So where is it?
Well this has a couple factors, depending on the player:
- I have a hunch that your global location may have an effect on how much available loot; location, time zones, etc.
- Your overall base defense. Dare you attack a TH9 with mean looking walls, upgraded heroes, jet-black cannons, and risking a painful revenge on everything you are about to gain?
- Your troop levels. Are your goblins packin enough punch? Do your giants absorb enough hits? Can those arrows pierce into those storages?
- Your activity. How regularly are you able to raid?
Assuming you havn't rushed your townhall, you have the basic troops maxed (barbs/archers/giants), you are say, around level 70-90, then you should be around silver 1 to gold 3. I recommend this trophy range because although the higher leagues (gold 1/2) reap more loot, possibly 400k+, this is obviously not consitent. Down at silver you'll find that most attackers th7, weak th8's or gemmed th9's, meaning you are more likely to defend your loot.
On offense down here, from personal experience, i'm finding quite a few 150-300k collecter raids. So no, none of that fancy 'oo i found a 1 million raid', but I am lucky enough to find these within 15 minutes of each other - with little raids inbetween.
Like I mentioned, with such weak bases the loot is much easier to access as appose to being in higher leagues, versus active and developed bases.
For this trophy range (silver 1 currrently) I am using 6 giants, for those 'all buildings encased' or 'large center' bases, 6 wall breakers, for easy storage raids, 60 archers, for collecter raids, 50 barbs, for back-up, 40 goblins, duh, and 4 minions. Now minions aren't essential, but when there are only cannons/mortars in range, there's nothing to stop them. I don't use too many goblins simply because they took much longer than archers/barbs do to train.
At the moment I am running the risk of having a hybrid base. I say 'risk' because, obviously, if i'm FARMING should I not be using a FARMING base?
Well the thing is, like most other farmers, i'm not winning raids. Now if i'm losing raids, and i'm losing defenses, then i'm losing trophys.. so i'm not maintaining my trophy count. So, in order to remain in my league, I need to gain what I lose on raids, through defense.
Again, this is my personal experience and I feel like everyone's raiding is different, even if both players are in the same townhall/trophy range the raiding can be so very different.
If you'd like to check my base
Clan; Storm age - black/white shield
Name; Dylan, near the bottom..but i'm farming so :)
P.s i've modified my base a tiny bit, it isn't anti-hog anymore, sincee i've just finished my push to masters (where my base did great by the way, hint, hint) and now I need to do some serious upgrading!
