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

[RuthlessBarbarian]

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been paying close attention. I still agree that Heroes should not be neglected, but still not sold on such heavy setup being considered better than BA or BAM army. Yes, this army does give an edge to attack bases with deeper buried DE, but at the same time it limits you from attacking bases with lower amount of DE. Wheres my army does make me skip some of the bases, but at the same time offers flexibility and ability to attack bases with 500-600 DE or so.

My build time is only 14 minutes (roughly) in comparison to your 35-40 minute build. End results are roughly the same if not better. Not trying to argue your methods or say that BA/BAM is still a better universal army, but just offering my BAMbaric point of view.

First, you are lucky to get wizards in your CC. My clan mainly donates archers. I hope to get into Unity Acad. or Inst. soon.

Yes, it is good for trophy pushing too. I removed the goblins and replaced with archers and added two more wizards. I went as high as Crystal 3 with level 4 troops. Don't know if I could have gone to Crystal 2 as the bases above 2000 are hard. I came down in trophy as I am starting TH8.

It takes 36 minutes to train the army... Which is the only downside I guess...
Also, how do you deploy the army? Do you do it with Sharp's method, or some other way?
Lastly, feel free to join Institute if you are 40+

Very good questions & input. But with BAM, don't you have high DE cost?

My training time is 27-29 minutes, not 35-40 minutes I have improved my strategies over the past month and lowered the training cost & time. The key factor is to receive all wizards in the CC, which my alliance provides

I am interested to see how much DE profit you can make per hour with the BAM method though, can you do some stats?

Thanks!

Yes and no. I build BAM not not always use minions. I have not calculated DE per hour but will try tomorrow. I'll average it out so at least we will have somewhat reliable number. I probably spend more gold for searching BAMable bases, so that could also be a con, however, I was happy with today's end result.

Pardon my timing calculations. I went by your latest video time stamps and roughly estimated your army's build time.

As for the wizards, I might of missed that part. However, if everyone is using the same strategy, wouldn't you have to also "bake" wizards for others? ♥♥♥ for tat.

Not with the way our donations work.

Our default donation troops are level 5 wizards in Unity Elite and level 4+ wizards in Unity, although specific requests will be catered for. If you want archers, we'll get you archers. We employ a unique donating system which includes two modes; farming mode and donation mode. Members in donation mode will quickly fill requests made by those in request mode. Members dynamically change modes as per their desire. This strategy is efficient because we have members in many different time zones. When in farming mode, members are encouraged to request as often as possible and to use their clan castle as part of their attacking strategy; we think of the clan castle as an extra 20-30 troops that can be vital to a raid. If you are in farming mode, you are not required to donate at all. Donation mode starts with members training troops whilst they away for a significant number of hours. They then return with full camps of troops destined for donating. What many members do is train troops overnight and donate in the morning for an easy 100+ troops donated.

[UnitySharp]

Just reduce 17.5 minuter per barrack with your calculation (total 70 minutes for 7 wizards), and I only bake wizards to donate when I sleep, so the time cost to me is negligible

Looking forward to your stats after testing I have incorporated your BAM strategy into DE hunting, and I call it WHM. It works really well though due to the bases I attack often have good AD, I have to release most if not all of the minions early while my army keeps the AD and wiz towers distracted.

I want to start using this strategy and farming DE myself, but I don't have level 5 minions yet. How much of an issue would this be? I would be upgrading them to level 5 as quickly as possible once I got going.
