What's the best army composition for DE Farming as a maxed TH7?
none.
DE at TH7 is a pipe dream. Get your wizards, drags, etc maxed. Unlock max DE barracks so you have a good head start at TH8+ to unlock golem.
8 giant/8 wb/30 gob/rest barch
With this army if you dont get your BK to level 5 within 2 weeks, you probably dont know how to raid
Mass lvl 2 Dragons can take TH9's storage quite easily with the aid of Rage spells. Or you can hop up to 1800-2000 with a bunch of Lightning spells and look for uncollected DE drills with Barch. Don't worry about DE at TH7 though, upgrade to TH8 when you finished your Gold/ Elixir Upgrades as it'll be so much easier to get at TH9.
I don't have special troop combo to farm DE. But I always take 3 lightnings and raid my cup in a proper league.
I farmed enough DE to max my BK at L5.
It is definately possible.
Get high in trophy, 1400-1600 at least. look out for bases with exposed DE storage and available loot of 500+ DE.
If you can get to crystal, 1950+; look out for bases that have maxed out DE drill and take them. I have collected DE upto 2200 from the drills.
Use Giant-healer or BARCHER with few giants and look out for bases that have exposed DE. There will be people who say its impossible but believe me, I had maxed my BK before moving to TH8.
Look at my Heroic Heist in my sig and be jealous. 130K DE! :rolleyes:
What I did was to push to crystal by sniping TH (2 days from Gold III) and snipe exposed drills on the way. From this during one raid I earned 2000 DE in one raid purely from drills.
Ok, Thanks for the advice guys. I'm about to start my grind to maxed Barb king. See you guys in two weeks! If I know how to farm... :P
if you want to loot from DE storage , try this combo :cool:
16 gaints , 8 wb , 16 wizards , rest archers ( cc wizards 5+ ) + healing spell.. you can take 2-3 stars , & loot almost every storage from th8 , even th9 if you have skill ;) !
I'm Th8 but I could still see this working: Snipe to a high trophy range, say 1700-2000 trophies. You'll find mostly th 9's and 10's. Train up a regular barch army. Find a base with full dark elixir drills. It takes a few minutes of searching, but a th10 will full max collectors can yield 3600 dark elixir!
Barch.
Trust me, I have a 125k heroic heist at th7
Max out everything first. Then snipe TH's up to crystal league. The loot bonus gets you De there. I use 9 dragon's, 20 archers and 3 lightning spells. Archers for outside TH's. If you run into a base with a lot of DE see if you can raid it with the dragon's or zap the storages.
When i was in th 7 i used 15 giants and 2 healer rest is for arch and barb,they will do the great damage and they are cheap and takes only less time.i bought my king by using this combination only.
Definitely possible with BARCH. Just bring some WB's and a few lightning spells for the splash damage that covers the DE storage unit.

Barch+wbs used to work wonders for me
I use 9 lvl 2 dragon's, 20 lvl 4 archers and snipe up to crystal 3. Loot bonus there nets you dark elixir.
Believe me, a mass dragon attack with proper placement can send them straight to the core where all the dark elixirs are. With mass dragon's I get over 1ks of dark elixir per raid.
You can also use batch, and take out full drills but I find that process slower. Why settle for less?
