i'm currently at th7 and about to finish upgrading my Barb king to lvl 5. My question is was it worth it or did i waste time farming for dark elixir when i could have spent it more on upgrading my walls and air defenses (11 walls remaining at lvl 6 and both air def currently at lvl 4) and boy did it was hard farming at gold II.
Your efforts are far from a 'waste'. Nice job on farming the Barb King to level 5 I got mine buy gemming (what a noob I was :rolleyes:). Also welcome to the forums! :)Quote:

was it worth it? depends. did you spend 6 months collecting the DE? if so, then it was probably time better spent on the rest of your village.
Worth it,have fun with its Iron Fist ability, especially when a horde of barbarians following him:D
Farmed mine in about a week pretty early on at TH7 and it was extremely beneficial. I am now a proficient de farmer and got lvl 2 hogs and minions at TH7, practiced hogging so now I'm probably one of the key attackers in our clan for clan wars.
I am currently working on getting my bk to lvl 10 asap as a TH8. I find that it helps immensely in both farming trophy pushing and even helps a bit on defense especially when I centralize him in clan wars. Lots of morons don't lure so he just smashes their giants.
Wow I feel so nooby when compared to all of you guys. I'm th 8 and only BK lvl 3...
I gemmed to get my first bk haha... Never got him to level 2 till th8 and I was maxed on all my defenses. Mine is all grown up now level 15 and I've never actually focused on de raids ever. But all the effort you put on that king was not a waste, that iron fist doe.
Same! Hah.Quote:

Well worth it mate ^^ Im th7 still (4d till th8) and managed to get bk to 5 and hogs and minions to lvl 2... the bk was worth it as was minions, but the lvl 2 hogs arent that good imoQuote:

thx for the response guys. it took me 1 and a half month to farm for the de if i remember correctly. i tried going up to gold 1 but the problem was i cant stay there because the de of most that i get a match was heavily guarded. and when i go offline i get crushed by th9s haha. definitely will keep on clashing
Speaking of gemming. I used afew gems to topup my barb king to level 5 back then. Now my storage is constantly above 30K :p Silly me.
IMO doing either is fine. Walls are good because they scare off potential raiders. BK lvl 5 is good because of the Iron Fist ability.
If they ever get around to giving the bk the iron fist during defense it will be a huge bonus to those in th7 that put in the effort.
All said, as a current th7 with lvl5 bk it's worth it for the extra 4 troops and additional rage spell you can carry into battle .
I also have my minions upgrading and am working on hogs.
Just wish the bk was better for defense.
I did th7 King iron fist and kept a healer on him and a healer on my Giants sent em oppisite ways and was really fun having that unique time plus I felt It was like having a free spell every raid although not as powerful as reg spell
I upgraded my defenses first cuz even if my BK reaches lvl5 the atk n ph won't go that much... N the hero power isn't that useful either. However I wont say it's a waste to upgrade ur BK cuz ur eventually gonna have to do it someday :)
PS it's easier to upgrade the BK after reaching th8. N also, it's easier to get DE in gold 1+ leagues @ th7
