Master League DE Farming [TH9]

So I recently decided to move up from low Crystal 1 to Master since I heard of all the DE. I saw a clanmate posting lots of replays of great DE, so I decided to give it a go.

I gave up at around 2600 on my second day.

DE wasn't that great, but I know being right on the borderline doesn't make a difference. But I don't wanna purely push my way up to Master 2 for DE, I still wanna get some DE while I'm at it, so I wanted to farm my way up.

I hear all these people finding good and easy DE bases to barch and all, but I don't get it. I'm just at the borderline and I'm failing to get 50% or TH and DE with GiBAG. I don't understand how they do this, I feel like I never find bases like this. And they make it seem so easy as if they find it all the time.

One problem is that I have both heroes upgrading. I was able to farm a bit extra, so I put my king down for a week, but usually I have him (he'll be at lvl 26 when I get him back). I think that makes a big difference but I honestly don't know where I'm going wrong. Is it that barch can actually do things that GiBAG couldn't? I used to use barch until I started DE farming, and I've seen this do what I never could've done with barch.

I didn't wanna lose trophies, but I still was. I had to next a lot so I could find a base that I could win the battle and get DE. And that resulted in a lot of searching.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, but for now I'm dropping back down to 2400-2450 for DE where I feel comfortable. I'll try to move back up when I get my king back and recover from a horrible first experience (:smirk:).

Any help? What am I doing wrong? Should I not drop down and keep on trying? Thanks.

What are you doing...

Any help...

Can anybody help?

I'm farming M3 using Barch aiming for 50% to collect the loot bonus.
I farmed 4 lava walls and 40,000 DE today during 2 boot sessions.

Barching in Master's is all about choosing the right bases to attack.
I look for the following:

• Plenty of buildings on the outside including Barracks, Pumps, Huts, SF, Lab, and any other exposed buildings. You should typically be able to get ~40% just from the buildings listed above.
• WT and/or Mortars located towards the middle of the base helps a lot. I usually don't touch bases with WT on the edge of the base.
• Square shaped bases are the easiest to Barch as you can attack a side at a time

I'm pretty tired as I haven't slept yet and may be forgetting something, but those are some things that I look for.

Some other tips:

• 3 Barracks loaded with Archers and 1 with Barbs. You should end up with 60-70 Barbs and the rest Archers.
• Use Lightning spells when you need a few % points. Hero alters and huts get destroyed with 1 level 5 spell.
• Save your heroes. The whole point of Barching is for the speed it allows. There's no point in killing your AQ to grab 5,000 more gold. I only deploy my heroes when I need to hit 50% and almost always leave right after I hit the threshold
• Check the CC and scout for GBs with Barbs. Where applicable. Usually if 1 GB is outside, all of them are.

I don't know how much of this you didn't already know, but Barch should be fairly simple. You just have to train your eyes to spot the easy target bases.

Good luck!

Everything he says is good. About saving your heroes: try to figure out early when you will not hit 50% so you can drop your heroes to help while defenses are still targeting your barch. Your heroes will help push you over the 50% mark before defenses finish killing the barch and start hammering the heroes (ideally).

Thanks guys, this helps, but I still have the hero problem. I don't have my queen and won't always have my king (if needs to regenerate, or is upgrading). What types of bases dyou guys look for, always drill raids? And will I be fine even if I don't have a queen? Thanks though, this helps a lot!

Anyone else?

I've been using the following army comp with solid success in M3:

4 healers
16 giants
8 wizards
40 archers
12 goblins

2 rage
1 heal
1 lighting
use spells as needed

The basic of the attack is to make sure all 4 healers are focused on giants. Essentially your giants become a pack of indestructible tanks. Follow with dps then gobs and heros if available.

I love loonion but in comparison this is equally effective with less training time and zero DE cost.

Thanks, but how much DE do you look for and usually get?

To get the DE in M3, I use loonion. 24 loons and 50 minions. 3 rage spells and 1 lightning. I do booze 4 rax, 1 DE rack, both heroes (although one would suffice) and spell factory. I go for bases that I can get 1500+ DE a raid and heroes are for 50%. The M3 bonus pays for the army and the minions so anything you get is bonus.


I've honestly never found barch to be effective in M3, too much searching. But if you learn to use loonion and only us 1 rage per raid you'll be raking in the DE very quick.
