All rules are discarded with War Layouts
* your loot is no longer important to protect
-Reason; hardly any actual loot when u are raided on a war base is yours!
* your defences and TH are #1 priority
-Reason; If they can't destroy you, they can't get stars, in turn, they cannot get bonus loot!
Base Layouts:
Variety of different preferences/options, but basically the fundamentals are the same for 97% of bases
(ying is the 3% in our clan! with his batman design)
Think of your base as a target,
Bullseye: TH, CC, King, XBows, Inferno tower, or a combination of them
1st Ring: everything mentioned above, plus 1/3-2/3 splash damage items
2nd Ring: remaining spash damage items, cannons, archers, Remaining Defences
3rd Ring: Gold/Elixir/DE storages, Mines, Drills
4th/Furthest Out: Barracks, Bases, Builders, Lab, Spell Factory, ALL non-loot value items
Now, you still want some symmetry and division, between certain items
(so don't pull all mortars in a line for example, 2 or 3 lightning takes them all out)
Multiple Defence Items
* multiples of 3 of a defence item, lay them in a triangular pattern,
* multiples of 4 a square or diamond pattern
-Make sure to see how far their coverage area is, you still want your far-reaching items to be able to cover most of your exterior base.
-ideally you want your cc/King/Queen very difficult to trigger, so adjusting their location is key
-If they send in scouting troops, u want your defences to shoot them down before they trigger your heroes/cc
Now Some People like to have all walls tight to the item they are surrounding,
but leaving visible gaps is a usefull tool, if used properly.
* gaps are great places for traps, bombs, teslas
* A base with no-gaps inside the walls are a hog/giant lovers dream
Remember STARS are earned by:
1- TH destruction
2- 50% total destruction of your base
3- 100% Destroyed
* If they can't get to your core, you will never be 3 Starred Again!
Hope this helps, and any other questions let me know!
