So Frequently raided!!! I am so messed up!

[zxiang77]

I am TH8 and had this problem as a new TH8, now my TH just usually gets sniped, keep low on the elixir so TH9's have no interest in you, yeah I get crushed sometimes but it's getting better as I start to upgrade my defense.

I am really trying to!!! But maybe I looted too much or something. It has been only 5 days after I expended all my DE to research hogs, but I now have 30k DE again and people just come to loot my DE, and get 200-300k elixir in the meantime. So I just put DE storage outside a few hours ago and to see it could be better. i dont care about DE so much anyway.

This happens to every single TH8. Once you get to high TH8, it will happen much less.

It is not that hard to go forward in stead of backwards. It is simply a matter of steeling more from others then they steal from you. There is a sort of limit to what they can steal. If you max out your de drills then you get 90 de per hour. If you get a shield that means you have at least 12 hours worth of de which is 1080 de. So if they steal 2000 de from you in those 12 hours then you have to steal at least 1000 de back to get even. In most cases you can find villages that have more then 2000 de that you can easily steal in a massive dragon attack. This means that you can get de very quickly if you want. So step one is to get enough elixer first to train an army of dragons. you train that while you have a shield. just before your shield runs out you collect your de from your drills and start a dragon attack. Then you can do some extra farming for some cheap de that is in de drils outside the walls. That can give you another few thousand de in about an hour. So perhaps in an hour time you can get about 1000 de from your own drills, 2000 de with a dragon attack and 2000 de from sniping. That is enough to keep your ballance positive. If you do more raids and take more time it will ofcourse be easier to get the right amount of loot for your upgrade. I got today a vilage that had more then 1500 de in their drills outside the walls that I collected with just a few archers.

dragon attack is too low efficient.. actually i don't care about DE as much as elixir and gold, because I want them to max out my base and troops.. and as ur DE storage gets full people r also gonna come to get u 2k of DE.. I think now my DE is trapped around 30k, because as long as i get 2k of DE and someone will come in to take me around 2k of it. if it keeps at this level, I am gonna just put my DE storage outside my base to protect my elixir and gold. But thanks for ur advice

Upgrade your walls. Your pink walls scream please come take all my stuff. It's a mental thing, people see your pink walls first since they are brightly colored and make you instantly seem like an easy target. People decide in seconds of they are going to raid you or not. You don't want their first thought to be "rushed, weak", cause their next check won't be where's the th it's how much loot do you have.

Id agree on this.

To me, my thinking is that anyone that still has pink walls at TH8 or higher is someone that doesnt play that much and generally they usually dont know what they are doing.

The bases are usually easier because the walls are weak and the base designs are usually bad so its a case of deciding:
1) How much of my army will I need to get whatever Im looking for
2) Is the payoff enough to justify the army spend

Remember that people only get 30 seconds to decide whether they will raid a base or not and thats not enough time to fully scope all your defences, positioning, stall points, trap locations etc.

Low level walls often indicate general base weakness and upgrading your walls is as much about putting off other raiders as much as it is strengthening your base

Personally, lv6 giants and AQ attacks became a lot rarer at TH8 once I got my surrounding inner walls to Lvl 8

Quit breaking your shield unless you can do 6 or more attacks. Then, you'll have made profit when you do get attacked! Simple

I sometimes did it because I have to do clan war, and I cannot just expend all my troops in goblin camp, that is 120m worth troop!! So now it reached to 3m elixir looted in a week

I am definitely working on the walls less than half of my walls are pink. It definitely takes time (maybe up to a month or something) to max out ur walls so what should you do at the meantime?? just keep people coming in?? I know it happens to all th8. I also have a lot of th8 clanmates, but none of em r so badly rushed as me am.
