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

[epicandrew25]

I have both heroes at level 1... I think there is no need to upgrade.

I am TH7 and about to have a lvl 3 BK, my way of DE farming is 3 lightning spells on DE storage that has more than 1k (getting you around 800 DE) and then attack the drills. I average around 1500 - 2k DE per day :P

It's more efficiënt if you would do it OP's way, since you can gain some other resources aswell as a full DE storage instead of 800 DE :P

Yup, use OP's method of attack. Not only can you get more DE loot per raid, you can also raid more in the time it takes to create 3 lighting spells.

3 lightning spells = 1-1/2 hours

OP's troops = a little over 30 minutes

You can raid 3 times during 3 lightning spells creation...that can translate to 3 times the DE profit.

This thread is awesome! While waiting for upgrade to TH9 I followed suggested strategy for raiding and collected 40k DE in 5 days, maxing my storage (80K). Began minion upgrade to level 3 and raided another 20k DE so I can get AQ and start level 2 upgrade the moment I am at TH9.

Thank you Unity Sharp for starting this, and all others that contributed strategies and videos.

Good Job man!
**Works with level 4 troops too!**

To solve the long training time problem, you can utilize the Clan Castle to your advantage. I think of CC donations as TRAINING TIME donations, compare these donation compositions in a CC lv 5:
-30 archers take only 12.5 minutes to train
-1 dragon, 2 wizards, and 2 archers take 51 minutes to train
-7 wizards and 2 archers take 71 minutes to train
So getting wizards in your clan castle gives you the highest value in terms of training time saved.

I disagree with the bold part. I consider CC troops as additional troops to your army but you do not save anything in time or resources. The rationale is that, while you receive donations you also give. So if you receive 6 wizards, you also have to give 6 wizards. I am assuming you donate more or less as much as you receive. If you give more than you receive (I usually give 1.5 times more than I receive), you are spending that much more time for your CC troops.

This is true for most scenarios. The only cases this is not true is if you donate only when you are not attacking yourself (or if you are stingy and do not donate at all )

Great guide, this will definitely come in handy when I make the upgrade to TH9

I too want superheroes! I love that BK! I decided to max him at TH 7 to lvl 5 and now at TH 8 I've got him to 9. One more upgrade till he gets the golden glove...
Anyways, i did up a guide for DE farming at TH7 which worked well to get my BK and my Minions up. Its prolly not too useful for higher THs ( i know my strategy has changed somewhat since TH7), but other may find it useful... Link is in the sig....
Happy DE raiding...

Since i have been using Unity's strategy and army comp, with some slight variations, i have gotten my bk to lv 10, valks to lv2 and now just started my golem upgrade to lv2. I have been swimming in DE!!

Mods, can we please delete this thread now?

Too many people are learning and implementing the technique. Next thing I know it'll be happening to my base, quick!

Why wait? You can use this now at th8 or even th7.

I have both heroes at level 1... I think there is no need to upgrade.

i have upgraded my King to lv10 and there is a big difference. He is huge on attack. Definitely worth it.
