Mini-Guide for DE Farming - you want super heroes, don't you?

[hankmagno]

I tried something to get DE of th8 or th9 when I was at th7.

I used 3 level 4 lighting spells direct on the DE storage. Doing so I got almost the 60-70% of the available loot of level 2-3 storages.

Another way to get the DE but you spend 60000 gold and have to wait each time 90minutes to get the three spells again.

Would it not be hard to farm for other resources (gold or elixir) using Unity's method especially if 2 or 3 gold/elixir storages are scattered around the base and not just sitting in the core?

Isn't one of the reasons this DE farming works so well is because the troop's goal is to aim for destroying ONE building (i.e., DE storage)

What I meant is that I will attack a base even if it has low DE, I'll take it if it has sufficient amount of Gold, the Unity way = piercing the core. Fhou.

This strategy is good for hitting vaults (resource tanks concentrated in the middle) and for trophy hunting - getting the TH. Replace the goblins with archers if you are trophy hunting though.

This is my ongoing problem...writing but not fully explaining myself. I meant to convey that Unity's method is good at taking down a building (i.e., the one you are focusing on) in the core. For many of my attacks, I noticed that I can't take down every building in the core; this maybe the limit of having level 4 troops.

I was thinking the same line of removing goblins and replacing it with another troop (mainly archers) to be used for trophy hunting and getting the TH in the core.

Current Status:
I noticed that I don't win as many battles as I did when framing DE at the 1300-1400 range. I get the DE but lose the battle. I started at 1700 trophy and now I am down to 1500.

After six battles, I am sitting at 6600 DE (started with under 1000). I had to use 2 rage spells to get a DE loot of 3150. So far so good but I think I need to get back up in trophy range.

What I do is I go to sub 200 to farm and when I get off, a bunch of high level drop troops right? So I look at their bases and revenge lightning them. Since they attacked first, they cannot revenge me again. If you just straight out lightning a TH 9, they could steamroll your base.

S an interesting guide but i think your long training time is hurting your de per hour. I can raid 3600 de an hour at 1400-1500 range with my farmy army, if im going solely for de.

[UnitySharp]

2500 de per hour is way too low, if you are farming solely DE. But do you expect more with that army composition?
Attack more frequently, use quicker armys and farm the drills!
5k - 7k De per hour, when i was at townhall 9 (without excessively dropping trophies).

That's awesome guys. I would love to learn ways to get the DE faster, as I desperately need DE faster when my heroes get to lv 23-24. Would it be too much to ask if you guys could run stats for a whole day that you raided, just like I did? So calculate all the DE gained, subtract all the DE cost if any, and let us know how many hours you have spent on raiding.

The reason I ask this is because if I don't do this stat tracking, I tend to get the feeling that I was raiding a lot of DE, forgetting some of the fails. Once I did a whole day's accounting, I found out that the DE amount I got was not as high as I thought it would be. So it would be interesting to see what would be the "hard fact" numbers you guys can show us Also some attack videos would be great, too. Please. Thank you!

Cool, thank you! BTW, whenever I do DE hunting, I try to get 4 more storage tanks at the same time (so DE storage + 4 gold/elixir storage tanks), so that I can keep up with my other upgrades as well as having enough elixir to make army

Wait you try to raid the dark elixir plus 4 other tanks? Ie 2 elixir and 2 gold or something like that? I usually succeed doing that too, but for some reason most bases with 1k+ de only have 50-100 k gold lol

Yes, if I only get the DE storage everytime, with my 110k elixir army, I would go broke very soon :/ I usually get 100-250k resource at the same time I get the DE.
