Hey guys im a TH7 and im looking to max out my minions and BK. I know that theres a lot of dark elixir at like 1600+ trohpies but how do you get it? ive tried lightning the storages with 3 lvl 4 lightning spells and if a storage has like 1k DE i only get 500. Any tips on how to get more or what im doing wrong?
There are quite a few threads on this topic you can look through. Getting 500 per attack with lightning spells is pretty good. We can't really expect to pull in massive DE at our th level. i will sacrifice my entire army if I can even get 200 DE.
You just have to search for good raids at higher trophy levels and use a fairly strong army to get to those vaults of de
i push next a ton haha but its worth it for the de
my bk is currently lvl 2 and im working on getting him maxed before i leave th 7
I'm a th7 with a level 4 king. I usually get 500-800 with a lightning attack. If i get lucky with a dragon army i can get over 1k dark elixir
I'm a town hall 7 with no bk, and all I do is use my trophy hunting army to attack a base loaded with de elixir. I will also lightning the storages. About an hour ago I got 300 de from one raid. Just aim to three star the base, that way you get everything.
Do 4 drags some giants wb archers and barbs when u find a good raid take out a few AD then send the drags in

*Update* If you're attacking a town hall 8 base make sure to destroy the de drill, that way you get de from that too.
I did it fairly easily by going to around 1400 trophies with 9 drags 20 archers and 3 rage spells, all max level. Hit bases with over 1.2k de, 1k if you aren't finding bases with 1.2k. Try not to use all 3 of the rage spells unless absolutely necessary. I attacked from the side defended by the least number of air defenses, or the side closest to the de, whichever was more convenient. This army basically guarantees you get the de from any th that has level 5 air defenses or lower and no inferno tower covering the de. It is relatively efficient too, considering that it takes the same amount of time to train with 3 max level th 7 barracks as it does to make 3 lightning spells. Faster if you have all max level barracks and do 8 dragons with 40 archers. Probably the best you can get in terms of efficiently collecting de for th7, providing elixir costs are of no object.
Dragons are actually extremely efficient in terms of de per hour for th7, providing one attacks the right bases and knows how to use the army.Quote:

I would argue that in order to take down bases which are strong enough to hold large amounts of de, you would need a very strong army, and in my opinion, dragons are the best option due to their health, dps, and ability to bypass walls. An all balloons army as you suggested would not survive long against bases that hold large amounts of de because they have relatively low hitpoints. My point being that high tier troops are required to take down high tier bases, leaving dragons as basically the only viable option (except lightning)Quote:

I don't use balloons and occasionally use a dragon or two. I mostly just use archers, giants, and wallbreakers. I focus on gold/elixir and if I find a base that has a bunch of DE I use everything to go after the DE and forget about the trophies.
well you could just use the free gems you get from trophies achievement and then use them to get Bk
No, don't do that. Not worth gemming for. Save the gems for your builder.Quote:

Go through your revenge list, and get all the DE from them. Check the storage and pumps before the attack and see where you should grab your DE. For strong bases, go for the pumps and lighting the storage.
When I was farming DE, I was overflowing with gold and elixir, so I basically just keep pressing next match until I get a good loot for DE. Avoid TH8, I only went for TH9 or above. That way, you get extra loot bonus, and they can get very little back even if they revenge.
I'm a TH7 with a lvl 5 barbarian king and soon lvl 2 minions. Get up to 1600 like you said. Don't lightning people.. It's not necessary and it's not fair to them. Upgrade your barracks so at least 3 are level 9. This makes it easy to make dragons. I raid with 8 level 2 drags and 35 archers (upgrading last army camp now) clear out some outside buildings with the archers so your drags can get right to the middle of the base. Bring some rage spells with you too.. And drop them when the dragons are near the air defenses. Don't attack people with level 5+ air defenses or less than 1500 dark elixir. I get around 2500 on each dragon attack. Also don't attack people with inferno towers unless you can take them out quickly. It's best to attack TH9s. And try to attack people that also have a lot of elixir.. So you dont run out (dragons aren't cheap) Good luck.
you should revenge people who have a crazy amount of de.
1) you wont get revenge if you revenge those people
2) you have a better chance at attacking people of higher trophy count and higher de levels
just don't forget to drop some barb on your opponent town hall (if it's out side) if you only using lightning spells on DE storage..
Go up to 1500 trophies, get a good faming army, and look for exposed D.E. Storage and/or dark elixir drill.
Look for bases that you know you can reach the DE storage... Be patient with the skip button!
Go up to 1600+.Get all barracks to level 9. Train dragon armies (9 drags,20 archers) Takes about 1hr and 30 min.
Steal their Dark elixir!
I usually rage some giants and Wizards ( you can substitute archers) to the core where the DE storage usually is. I then spam goblins to get the DE. I usually get 1-3K per raid if i go for DE. Im a Th7, btw.
