Increase Dark Elixir loot in Wars

For a long time now, players have felt that Gold & Elixir rewards in Clan Wars are satisfactory, but the Dark Elixir returns are light on.

Use two Dark Elixir based armies, donate dark troops and you will never make a Dark Elixir profit in war, in fact quite a big loss - and that is when you win.

Now with Dark Elixir spells - which are a great addition I might add. The Dark Elixir cost in war just become even greater.

Please increase the Dark Elixir bonus in wars. As a TH10 I'm losing copious amounts of DE just participating in war, and that is with a clan who recently won 9 in a row.

I don't expect to make huge profits, but should be at least be able to break even by winning.

Example below.

My last attack in Clan War: I used a GoWiPe army featuring 4 Golems. The loot reward for the attack was as follows:

607,200 Gold
607,200 Elixir
2,904 Dark Elixir

Each max Golem costs 750 DE, that totals 3,000 Dark Elixir for the Golems alone.

IF I win that battle AND my clan wins the war I STILL end up with a dark elixir loss on the Golems alone. Turn that into a GoWiWi or GoHoWiPe the cost is even greater.

That does not consider the Dark Elixir costs of donating Dark Elixir troops to defensive & offensive war castles; nor the costs of the new Dark Elixir spells which is making the expense bill even more exorbitant.

The formula appears to be about 48% / 100 of the gold or elixir return.

Clearly that needs to be more in the range of 75% / 100 of the gold or elixir return.

1000% AGREE! EVEN USING JUST 15 MINIONS PER ATTACK AND DONATING CC MINIONS I CAN NOT BREAK EVEN ON MY DE! EVEN ATTACKING TH9S (rushed) I CAN BARELY BREAK EVEN, AND THE DARK SPELLS WON'T HELP THIS ISSUE EITHER!

Yes DE is way too low especially with the new spells out.

Yes! Currently if you win against a well upgraded th8 you get about 1.5k. That is not enough to pay for those hog riders!

I agree for TH9 and TH10... plus we'll be using dark spells too... I think lower leagues should have a DE loot bonus as well and have an increase in dark elixir going up the chain.

Yeahh I also agree!

Yes

As I'm currently using roughly 3K DE per attack I agree that I should earn more than 3K as war loot.

I'd like to see in general, a bonus for 3*s. Nothing major, just a small bonus on top for the third star per attack

Wars aren't for loot so they really don't need to increase it, they could increase it a little because of the DE spells but that's it. You aren't suppose to break even on DE or elixir.

My point is, if you win both your attacks & your clan wins you shouldn't be losing thousands of Dark Elixir in the process.

Clearly the loot rewards are insufficient, as I said I don't expect to make profits in war. But to lose many thousands of Dark Elixir every single war which is a complete success [I win both attacks on high opponents & clan wins]...is a complete joke.
