Best way to get DE

Stealing DE by zapping or full blown attack will attract revenges regardless. The difference is that by zapping, we can infer this is an attack from a lower TH attacking a higher or stronger TH. Therefore, it is easy to revenge back.

I don't zap, since i find it very inefficient use of elixir, time and spell. Also, I am quite skilled in my attacks, therefore i always go for the full destruction of the DE storage. The way i see this, zapping requires 3 spells to get about 40% of the storage. On the other hand, most of my DE raids require only one or two healing spells to get the full storage. The math does not make sense for zapping unless you are not very skilled in attacks.

BTW, I always revenge back someone who steal my DE (provide there is sufficient DE available), whether from zapping or full raid.

Zapping is the fastest way to get DE. You shouldn't be afraid of people saying "if someone zaps me I will three star him and take his loot or be a d*ckhead and trigger his traps" because only one of them can hit you at the time so you won't lose more than you have gotten. I zapped DE like crazy for 5-6 days, defended over 10 times with 300k of both resources and 2k DE available, and still most of the defenses were just TH snipes... so just zap your DE, but make sure that you give them a shield. Otherwise you will get steamrolled much more often... at least if you zap me =D

at th7, I zapped... but I had a few politeness policies....

I never JUST zapped de. I also used a full attack.
I also rarely zapped DE when I sniped a TH, every once in a while if it was too juicy to pass up... but not often.

Now, at TH8, I dont get cranky if someone zaps me during an attack, but if you JUST zap me, I am going to cook dragons and burn you to rubble in revenge later.

LOL, you can have 10 dragons sitting in your camp hitting revenge for hours or you can just train up barch and raid your DE back in 15min. Wonder which one is more productive to your own advancement in this game :rolleyes:
