How To Design an Anti 3 Base

In this post, I am not going to list the bases for you to copy. I want everyone to be able to tweak their own and make it anti 3. So understanding the concept is more important.

How to make an anti GoHo map
You want to have a base that you don't want to GoHo it yourself. What makes it hard to Goho?

1. It makes my head spin when trying to guess where the DGBs are. Too many empty 2x4 spots by defenses.
2. Even if I locate the potential DGBs,it's pain in the ass to send in the kill squad to cover it.
3. Queen is too far from CC or potential DGBs, making kill squad's job real hard
4. CC is hard to lure and far away from queen. Has to cost me more to lure and redirect CC

In the following example(Don't copy it. It's 9.5), the map has FIVE legit DGB locations spread across the map with CC and queen deep in the base. It makes the raid real hard to pin point where your kill squad's entry point is gonna be. It will still be three starred by GoHo but will take a couple of tries by the enemy clan ASSUMING they know what they are doing.

How to make an anti Golaloon base

Golaloon is all about ADs and WT positions. And Queen of course. You want a base that is 

1. really tough to reach the ADs while all four ADs are covering all your defenses. All ADs are positioned and protected by other defenses so loons will have to zig zag to get to them.
2. Wiz Towers are not right by ADs so WTs won't be zapping at hounds all the time, but targeting at the loons
3. Queen is not directly under AD so lava pups can't kill her easily
4. Kill squad has a hard time achieving the objective with queen CC deep inside of the base with so many high HP storage protection. 

Let's take a look at this same map again. See my white pen highlighting the looning paths, they will just dance around ADs and will take a while to reach ADs while hounds are taking huge hits by lvl 7.  Also, queen isn't under AD, so you will have to take out queen by kill squad. But kill squad is blocked by high HP storage. WTs will zap at your loons, cuz they are not in AD (hound) ranges. I personally would not raid this map with Golaloon. It's just way too much headache to deal with it. 

I encourage everyone to think about how to tweak your own base and make it unique and hard to three star by using the above concepts. Good luck!!
