I just upgraded to th10 about a week before the update hit, before the update I had no trouble in find bases to raid and I could make a semi decent profit from raiding. But now all I seem to find is max th10s which I have no hope in taking as my troops and spells is only slightly better than th9 atm. So what armies are people using now to farm pink. (All my troops are th9 expect pekka and I have lvl 2 freeze spell, King is lvl15 and queen 12). Ty for any help
I was just about to post this... I am in the same position as you with the exception of stronger heroes and only lvl 1 freeze. Like you I can't touch th10s. I was in Master 3 for the loot bonus and had to attack with an army of 12-16 giants, 2 angels, 8-12 wizards and the rest goblins. I avoid using spells if possible. It wasn't profitable bc the only bases that had any loot were those th10s. I am dropping to Crystal 2 to hopefully find bases with loot that I don't have to spend 100k+ elixir to raid.
Have you seen any inactive bases since the update? I've only found one...
After the update I found nothing but loot but now it's ax th10s ans th11s that have the loot. I have been training a lavaloon but that takes 1.5k dark and 260k elixir and isnt worth it. If anyone has a more profitable strategy please tell me.
Just wanted to add that I tried gemming my barracks but that is a waste. If you roll with anything other than barchers it still takes 15 mins to form an army so you aren't going to attack more than 3 times in that hour (search time for a base eats into the time). Not to mention the elixir cost remains
I have been GiBarch-ing lately with a fair amount of success. Mind you I'm more mid-TH10. Sometimes takes awhile to find a base that has a decent return, won't nuke me, and hopefully has enough outer structures to where I can use a few initial archers to secure I get a star and thus loot bonus.
How does gibarch even work at th10, i gemmed my giants a few days ago and I have lost way more than I have gained trying to use it at th10. I had to go back to aq walking to gain anything.Quote:

But I did have some success with lavaloonian but a lot of the time my profit was 10-30k which isn't enough (was in master 3 when doing that, I've dropped to gold in the hope of finding slightly easier bases and have had mixed results. You have to be able to make a profit with the loot bonus and it barely even worth anything in gold.
Admittedly it's boring as hell. But I have been having success in silver and bronze leagues. All I do is boost barracks, make all goblins (only 100 elixir each) and hit collectors. It is really boring, but effective. In two days I've begun upgrading two army camps that are 6.75 million elixir. You get good gold this way, only thing you won't really get much of is dark elixir. It's the only thing that has worked since the update as a new th 10. Too expensive to go after th 10 and 11's.
I've been using Gibarch before the update and i can get decent loot and bonus at M3-M2. After the update i've been losing more using Gibarch so i decided to use heavy troops (Gowipe/Gowiwi). These are very expensive and time consuming troops. It's very good but i'm losing more on pink and gaining more on Gold/De. Then i saw the Lavaloon farming raids by J aka FCB on Youtube. Not that cheap than Gibarch but much cheaper and efficient than Gowipe/Gowiwi for me. I'm spending almost 210k Elixir/1.5k DE every raids but i'm gaining atleast 200k-300k Elixir/ 200k-300k Gold / 1.5k-3k DE every successful raid plus M3-M2 Bonus. This attack if executed right will get you from 50%-80% destruction. Not bad at all.. I just need to refine my strategy and i'm sure result would be much better.. I've been using this strategy for 3 days now. I'm very satisfied!
I've been pushing hard with Gowiwi to help gain elixir. I am but at a high de cost. But I'm trying to save elixir, can't gain all resources at same time like before. Have to go after one resource and try to get win for bonus. I'm in masters 2 almost 1 now. Trying to get to champs for better bonus. Plus I have never got to champs yet so I will get gem reward. I'm a th10 with max golems wiz and lv 2 witch. Lv 18 King and queen.
I queue each Barrack with 30 Archers, 11 Barbarians, 3 Giants, and 2 WB. Open to tinkering; my Giants are only level 6 and I don't have the best luck with WB. I queue the cheap guys first in the rare chance I find an abandoned base and Barch for free loot without throwing off my ratio. I hunt for a base with a couple Gold storages fairly close together and/or a TH on the outskirts. Release a couple giants to distract, bust in, unleash remaining Giants, Barbs, then Archer. Back up with Heroes. Have a Rage and/or Jump handy just in case. I'm currently in Masters III so as long as I get a star the loot bonus and whatever loot I pick up is a steady path.Quote:

If you still have wall upgrades make sure to use one resource at a time(i.e. right now I'm using my Gold to save Elixer for Laboratory upgrade). Particularly when you have a reason to keep your Gold low it makes you less of a target.
But, i need 3mil gold for spend some gold!Quote:

I've been using barbs, archers,wall breakers and minions, you don't win many raids but I can usually get round 100-150k of what ever resource I'm aiming for (gold/pink). Dark also alright if you look for fill drills or storages on the outer edges of the base.
