Buying week long shields is more profitable than boosting elixir for th8 defenseless

Discovered something weird. Never realized this. i always boosted to save for donation troops.

Heres the math. For a th8 defenseless. If u got it to th10 it would be way better.

For 7 days. your collectors will get you 3.528 mill. For a 250 gem shield.
For a 420 gem boost of 7 days u will make 7.056 mill. minus 250k loss every 16 hours. if your attacker doesnt troll u and leave before 90%. (i know it is 300k possibly lootable for th8 im just doing 250 because for the first few days u wont be at the cap. if someone here knows how to use the right formula to get the gradual loss thing go ahead haha. im not a mathematician.) = 4.431 mill

i used to boost with my defenseless whenever i wanna up a donation troop. never even considered shields. (if this has been posted before pls link it :))

tldr: 250 gem shield will get a defenseless account 3.5 mill in 7 days. boosting for 420 gems will get u 4.4 mill. but u have to set an alarm every 16 hours. which is hard.

You have the cool down period on the shield.

Interesting for sure as you don't need much resources for a defenceless account. Having said that, it's quite costly in gems as you can't get that many gems a week from simply removing obstacles. I personally don't have a defenceless as I don't see the appeal but perhaps this would be useful to some.

people mainly focus their raiding on their main account. defenseless account really build up in gems. i had 700 last week. an some achievements can give u 1000 gems. we dont intend to buy shields every week. also theres a 35d cooldown so...

its a better way to spend gems. unless u wanna boost raiding. and thats only needed when u want th10 troops. cuz thats too costly.

If the attacker only drops a few troops, you won't get a shield, only a 15 minute village guard.

yah i know. kinda late to figure this out i guess. we are all gonna have to build lvl 1 defense. im looking forward to it actually

You are doing the math for not collecting every time you come on. If you boost your collectors and go offline, get a shield, come back on later, then collect everything, then people will not have a chance to steal a lot.

Walls are enough.. I have a defenseless with walls at level 7(minimum 2wb wall level)

They need more than half barch army to open walls and get cc, bk to get the de.. So depending on layout and cc.. It's possible to get shield if you build walls..

Also ya, I have been buying shield from th7-8 for 20k+ de upgrades. Easiest way to do it imo.. Level 4 hogs upgrade going on without ever raiding.. 2 level 3 drills. 2.2-2.5k de from war every 2 days

Edit: I have all traps for th8 and maxed them except small bombs. It helps to defend easily upto th6. Only th7+ gets 3. With added 30 seconds, that's going to change I guess in war

boosting barracks is cheaper actually, wheres the fun in tapping collectors for a week? thats stupid, cant believe ppl actually buy shields
