High volume DE farming for a TH9

Hey, I'm coming to an end of defensive upgrades as a TH9 and want to start working full time on my heros. Of all the strategies I've seen and tried thus far, I love loonions the most for DE farming. The trouble is that it almost feels like I'm not making DE fast enough. Maybe I'm noob. Maybe Its 'cause I started looning a week and a half ago. Hell, I couldn't even 1 star a base last week I'm so green.

I hover around 2150-2220 and look for bases that have at minimum 1.5k DE, that don't have discos or upward pointed xbows. I know the higher in cups you climb the better the DE gets, but I'm worried about IT's 'cause they absolutely wreck my life every time I raid against them. I'm aware of the dragloonion attack, but I keep telling my self to master balloons and minions before bringing dragons into the equation.

My army composition is 20 balloons/60 minions - I usually have 1 lightning spell on hand and the rest rage

Any advice on making more DE in my position? Tips...

What is the problem? Are you not able to reach the DE every time, or are you just looking for more?

I found loonions didn't work work well for me. So I turned to BARCH, with 4 wallbreakers sometimes. I sit around 1850-2000 and target bases with 800 de or more. I gained about 20k de in 5 hours. Hope this helps you.

Well for the loonions, I cant get to the DE each time, and I know that DE is better in Crystal 1. The question is: Do you have any advice on deploying the troops such that I can get the DE and still 1 star the base. Right now, with my current way of doing things, its either one or the other--a suicide mission to get the DE or go for the 1 star.

I barched at 2700 for a week making around 30k DE a day.

honestly i think u need to learn more about the strategy of balloonions
since u started less than two weeks it will be very difficult for u to successfully attack bases at crystal league.
you need to have more experience at that level. join some experienced clan with balloonions and learn from them.
at the moment lower ur trophies to gold 3-2 and keep practising. i myself am using balloonions. its been more than a month. i still find it difficult to attack midth9ers and maxed th8. and don't forget practice makes perfect!!!! just keep trying at lower levels first....

With balloons, you should be able to 3 star a TH8 base (maxed or not) and get the D elixir from a TH9 that isn't fully maxed without any issues.

I was running 20/24 balloons, and 60/50 minions with 3 heals and a rage. I didn't have any problems hitting to the core, unless I tried to hit someone who I shouldn't have been hitting (maxed TH9 folks are obviously more difficult, especially when they have well set-up bases, and air/ground selected for xbows, and Disco balls suck.
