I'm town hall 7 and I am trying to upgrade my barbarian king as fast as I can so that I am able to worry about upgrading my other buildings. Right know what I am doing for dark elixer is I'm at crystal 3 and I am hitting peoples dark elixer storages with 3 lighting spells and that is going very slow for me so I am wanting a better one so that I can max it fastest way possible.
Dropping lightning spells on de storages is a great way to get your ♥♥♥ kicked by someone(in the game), this severely pisses people off and I wouldn't advise doing it. I use giants and wbs then goblins and wiz/arch. Giants + wbs break a path to the storage then gobs and wiz/arch take it out.Quote:

The easiest way it to go all out with barbarians and archers (80 barbarians, 120 archers) and look for bases with filled dark elixir drills level 3+. If you come across bases with the town hall on the outside, make the most of it and snipe it so that you can sustain a trophy level for as long as possible because you're not going to be going for trophies specifically. If you start at crystal league like i did you will most likely find yourself in the 1600's area at the end.
It's a really annoying grind, especially without a dark elixir drill. But it'll put you in a huge lead when you get to town hall 8, where most players don't even have a lvl 5+ barbarian king.
Zapping DE is a good way to get 3 stared every time you log off. Don't do it, it shows that the person is a noob and doesn't know how to raid DE. Go to crystal leagueQuote:

As a town hall 7, it's not easy to obtain dark elixir. Not nearly as easy for anyone with 1, 2 or even 3 drills. If we lightning spell your dark elixir storage what's the point of revenging when you'll have to waste a huge army on a puny town hall 7. It's a shame seeing a town hall 10 for instance using lightning spells on a dark elixir storage, but for a town hall 7?Quote:

I did it to lvl 5 bk and hardly ever got raided in return..... keep your loot low and who cares if they 3 star you. Just focus on hitting th9 and th10 players..... look for exposed drills to barch and a fat storage to blast.
I think there's a lot of exposed DE storage in Gold 1 where you can grab 600+ DE with just Barch army
I second the motion!Quote:

In 11 days I had earned a total of 34K DE. Get to Crystal, snipe TH, and while doing that attack drills. At Crystal II or so DE is mostly in the drills.
I Disagree. I use barb-arch-WB. It is faster than the lightning spell creation and by any chance you may encounter a storage that is not centralized, you may get it all. Zapping will just give you 300-400 DE ( which is way too low) per 1.5 hour. While for the barb-arch-wb (20mins training time), you may get 400-1000 DE. so in a worst case scenario, you may get 1,200 DE per hour.Quote:

I know its not going to hurt them much due to the penalty but I just feel good about it.
Same when my TH is sniped by people with low-level TH (but high trophy), I got very excited. I enjoy 3-staring them. I usually lose 6-7 trophies when my TH is sniped and get 30+ trophies back when I 3-star them back. Its really joyful.
TH7s (even TH8s) sometimes lightening my DE storage when I was in TH7. I don't normally get upset as long as they take out my TH :) I think I revenged once only because that guy didn't give me a free shield. But don't feel bad, raiding storage is not that different from lightening DE IMO. Some would say raiding storage is even meaner lol.Quote:

I know I am a nice person right? :D
Hahahaha... You're got some serious issues dude...Quote:

With level 4 troops you might need to add some giants or if you decide not to use lightning then a heal spell so you can soak the pounding your tier1 troops will get. This is your best source but drills can add up and the c3 win bonus too.Quote:

Take 30 barbarians 30 archers 20 giants and 10 wizs....
Find a base with full DE collectors and storages and the storage should be within one layer of walls... means find a base in which h only hav to cross one layer of walls to reach the DE storage....
Check for cc troops and after eliminating them... attack on that side which is near to the DE storage....
Put all giants in one place and eliminate outside structures with barbs archers and wizs.... try to deploy them in such a way such that they find it easy to target the DE storage.... deplpy few barbs and archers on full DE collectors.....
Find bases with minimum 700 dark elixir.....
Enjoy the loot and enjoy clashing
Dude...you really didn't have to revive a thread which was the from the time when you were able to lightning de storages
