Goblin Knife

INTRODUCTION
You Seemed amazed to see the title with Th 8.
This army can get any kind of loot you want to focus on. Once I move to th9, I will replace quakes with jump and increase number of giants and archers..Great way to farm!
I have made this thread for de farming but it can be used for any resource farming or hybrid attacks.
ARMY COMPOSITION
The army is(200+25cc army space)(7+1 spell storage)
9 Giants
52 Archers +1 of cc
4 Wall Breaker
95 Goblins
6 Wiz of cc
Spells
2 Heals OR 1 Heal 1 Rage(MY PERSONAL FAVORITE)
4 eq(one of cc)
ATTACKING STYLE
Creat funnel towards th and d storage with eq,wall breaker, giants wiz and archer.
Deploy king and gob (goblins in 5 groups of 15) for th and dark
Rest 20 are as a backup.If Th and dark storage is destroyed then use it to loot from drills,collecters or mines
Use heal/rage at correct time but only on goblin horde and archers
Enjoy loot.
ONLY DEFECT In Main Strategy
You have to be dependent on your clan to give you earthquake spell.This happens mainly in Small clans having less Th 8+.You can see the variation below which don't anything from clan.
Variation
As suggested by Marbarian
4 Giants
22, archers
8 wall breakers
92 goblins
1 heal/rage
4 quakes
1 poison.
If you use the entire army, you are looking at a 20 min wait time for next attack. Doesn't require anything from the clan,
Same attacking style....
Feel free to reply and help me to improve it

I prefer GiBarch over this set. I don't have to use Quakes that waste my precious dark.

Nice work here. I am also more comfortable with GiWizArch, but will definitely give this a go and let you know how it turns out! Great work!

It won't be a loss or wastage.Attack bases with more than 1500 de.That makes a huge profit as a th8

While you still make a nice profit, there are armies that cook in roughly the same amount of time that have the same ability to get loot, with the exception of the EQ. Saving 350 DE per raid over the course of a hundred raids really adds up. That being said, this is definitely still a great strategy for TH8s to make DE.

Gob knifing has been my go to for DE at 9. Have had my queen in a constant slumber. Wish I would have known about it at TH8.

One thing I do see as a problem is that you have to count on your clan to give you eq every 20-30 minutes, and for some people in smaller clans that's not really an option.

agree you.this is only defect of the stratergy.

Lots of different strategies, really like the general idea you have here. As TH8, this is what I've been doing: 12 Giants, 24, archers, 8 wall breakers, 4 minions, 92 goblins, 1 heal, 4 quakes and 1 poison. If you use the entire army, you are looking at a 20 min wait time for next attack. Doesn't require anything from the clan, I usually just ask for defensive units from clan mates to try and hold as much of my current loot as possible. This army can get any kind of loot you want to focus on. Once I move to th9, I will replace quakes with jump. Great way to farm!

This is just my opinion, but goblin knife isn't as good at it sounds at th8. It costs about 350-400 dark elixir, significantly cutting down your profit. There are plenty of other strategies that can farm dark elixir very well without using a single drop of DE.

Y can't you spend 350-400 de with a profit of 700-1600?

Then, you can explain your own strategy in your own thread without bragging to him about your no dark strategy!
This would help people.

The added benefit of a goblin knife compared to an elixir only "heavy" army that includes wizards, balloons, or dragons comes when I find a rich collector base. I can distract defenses with a few giants, then clean out collectors or drills with gobs and archers.

No spell support needed, huge profits.

How well does this work at TH9?

I think using barch is the best when you are farming, just have to spend a lot of time searching for bases and its better to be on silver league. I found at least 2-3 lakh elixr and gold
