So far, this is to me the best TH8 layout.
Worked well in CW that even a TH9 can't 100%.
Provided of course you have decent CC troops inside.
Basically its a modified anti-hog that suits a smaller sized based like a TH8. The storages are kept apart in all four corners, so even if the raiders can take one or two storages, they probably can't take ALL of them.

My personal favourite.
Been using design for the last 6 months or less.
Pure anti-hog and anti-giants.
Its not the strongest out there, but because its the widest sized layout, raiders often feel discouraged to even try to go for the core and just hit TH for trophy win.
There's totally no traps or teslas around the TH and archers stand a distance safe from archer tower. No one hates more than putting traps around TH. Its just cruel.
This base originated from one of the popular sky kingdom clan back when hogs were OP.
I'm glad the design didn't went viral because if too many people copy this layout, more people will know of its weakness.
Yes, there is a weakness with this design (which layout hasn't?).

Used for Masters....where only Hogs and Balloons rule the warzone...includes killing zone in front of the TH where troops cannot touch the TH even in front of it. Includes Free flow Merry go round to avoid Xbow stuck to Meat thats hitting on Walls. This base actually has a 30% chance of winning defenses in Masters!, means can stay in Masters easily with 30cups win through defenses.
Ppl see this base and laugh....but they dont know that this is actually a killer base. Many have fallen for that Merry go round...even top level players from top clans.

Below is a Fully customized base design for anti everything....but lowers all defenses...the funneling is zig zag crazy. instead of merry go round, it takes the Giants to a Zig Zag funnel...and the small boxes are time wasters for all farming troops incl wizards. I use this base for both Farming and Trophy Push. It previously had the word "b****" written on its sides...but was taken out for the rival clan was pissed off by it...so pissed off that they used the best player to 3 star it    But its tweak not to let that happen again. Ppls see this base and facepalm...WTH comes to mind

Below is a Pure Clan War Base...."0" storage protection....this is a fighting base sole purpose is to slaughter Hogs
This base is so open, with many gaps for traps, no one touches this base during clan wars lol...
Includes 2 spaced walls to fool enemy into thinking there's nothing in there (but cannot fool AQ and Wiz)....
But this base sucks when against farming troop (which seldom ppl use in Clan War) and drags
Tweaked by Peabak (Ringus designer) and customize again by me to follow my defense lvl and purpose.
Ppl see this base and say WTF is this?!

Note: Some of the traps and defense structures are out of place for confidentiality of the real setup
No probs to copy it but do tweak it youself, never copy paste base designs, what works for me might not work for you based on many perimeters
As you can see, my defenses all are not maxed even when my lvl is 100+. I spend most of my time on research of troops and base layouts.
