Ash's Journey to Level 40 Heroes and Dark Elixir Farming Guide

[Entone]

Nice, keep it up! If you're boosting all 4 barracks, try a combination of Balloons with BAM. I've tried it before and works very well. Spread Balloons around to clear out defenses with a Rage Spell. Balloons will also activate all air bombs in the way so your Minions will be safe. Then when you've removed a bunch of defenses, send in Barbs and Archers and and create a path towards DE, break walls with Wall Breakers. If you can't get the DE with Barch, then send in Minions last to retrieve it. Train about 12 Balloons, 20 Minions, 6 Wall Breakers, rest Barbs and Archers.

Thanks man, will give it a go and let you know how I get on.

I finally upgraded the AQ to 30! Currently sitting at 226/250 lavas and going to pull the trigger within a day or two! What an incredible journey thus far.

Hi Ash! I'm almost max TH8, all my walls are lvl8 and my defences are almost max except my cannons and mines and pumps. I have hit a bump on my progress where my lab is not fully researched. Should i upgrade to TH9 or stay and finish my research first?

Currently researching;
Balloons to level 5

Things to do in my laboratory
Goblins to level 5
Wall Breaker to level 5
Healer to level 3
P.E.K.K.A to level 2 and 3
Healing Spell to level 5
Lightening Spell to level 5
Minions to level 4
Hog Riders to level 4

I hope you read this!
Thank you

Definitely upgrade to TH9. It will only benefit you at TH9 as you can then start working on upgrading your Archer Queen and other defenses.

Awesome video ash. I like the strats that u share in your video plus the way you explain all that farming stff and break down base designs and weaknesses. Keep up the Damn nice good work and hoping to watch another episode asap .

Hello Ash,
I'm running into a stiff situation here where i have to make a choice.
Lemme introduce my base. My name is Yajat. Im a th9 and ive got 92 lavas rest legos.
AQ is going to 26 and BK to 20.
Now i have 500 attacks so far (my activity).
I am in gold 2-crystal3. Im able to find and farm about 30k DE easily a day. I rarely boost my barracks maybe once every 2 weeks or so. I'm able to farm 25k DE in a 2 barracks boost session.
I can also get around 1 mil gold per hour if i go only for it.
My main problem lies here-
I am unable to farm both gold and DE effectively. I can keep up with efficiency but not effectiveness.
Means if i farm gold then i am unable to farm enough DE to keep both heroes going. But if i farm DE i can only doe 2-3 lavas per day max.
So what would be your suggestion ?
Btw i cant boost coz i cant buy gems ,(India....No gift cards here and parents dont allow credit cards for "silly & addictive games).
P.S. If you were wondering what army i use i use the same army u show in your videos i.e. BAM with 8 wbs and 16-20 minions .

Hi Yajat,

I am not ash obviously but I hope you do not mind me butting in

If you can farm DE and gold seperately why cant you just go for whatever the base has being it gold or DE? Maybe not in the same raid but if the base has good DE then go for that, if the base has good gold then go for that. I assume you use the same army composition for gold and DE.

I do farm heroes and walls at the same time but I do it a bit differently than ash. I go for champions league bonus but except for today it hasnt been as good as it was before the update.

I would suggest to farm enough DE to keep both heroes upgrading and use the rest of the week to farm lavas. When heroes are level 30 it will be much easier farming the walls.

Even I'm from India.. I gem every AQ upgrade time not BK.. Bcuz having AQ it's a boost for farming no matter your BAMing or gibarch.. U better gibarch at higher leagues..

I suggest just focusing on DE, Heroes will make the bigger impact, lavas won't. High level Heroes are so much more important than high level walls. Use the Gold and Elixir you make to upgrade your defenses and lab, and any extra should be used on lavas.
