Purpose of attacks with only 1 unit?

I am by no means a star player in Clash of Clans, but I really enjoy playing the game. I don't always understand all of the complex strategy discussions. Recently I have been attacked again and again with 1 or 2 troops. I am a premature TH9 who cancelled a TH10 upgrade because I realized I could not defend against higher level, more serious players. I have faired decently considering my premature TH. My trophy count keeps getting higher and higher due to the attacks, I have been driven all the way to 1900 with defense primarily. Is this some type of strategy that I don't know about? I need less trophies in order to get bases that I would actually attack ;) Why are so many people attacking me with one unit? My base is not scary, so I know that isn't it. :confused:

I love this game! And reading all of the posts about strategies and helpful tips.

thanks guys! Take it easy on my base design and stuff, I'm getting there.

My clan is Wizards Empire , I'm gilded realm.

thanks for any constructive feedback and suggestions.

It's to drop trophy levels. There's a certain trophy range most people like to stay in for best loot.

I guess I need to take this same strategy to lower my trophies also. I am gaining all of those dropped trophies.

thanks guys!!!

its called farming. people drop trophies so they can prey off of the lower levels.

To lose trophies to get to a desired range

make sure to 4x all the DE storages

surprising that you do not know this as a th9.. you must be very premature, what are your wall levels, 2? 3?
no offense :)

Here is some additional information about why they are choosing YOU specifically.

They can drop 1 troop on any base to drop trophies, but they have purposely selected YOU as their target because based on the appearance of your base, they are assuming that you are not strong enough to attack them back with enough force to actually take much resources from them.

I do the same thing when dropping trophies.......... I will look for weak bases to drop a single troop hoping that they're not going to bother attempting a revenge attack.

Like someone else mentioned, check to see if they have a lot of dark elixir to take. If so, spam lightning on their DE storages, that will be pretty sweet revenge (if you can afford it) :)

not many people revenge people who are dropping trophies..
