Strategy for farming elixer at TH8

What is a good strategy for farming elixer at TH8?

I've been floating between 1000 and 1300 trophies, and have tried the following:

• Barbarians and Archers, a few bombers
• Barbarians, archers and goblins, a few bombers
• 12 Giants, Header, 10 bombers and cheap troops
• Balloonions
• All archers

I'm generally getting 30-50k per successful attack, along with the occasional attack that fails and the occasional attack that gets 100k+. The armies cost from 20k up to 70k, so I am typically getting around 20k with cheap armies and breaking even with the expensive armies.

At that rate, it takes days to accumulate a million elixer, and some tasks (e.g., upgrading troops) require over two million elixer. In the past, once I started to get close to a million elixer, I would start losing it in raids faster than I could acquire it.

My current base is has the elixer tanks in a well defended center, and the town hall completely undefended outside the walls. So most attacks now take out the town hall for 1k elixer and a few trophies, then leave.I'm now starting to get some real attacks that takes tens of thousands of elixer. I think I'm still making forward progress, but I suspect I'm near the limit of what I can get with this strategy. As I stockpile more and more elixer, I'll become a more inviting target and the number of real raids will increase.

Is there a better strategy than that?

I'm TH8, in the 1600-1750 trophy range, and haven't been having too much trouble (most days) finding collector raids where I can get 200k/200k with BArch.

idk whats ur issue but im th8 and 1450 trohpies steady farming getting well wicked loots 100-300k. each time guarenteed

When I was in TH8 I stay aroung 1700-2000 trophy range and get lots of good raids though post-update where you can dump elix to walls, loot has been terrible. You may want to use low cost troops so you can save more than what you use up.

Check out sir Minpin's BAM guide and you'll definitely have great results! here's the link:
