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

[UnitySharp]

Oh here is a good one to show what I was talking about clearing the outskirt of the enemy base before launching the full attack:

If they cost DE to upgrade then they do cost something to get right?

It takes gold to upgrade CC so same thing.

Hmm, this base design looks quite familiar... Dunno whose design is it but it seems popular and deadly. But I just love bullying skull wall TH8s, because they are usually fully loaded & very yummy

My starting position was wrong for this base, should have been bottom right, not bottom. I got lucky here. But that's why I love wizards, just need a lv 5 wizard to take down a storage tank quickly

This was a very good DE raid that I just got

UnitySharp, amazing thanks for the uploads, great job even though it will take a while to build army like that but it works like a charmp.

Agree on everything you saying about heroes.

yes, it is quite famous Pingfao's design and considered one of the best designs for th8 let's not forget your th is 10 strong troops and healers are level 4.

nonetheless great job I usually skip bases like that but then again will definitely try this sometime soon.

Was pleasantly surprised when I clicked on this thread to see some intelligent discussion. I had never considered trying to max out the BK/AQ as a week and 100K+ DE per level (in the later levels) seems excessively long/hard without gemming but you've made me think twice.

Few questions:

Can you explain how you calculated 3600-4000 DE per hour? You say your army takes 38 minutes to train meaning you can raid about 1.5 times per hour (also you use an average 1 rage spell per attack which would slow you down even more). From what I can see you are averaging maybe 1400DE per raid. Doesn't that make your average DE per hour about 2000? Also factor in the occasional fail (and don't you have to fight any battles just to keep your trophy count up? Whenever I raid DE, my trophy count seems to drop) and it's probably even lower.

Since you want to upgrade your BK/AQ almost continuously, how are you planning on keeping up with the increasing upgrade cost? Meaning you can keep up now, but when your BK/AQ reach L22/20, they will cost 100K DE each so you'll need to raid 200K DE per week. If we take your average of 4000DE per hour that's 7 hours per day assuming you can play everyday!! And it only gets harder from there.

I am looking forward to the op responding to this. It looks like he averages 2000 per hour to me as well. But I don't think he means you would be upgrading bk 39-40 and aq 35-36 at the same time(you get a head start on the bk before in th8 by a lot). I think he means at low levels its much more good than bad to upgrade them both at the same time.

I would take everything UnitySharp's advice to heart. This guy raw farmed all of his DE before the last update that made heroes cheaper and even still...... his heroes are so damn high now that even pay2win TH10 noobs can't keep up.

Btw, just curious, isn't the main point of raiding, just to focus on DE raids ?

Why are you recommending unconventional armies that requires long training time, where the same purpose of raiding for DE can be accomplished by farming armies ?

Am I missing something..
or is there something special with your unconventional healer/giant/wiz/rage combo.
