I need strategies for getting dark elixir

Ok, so I am mid th9, and am using BArch to farm dark elixir with healing spells. it works for dark storages at the edge of a base, but usually I only get 1000 per raid, therefore making my DE/hour 2000 on average. I see many bases with 1500-2000 dark elixir, but it is in the center. With barch, I can get around 2-3 layers into a base, 3 with heroes, but I can never get to the center of a farming base. Hence the need of a new farming strategy.
To look at my stats, go the clan 'Kevsa 1' and find me, the dominator. I am also getting my wizards to 5 today with gems from an iTunes card. Please help.

Go for Balloonion with Rage+Heal spells. They help a lot at higher levels in getting to the center.

Ok, lucky my balloons are maxed. What trophy level is good?

balloonian takes forever to train, and they consumes DE. Not a good idea if you are pushing DE.
Go for Giant healer, or giant with healing spells. AQ if you have them, improves the chance by 50%.

lv6 giant though.

Giants, wb, archers and gobs. Can easily get to the core and take that DE storage. Though sometimes you have to deploy a heal or rage spell on your gobs. :)

Mr.TS, I use 15giants 10wallbreaker and Rest Archer. It works for me though just got my BK to lvl9 just now using this method. Im a near max Th8 done with everything except Tesla and AD.

Check out my protected healer style:

I raided almost 2.5M DE w/ it ... till I shifted to BAM when I went TH10.

I get a lot using BAM in Crystal League. Make sure your dark elixir drills are both level 6 because they really help a lot. :)

check out my guide:

use Giant Wizard Healr to reach the center. Heal spells if you want to. Raid in crystal 3 and raid only bases with over 2k de. You will lose a lot of elixir in this method but can make around 10k De in a day.

Thank you everyone, I see everyone is saying giants and healers. I think I will use healing spells. my giants are level6, as I have tried this before. Hopefully this time i will be able to break into the centre. Thank you everyone.

Giants and healers? they take so much time to train.. I'm farming DE right now using barch and its effective..

the difference is i always bring 8 wall breakers to get to the center. If I see a base with over 1k DE thats fine to attack with the relatively cheap troops and quick training time. A heal and a rage can also work wonders.

I started after my lunch and a few hours after dinner i HONESTLY farmed 25k DE. I don't think thats pretty bad.

I'm in Gold 1 btw.

Ok, thanks but I have been doing that and it is not that effective, as. I can never get into the centre. I think I am going to use GiBArch for now. It only takes 20 minutes so It is not that bad. Thanks guys, if you have any more suggestions, please say.
