How I keep my loot and still TH snipe
Hey guys, I know y'all have been complaining about how no one can keep their loot because it's always stolen. I've given this some thought and tried a new strategy, and it's really working out for me. BTW, I'm a fully maxed Town Hall 8 (2 days into my upgrade to TH9), so idk if it will work for any other Town Halls or not.
I usually stayed in Gold II or Gold III and barched or arched or used giants to get my loot and keep my Town Hall outside. Since the update, I've had to change my strategy. First, my base design went from a TH sniped one to one where I have basically a box, with a reinforced top and open bottom. I have my gold storages at the bottom and Town Hall, Dark Elixir, and Elixir in the middle. I have traps and splash defenses down at the bottom right behind my gold storages. The reason behind this is people will see an opening in my wall and gold storages relatively close to the bottom, so they'll hit it hoping to get the loot. Depending on their army and deployment, sometimes my splash damage destroys all their archers or barbs and I get a shield without losing trophies, sometimes I lose gold and nothing else because my defenses take out everything of theirs before they can reach the important stuff. Either way, it's my way of losing as little loot as possible along with getting a shield. You also need to accept the fact that you will lose loot sometimes, there's no strategy that can cause you not to do that.
As for my league, I dropped down to Silver III, and for a couple of reasons. First, there are people that have a lot less leveled troops, so the Town Hall 6s and 7s are likely to go for the open loot and fail, giving me a shield. It ensures I keep more loot. Second, I find quite a few bases with around 200 to 300k of each resource to steal with simply giant armies (20 giants, 52 arch, 8 wallbreakers, 32 barbs, all heals and any troops in CC). The last reason is because about every other "next", I find someone with their Town Hall outside. Why do they have them outside? Not sure, but they do. Since the TH also serves as a storage, I can hit one usually from anywhere to 5k to 50k per raid. Now, you may think that that's not a lot, but I can attack quite a few times per minute, and after about 15 minutes, I can get up to 200k to 400k of each and somewhere around 1 or 2k Dark Elixir.
So my attacking strategy is to first hit a high-level loot base with my giant army, then take my Barb King and hit Town Halls until my troops are ready again.
Now, I'm fully maxed, so I have like 73k Dark Elixir and pretty much maxed Gold and Elixir Storages. Per raid, I lose about 200k gold, and rarely 2k Dark Elixir or Elixir. Now, 1 giant raid and 15 minutes of Town Hall hits will give me that much loot plus more. It doesn't require you to be online a lot (I'm busy with school, so I usually have to wait 10 hours, or until my shield ends before I attack), and it allows you to get your loot back plus more. Just wait until your shield is over, 15 minutes, and you repeat the cycle. Pretty easy.
Y'all can take what you want from it, just wanna put that out there.
