A maxed TH9 working lava walls and heroes, looking for farming optimization tips.

[Aronos]

Hello! I'm a maxed TH9 who's currently working on heroes and level 10 walls. I'm looking for suggestions on ways to best optimize my farming potential!

Currently, my goal is to finish at least 100 lava walls before I move to TH10. I may even finish them. In the mean time, I'm trying to keep my heroes sleeping 24/7 as I want them to be at least 20 or 25 each before I move up. At the moment, I'm working on getting core walls to 10 then I'll finish my outer wall layer to 9. Reason being, the first layer is generally a free bust and 9s don't soak up an extra wall breaker over level 8 walls.

That being said, I've been farming primarily around 2200 for DE, and 1950-2000 for gold. My quota each day is generally 6 million gold to finish off a couple lavas and when I'm around 2200, I can typically farm about 50-60k DE a day, boosting bx only once during the evening.

After doing some research, it looks like some people are able to do as much as 15-18 million gold a day in raids and I'm not sure what they're doing. I would imagine they must be boosting bx and playing 12-16 hours a day. My best days raiding DE leave me with maybe 60k or so in a day but again, I've seen people farm much more than I ever have in a day.

So does anyone have any suggestions? Currently, I look for 200k+ gold raids in either trophy range, for DE, I usually look for 2k plus around the 2200 range and maybe 1-1.2k around the 2k range.

Also, any TH9s tried sub 200 recently? I know there's no DE down there but hows the gold?

Currently, my farming setup consists of this:

For 2200 - 1 bx giants, 1 bx barbs, 2 bx archers, 8 wbs, 20 gobs, 1 zap, 1 heal, 2 rage

This generally leaves me with 8-10 giants, 40-50 barbs, 70-80 archers. With this I can farm collectors but also penetrate into most bases to an extent to snag storages when I need to. The cook time is just as quick as barch but slightly less damage output

For 2000 - 1 bx barbs, 3 bx archers, 8 wbs, 20 goblins 1 zap, 1 heal, 2 rage

Typical collector farming, pretty basic.

Have a look at my thread: "Grinding Lava Walls"

For a max th9, C2 through masters had good loot for me.

Boosted BARCH is even more powerful now then pre-update so I have been staying in G2 hitting collector raids all day and keeping my 30 minions and 15 minions in CC for DE diving. making about 4mil and 30k a hour down here.

Hi Aronos,

Like many of us, i admire the purity of maxing out th9. Its refreshing with so many underdeveloped th10s out there. So thanks for helping to set an example

i can't help feeling that you miss out on raids if you're not carrying at least 8 giants and 8 wbs, for those bases where the de or storage takes a little more effort. With that flexibility you can BAM or BARCH what you need to but still go deeper for full storages when the opportunity arises. Overall, it seems to offer more options and faster raiding. And you can have the giants cooking while raiding so its still a fast enough turn around.

So I'd advocate 8 giants, 8 wbs, 20-24 minions, and the rest split between archers and barbarians. Although I'm farming at a lower trophy range than you are currently, i know that this combination is even more effective in crystal. I realise its possible to manage without the giants but they do add another dimension.

oh, and i use a single rage spell when times get tough.

Right now your raiding every 23 minutes and let's say your averaging 250k gold an attack and your playing 12 hours a day, this means your making 652k gold per hour and 7.8 mil gold a day.
You can farm a lot more gold a day if you hog and healer at g3
you can raid every 14 minutes without even a full army and 3 star almost every attack and take loot in storages or collectors, this means while attacking every 14 minutes and averaging 250k gold per attack playing 12 hours a day you could be making 1.07 mil gold an hour and 12.8 mil gold a day.

the only problem with this is that this cost de so you can't upgrade heroes so you'll probably have to farm de like crazy until you get your heroes to the lvl you want them to be then get a full 200k storage of dark elixer and drop down to g3-g2 and hog and healer.

i would rather you do this than trying to do both walls and hereos at the same time as this is actually slowing you down in the long run. So focus on one resource at a time.

For de farming use Brandon's

or balloonion but this is slower.

For hog and healer it's just 3 barracks making healers 1 barrack making 4 giants 10 barbs 10 archers and de barracks making hogs

Well you're already good...

You just need to boost more if you want to finished it faster

Farming in G3 as TH9? Is there really that much loot down there?
