I was doing that too.. Then I realized gibarch in crystal-champ is much better loot. Sure, I attack once every 45 mins instead of once every 20, but I can penetrate the base, steal 350k/350k/4k loot plus I get a decent loot bonus on top of it. I was on the "loot sucks" bandwagon until I moved up. Now I have heroes upgrading consistently and some expensive upgrades in process (wiz tower to 9, Xbows upgrading etc.) and all 5 builders are working.
Nice, I would prepare a similar army if I was in Titan. Gibarch works great for where I've been hovering (crystal 1-Champ 3)
