I have seen couple different attacking strategies on dark elixir but I was wondering is it feasible to raid good amounts of dark elixir and trophies in the same raid. I'm TH8 and almost in crystal league. I'm not quite sure of the army to use. I figured giants, wizards, wb and archers.
Th snipe th9s and use Lightening on their de storages.
Hunt Down th8s with good DE using GiWiHe to reach the core with DE storages.
I am a th8 in Gold 1. You touch my DE, I will find you, I will trash your base and will take away your stuff. Period.
What gets me is I get attacked for 800+ and it takes me 2 attacks to get that. I normally use BAM strategy cause of the time to train. Waiting for other strategies takes quite a bit more time which is time for me to get raided.
In such a case you need to put you th outside for small frys to snipe it.Quote:

I'm thinking about sticking around in Crystal III to get the 100 DE bonus to go along with my DE raids. You think crystal league competition is too tough for them to not come after just my DE with my TH outside?
It is tough but nearly not as much. Th9s won't raid you until you have over 20k DE. Th7s won't be able to raid you even if you have over 20k DE. They will either lighten your DE storages and take out the th or just take out your th and leave it at that. So at most times you should get free shield. Also if you are looking to save DE don't use BAM, not that DE friendly. Use either BARCH or GiHeWi. Th9s will be easy snipes in that league as most th9s farm around there.Quote:

I am in TH7 now and have a lvl 2 barb king. I save up almost all the DE that i loot for the king. I maintain my trophy in silver II as it is easy to loot for gold & elixir. I usually go for the drills in the outskirts or light them up depending on their lvl. I only light up storages if I can get at least 1000k. Other than that I get a decent amount in the clan wars. I use drag rush on revenges if I can get 1500+ DE loot. I usually use a barch army with a few WB and goblins.
My friend if you use the same strategy in crytal 3 you can make 5-10K De in a day without much effort.Quote:
