Not worth attacking

[thegasman]

I don't think it's worth attacking anymore. Here's why.

I'm a near max TH9 in masters 1. I need dark elixir to upgrade my heros.
I have two maxed DE drills, both currently boosted.

If I attack I average 2,500 DE including bonus from my logs. Costs me 1,500de to train troops and spells and takes 2 hours. Net 1,000 de per attack.
If I'm attacked I lose about 2,500de on average.

I get a 12 hour shield. Should I attack?

Option 1: Do nothing:
pump 400de/hour for 12 hours = 4,800de
get attacked and lose 2,500
Net gain 2,300 in 12 hours.

Option 2: Get three attacks in under my shield
Gain 3,000de net
Plus 6 hours pumping de while I train troops = 400 x 6 = 2,400
get attacked and lose 2,500
Net gain 2,900
Do all this twice in 12 hours, net gain 5,800 in 12 hours.

So for spending 12 hours at the game, attacking 6 times, I gain an extra 3,500 de.
Do that 20 times (10 days solid gameplay, no sleep lol) and I'll be able to upgrade 1 hero one level.

Is it really worth it?

Maybe just burn all your gold and elixir on walls so you're an unlikely target. Someone might still take you out for just 2500 de...but I wouldn't bother.

I have 1.2k DE lootable and almost no gold and elixir (all into legos). Every time my shield is out and I am offline I get attacked within a few minutes. If people go full-out for my 1.2k DE, they surely will go for OPs 2.5k.

Try using Arcanum by mattyyy or the new Hypercube by Ash (Eternal625).

I only have level 10 walls and heroes left also, I actually never get attacked as I always have low loot except for DE, which I guess is not worth attacking if other two are really low I found this to work better than shield.

Being broke is the ultimate defense

I only got dropped on, but havent been actually raided in a long time.
