When foraging below 200 cups, do your utmost best to not provide a shield to your victim as there is a very good chance you will see them again in the very near future:
I realize that these are not fantastically high amounts of loot, but it is about what you will expect to see when you go below 200. Also, I tended to over-commit troops during these raids as I was primarily hunting for gold. When you are sub-200, elixir is a by-product of your raids and your storages will quickly be overflowing.
In order to prevent inadvertently providing your opponent a free shield, do not do more than 39% damage, even if it means leaving loot behind. Remember, you are probably going to see them again.
