Hey guys I was wondering if you guys some good strategies to farm dark elixir.i have everything maxed except for dark elixir troops, king, and walls. (they are level 7) king is level 8 and my minions are maxed, hogs are three, valks are one(I plan on skipping them) and golems are one.
Other than coining and using gems to get them, you could, I suppose, attack people and take their Dark Elixir?
I was actually asking for attack strategies. I see you are new to forums smart***Quote:

I'd keep skipping through until I find some decent loot and then drop spells and dragons. They seem to be really OP at the moment. lolQuote:

Your main thing is all about getting to where the Dark elixir is, and this army is great for breaking into the middle of it, if you use it correctly, (which you can look up). Other methods include Barch, BAM, Balloonian, all great strategies for getting Dark Elixir, especially if you can attack more often. I even made enough to upgrade Golems. And make a base for farming... Let your shields go for the most part all the way through, and try not to use Golems for getting Dark Elixir. Do not worry about winning so much either, your main thing is dark elixir. Also, hit the next button plenty of times till you find a base you know you can hit and get what you need. No point in using GiWiPe on a base where you will only get 300-800 Dark Elixir...
I am a town hall 8 but my dark troops are not as high lvl. I'm in silver one currently. I've been using a healer,5 Giants,8 wall breakers,26 goblins, and a bit over 50 arch and barbs to get dark elixer and it has been working good. For spells I use 3 lightning in case troops fail. It is also pretty quick to train troops wise.Quote:

The spells? 2 rage and 1 heal is perfect, but trust me, once you get the hang of balloonian, 1 rage spell is all you need! Good luck!
Giants
Archers
Goblins
WBs
You're welcome.
Oh, and that works at th9 and th10, too.
So get used to it ahhaha
Gibarch! One easy way to loot 'em awl! It's cheap, effective & takes about 24 mins to train. I've looted a lot of Th7/8s for DE as a Th8 with this army. Ended up with 6-7k De at the end of the day [I don't attack more than 10 time a day]
Use Giant, wizard, goblin, wb and Archer. It will take a about 40 minutes to cook. Look for max th7 or mid th8 bases with full DE storage. The plus point of this army is that it hardly fails and 3 star is almost guaranteed against th 7.
But if u r exclusively looking for DE and don't mind loosing trophies then barb, giant, Archer, wb, goblin and bk. Archers, barbs are great for raiding drills( the most efficient way of raiding DE in low league)
Plain GiBarch. 10 Giants 8/10 WBs Rest Barch. Remember, your Barbs and your BK is the main drill of this strat, funnel him into the core, and then wreck it with Iron Fist.
If you find the count at 209 You can remove a giant and two wall breakers. It is weird, because I have 200 and have been using the army, with not having to discard any of that. As you can see, everyone here uses different strategies, regardless of what Strategy you use, you will have to work on using it, and learning the Tactics (Like where and when to place Pekka or how to lure troops out of CC).
