the attacker goes ground giants will start flying and PEKKA will be greeted with teslas minimizing their abilities to get very far.

TH8 Farming Base - Flying Balance

TH8 Farming Base - Balance

The idea of this farming base design is balanced defense and balanced resources layout.  It is compartmentalized to make it difficult to get far into the base without have to sacrifice a lot of troops. 

Again the BK and Clan Castle are central to the design and in the middle of all of the resource storage tanks.   

TH8 Farming Base - Typhoon

Much like the "TH8 Farming Base-Schimmy" this base is designed to funnel Giants around the core of the base and make them fly.  Even if your would be attacker uses Wall Breakers on your outside wall the Giants will still be force around in a circle.  The Clan Castle is pretty much dead center in the middle of the base.  This is important because it is your most valuable defensive structure in a farming base.  Always make sure to request troops for it before you log off no matter what base design you decide you to use.

Make sure to rotate in and out of the center your most valuable resources that you are trying to accumulate for that next upgrade.

TH8 Farming Base - Schimmy

This base is an all around good design that has my favorite element, making giants fly. Starting in the center you will see that your most important defense, your Clan Castle, is well protected. I always keep archers in there as they can kill almost anything that your attacker can throw at you. the next thing to look for is the mortars. In this base the mortars are evenly spaced and cover almost the entire base.

Surrounding the mortars are all of your resource storage. This combined with an outer layer of really good trapping and troop funneling and your attack will have to pay dearly for any resources taken from you.
