The update regarding dark troop usage now

this update won't change my farming at all. i'm mid-TH8 farming in gold3. i doubt i move away from BARCH + a few WB and giants unless the changes to the archer tower make BARCH obsolete. any DE will be put into upgrading my hero or other troops. none will be used in raids.

Plus for those who actually took the time to farm for the upgrades for minions and hogs and for BK, it's not fair. I spent so many wars attacking bases I had little chance of getting three stars on (got some two stars though) for DE. Then going up to Crystal and losing so much gold and elixir, but saving my DE and saving that 20k DE (which in retrospect, I should've spent on my BK), all for it to go to waste, because now TH7 get dark drills. Wonderful.

Oh cry me a river! lol, is there anyone who doesn't complain on these forums?


I'll definitely be skewing more towards BAM with a DE drill, might try out Hog Riders but I think it'll be too expensive. U won't see too many full Hog raids, they'd go after collectors/storage last wouldn't they? Might work well with Gobbys

Indeed. haha!

Lack of heal spell and low level hogs. ^^

It's not like there is going to be a surplus of DE. Th7 and TH8 are going to get an extra 45 DE per hour (assuming they max their drills, which a lot of players never do).

Most of what they get is going to go directly into BK or research.

The likely result is that you'll see more TH7 with level 5 BK and more TH8 getting their BK to 10. Also you'll likely see more TH8 getting minions to 3 or 4.

What you will not see, is an abundance of TH8 farming with hogs or golems. It just ain't going to happen.

Th7s have heal spell. But yes I agree there won't be a bunch of th7s runnin round hog attacking. The OP is on something perhaps.

I totally agree. Most Th7's are going to want to get their Barb King, but I disagree how people will not be farming with hogs often. I as a Town hall 7 found dark elixir difficult to get, but now at Th8 with the drill it is much easier. The second drill will only make it easier. One thing that should have been added was a new DE drill level for Th8.

hogs are not that good now days any ways since the last update ... be nice if it was ...
