I have been looking for a new war base. How does it do against giants?

I haven't been attacked by giants/healers yet, but I assume they would all just do a lap on the track between the inner and outer walls killing the defense, and if they survived long enough to kill all the defenses on the outside, it would take them forever to bust through to the middle rings, and at that point the healers have likely long since been picked off by the AD.

Why does it work so well?

It gives up one star without much trouble, but getting a 2-3 on it is a real chore. It hinges on having L6 AD to avoid getting ruined by dragons and/or balloons.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one sat.

He chose the path of perpetual contentment.

In 2poor's latest war I was attacked, and soundly defeated by an army I've never seen before. The dude managed to three star my Maxed TH9 base with an army that outside of a single golem and a couple minions used no DE.

It was very humbling, see for yourself and learn from my pain.

Quoting this cause I just applied. Pubbies are bad, by the way. I had 5 raids over night and in all but the last one, I managed to beat them back pretty handily. The last finally broke through my defenses and got just 2 trophies and not a whole lot of resources from me. I have yet to watch the preview, but my TH finally finished its upgrade overnight, so I'm building my 2nd archer tower now. I'm just wondering where to put my AD that I just acquired, since there's no central location that it'll fit into.

Our glorious political masters have, in their wisdom, decided to form an alliance with a rag-tag bunch of freedom fighters right when the Federation has us at a tactical disadvantage. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in the Feds firing on our vessels...

Damn you Huxley!

Always have AD centralised as much as you can, or you're asking for it to be sniped before the balloons roll in. It's literally worth redesigning your base around it. It matters less at lower TH levels, of course.

Very well. It cannot be pulled by giants. Giants have to destroy the outer cannon and then knock on the walls in order to pull. Problem is: they won't go knocking on the wall after that first cannon, they'll walk to the archer tower next to them, at which point they still won't pull. This basically makes giants useless against that base, unless they pull with hogs/balloons. I've only received 1 giant attack on me when I still had that base, so I can't really tell you for sure, but the CC troops not being pullable really scares off using giants.

Basically use any base but the ones from the OP. Every single one is bad in wars. Most are bad for farm too.

We are actually a pretty chill clan. The only "non-chill" thing is the 2 wars a week rule, but even that's not a zero tolerance policy. I think it actually helps us all stay engaged in the game.

Yes, someone was banned and drama ensued, but that's literally the only out of the ordinary thing that's happened lately.

Did you use a bible quote in your invite request? Because that requirement is just there to extract maximum amusement from random applicants. The actual requirement is an SA reference like all goon clans.

But also, if we're full and everyone's active by our criteria, everyone gets rejected. Nothing personal!

It's not that they're completely terrible. It's mostly that there's not a whole lot of them, I get that the OP is already huge, but still. Before we started sending out messages that people should get some new bases for Clan Wars, half of Spergs had the TH8 Tempest layout, it only takes 1 opponent to 3* it and all the bases will be 3*d. A bit better variety would help a lot.

As for the Tempest in clan wars, it's bad. Which is understandable as it's a farm base. If no one does it within an hour I'll throw a TH8 war base in here for the OP, I've posted it a while back but it was just a screenshot.

I disagree, the TH8 Mantis base is pretty good and seems to terrify/confuse most opponents.

Would be nice, and spergy, if someone collected data on how well the war bases did. Like avg stars against, army comps used against, th level against, etc.

Would be a stupid amount of work but an open google doc would let us all add data in as long as the directions were simple enough.

We're at an awkward stage where a lot of people are transitioning into TH9, so we get matched against clans with 15+ TH9s and high TH8s. Mantis doesn't really work against them, sadly.
