It shouldn't cost more to raids than you're rewarded

Between search costs and troop costs it's getting harder and harder to find raid targets that are profitable. Conducting successful raids should be rewarded. Why not base the reward for normal raids on the difficulty of the base -- similar to how war rewards are determined (though they will obviously need to be smaller than war rewards).

if you don't want to do that, then lower search and/or troop costs.

No one enjoys having to search over a hundred targets to try to find one that won't end up losing them resources even if they win. It's ridiculous, frustrating and is sucking the fun out of the game.

Follow the loot, move up and down different leagues. My clan mates move from silver to master regularly as the loot changes frequently. Do "smash and dash" with a barch. lose a few trophy's or try for the 50% and gain a few. If it is all about the loot for you, try lower league level smash and dashes. I raid about 5-10 mil each and 10-15k de a day from silver 1 to crystal 2, just using barch army...just follow the loot trail. If you take trophy's out of the goal and make it all about loot, you will find loot.

i have used 5 archers and earned over 100 gold then lost the match. Bad base layouts are easy targets. When I get too lower in trophies I start hitting them hard again using less troops once again until I cannot win and then once again begin to lower myself. With luck I can gain 500k gold or elixer in a few hours.

I have 0 issues pulling in loot and I stay at Gold III / II.

Today alone I've pulled in 2 million each PE and Gold. I use a Barch army and I'm a weak TH8 since i just upgraded a month ago.

I never use spells in raids, its a waste of resources, and I only use Barbs Archers and Wallbreaker along side my Barb King. Sometimes i do have to scroll thru 50+ bases but I rarely ever walk away without 100K of at least one resource


If your using expensive armies like dragons or golems pekkas etc.. then yes you have 2 issues, the amount of time to brew your army and the amount of loot you must find to make it worth your time.

Just want to note that I'm a TH 10, so raiding anything below 9 is almost always a waste of time. Also, as I'm attacking 9's and up my attacks are generally more expensive -- especially as I usually need spells. Unless you find a base with collectors that haven't been tapped in a while, barching isn't always effective. You usually have to penetrate the base to reach the storage.

Also, I do move around on trophies. I've never worried about my trophy level. I try to find loot wherever I can. I also switch servers (e.g. Norsk) as this sometimes help.

but, at TH 10, the cost of searching is high and, again, I often have to search more than 100 targets before I can find something will cover my raiding costs.

The larger point is it's ridiculous to have to search so long. Why not reward us for the difficulty of the base we're attacking in a manner similar to the war system.

Make us balance risk with reward rather than hoping to get lucky on our searches.

Im a TownHouse 9 - I usually stay in Gold I-II . I can never find any loot in Crystal so I trophy drop b4 I even get there now. I use 2max Healers-14 lvl 6 Giants-10 lvl 5 Wallbreakers - 62 lvl.5 archers - 40 lvl. 5 barbs plus my heroes both lvl.7 if they're available - rarely use potions & I do just fine.

Follow the Loot, hunt it down, and steal it all for yourself! The loot tends to be good anywhere Silver 1+.

That doesn't apply to everyone. As a 10, I need to hunt 9's and 10's. Finding TH 9's and 10's is uncommon in silver. Finding one worth raiding is even tougher at that trophy level. Yes, loot is easy to find below TH 10. Hunting at TH 7 and 8 were particularly sweet. But, people do move on.

I also like how people say chase the loot up or down the trophy levels as if it's apparent where the fat targets are....
