His example -- which I can verify is absolutely true -- is when you have a WT shooting at archers or barbs on the ground, it cannot hit any minions attacking from the sky. So when you've got a WT that needs to be cleared really quickly, you do this "multi dimension" attack with both ground & air troops.

    And the more you farm DE, the more you'll realize that minions can sometimes save what would otherwise be a totally failed attack. The mortars might've crushed all your barch already and there are still walls standing in your way, but even a couple minions will sometimes fly right over all that and drop those weird little black turds on the DE store!

    Yup! And I like that term, I'll name it the "multi-dimensional attack" for future references.

    yeah sometimes your barch clears out some air defenses and your minions can't be touched. Especially with the 4th mortar you need minions just something strong that can take hits from a mortar (ex. giants) or something that a mortar can't touch (minions).

    Yeah - when I have both heroes upgrading (which is the goal, but I'm currently not quite able to keep them perma sleeping), I'll add in some Minions. They function as a kind of mini-AQ, in that I am currently upgrading my BK, and using my AQ as a final percentage point or DE storage sniper, and not letting her get hit by anything.

    I've got 2 days left of the BK upgrading to 15, and I've just put my AQ to go to 17. I've done 85k since putting the king to sleep 5 days ago - im a happy bunny. Also up to 43 Legos from 15 about a week ago.

    I'm still a really new th10 with lvl30king and going to lvl30 queen. Looks like you'll be ahead of me in no time
    Personally I stuck to farming walls in g1-c3 with de as a by-product, for you it was the other way but the end result is pretty much the same. I wanted walls first due to loot penalty and walls being relatively easier as a th9.

    I got my AQ going to level 17 and BK to level 16.

    Only really started farming DE this week. Got my hero's to where they are, as a by-product farming my walls and upgrades. Tried a few different attack types to DE farm. Tried Gibarching and still not good at that one at all overall.

    Today did barching with a few minions and WB mainly to get my cups up. Got a C2 badge now. Luckily got a bit time to get good at the main way I am going to farm DE.

    GL with your Heros. Sure you will get there.

    I made a simple zap chart for all you zappers out there:



    This is for a storage containing 2000 DE, so it gives you a good picture of how much DE you'll be making per lightning spell. Also a good picture of how much less DE that can be stolen if the DE Storage is of a high level.

    I have also just passed 600 million gold grab!

    As of 17-November-2014
    Barb King: Lvl 8
    Archer Queen: Lvl 6


    Man, now I realized what I enrolled for.
    Honestly, it's a tough job for me due to following reasons:
    1. I belong to a war clan. With every war, I spend lot of d.e. and its doesn't help if we loose that war
    2. I manage to make 15-20 attacks a day. My daily d.e. collection average is 12-15K only
    3. Currently, I am priortizing elixir hunting as my lab getting free in 4 days. Getting ready for next troop upgrade.

    As of 21-Nov-2014
    Barb King: Lvl 9 (Put to upgrade for lvl 10)
    Archer Queen: Lvl 7 (Helping me in hunting elixir)
