Sweet Spot for th 9?

Hi so I'm wondering whats the sweet spot for th 9 will farming ?

1500-1700 seems pretty good

Masters league or up! Great loot after 5-20 searches, use the Ballonion strategy.

I prefer farming in higher leagues (crystal 1/2) because more tend to value trophies over resources so there's when you go snatch that loot ;)

But you have to accept serious losses on every defense.

I'm a new th9 but finding great success around 1500-1800, usually around 1650-1700. It's easy to rise and drop around that range and loot is almost always pretty good, if you're willing to fight more than just collectors.

I know you didn't ask about armies, but I think it's relevant to the range question.

I like to use about 100 each of barbs/archers and 10wbs, which can loot almost anything you find with heal and rage spells. Barch, some wbs, spells, and heroes when available is all you need for 95% of the bases you'll find. So if you aren't fussy you will probably find loot.

I consider "pretty good" loot to be about 800k non boosted per hour, or 3-4m gold for the 2 hour boost. Army costs up to 75k, depending on how many wbs you use, plus spells, which means if you're using spells then elixir gained is probably noticeably less than the gold accumulated, but that's ok, you should still have 8m most of the time :) I might gain 2m elixir for every 3m gold, or something. If you're finding a lot of collector bases then you won't have to use the wbs and spells. It depends. Those wbs really cut into your hourly profit, but best to have them handy.

Or BAM costs only around 30k elixir and you will probably use fewer spells, so you could reasonably expect 1m of each per hour (a bit more since you're raiding more with bam than barch, especially with wbs. I use BAM (with about 30 minions, so factor in the de cost too) to get an impression of the loot situation and if it's good switch to boosting with that barch+wb combo above. If loot isn't "good" i'll just stay unboosted bam and can still do about 1m an hour. Though this only happens about once a week, really. Usually the loot is "good." :P I don't find it worthwhile to boost if you're using bam since you still have to next a bit.

But what about de? As a new th9 i've found enough de to keep the queen almost constantly upgrading in this range (8 so far - probably been about 4 weeks now. also spent 40k on minion upgrade), but the king is still 10. Drills been upgrading so i know it's from raids in this range. I guess it's practically impossible to get enough de to keep both heroes upgrading constantly while farming in gold, for example, but i think gold is where all the easy gold is.

Nice post. You must be playing a long time every day to be able to dark enough de to constantly upgrade your archer queen, especially since you're farming in gold

Hmm. Well, it's apparently 252k de for the queen to lvl8, plus 40k for the minion upgrade. Started with 80k so that's only about 210k (around 7k per day?) since i started. lol. That seems rather low actually. Then again, sometimes i actually have to use de on minions as well. And i've had lvl 5 troops (and 4 minions) for most of the month (still have 4 days left on minion upgrade).

edit: apparently it's only 14 days cumulative build time, so probably inaccurate for me to have made the claim to "almost constant queen upgrades." Revised claim, "upgrade one hero half the time at gold, guyz - but the gold is gud!"
