Need Some DE Farming Tips

[boxingkangeroo]

I know zapping is a common thing to do, along with pushing up to crystal and attack farmers for the free 500 DE.

I personally dont thing the elixer is a good trade off for zapping 50 DE, and it took me forever to push to crystal and I dont really want to push up again unless im super confident and want to go for the League All-Star Part 2.

So what I want to know is what are some good strategies for a TH7 (pretty much TH8, just gotta finish 40 walls and then im max) to get some DE. I know war helps alot, but I would like to get some extra on the side during the downtime. Thanks for the help.

I got lvl5 BK at TH7. At first I used giant+healer, but I realized it was overkill, because even giant+healer stand no chance against lvl 6 mortars and high lvl wizard towers. So at the end I used simple BARCH. Search for bases, where the DE storage is poorly covered by splash dmg. You can destroy a mortar or a wizard tower with 2 lightning spells if necessary. Search for exposed full DE drills also. It is very important, that you recognize a full high lvl DE drill (Just look for drill that has golden top, and a whole black box). The other thing that helps, that you try to keep your other resources low. If you give a loot for 30k gold/30k elixir/800 DE, it is much less actracting, than 150k gold/150k elixir/400 DE. And keep your TH outside, undefended.

Barch at Gold 1 or 2 if you can't push to Crystal. Like mentioned above, use 2 lightning spells with it to take out a mortar/wizard tower & take the storage out.

What I do is a little different though. I use 90 Barbs, 86 Archers, 8 Wbs with a rage spell. I use a few barbs & archers to take out the outside buildings. Once they are cleared, I take out the walls by the wbs & send in the barb king to tank the splash towers & around 25-30 barbs & 25-30 Archers behind him. Once they are all together, I simply use a rage spell & in just a few seconds, all the buildings in the compartment (Mostly middle compartment) are gone. After that, I either save up my army or go for a 50% if I'm low on trophies. This way, I usually get around 500 DE along with 150k+ loot on TH 8s without using any lightning spells on any splash towers.
