Calling all collector raiders!!

The majority of my gold & elixer comes from the grinding of efficient (ha!) collector raiding.

Over the hundreds and hundreds of battles that I have been involved in I have developed my own kind of system to make sure I get the most out of my army barracks training time and my hard earned elixer...

• Trophy range - 1500-1600
• Troops - Archers & Goblins (2xbarracks constantly on each), I also add minions if not saving de, this decreases training time.
• Minimum loot - 100k of each if super easy (collectors all outside or pickable). 150k of each in collectors (can get loot and 50% with up to 3/4 of army. 200k+ of each (whole army needed).

I am not saying what I do is best, it is what works for me after adapting to suit my playing style. This normally gets me near the 1miliion of each per hour mark. More during certain periods, not very often less.

What I would like to know is what criteria do all you other collector raiders use!

What trophy ranges do you stay within?

What armies are you using?

What criteria do you look for whilst searching?

Also what TH you are is pretty important! :)

Trophy - 1300-1800

Troops - Archers and Barbarians

if it even has 70k gold in i will take it if its free loot because it all adds up.

1200-1400
Gob and Arch
I usually go for 200k plus :)

Archers WB and gobs wbs; only if some collectors protected and 200k plus

Using Barb Arch Min I can get 1.5 Mil per hour easy at 1200-1300 cups.

i like to change my cup range a lot, i have found that crystal 2-1 have some awesome collector raids if you are not afraid to loose a few cups

What trophy ranges do you stay within? Silver III to Silver II

What armies are you using? 10 giants, 2 healers, 6 wizards, 6 WB, rest gobs

What criteria do you look for whilst searching? Must be over 100,000 resources

pSincerely,
TheEmperor

TheEmperor approve this message

Gobs are useless IMO.... Take 30 secs to train, and they only go for loot.. Which i suppose is good, but Chief Pat introduced me to Hybrid Farming/Trophy Pushing... Getting all outside buildings and then getting 50% as well :)

I find 1200-1500 to have very good loot.
I use wb's, giants, gobs, archers, and minions. I usually search for 200k+
TH7

What trophy ranges do you stay within?

What trophy ranges do you stay within? 1300-1400 if collector raiding

What armies are you using? Barchers

What criteria do you look for whilst searching? Should be easy to pick of the collectors.

Also what TH you are is pretty important! 9 :)

Going for loot is good for farming

Goblins don't tank like barbs do though.

TH9
2barracks Arc, 2barracks gobs and 6pcs wb
1200-1600 trophy range

Troops:100 Barbarians, 100 Archers (Time Effective, And cost Effective)


Trophie Range:1100-1250 (lots of inactive)


Goal Recources:200k Of each-At least

I hope you all like the army strategy!:p

As a TH6: 60 barb, 80 arch + wbs. Aim for 150k gold +, 800 k per hour

im a th7 and stay around the 1100-1300 range. I use 100 gobblins, since I have a 200 troop capacity, 48 archers, and te rest giants and walbreakers

But they have more dps and can take the loot twice as fast.

If any of you find me, go ahead and raid the collectors. I'm in the 1400 range right now. Gold mines are all full since maxed storages at the moment and no builder. Feel free to steal :)

Everyone has their strategies.

rather not reveal my trophy range

Me? 1100-1250 throphies.

th6(1 hour to.th7.)

i use giants, healer, gobs, archers wbs.

i get loot and trophies.

Aim: 220000 elixir + gold.:p

I like to stay right around 1600 but it your willing to look I believe above that can work - you just won't stay their long!

I do one of two tactics

(TH8)
1) Barb/Archer - with WB if needed
-If I have my barbarian king and 3 lighting spells I will hit a stronger base for a big pot!

2) BAM - I'll use up to 40 minions (20-30 is ideal as 40 can be too many)
-With this tactic I will often overnight a dragon army because the strain on my elixir is minimum and if I want I can do a 6/40 combination and have 3 attacks in an hour

Personally I don't use goblins often. I do like a small amount (20) but because I can manage with Barbarians and they tank better I often push them back in my upgrade list. I know they take down storages quickly but I just don't like how fast they can be blown to bits. Minions at least can ignore mortar fire.

I stay 1300-1600

2 barracks cooking archers

1 barrack cooking gobs

1 barrack cooking barbs

+10 minions

(When I am farming)

What trophy ranges do you stay within?

Silver1-Gold2
Drop to Silver3/2 when loot is really bad.

What armies are you using?

BAM (20-25 minions not used on every raid)
2 barracks each for barbs and archs, and 1 for minions which I stop when I get 25+.

What criteria do you look for whilst searching?

200k gold or 1000 DE. I will go for 100k gold or 500 DE if it's easy to get or I can get both without using CC.

Also what TH you are is pretty important!

TH7!
TH8 in 6days :)

Army Composition: 20 Barbarians/40 Archers/10 Wallbreakers/8 Giants/80 Goblins/10 Minions

Strategy:
1.Check for CC Troops (Very rare since you're attacking abandoned bases, but still good to just make sure) and Heroes.
2. Lure the CC Troops or heroes
3. Use a mixture of minions, barbarians and archers to kill of Heroes and CC Troops.
4. Start off by checking if there's any exposed mines/collectors, if there's any, use archers to snipe, if there's some that are only being protected by non-air-targeting defences, use remaining minions.
5. Use giants to tank defences (Only use them if you think it's worth the elixir and time), then, deploy 5-10 goblins for each mine/collector. Use archers if need be.
6. If there's some mines/collectors left behind walls, use either remaining barbarians or 1-2 giants to distract defences. Deploy the amount of wallbreakers needed to break in. Deploy goblins to slurp those resources.
7. Normally, if the amount of trophies I will lose if I lose the battle is quite a lot (25+ Trophies), I either like to complete 50% (I will only do this if I have 40%+), or, I like to snipe the defender's Townhall with my Archer Queen (If it's exposed enough)

Criteria For The Base I'm Attacking: 200/100 or 100/200 or 100/100 if the base is easy enough, mines/collectors outside. I really don't care about Dark Elixir as I am in a quite low trophy count for it.

Trophy Range: 1300-1400 is 'The Sweet Spot' for me. 1250-1299 and 1450-1401 is alright as well.

Town Hall Level: 9
