Dark Elixir usage with TH7

Hello,

I'm currently TH7 and have got level 2 Dark Barracks last week.
I'm finding it very hard to use the Hog Riders since their cost is very high and on TH7 you don't have a drill yet.
So, in your opinion TH7 dark elixir is abit useless, isn't it?

Let's say I use it on Clan-War, in about 10 HR. That's 400 DE, which is very hard to loot. Pretty useless I must say.

How so...?

Th7 is quite a low level for lots of dark troop usage. However, when you can raid comfortably in sliver you can get 400+ de every raid, and so it's completely possible.

Try to get hero and lvl him up as far as u can.
Yea i agree hogs are expensive.
Alsomax dark troops
its not useless , its just rare.

*Try* to upgrade Barb King. That's what I do with my DE.

TH7 is where you save all your de to upgrade at least Minions and Barb King to level 2.
Don't waste the de on troops as a TH7, not worth it...

This Pretty Much Sums It All.:D

at th7 i used to snipe my way up to Crystal... farming my dark there.. i maxed my BK quite early (half my way through maxing th7) and also did my minions and hogs to lvl2 (not the last research but almost)

so it is possible...

oh! and by the time i was in Crystal, since dark is not hard to find, i also had dark to use on troops... like baming to get that dark or even taking some ressource while sniping (cause that's the way you keep in range... no other way)

so having barb/arch lvl4 and minions lvl2 and could almost never dry up dark until i started another bk upgrade or that hogs research

just keep in mind you'll be atk for 100% and all ressources... even if your th is outside... or if you are Lucky and nothing to grab

Ok, that's a nice thought. I might actually use it.
How many trophies did you have when you did that?

i used to snipe around 2300 then just raid for drill... once hitting 1900, sniping back until i reach what i want... even by sniping and taking exposed drill, you can barely get to 10k de when hitting 2300... but it takes day... so you can just try to stick to 1900-2100 (with C3 bonus)

i cook 2 barrack of barb, 2 of archers and it goes well... and upgrade your skills at sniping by the time... in the beginning you,ll lose some times with trapped th.. once you are used to it and know how to deploy, you can still snipe them with about 40/40 barb arch MAX... and the time it takes to find them, you'll have full army to go on.
