So I'm a week away from maxing out my TH6 base and I'm wondering whether it would be possible for me to get the Barbarian King without the drill and just by looting? If so do give me some strategies and tips as well on how to accomplish it. Thanks in advance.
YOu get the drill at town hall 8Quote:

U can get the res u need from raiding alone. just raise ur tropies up to about 1300 or so and go heavy on the goblins :) unprotected drills are a good source of dlix.
I'm now at TH 7, and I already got my Barb King. Try to upgrade the Dark elixer storage to level 2 and start looting Dark elixir.Quote:

I upgraded my barracks to level 9 and use dragon attack on TH 9 and 10 to loot DE. Sometimes can get 1000-1800 DE if lucky.
hope this help
Or raise them higher and try the lightning spell approach, see full dark elixer storage and drop all your lightning spells, you get the dark elixer, they either surrender or continue the fight.Quote:

very possible and quite easy. Just raise trophies to 1500+ and you can raid normally and collect a good amount of DE. Try not to use any spells when you raid. Then when you come across a TH9 or 10 base with 2000+ DE, just triple lightning spell their DE storage, you should come away with 1000+ DE. But don't attack them with the rest of your troops, save your troops for another fight, unless you think you can reach their DE storage just by raiding normally.
If that is the case, then try to raid them FIRST before using your lightning spells. If you do reach the DE storage, GREAT! You saved your lightning spells for another base :)
Like someone else said, upgrade your DE storage to lvl 2 as soon as you can, so that people who try to use lightning spells on your DE storage can't steal as much.
Oh yea, I'm a maxed lvl 65 TH7, I got my BK to lvl 5 when I was around lvl 55.
yes i got him to lvl 5
Farm DE. :3
It is certainly possible to get BK at TH7 by either raising trophies and raiding for it or by lightning.
The tip I would give is to use your lightning on revenges. When I need to get some DE quickly, I'll walk through my revenge list looking for players who are attackable and have a decent amount of DE to get. You can recon them if you want by viewing their base to be sure where the DE is located, but I typically just lightning away when I find someone with 1k+ DE available.
Since I do this from my revenge list, I do not have to worry about being revenged by these people.
I'm almost there.Quote:

I did it with lightning spells because you need it to finish sherbet towers in single player. However, looking back, my development was somewhat delayed. If I had ignored sherbet towers and just went for TH8, I could have finished it very easily with Pekka.
On defense, the BK is next to hopeless. He can't attack air troops and he is easily killed by just about anything. About the only thing he's good for is giants, as even goblins will outrun him.
Imho, looking back, if I had ignored the BK during th7, I would have gone to th8 maybe 2 weeks earlier.
I had BK level 2, and minions level 2, at th7.
Sure it's possible. I had a Lv4 BK and Lv2 minions by the time I moved on to TH8. And...I only used lightning twice to get the DE. The rest was gotten by actually fighting for it. But that's just me...
As others have said it's relatively easy - but better to do it once you've upgraded a fair bit of your hall.
Once I had all my barracks producing dragons at level 2 it was very easy. Get your cups over 1,500 and swoop any bases with poor air defenses - there are quite a lot of them.
I took at least 6 dragons per raid, sometimes 8, supported with minions, archers and bk if necessary.
Lightning is also an option, but I used that much less then I did dragon raids + archers/minions. Lightning is also more likely to attract a nasty revenge.
My king is lv 5 and my minions/hoggies are level 2 - maxed for TH7.
Let me tell you a really easy way. Mine is level 5 and I have almost 11k dark elixir right now. My name is Alex ForTheWin and I am in the clan bandits if you wanna see it. I lightning spell with 1-3 level 4 spells (less than 3 if I don't have them ready) if they have at least 800 available. I will also send in dragons to get the dark elixir if they have low air defenses. I am currently just about 1300 trophies, but you can find it at 1200. I hope I helped and good luck!!
Thats the best answer i can give. In the sub-1000 trophy area they are a lot of th 10 or 9 users with very low lvl defences because they used rea money to upgrade their th. It might be rare but you might get lucky. I fought one and got 4012 DE. Then you go trophy hunting to ur original position and raid DE as normal. Used this plan and got my BK in 2 days!
I'm town hall 7 with a level 5 king
