Safe and Sound is the new farming base layout by Radiating for late Town Hall 9 with maximum protection for only Dark Elixir Storage. This base has been tested by the author for months and has 99.9% guaranteed to keep your Dark Elixir safe like its name.
Base Mechanics and Features
Perfect Bomb Placements
Based on the some new AI changes after the July 1st update, in this base, Bombs are placed in nooks where only Wall Breakers can trample and they will be dead. Wall Breakers are the keys of most ground attacks to establish the funnel. Killing them can break any attack.
Air Traps work perfectly
Three Air Bombs will stop any Balloon squad which want to enter base from the top and protect the most exposed AD nearby.
Anti-Giant
Giant variations are very popular at every Town Hall level, just behind Barch and the attackers can’t do anything with Giants when attack this base. The orange lines in the screenshot below show you the pathing of this base for Giants. Instead of going to the core, they will always walk around the base, left normal troops behind and being attacked by key defenses.
Anti-Wall Breakers and all ground targeting troops
Most Wall Breakers and targeting troops usually avoid doubled Walls. As in the screenshot below, they will usually follow the orange lines and avoid red lines. They will be redirected to Spring Traps and fly off. Once the Wall Breakers hit the Spring Traps, most attacks will be ended.
Anti-AQ Core
As we all know, the Archer Queen can attack within 5 tiles. Base on that valuable information, the core can prevent the Queen from hitting the Dark Elixir Storage easily. Even after taking down all buildings in the core, she still need to break 1 wall in order to hit the Storage inside.
Seems like base creators are focusing on Anti-Archer Queen core these days.
Matchups
This base works fine against all common attack strategies. Just Golem variations and Hog Riders can crack it!
- BArch and BAM — ★★★★☆

Defense Logs
I love the Anti-Wall Breakers and Anti-Archer-Queen core of this base. Gonna try it with my little village next week. What do you think about this Town Hall 9 farming base layout?
gonna try it ,,was saving de fo hound wanted an de protection base
Normally I use 2 farming bases, 1 for DE while I farming Heroes and 1 for others while I working on walls!
i use 3 bases,1 for tropies,1 for de, n 1 for elixer n gold
ya 😀
I haven’t pushed my trophies since May. Farming like a charm at Silver!
i m farming at gold 1 i m getting 200k loot most of times,but i get raided n loot my 300-400k,,my friend th9 max is on silver 2he always get gd loot n never get raided by high player much,,so i aso wanted to go but vil i get rushed th9 instead of inactive th9?
i’m farming at champions league, 2kk loot on a bad day
300-400k loot is taken*edit
awesome worked wit me:)
Very nice 😀
Thanks for sharing buddy!
It wouldn’t be ideal for someone who is pushing you would Need to stay in Gold III, II and quite possibly alil lower for Gold I, l wouldn’t recommend for anyone in Crystal as the higher you climb in trophies more tougher and higher leveled troops will come and destroy it completely. This is very very useful for the people starting off with fresh Barb Kings! Great post!
Thanks for your suggestion and thanks for visiting my blog Homicide!
This base is very effective against common raids. Thx for this base guys
Thanks for your feedback Sopheak!
I personally wouldn’t use this base as is due to the double walls. I feel like the extra walls would be better used making more compartments or for more funneling than as a(n already deep interior) wallbreaker deterrent, since if they do happen to target the double wells, they can break through both.
Those double walls are one feature of this base for dealing with the targeting-troops like I said in the post above. It works with not only Wall Breakers but also all other troops which have favorite targets. I have tested and seems like it actually works! If we use those walls for another compartments, it may break the funneling.
You are right at that point, but every base has its own feature and style, right? Just try and maybe you will like it 😀
With the new earthquake spell there ain’t to many bases that don’t get 2stared
You are right.
The Earthquake has been breaking a lot of good bases. We need to change our design styles!
I like how this plays around with the ground troop mechanics, might give it a shot
Waiting for your feedback buddy!
which one is better?this or EON purge
Every base has its own features.
It depends on your leagues and types of attacker you usually face.
will potter i am in gold 3.
I think this base is suitable with TH 8.5,
will need a little modification tho.
Waiting for your modified version buddy! 😀
Sick man love the layout of your base id truly appreciate your contribution cheers!!!!
Thank you very much Elio!
The xbows are both set for ground&air ?
Nope, you should set them to both Air & Ground.
Never set your X-Bows for to 1 type.
Bro submitted my guide..hehe
this is the great DE protection base mate !
Thanks for the feedback buddy!
didnt work for me on the baloonian raid def. 350k each lost and 2500 de. this guy had vengence set for me. i hit him 4 hrs ago for 3k de and he hit immediately after i got off.
I am a th8.5 . so i have not built my xbows . can i replace d xbows with archer towers ? will it still help in protecting my DE ?
Of course it can’t be better than an original Town Hall 9 but you can easily stop TH8s from taking them.
Do you have a trophy base to go to masters easy(not a troll base) and another for champ leagues .. Im asking for 2 different bases because of the difference of troops used in xtal league and masters league… Im a mid th9 with lvl3 xbows lvl7 wiz towers lvl7 mortars and the rest max th8 defense
Hi Searl,
Although you don’t like troll base, I still recommend you try this one: http://cocland.com/base-designs/themis-trophy-troll-base-for-th9-10
I am pretty sure that you can push to Master III within 2 days by using it,
I used that and it got me to crystal 1 and it stopped working then I have no loot then just plenty dark elixir and I always get 2 starred
Already tried that but didnt work for me
What is the league you use it at?
nice base 🙂
