TH9+ SC needs to add one more drill or drill levels to deal with so many DE

I just think of drill production as offsetting my raid losses... that way my expectation is that I need to raid for every drop... Truth is that drill production far outstrips raiding losses... good thing... but drill production is not even 10% of weekly DE requirement to keep even one hero upgrading... resign yourself to raiding for your DE.

you are supposed to have to work to get the DE to level up your heros. Strong king and queen is the true difference in strength, who is more willing to put in the work

you had like 116 levels between the two accounts. And you say its difficult to farm DE ??
C'mon.. is this a flaunt or genuine ?

I have no problems getting heaps of dark.

This is a good idea. A Dark Elixir drill level 7 would be most useful.

Most of the time you just need to look harder for de and not ask supercell to do something about it. In sports, I use the expression "it's not the equipment, it's you." I use that same expression for farming in Clash.

hey I'm all for raiding but if they want to introduce L7 drills and L13 pumps and mines I'm not going to complain.

I'm have no issues keeping my heroes upgrading as soon as they finish and I was able to do that while upgrading all my dark troops. Sounds to me you don't farm enough. Not suppose to be easy. Too many people don't want to put in the time. I love going into war with the highest heroes. To get them in the 20s isn't suppose to be easy and mine are not maxed yet!

Yes I realise it might be a strange concept however I really believe getting and holding on to DE is much easier at TH10 with the heavier offense TH10 has to over and the additional drill. It outweighs the loot penalty vs attacking TH9s as a TH10 in my personal opinion.
Of course if you're in a super serious war clan it's probably not an option to advance to TH10 unless you are fully maxed as TH9.

There you go, a mod encouraging optimising instead of maxing.

De gets easier when you go up in ths, that's why I laugh at players desperately trying to max heroes at th9, when th10 could finish it easier

I used to think that when I was in TH8.. But after an initial grind of early TH9 hero upgrades, raiding with QW and barch in C2-C3 has completely eradicated that notion. I get 2000+ DE per raid without any DE sink in troops/spells, and after reduced training and regen times, it is actually fairly easy to get DE..

The only problem in Th9 is the hero upgrade times.. 7 days.. and unavailability in war..
