Hey I created a base but I'm not sure if it will be any good, any help/tips/advice would be helpful. Or any constructive criticism would be nice too, I don't get offended too easily either lol.

Hello! You have a pretty good base. I rate our base a 9/10 as you have an unlureable CC, hard to lure heros, great central ADs with amazing air and ground protection, and well spread splash damage.

However, my concerns... are that you have a lot of exposed defense and your sweepers pointed in the same direction (it just seems abnormal to do that, but it's cool).

What would make it better is if you pointed the right sweeper anywhere towards any of the right sided WTs.

Hope this helps out

Thanks, Koof! Well I wanted to try out the air sweepers and see how it works. I don't fully expect it to work but wanted to experiment a little. Hmm I will go over the defenses range, I might have forgotten to check that. Lol

Hey guys! I'm an almost maxed TH9 besides heroes, walls, and DE spells. I was wondering if silver is still a viable place to farm DE because that is what I'm focused on. The bases in silver are usually storage raids on strong TH9s but if I am upgrading heroes they can be a bit hard to get to. Am I better off staying in silver or moving to a new league to farm full DE drills? What league would you recommend? Thanks!

In my experience, Silver was amazing up until end of April/beginning of May. Then it died, but that's just me. May not have been true for everyone. However, for Gold/Elixir, Gold 1 and 2 are undisputedly the best. But since you're more focused on DE for your royals, I'd recommend Master 3. Farm with either a Giant-based army or boosted Loonion (barch works too, but hard-hitting armies with giants and loons can obviously hit harder and go further into bases). Let's assume you're using loonion: the 500 DE loot bonus should make up for your minion cost. When I was loonioning in Masters, I nexted a lot and only went for 3000+ that I could get, but if you're boosting, it's better to just go for 1500+ that you can get, so you won't have to next too long and you'll get lots of raids in. You will also find decent gold in Masters; 120k loot bonus for every raid you win, and a lot of people have full coffers up there, so you'll be getting some walls done too

So to recap, loonion in Masters 3 is your best bet for DE, but if you want to focus on Gold/Elixir (it will be heaven for those because of the 1-gem boost), try Gold 1 and Gold 2. Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are a good amount of juicy drills in Masters (that you can get with barch, after some nexting), and there will definitely be more with the 1-gem boost, especially because drills fill up extremely quickly when boosted.





P.S. Curious, are you a desi? Or does that have nothing to do with your username?

Thanks for the advice!

Any additional information you want to tell me - Maxed defenses (teslas upgrading now). Also have maxed elixer troops.
And of course your question! - All I have left to upgrade is my skull walls and my dark troops. Where should I farm, and what troop comp?

Hi!
I'm a relatively new TH10Current Trophy Count - 1400
Current Army Composition - Barch or Gibarch with healers (though the GiBarch didnt work out too well)
Army Camp Space - 225 + 30 cc space

Im almost exclusively looking for Gold and inactive bases but with the upgrade to TH10 I find it rather difficult to find bases with 200k+ I can attack with Barch.

Do you think another league would be better for me? At TH 9 I was farming inactive Bases in Gold 1 with Barch but that doesnt do now with the TH 10

Thanks for any advice!

Spencer, for TH8, anywhere in Gold should be fine, but I highly recommend Gold 2 and Gold 1. As for troop comp, if you want quicker raids, do BAM, and if you are fine with longer waiting time between raids, but less dark elixir use, use barch. If boosting barch, you don't have to boost all 4 barracks; boosting 2 works almost as well with half the gem consumption. Make sure you keep nexting a lot and only attack bases where you can get 300k combined, and since you're going for DE, if you see a nice 1000+ DE raid, go for it. If you are ok with less gold income to upgrade walls, you can go to C3 or C2 and farm the league bonus as well as the juicy DE storages there.

Whichever one you choose to do, make sure your raiding sessions are at the right times of day. In general, these are good times to boost/have raiding sessions:

3:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST (GMT -5:00)
8:00 PM - 11:00 PM EST (GMT -5:00)
3:00 AM - 5:00 AM (GMT -5:00) *BEST*

Anyway, I can't really tell you exactly what trophy range or army comp you should use, because depending on your preferences and play-style, there are many effective options to pick from. Also, loot varies from person to person. Good luck and happy farming!

Songoku, I don't know much about TH10 farming, so I don't want to mislead you. However, this is what I think you should do (take my advice with a grain of salt, because as I said, I'm not a TH10 expert).

If you are very active (2+ hours per day farming), I recommend Masters 3. If you aren't very active, however, try Crystal Leagues.

Make sure you're raiding at the right time of day. Look at my response to SpencerMin (on this post); I said what times are best (it's bolded).

I know a TH10 farmer, and I'll tell him to take a look and reply to you. Good luck

Town Hall Level: 9
Current Trophy Count: 600-1000
Current Army Composition: 8 giants, 6 wb, rest barch
Army Camp Space: 220
Any additional information you want to tell me: I like farming in the lower leages and I don't think that I would want to use BAM.

Question: I am currently getting about 5000 DE per hour. Is that good? If I want to increase my DE per hour any tips on how to do it or do I just have to get lucky and get 2000+ de raids very often?

Thanks
