I am about a week old th7 and I'm wondering whats the fastest and most efficient way to get DE so I can get my BK ASAP. I have 200 army copasity and currently 3 lvl 8 barracks and 1 lvl 5. I also have a lvl 3 spell factory with lvl 4 lightning if that helps
i also have 1900 gems and 5 builders but I don't want to use gems on DE if possible
ok i admit i lightning dark elixir
but here is the thing
when a th 9 or 10 attacked me and was farming, id revenge them with 3 lightning spells on there halfway full storages muawhahahahahah
and they cant do anything about it because it was revenge
maybe u could use my way lol
Lightning and climbing up to ~1800 and picking off exposed drills/storages is probably your best bet, that's what I did. Now I swim in DE cause I farm with dragons, but it'll take you a while to get to that point. Barbs/archers should be sufficient enough, with level 3 troops it'll be kinda difficult which is why lightning is so good for getting him initially (after that I wouldn't bother wasting the gold). If you find a base with 3k+ DE lightning it, otherwise keep looking for bases with exposed drills/storages and picking them off.
Lightning it! With the spell boost, you will get it in 1-2 days!
Lightning it. Many people might hate you for it, but the fact that supercell doesn't give th7's a de drill is almost begging you to do it. I recently finished th7, and had a bk 4, and many other have got it to 5, plus de upgrades. Only go for the ones that have over 1500, and depending on your trophies, maybe even higher than that. Best of luck!
If you want the easiest way, then it is lightning the storages. I would not recommend this but just pointing that out there. If you have all lvl 9 Barracks, then go to 1600 - 1800 trophies. Those have good people you can mass dragon them with. Each attack should amount to at least 1000 Dark Elixir. Before a Mass Dragon army would take as much time as 3 lightning spells. But currently with the Halloween update, spells are much faster to make.
Yup, unfortunately it is lightning for a TH7, that being said if you raise your trophies up to around 1800 and carry a decent farming army with wiz, you may find some good DE.Quote:

Literally how I did it. Get lvl 9 barracks all four of them asap. I got my lvl 2 de storage maxed in 2 days and got my BK to lvl 5 in a week. You get 200% more loot on TH10 FYI.
Lightning is for lazy losers. Don't do it. Using dragons is effective but it will take you forever to get all of your barracks to lvl 9 and also wont allow you to upgrade defenses because you will be spending all of your time upgrading barracks. So if your looking for the fastest route to the BK from where you are now then then try this:
14 giants
2 healers
6 wb (you only need 6 because you will be searching for DE that's is behind 1 or 2 layers of walls)
The remainder a mixture of barbs/archers/gobs
Then hang out in gold III and look for storages in the first or second tier of the base (and exposed drills also). This army is fast to build (3 raids per hour if you start the healers before you go out to raid) cheap on elixer, and generally will get you 2 stars so you can stay in that 1300-1600 trophy range.
The attack strategy is very simple. Clear cc and BK if they are placed where they will interfere with you getting your DE. Then use your giants to take out the closest AD to the DE (2 wbs to get you past the 1st walls). Send in your healers to keep your giants tanking and more wbs to open the walls to the DE. Then send in waves of barbs to clear any outside buildings, then archers and gobs to take the elixer.
the real key is finding the right base so don't be afraid of the next button. I usually hit it at least 20 times. Also, I did use 3 lightning spells if needed to take out ads (and cc troops) if there was a ton of elixer. With this army you can target 500 DE and above and still get that storage full very quickly. I did this and maxed my BK way early in th7.
good luck
Read the link in my sig. I wrote it for TH7s.
Also read Unity's thread on Super Heroes....
Good Luck... Max out that BK!
-r
2 options:
1) lightning
2) 12-14 WBS + giants + archers + gobs + 1x RAGE
and dont forget to get to 1400-1500 before that.
I d say dont rush it. I am pretty sure u have a lot of things to upgrade just take your time.
Most of my dark elixir comes from crystal farming. BUUUTTT theres that little bit of revenge inside me. You attack me? WELL I LIGHTNING YOUR 2K DE! I did it to Alvink83 from DTP. you on the forums bro?
