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

[daz258]

This is an amazing thread, the detail is very impressive.

Now you are TH10 have you had to change the way you farm for DE?

Like yourself I for a while did two heroes at the same time while at TH9, but now I'm TH10 and have reasonably strong heroes enjoying the fruits of my labour and raiding with one at a time. Will gem some time off the Queen as she is far more valuable to farm with as opposed to the king.

I use the same army as yourself too, sometimes add a few more Giants/WBs. But ultimately it's a BAM style and works a treat.

Well it's been 3 days so far as a TH 10. My Heroic Heist was 4,937,583 three days ago. Now it's 5,177,756. So that's 240,173 DE farmed since then. 240,000/8 = 80,000 DE per day. So nope! TH 10 hasn't slowed me down a bit!

You are just awesome bro. Keep helping the community as you always do, by not only sharing attack videos but also explaining the various strategies involved in it. I have watched all your 6 videos and hopefully watch the rest of the future ones too.

How's your current base holding up against mass giants, hogs, witches attacks? Could you please share some defense logs for full attack?

You can find the thread with all the information of my base here: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...n-Farming-Base

Along with a 10 day view of my defense log and a bunch of video replays of my bases' defenses. Here's the link to my video defense playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...T2DD2w4ic7sD54

I will add more defense replays of more unique attacks as soon as I'm attacked.

Tips on what type of bases to attack and what type of bases to avoid when Barching in Master League. Credit to Proxy (aka Chase) for these:

A very useful chart for assessing how many buildings needed to achieve 50%:

Level	Maximum Number of Buildings Available	Number of Buildings For 50%	Total Number of Resource and Buildings (+5 Builder Huts)	Total Number of Defensive Buildings
8	62	31	34 (39)	23
9	72	36	38 (43)	29
10	80	40	41 (46)	34

Avoid:



Avoid bases with high level Wizard Towers protected by walls surrounding the exterior parts of the base as they then quickly eradicate your Barch troops. Also avoid bases with active Heroes patrolling the outside parts of the base, as they will not only distract and lure your troops, but also allow other defenses to quickly decimate a substantial amount of your Barch troops.

Attack (Easy 50%):



You want to attack this type of base simply because most of the non-defensive buildings are on the outside of the building, which usually equates to easy 50% win. As you can see, Heroes are inside the base and high level Wizard Towers are far apart from the outside buildings.

Avoid:



Again, this base may look tempting to 50% with Barch as it is rushed, weak defenses, and some builder huts on the corners. But don't let that fool you! This base is harder than it looks. There are Wizard Towers and a Barbariaan King on the outskirts of the base protected by walls and other defenses. Most of the buildings are also inside the walls, so that will also make it a difficult base to 50%.

Attack (Easy 50%):



High level Wizard Towers are inside the base. Heroes are inactive on defense. Lots of buildings outside the base. Which means this is an excellent base to Barch for easy 50%.

I use to think I was a "hardcore" farmer until I started following you. You put me to shame. Your achievements thus far are very impressive. I've learned a lot from you. You're awesome. Great thread. Thanks for the tips, and good luck to you on your journey.

From now on I'll be doing fun little challenges on this thread where I will provide everyone with a picture of a base and an army, and then you'll have to crack that base. Your mission will be to find the best way of attacking the base to obtain as much Dark Elixir as possible. Goal = Dark Elixir.

Purpose of these challenges:

• Interactivity - To have you guys interact with each other, learn from each other.
• Brainstorming - Learn from others' perspective, new ways of looking at things, learn new ways of attacking a base.
• Having Fun - Exploiting and discussing ways of attacking a base should be lots of fun!

Challenge #1

Your Mission - Your mission is to get as much Dark Elixir from this base as possible without harming your Archer Queen. Your Archer Queen should not take more than 10% damage. You must find the safest and easiest way to attack, low risk with high reward. Your first priority is the Dark Elixir, which is a must. Your second priority is getting 1 star on this base so you do not lose trophies, but this is optional. There can be more than one answer or way of attacking this base!
Your Army - You are given 77 Barbarians, 73 Archers, 6 Wall Breakers, 25 Minions, 1 Valkyrie, and an Archer Queen.
The Base:

You must answer by showing your steps and be specific! For example, your format should look like this:

Step 1: Send out a Barbarian on each of the Builder Huts
Step 2: Place 2 Archers on the Laboratory in the south to avoid the defenses from targeting them.
Step 3: ...

or...

Step 1: Spawn about 30 Barbarians from 12 o'clock, then 30 Archers immediately behind them
Step 2: ...

Good luck and have fun!

Step 1: A Barb on each builder hut on the corners, archers on barrcks(one each building) on the right and left(Clearing Exterior buildings)
Step 2: Use 2-3 barbs on top left and right corners with 2 wbs behind, same as top side(barbs for distraction for wbs, should break top right/left compartments and top near wiz twr)
Step 3: Spread barbs on all top of the base using 3 fingers, then archers(about 50 barbs and 50 arch)
Step 4: (Wait for the first wave to kill the ats/cannons in those top compartments, then Use 6-8 minions to take out the top wiz twr, use a few barbs to distract
Step 5: Use rest of barch to bust into mortars compartment, with support of minis to take out the mortars
Step 6: Send aq and valk into the core as the barch should be working on the wall to get to the core, and then u should be secure for the th
