Help: Optimal Progression Rate

The help I need:
Hello guys. I started another base and it has reached TH10. I was wondering what method do you use in order to progress your base at the fastest rate? I feel that in order to progress the fastest, all 5 of my builders should be doing something at all times. So what do you do in order to keep all your builders busy? Are you able to upgrade troops and spells in your labs without interruption as well?

My attempts so far:
I am currently in Crystal III and control my cups at the 2000-2050 range. I tried building barchers and attacking efficiently, but it seems so slow for the amount of time I take. I tried heavier troops like gibarch and it allows me to reach the DE collector everytime I attack, but the elixir cost is so heavy! I am thinking now about moving to the highest league I possibly can... like Master I and try to attack max bases with full collectors try to 1-star/2-star them, but that will be a long journey.

In the past, my strategy to gather resources was to TH snipe while my troops built up and then when I had a full army, I would do a true attack. I had a net influx of g/e/de at a rate of 700k/700k/4k per hour, respectively. At this rate, I was barely able to keeping all 5 of my builders busy.

Please help me and others like me by offering ideas, no matter how hard they may be to pull off (skilled attackers should be rewarded, right?) so that we can continue our journey to maxing out. Thanks!

I am in same situation as you but I'm 2 months or so progressed into th10. Currently, I'm taking advantage of good de I'm getting and using 2 builders on them. Whatever gold I have I'm upgrading them immediately before I get rolled over by Max th10 or th11. The problem for you now is that you need elixir to get your camps going and right now it's a struggle it was already difficulty pre-update. Now it's 10x harder. The best bet is using dark troops until your elixir upgrade are done. That extra 20 space and de drill is difference maker at th10. Hopefully this helps.

I am having the same problem can find gold and de post update but can't gain exilir. new th10 lvl 25 Heros. Attacks without heroes are useless. 3 days of 20+ Per day attacks a day using gaint healer archer raids and literally only gain 1 mil in elixir. Don't want to use dark troops because still want heros to progress, and if I use my war attack with 5 spells and here's can two star most th10s but will lose de like crazy not to mention takes forever btwn attacks. Btw pre updated would have been at least 4-5 mil exilir by now. Please advice what am I doing wrong. Was is master II PRE update but I was getting smoked up there post update. I was max th9 with all lvl9 walls before moving to th10 and have lvl 1 infernos and 3-lvl 3 xbow bows, all troops maxed for th9 just finished lvl 4 pekkas. PLEASE HELP, GETTING VERY VERY FRUSTRATED. Thanks

Consider experimenting with your base layout.

Make it takes up 30% destruction.

Focus at one or two resources at a time.

Always be researching something. Masters and above is where you'll need to be. Im a new th10 and have been in mastsers 3 and 2 since becoming th10 and use mainly gowipe or go ape and I spend a lot f dark to save gold for new def upgrades and elixir for new troops upgrades. I've had 4 builders busy and lab busy since and continue to build hold and elixir through loot bonus and using EQ instead of jump. I've held off on dark spells after a couple levels but not worrying about max dark spells. If you use 4 EQ instead of a jump and/or wbs with rage, you'll save on elixir. To keep builders busy I think saving for the longest upgrades with2-3 builders then keep 1-2 for shorter upgrades. Using 2 builders on defense at all times. Best way is to have your base design to protect either gold or elixir. With new update th holding more resources protect that but not as much as you should protect whichever resource you need the most or want the most, DE storage. Cc not being centered isn't that big a deal with everyone having the ability to have a poison in their cc. I find an army such as: 1 golem(or golem in cc) 4-8 healers( for golem, giants or heroes) when using 8 it's possible to save 1-2 and maybe deploy late to save or help increase hero health to slow down heal time. A few wbs, (or EQ) 6-8 wiz for funnel, 8-12 giants( if golem in cc 16 giants) and some minions or arch or gobs for picking. But there's a cheaper army to use depending on hero level.

Since the update, I've noticed elixir going standstill with terrible progression there.
I think you might be on to something here, going de heavy to conserve elixir.

What's your current gowipe/go ape composition for hourly farming ?

In your notes above, you don't mention the pekka anywhere :)

1 golem, 4-8 healers, 8-12 giants, 6-8 wizards, some minions/arch/gobs

What would you use for the cheaper army ? heroes 20/20 enough ? 25/25 ? 30/30 ?

Gowipe I use either 3 pekkas 1 golem, cc= golem or pekka 14ish wiz 3-4 wbs couple random troops for picking
govape I use 1/2 golems 6 valks 2 pekkas cc=golem or pekka/giant can alter to bring a couple healers and not use any heal spells.
If you have 20/20 heroes def use healers to save DE
for a cheaper army to farm elixir for higher lvl heroes, 20 mins 4 healer 1-2 golem(either in cc or army camp) and 13 or so Giants, drop minions and replace with gobs, barbs arch if you need to create funnel, sending minions basically last but in time to get possible air mines
mainly any alterations would be made based on league lvl I guess. Hope that answered your question ha I feel like that makes no sense.

Given that we don't get attacked so much now, using longer builds is fine, as there is no shields anyway.
Hmmmm, so with 20/20 heroes, i'll give the healer one a try and see how it goes, but since i have maxed valk which I haven't farmed with before, might give that a whirl too :)


golem giants healers, eq spells, still lacks the means for loot grabbing and ranged dps.

so lets say

1 golem 30
4 healers 56
13 giants 65
4 wb 8
20 minions 40
21 gob/barch 21
----------------------
220 + something in cc (golem giants, healers, pekkas, whatever then)

Cheap elixir build, without much hero damage hopefully , but golem still takes 45 mins hmmmm.

or could use cc golem, and always have golems building in the background ...

BTW: Went to see your base. You really need to get those army camps up !! and I still recommend getting the infernoes to minimise attacks on you. Although once you put them down, your war matchup will be ruined for a long time :/ I'm sitting out of wars for the past 2+ weeks and foresee at least many more weeks before it's worthwhile. Currently, I am a war liability

I agree the economy of the game has become horrible. Match making has become so unfair, I have to hit the next button over 100 times just to find a raidable base. Any elixir that I do manage to find is spent making the army for the next raid. Then when my shield is gone, I get raided by some maxed out th10 and they take even more. Since the update my resources have been at a stand still. I've been playing for almost 2 years, but if the farming situation doesn't improve soon I'll probably uninstall the game. This game has always been fun, but lately it's turning into a big waste of time. There's no point in playing if I'm not going to make any progress
