How to get Gems - Bait Base


What is a Bait Base?
A Bait Base is a base design where you make your opponents think that your base is an 'almost' open base. They would try to go for an easy Trophy grab or Gold rush and get faced with much more than they expected! 



As a result, your attacker will be forced to make 1 of the 2 choices, accept Defeat and move on OR use scrolls/revive and hoping to get what they came for! 


There are many types and styles of Bait Bases, which I will try to cover in the future, but for now here's an example of a Bait Base.


I'd like to call this one 'The Turn of Death!'

 It looks almost like an open base with a simple turn.

I fill the first wave with unsuspecting amount of Gargoyles,

 

And the second wave with ALL GARGOYLES which will arrive just on time while the attacking King tries to rush through all of my towers, taking critical damage.


I follow up with a Painful range wave following my 2nd wave of Gargoyles


At this point, usually 1 of  4 things happen. 


1) He rush straight through the curve and dies at either Gargoyles or due to the following waves.(Might uses revive in which you earn Gems)


2) He uses an Apocalypse/Armageddon to try to kill everything to prevent Death.


3) He uses an Apocalypse/Armageddon AND dies.(Might uses revive in which you earn Gems)


4) He backs away successfully and eventually push through and defeats your Bait Base.


The Results?




Using this 'Trick', I am able to earn 0-30+ Gems through my personal experience.


Tips

  • Try to make your Bait Base look as easy and open as possible, this will increase the chances of  'baiting' an attacker to attack you.
  • Consider lowering your Trophies to get weaker opponents who will more likely to get 'baited'. 
  • Make the path as short as possible, making long bases discourages people, making them aware of the 'bait'
  • Try to cover up the Gargoyles as much as possible, what I did was I covered it with Ogres and Mortars before Gargoyles are the next big threat.
  • Having high level towers and defensive waves helps.
  • Having some Gold in your storage may help attract attackers.

  1. Thanks for posting this guide. Earning gems can be really hard sometimes. Buying them is much eaier, but also more costly.
