i've learned how to adapt
DE is insanely abundant right now, and elixir is scarce. What this means is that upgrading heroes is extremely easy, while anything else is difficult. Add on top that farming in the new world w/o heroes is a nightmare.
I've never been a fan of war farmers, as I've always felt loot was way too easy to resort to such silly tactics, but it makes total sense now. Farm your DE in this new world, drop your heroes to sleep and join a war farming clan. So even with heroes down, you should be able to barch a th10 for 600-600-2500 each war while heroes are down.
I do realize this isnt a "new concept", but everyone has told me to adapt, so i'm adapting.
