I used to be nearly maxed th9 when I went to th10. Only rushed my heroes at level25. I managed to built level2 infernos, level4 xbows and the rest of the defenses are th9 ones. I have Giants level7, freeze level3 and wizards level6. The rest are maxed th9 troops.
I used to attack th9 players and get decent loot out of my attacks. When the new hero came out for the first time I thought of rushing to get the GW as he would help my even more on gaining resources by th9 bases. So I did. Once I got to th11, big mistake, the system would not show me anymore th9 bases. And even if I would see one every 30, it had not loot. (The penalty I quess).
I have tried to drop down from 3000 trophies to 1200 trophies. Still only th10 opponents. I was losing elixir and dark elixir cause I needed to spend a lot on spells, freeze to compensate for the opponents infernos. I would only manage to get 2 out of 5 storages most of the time. The elixir was going down slowly so I changed my army composition to use more dark elixir. Still the same results. I even changed to earthquakes, no luck on my elixir.
I don't know what to do now. I am hoping that somehow I can make the GW turn to level5 and thus with its ability things might be better. But still I cannot increase my elixir resources. So I looked at a few numbers and I realized that it's better not to attack at this moment when there is a 1 gem boost. I make more by waiting rather by attacking.
i would appreciate it if anyone in the same bad state as I am can offer me an advise. Others that have made the same mistake as I have and found a solution around this, please advise a fellow clasher.
