Does anyone see an elixir problem?

This is all based on the assumption that we will see level six troops with more Elixir costs

I have TH9, while loot is down since upgrading it's not awful, and the additional defenses have fit my style of play well. However, at TH9, I have been having a hard time building Elixir.. Often I'll fight a battle where focusing on the gold doesn't give me enough Elixer to replenish what I used. All pumps are maxed, so I have been able to save some, but at this point only have 1 xbow

Once I get a 2nd xbow, and the additonal cost of level six troops, the fact that there has been a lot of new uses for Elixer. At the maxed level, 2 X-Bow's will now use 4 times the Elixir of the single original X-Bow, dark Elixer storage and pumps use millions of it to upgrade, now level 6 troops both upgrade costs and cost of using every time.

I am very much wondering if for raiders/farmers with high level troops Elixir shortages won't be an issue? It is borderline for me.. since TH9 upgrade I have had to focus at times on raiding Elixir to have enough, have only upgraded one Elixir item.. And it looks like the need for this stuff is about to grow!

Perhaps we will see Level 12, 13, etc. Mines/Collectors?

Maybe with the new troops you can deploy even less of a army to get lots of resources, of course if you're struggling it will take time to upgrade I suppose.

well.. I believe for th7 and below, and some of the th8, elixir is excess.. seriously too much elixir, too little gold :(

I bet they will require dark elixir. Get those drills upgraded!

2m to upgrade drill is a joke i rather spend it to upgrade troops n steal

Agreed I also hope the new troops balance out the strength of defense. It's brutal out there

It sounds like you need to use cheaper troops. The key to building elixir is to use archers/barbs/goblins. And to hit targets with a lot of elixir in stock of course.

IF we see level 6 troops the troops will be even more expensive. On the other hand I guess an additional level of troops will make it a lot easier to kill targets, should even out nicely.

I've almost maxxed my elixir at TH7. It's currently around 3.7Mil (4.001Mil is the max).
The only things left for me to spend it on are...a level 7 barracks (that I can do twice) and a level 8 barracks...and troops whilst I raid for gold, or removing obstacles.

If I did get bored and did those 3 upgrades before TH8 arrives (which I don't actually have time as it's only 4 days away now), then I would be empty. But I kinda wanna keep it for the lab and level 5 archers. :-)

Either way, it's not gonna be a real problem for anyone...the mechanics of the game pretty much allow you to afford the pump/mines upgrades, and once they are maxxed, that's over 400k a day, which even if you got fully raided twice a day, would still leave you in profit...and you'd hope to be able to keep more...and plus you'd be raiding for more anyway.
Also...ppl being bored will gem more resources into the game, and new ppl join and grab it from the goblins, feeding into the system too.

It'll just mean more time for normal players....again!

This is just going to create more farmers...... "Sigh"
And more farmers creates more complainers..."Sigh"

Good idea on cheaper troops.. I use heavy giants/some wall breakers, giants used to be a bit speedier than archers to build. I never noticed any Elixir issues at TH8, but at TH9, it seems enough different that I actually have to try to raid for it at times to keep a decent supply.

No complaints at all, I just very much enjoy the game, yea the TH9 loot is less, but I'm still having lots of fun.

I use about 100 archers, about 70 barbs, 5-8 giants and 5-8 wb's. That works for me for just about all TH 8's, but it took some experimenting before I got the combo right. I also wanted to avoid micromanaging my barracks, now I just let 1st build archers, 2nd barbs, 3rd 5-8 giants and archers after, and 4th 5-8 wb's and archers or barbs after.

i know you don't like to micro manage, but if you use this distribution it will only take 24:25 to train your army and if you have at least all level 8 barracks you won't need to load 'em up more than once:

Yeah. I'm always doin the math of my troops, but then I realized that I can do it the way I described in my first post and achieve the same result in the same time. With a lot less keystrokes. Two taps in each barrack one and two, 3 taps fill barracks three and four. Your way uses way more than 10 taps in tltal. Plus you need to count the troops. i only make sure I make, say, 8 giants and 8 wb's in two of the barracks first. The rest is automatic.

I'm strange that way.

Yeah. I have wondered about that as well. Mine is between 50-60kk.

I think they are going to make more troops use de. Once I get my queen Imwon't have much interest in de because the upgrade iprovement is so koninal for king and queen.

I guess we could see level six troops though which would be interesting as well..

So whenever i click that link in my bookmark, all the numbers are there already.
troublesome to keep clicking barrack and troops level every time i use. :p

The only people who complain about farmers are partially ♥♥♥♥♥♥ed level 25's who want 2,000 trophies.
