I've finished all legos, and I have about 15 lavas completed (way harder to get motivated to knock out 3 million for 1 wall segment, BTW).
I've been sitting in Crystal 2 around 2300 for the climb from BK15 to BK20, and it works pretty well GiBarching TH8s with 800+ DE. I'm using a comp of 52 arch, 52 Barb, 20 gob, 16 giant, and 8 wb split evenly among barracks. 6 wiz in CC, AQ when available. Costs around 100k elixir, but I'm ignoring elixir unless I'm really low. I'm typically getting the next level DE in about 5.5 to 6 days, and hemming the remaining time. Dumping gold and elixir into walls when I reach about 3.2 million.
For the AQ10 to AQ15 climb, I had to drop back to 1900s with Crystal 3 badge since I was losing too many battles and missing out on the bonus. The DE is better in C2, but nexting to find a TH8 with good numbers or TH9 without upgraded xbows was getting old.
My biggest thing is that I farm so much better with the AQ. So, I'd like to add the question, should I continue the 5 level increments or does farming get significantly better with BK25 that I should get him there before taking the queen to 20?
Good luck with your journey to level 30!
