    Welp, now they do. And much like zappers who use elixir they don't have any other use for, you will get to see a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off TH8s taking out their frustration on those TH9's DE storages.
    Lol, good luck getting to my DE storage with just dragons. They'd need spells to get in that deep and they still take as long to make as always.

    Also, now you have ruined my barcher ratio (I have more barbarians than archers in my army!).

    One Little Example in case you don't get it.

    Initially, you have 120 archers and 80 barbs. You used half of each in a battle. So you are now left with 60 archers and 40 barbs.

    Meanwhile, your barracks are training troops while you are attacking. So when you get back to your village, you will see 120 barbs (40 initially + 20 x 4 barracks) but only 80 archers.

    Gradually, you will have less archers and more barbs....


    We don't need shorter training time for barbarians - they don't take too long to train anyway! I would be happier if you make the barbarians walk faster..

    Seriously, this mini-update is a joke.
    If OP really can't use his brain to figure a way around this...man, I don't see how so many people are complaining about a free barch boost, lol.

    Here's an idea, fill all barracks with archers. After you raid, come back, fill two barracks each with 40 barbs and tadaaa, 3 mins later you have your 80 barbs while archers are still cooking. (PS if you come back to 200 archers, you were nexting for too damn long)

    That's why they spend 10 gems and boost their spell factory, maybe even another 10 to boost their BK.

    8 dragons, 40 barbs, BK and a rage spell will be able to get to most TH9 DE storages in the game, and several TH10 DE storages.

    I have my TH10 with lvl 7 ADs and skeleton traps set to air, and my TH9 with lvl 6 ADs and air skellies, so I'm not too worried, but not everyone is set up to withstand dragon raids (prior to this, it was a very rare army combo to see in regular farming/raiding due to the time commitment).

    Even Nexting for too long wouldn't botch this. There's 3 minutes max to an attack, if all 4 barracks were running archers, that's almost 8 archers per barrack, or 32 archers made during the fight. Very easy to come back to and have plenty of time to add in the desired amount of each barb to each barrack, and then scale down the archers to fit the 200/220/240 troop capacity that they're aiming for.

    Sorry mate but I cannot find it hard to farm 152,500 DE for maxing BK lvl10 in TH8 in 20 days. It is doable and relatively easy task and I did it. You should farm about 7k De per day. Also 2 max drills will produce 2160DE daily. So it is not hard.

    The problem is 128M gold for walls level 8. Now this event help me to mass drags some TH9 and Th10 gold storages.
    I repeat in several threads. farming walls level 8 is much harder than walls level 9 because TH9 can use elixir for walls level 9. Based on my experiences TH9 can farm elixir at least 2 times faster than gold. So TH9 can farm 750K elixir and 250K gold for walls level 9. But TH8 should farm 500K gold.

    Therefore, Yes mass dragon help me to burn my elixir and change it to gold. yesterday I could farm 6.5M gold in 6 hours non stop playing. It is good!

    Ah that is my bad, when both my accounts were TH8s you could only have 1 drill to lvl 3 and TH7s didn't have them, so most DE farming had to be done against TH9/10s, which required very strong armies as a TH8. Farming 7k DE in a day was incredibly rare unless you were dead set on farming DE, which typically meant you weren't going to be getting much gold and most likely losing elixir in the process.

    Isuppose DE farming isn't too terrible now in general, as TH9s can get more from TH8s b/c of this, and TH8s can farm other TH8s for respectable amounts now they they have 2 drills.

    That math though is a little off. It would be more like 350k gold and 700k elixir to a TH8's 500k gold example, but I'm also not so sure that's entire true. As a TH9, you can definitely farm elixir easier than gold, as TH8s are swimming in it, but if you look at most of their EE to GG achievements, I don't think it comes anywhere near that 2:1 mark, even if they moved to TH9 early so they didn't stall their EE progress due to overflowing storages.

    EDIT: 335k to 670k in that example, not sure why I bothered to correct the math and not try to make it as accurate as possible, lol

    I can reel off drag attacks quicker and get my attacks in faster so someone else won't nab the base I want. It doens't help too much but whatever
