Is Dark Elixir Worth Trophies?

I will always snipe the TH and zap the DE if there's enough of it. I haven't had a noticeable problem with getting revenged as a result.

Zapping is zapping whether or not you take the th but that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't do it.

The only time zappers bug me is when they zap and leave my untrapped fully exposed th untouched. If your going to zap at least have the decency to shield them (unless they trap).

As for finding de plenty in gold I think going to crystal or higher isn't really worth it as a th7. Take the drills, take storages if they are easy (some are) and don't be afraid to lose trophies because of it.

It's easy to get the BK in a week. Just upgrade your Drill to at least level 2 & Barch in Gold 3. You will make easy DE there. If barch doesn't work, try adding some Giants+wall breakers & it'll work fine.

On my Alt, I realized how easy it is to get the BK in such a few days because of the drill. Before the drill, it was hard since your Lvl 3 drill can give you 1080 DE per day & lvl 2 gives 720 DE per day.

Apart from that, if you're in a good Clan, you can get around 1k DE per war as well [Provided you yourself are a good player too]

Should I BARCH my way to C3?

When I was at TH7, I used the BArch strategy to get to a higher league to attack drills. All archers also works. Snipe Town halls to get trophies and attack drills when you find them.

You should be good just zapping and doing your regular barch(1 on barb 3 on arch seems to work best for me) in low-mid gold. most people keep there drills outside with there collector's. I got my BK to level 5 and my minion's researched in just over a week zapping and hitting full drill's. Every once and a while you will see a max drill full which is around 1k de each( it's gold with spikes on the bases ). But my zapping was boosted with a one gem boost on Halloween.

Thanks for all the tips but the problem is BARCH doesn't work for me.Tried it long ago and tried it again just now

Yesterday I built my DE Storage. Got 2000 DE yesterday and already got 1000 DE today.Good?

The higher your league the easier DE is to find, imo.
So losing trophies will only force you to gain them right back to stay in higher leagues.

Gold 2 - Crystal 2 is where I fluctuate around.

Full drills are better because you can raid a higher percentage from them.

"Next" is your friend! Just keep hitting next until you find either easy DE (barch / gobs / zap) or an exposed th to snipe. The lower in trophies you are though the harder I would say it is to find decent DE. Back in the day I think I stayed around 1600-1800 trophies and found plenty of DE for the BK. Good luck!
