How to get DE?

[Stitch]

But i need gold & elixir too, i am about to get th8 in some hours, and there are many things to upgrade :S

Ha, then the only solution to your problem is to buy gems and then buy the resources.

90% of people with DE available are active players with tough bases. You're not getting both regularly in big numbers, either one or the other I'm afraid.

Just be patient and start collecting DE after a few weeks at TH8.

Oh theres another way that may lose you some gold but yes it's lightning spells go drop sub 200 and lightning revenge those people for the de they deserved it...

That's exactly what I did!

Hmm, k ;D

Why on sub200? i can revenge on 1500 too

[Ornulf]

Hmm. Do what I did. 20 bucks of gems and buy whatever you need

20 bucks? Duh, to lvl 10 you need 313000 dark elix. Buying it outright (not enough storage for tat, but simpler to calculate) is 9100 gems. That lands you at 70 bucks just or the dark elix.

-ok

Well said. Heroes, in my opinion, should be secondary till your strong enough to "farm" in 2000 ++ trophy range. Just be happy with the dark elix you get and upgrade king when you can.

-ok

A lot of high townhall people drop troops on you so you have a lot more options. I don't know about you, but I don't get attacked 20 times each night in the 1500s.
Plus, you can raid in sub200 too!

Get the de drill to lvl3 asap

Yep...im a bit lazy to be sub 200 but still am and even at my lazy pace im still making a considerable amount but im not going for de since i just got my barbie king....im not gonna upgrade it yet...

Use a bunch of giants and wallbreakers, only tip I have for you

As for the trophies, the higher you go, more dark elixir there is.

[FlyingPekka]

Oh lol haha
But most of the 400-1500 amount of the DE is on town halls 8-10, and that's will be hard, isn't it?
Will the barb arch combo is better then giants healer? Or not? The massive dragon is expensive and I will need elixir

At 1700-1900 quite a lot TH 9 and 10 will places their DE only protected by one layer of walls. There are a lot of TH 10 with exposed 2500-5000 DE (for TH 7 that is). Those are the one you should aim for. If you can break in a TH 10 DE storage with normal farming army then go with it. If you can't use giant healer.

You should probably go with a few minion (to distract AD) and 2 healer. As one healer will die too quickly to an AD. If there is no AD protecting the DE storage just use ine healer and no need for minion. Also, minion are cheap. They cost like one-twenty of your raid. As you will get thousand DE every raid here. Also healer giant do work against 4 AD. Since all you want to get is the DE. And most exposed DE is only protected by 1 AD.

Good de loot is basically simple to find.
a higher you go in the cups the more de you will find.
only problem is that the bases are becoming stronger to.
id suggest if de is the only thing on your mind, go up to 2200 and on the way down pick as much as de you can.
i did it when I was trophy pushing and i mAnaged to get around 20-30k de in few hours

To farm DE consistently it will be hard using that strategy. As you will have to climb again after you fall. 1700-1900 is much more effective .

Actually 1200-1300 cups, i am very lucky today although on the last hour i didnt got any good base lol xD I will go up to 700

But he used level 6 troops, i got only 4 :S

If you are just aiming for exposed DE level 4 troop would suffice. Unity purposely chooses hard bases for demonstration. Not to mention he ussually get like 70-80%. You don't even have to get 20%. As long as you get the DE.

But i need gold & elixir too, i am about to get th8 in some hours, and there are many things to upgrade :S

If you aim for all resources you will need to use unity army with at least level 5 troops. And aim for vault base. The only thing a TH 7 can do to farm all resources is to stay at farming range. And hope for lucky DE raid.

Once you go to TH 8 though. You will be able to keep upgrading hero, building and lab simuntaneously.
