I am in Champs 2 and still can't find decent elixir

[UncleEddie]

Pre-update, my clan asked me to drop cups and farm my way back up and report on my findings. So - I dropped to 485 cups and did just that - farmed my way back up all the way to Champs 2.

Result of this: Where is all of the elixir?
I can get gold and de, no problem...but the elixir is scarce - even in Champs 2.

Granted I have to make pekka's and 5 spells per raid, and the bonus is greatly improved, but I can barely get my elixir up to 2,000,000 and when I war in addition to push, elixir drops to scary low amounts.

Same results, TH11.

I found I can go up in elixir if I choose to use DE troops, but then I go down in DE.

For profit, the best ranges seem to be barching in low trophies (silver 1 to crystal 3) and exposing enough of your base so people can easily take 30%+TH+2 storages.

Yup. Difficult times for th10/11. Hope the economy will improve for you guys

I am farming in champs 2 with my th11. Elixir has been steady, I just dropped another 7 mil into my Warden. I would say I average 2-300k elixir per base I hit with a couple whales thrown in there. Coupled with win bonus it is a pretty steady climb. I am using lavaloon with 4 elixir spells (total elixir cost 235k).

Have you tried raid without pekkas?

I'm a TH9 in champs2 and I raid with giants, few wiz, some gobs, 2 witches, my heroes and my spells. Army costs is about 170k elix. I've been raiding people for generally 200-300k before the bonus.

I'll admit I'm probably a bit higher in league than I'd prefer. Masters1 and champs3 seemed better in comparison.

I use two army sets. When I want to farm elixir, then I make the 4 earthquake, 2 golems army. When I want to farm Dark Elixir, then I go all giants and use only elixir spells.

Th9's telling us how much loot you can find doesn't help. With the new changes as a th10-11 all you see if max th10-11 with a rare rushed base. Farming these means expensive armies hard to profit that way. We did get some really good things in this update but the fact that I can't farm anymore is really hurting my enthusiasm for the game I don't find trophy pushing fun or waiting 2-3 hrs to attack or nexting 50+ times fun either. I have seen a small amount of people saying the are doing better but from my personal experience I can't see how.

Try this strat. Aphrodi is a TH10

I'd swap out PEKKAS for wiz and throw in 4 EQ if you're trying to save up elixir.

Or try lavaloonion. I find that to be my cheapest elixir cost army comp.

[TullSadum]

I have no problem with elix, in champs3, but maybe that's because of the spells I use.

My army comp is
1 Golem....................... 675 (DE)
3 Pekkas.................. 36.000 each
10 Giants................... 3.000 each
12 Wizards................. 3.500 each
6 Wall Breakers........... 3.000 each
5 Archers.......................400 each
Spells
4 Quake...................... 160 each (DE)
1 Poison (rarely used)... 125 (DE)
2 Rage........................ 33.000 each

total cost is
elix ........ 266.000
de ............. 1.440

League win bonus varies between 50% and 70% destruction, at 50% I get
elix ........ 160.000
de ................ 976

I surely can make more than 106.000 elix per raid. I can find raids for 300k+ elix easily, but am farming DE right now (that explains the low DE expense in the army comp)
The 4 quakes save me two elix spells which is an elix reduction of at least 50.000 per raid.

Hope this helps some.

Have Fun
