Creator's Take

Soryn calls this base "pretty strong" by mid-stage with two layers of honeycomb on back and front. He stresses it's defensible during online raids. No major weaknesses mentioned — he designed it specifically for solo/duo wipes and has used it successfully multiple times. The compact footprint works for smaller groups without sacrificing raid defense.

Best For

Solo or duo players defending online raids on standard wipes.
