Hey folks, I have a second account on my phone that I keep around for those times I get stuck waiting for things, and I've recently decided that I want to use it to donate level 6 loons to my main account. I sort of rushed it to th9, and I'm curious as to how to design a base that can actually hold on to elixir. Any one got any ideas. For reference, the IGN is TickleFinger and the clan is "selah".
I would say...
1-farm enough of elixir f
2-full your camp plus barrack
3-leave as is
4-repeat when dried up or when got free time
you wouldn't care if it is only for giving ballons...
OH! and don't forget to put collector near the border without protection :rolleyes:
My alt acct is in the same vein; I made to keep busy during TH8 upgrades, and as a dedicated donator.. but soon it became a stand alone base that I keep up.
my Rush strategy was to always;
Max Camps, Lab->Troops for every TH for offensive prowess. Spell Factory was a secondary build to assist with looting big bases or kill CC troops..
upgrade Rax as you go along... for a while I only went up to WBs in the normal rax, and Hogs in the Dark rax as I just NEEDED Farming troops.
Other valuable elix upgrades include. Dark Drill and Dark Storage..and finally Barrax/Dark Rax (but I have Rax-OCD and they must all out put the same cue space :o so I keep mine balanced and the same level)
for Defense. *note* I did not care about cannons or AT till at least TH7..
First Priority; I always do Mortars first up to lvl 6 (gold finish) and Wiz to lvl6 (pink tower) once these units were done I felt better about rushing to the next TH
2nd Priority; Archy Twrs up to lvl 8(9 or 10 kinda optional) and Cannon min of lvl 9 (these one shot most archers)
**note I place HIGH value on Tesla and try to max those early in the build** keep a builder on those units IMO
A/Def like lvl 4-6 should be good and highest level close to the core just in case (maybe a air bomb or SAM (black bomb) near the A/Def to keep mass minions away.. or tag that Healer
X.Bows deter a lot of vermin from sniffing loots so they get upgrade priority as well (as much as time permits) but my alt only has one going to lvl 2 atm.. and Ive been doing alright I keep my single set to ground to help take adv of the range! also centralized in the layout.
but those level turrets can get you by for a long time. Walls need to be lvl 7 minimum, preferably with a skull core.
IMO the walls are a must, and honestly getting the lvl 7 walls is not a big stretch. lvl 8 is when it becomes a dedicated farming time sink..
Then I make a "Vault" style base with 1 dark and 2-3 gold (or elix after a big upgrade) in the core see OJM's post on designing a vault base.. CC ALWAYS in the center of my base to help prevent easy-luring. and usually Archers/Minions or Wiz/Dragon Minions really help against Barb/Giant/Gob/Hogs!
or you can make a segmented base with the stores in the middle under heavy guard. but keep the CC in the middle
I farm out my TH and stay in a low range (for TH9) like 15-1600 or so.. and loot like crazy while im on break from my main acct's long upgrades.
This strategy has served me well!
if you wanna search im in Azure Sky; B-Rye.
Feel Free to PM me if you have further questions..
Good Luck
I was like level 75 or so when I rushed to TH9 and I maintain my main acct, so its very possible!
There are times though when I only have time to raid one acct, just collect your pumps before your shield runs out and keep that easy loot in your stores for some real farmer to take from ya.
I did the same thing. The base I use is basically just a th7 pokeball-type base with an additional eastern wing to house the elixer collectors. I keep all gold mines and storages in a corner by my TH and stay in the 1200 trophy range. Never really lose elixer this way.Quote:
