Would like an easier time farming DE and regular Elixir
Alright, so since at least th8, I've been using GoVaWi to farm for regular elixir and GiWiPe to farm for Dark elixir. My composition for GoVaWi is:
Archer: 10
Wizards:15
Valkyries:15
Golem:1
I use 4 earthquake spells to get me into the base, and drop my rage and heal spell on a need basis. I almost exclusively target TH9 bases that have their TH too close to the outside and that have over 300K elixir available to be stolen. I will attack particularly weak th10s especially if it's particularly easy to get to them and their Elixir storage despite the presence of inferno towers.
For GiWiPe:
Archers:8
Giants:8
Wizards:18
Pekkas:4
I follow the same strategy as above with the exception of targeting bases with easy to access De storage as well the th and the use of a second rage spell instead of a healing spell. This means that bases that have their De storage separated by even a single closed wall from the th is simply nexted. Also, I only attack if they have at least 1,000 DE available for stealing. Typically, most bases will have well over that amount so I come away with a nice amount of profit.
Like I said, this has served me well since I was a th8 which I became around July or so. And I became a th9 around November. Problem is that I'm now at Masters 1 and bases like my preferred targets are becoming harder and harder to come by. I'd go down in trophy levels but the league bonus is used to help offset the cost of my army so I can make a good profit. I've tried using the power of Google, as I first did when I stumbled across my current attack strategy, but the only guides I've found recommend using a Queen Walk. These then link to guides about how to use it if your Queen is low level and then those guides proceed to call a level 20 Queen low level. As someone with a level 7 Queen, it's a bit disheartening to hear.
My Archers are level 5, Giants level 6, Wizards level 6, Pekkas are level 4, Golems are level 2, Valkyries are level 3, Poison spell is level 2, earthquake spell is level 2, Rage is maxed and healing spell is level 5.
Any help whatsoever is helpful, whether it's a guide you can link me to or your own personal attack strategies or even a better trophy range to attack.
