The Most Efficient Farming In Today's Circumstances

Hi All,

A lot of you may have noticed after the update, a decrease in the amount of loot gained from attacks and the huge amounts of time and resources spent on finding a good base to attack. Give your best suggestions on a workaround for the current situation, if possible at all, in order to manipulate the system and use it to facilitate the accumulation of resources for future upgrades. I don't know why dead bases disappeared, maybe it is too soon after the update, but there has got to be a way to earn more loot than the amount you loose to train an army or defend an attack agains you. Lets share ideas and experiences and elaborate on this matter.

You should've worded the thread to a question as I clicked on this thinking you have a strategy to share with everyone to farm efficiently, anyways; Gibarch is the best way to go right now in my opinion. Trains fast and can hit storage bases and collector bases (if you find one). That's what I have been doing and my gold and dark elixir gain is a bit smaller then it was before the update, but now it seems as if it takes me forever to accumulate some elixir.

Agree that gibarch seems best atm...elixir is virtually impossible to farm in significant quantity!

Farming is more divided now... each base protects differently

Low trophies 0-200 gi+goblins+wb jumps and heals = insane loot but takes practice getting used to.. Recommended for th9+

gold-crystal gibarch any th level, i suggest heals only maybe 1 jump spell

crystal + is really for farming dark elixir but there are tons of bases over 500k each for loot... so if you want to waste the time building all spells and troops, use a gowi variation to practice for war and dig deep into bases.

I've personally been using barch from gold to c3 and have had no problem farming.. i have a lvl 26 queen though so i can sneak off a lot of th's with little effort. Othertimes its people using collectors to try and get a shield from it.

Also, understand how the armies apply in farming is smart..

E.g. cheap elixir armies (barch / gibarch / etc) are best for elixir farming..
Expensive elixir armies are best for dark elixir farming (gi healers wiz wb)
and expensive dark armies are best for farming gold (gowipe, qlav, hogs, etc)

gl best wishes.. just my thoughts, others might vary

I'm a th10. I've struggled for since the update to figure out how to farm, and I think I've finally nailed it. Unfortunately, I'm not looking forward to having to gem the rest of my archer queen time:

1 Barracks: 2 Healers, rest barbs.
1 Barracks: 1 Healer, 2 wallbreakers, rest archers.
1 Barracks: 1 Healer, 2 wallbreakers, rest archers
1 Barracks: 1 Healer, rest barbs.

I carry 4 earthquakes, 1 freeze, 1 rage, 1 poison.

I'm packing a level 32 queen and level 11 barb king.

Objective: Find th9 bases, (almost regardless of loot), largely ignore th10 bases or 11 unless they are weak, or fat, or provide you a clear path with a bad layout.

I generally don't have to use spells, and I'm able to do a queen walk with a mix of barch to get 60-70% near every raid + whatever loot they have. I'm hoping I can continue this in champions. Even getting 50% base destruction and only 80% of the league bonus with pure barch is effective. Granted, this strategy is for those who are able to attack once an hour or when their army is ready. I will boost my archer queen from time to time based on if she was taken out or not, which still happens as I'm practicing this.

If they're making it more difficult to farm they should adjust the upgrade costs of buildings / walls. It's unfairly weighted towards people who are further along in the game.
