This.
Time is important factor. Somebody could reach max offense th11 with 100 heroes in 4 years and somebody in 1.5 year.
The game is not balance in th9. you have to do 50 level of heroes, so you should rush to th9 asap.
Currently only max offense is important in all aspect of the game:
- farming: you need max farming troops and you need to reach th11 asap to find dead th11 bases for maximum loot!!!!
- pushing: only max offense is important. they can at least 1* you even if you re max defense
- warring: only max offense. at this time max defense th11 has a huge negative impact.
I for one, see the error of my maxxxing ways. That said, I've enjoyed the game and I still do .. and I only play ONE village.
I'm following your "keep one hero upgrading" rule strictly and I will reach 40/40 well before the 20 week mark (no gems) .. after that, I'd be hard pressed not to simply move on to TH11 .. (lab and builders have been busy constantly until now, so no time has been wasted, at least.)

Its simple, I mostly farm collector raids, usually doing 10-15 raids per day and each base having around 600-800DE. 12*700 = 8400DE per day, almost enough to maintain DE requirements. When I want DE, I use a 20min army and cc bowlers to wreck TH8s for DE, at >1.6k DE per raid. Doing 4-5 raids like that means around 6-8k DE within a short timespan.
Of course this is fairly hardcore farming, but even with mild farming, one can keep AQ down and then do 1-2 elixir buildings with 2-3 cheap upgrades (by virtue of rushing, one can easily have many cheap upgrades leftover from previous non-maxed THs)
Yeap, offense is the most important thing in the game. I believe most players want to min-max and are taught the wrong way of doing it. If you want to min-max, offense is key and delay of doing into TH9/10 is highly detrimental to the player.
Yeap, glad you learned it. At least you have fun doing it, I've seen maxers finding the game boring and quit altogether because they wanted the "maxed" status and believing that not maxing will make them suffer when they upgrade. Maxing both heroes takes 227.5 * 2 = 455 days, the earlier you start the grind, the earlier it is done and over with.
Once you maxed heroes, its quite easy to go into TH11 and play casually to progress because everything takes far too long in terms of time. Defenses don't matter, but having maxed infernos, wt, xbows and tesla helps. Troops don't matter too much too, but having maxed barch and bowlers, miners help too.
Yeah, but they're not as plentiful as other dead bases (like TH9, for example). FWIW, I think these are players who either got bored, banned, grounded, or just stepped away for a few days (like a weekend in the mountains kinda thing - summer vacation, ya know). They're scattered throughout the leagues. Dusk or one of the others may be able to offer more insight on best places to catch them.

Usually C1-M2, they're dead TH10s or TH11s. I do feel TH10 has a slight edge in farming because you get TH9-11 dead bases (although TH9 dead bases aren't worth a lot) and no penalty against TH10 dead bases which are plentiful. But I do fully support that loot in TH11 is far superior compared to TH9

Check out today's posts to see how I farm DE and elixir at the same time. Good question by @CrazeeNub because I didn't realise that a ton of my elixir comes from players who don't know how to play better. A ton of TH8s have capped DE and overflowing elixir, allowing me to get >400k elixir from these players
Sin what I realised today is SC is indirectly kicking all the TH9 3 star attacks with defence buffs on xbows, wizard towers and now cannons nerfing healers and making TH9 more irrelevant to stay.
Upgrading to TH10 with a 9.5 is the best for warriors in the game.
What we really saying SC is on the same page they are doing it discretely and stealthily.
There tend to be semi-dead th11s in champs 1 and Titan 3 too, which you can find if you are in Titans 2 and 1 as well (as you are served lower THs anyways).
Semi-dead bases are the best because they often have full storage loot and near full collector loot. Around 1mil/1mil/9k with win bonus. I think alot of these are people who are away from the game for just a few days (2 days to a week sorta thing).
They have been a bit rarer the last 2 or 3 weeks, but they are still out there.
The nice thing about Titan farming is you can pretty much ignore losses, because a rushed base loses almost the same loot as a max base (high percent attacks are common even for 1 stars) AND you have so much time to do attacks that you can farm alot of loot at a relaxed pace.
However, the style of farming means it's best if you can do attacks throughout the day. EDIT: session farming is unnecessary.
I see 10.5, 9.75, 9.5, and even 8.9 (or whatever it would be called - th8 defenses on a th11) up here with full storages. I hit them with half armies for the win bonus which is a win for them too (they lose less loot vs a th11 and get full Shield).
