VD - Anti PentaThis is a base from our arranged war with Valar Dohaeris. The first attack on this base was a Penta. There were a few problems with the attack, mainly being that the attacker didn't kill the AQ who goes to town on the loons towards the end of the raid. What's more impressive is the loon pathing in this base. If you look at the AD's in the base, there isn't an AD island per-say. There's nothing obvious to give you the idea that your loons might have problems with this base when they are so OP. Look at the picture and see if you can spot it. Here's the first attack on the base. The placement of the defenses are such that the loons path around that one AD. They go from mortar to WT to xbow and up north instead of east to the AD. The hounds just sit there soaking up damage and no loons come to the rescue. Now maybe the attack would have worked if the AQ was dead but either way, not something I'd leave up to chance. If you want to attack this base with loons, you need to deal with that AD. In my skitch, you can see the loon pathing that I drew out. Loons could probably path from the WT at 6, to cannon, to AD but that's a pretty long hike. The defender could also put a Tesla by the builder's hut to pull the loons back towards 3 instead of the isolated AD. Instead of trying to figure out new pathing, I just zap quaked the AD and did the same plan but with Suicide Heroes. I also mess up on my deployment with trying to drop hastes and poisons for the CC that I miss my loons at 10 but they are so OP that I have extra at the end and still triple the base. When designing an anti-laloon base, setting up the loon pathing is just as important as AD placement. You want to create rings so that the loons circle key defenses giving your defenses time to shoot down the loons. The defender cleverly disguised the pathing here leading to a failed fresh hit and did the job. Consider incorporating similar concepts into your base to produce the same effects.
