Farming bases will protect your loot, sounds reasonable right? Well, I’ve been searching a lot to update all the farming bases here to give you good suggestions which bases will really help you protect your loot.

What’s A Good Farming Base?

I don’t want to just throw base designs at you, so please let me explain you some things about farming bases before I will show you the layouts first.

A good farming base consists of different aspects but follows on the simple goal – protecting your Gold and (Dark) Elixir in the best possible way.

This sounds great in theory, but when looking at reality have you ever been doing an attack and not getting at least some Storages? Right, the first and most important lesson about farming bases is that they simply can’t protect everything and let you out of the defense without losing any resources – that’s simply not how the game is designed to be

Farming bases will help you protect certain loot (like Dark Elixir) or prevent that the attacker gets all your Storages easily – a good rule of thumb is that if your base consistently protects half of your storages it will work!

Half of it doesn’t sound good? Well, every storage can mean 100k of resources and when you multiply with the number of times you get attacked per day and then take a step back and look at how much every defended storage will help you save up resources you understand the real meaning of a farming base layout 

Farming vs Hybrid Base

I often discuss in the comments with people saying that the bases are bad because they are losing – so I ask what they are losing and it turns out that they mean trophies.

Farming bases are not intended to protect any trophies at all – the only reason why they protect the Town Hall is that inside the Town Hall there’s a noticeable amount of loot that you don’t want to give away for free.

Farming Base Layouts

Now check out the bases I have for you

Farming Base Town Hall 6 (TH6)

If you’re TH6, I recommend you to use this base to protect your resources from attackers. The sections in front of the storages will force troops away from the storages and help you protect some of them
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz

Farming Bases Town Hall 7 (TH7)

This first base here focus on defending your Dark Elixir and therefore has the Gold & Elixir Storage more outside. You will need plenty of Dark Elixir and this base will help you defend it.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
If you rather want to defend more, this second base primarily baits with the Town Hall in a semi-exposed location to get the attacker to come from the top and not get the central compartment with the storages.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
However, this base still has a weakness for those attackers going primarily after loot!

Farming Bases Town Hall 8 (TH8)

This first base will focus more on protecting your Dark Elixir, but you can also expect it to protect half of your other storages as attackers either come from the top or the bottom of this base
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
The second base here works great as an allrounder farming base that protects your Dark Elixir and your other resources as well. The entry point on top looks easy to get the Town Hall, a bit with all that defensive power troops will get too weak to even get to the middle area of the base.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
Attacking from the side will funnel the troops away, so this base is really nasty to attack

Farming Bases Town Hall 9 (TH9)

This base here will protect your Dark Elixir in the first place and also offers second layer protection for Gold.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
When watching the replays you can see very well that this base will keep troops out of the core where your Town Hall & Dark Elixir Storage is located. This works good for Balloons & Hog Rider, but also Bowlers can’t hit it with their second hit.

The other compartments will funnel the troops on the outside ring so you won’t lose that many storages in an attack.

When maxing out TH9, you will probably come to a point where you have everything maxed but you’re still busy upgrading your royals and need tons of Dark Elixir for that – this base will help you out as it has one of the toughest Dark Elixir protection possible at Town Hall 9.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
Attacking troops will get funneled to the outside and away from your Dark Elixir that is also protected by your defending heroes. The bottom side has an additional security feature with the tesla farm in front of the Town Hall.

Farming Bases Town Hall 10 (TH10)

This base makes funneling for the attacker quite difficult and your defenses will do the rest

Enough attackers will simply fail to build a solid funnel and watch their troops walk around the core of the base without touching the core area.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
Looking for a base that protects your Dark Elixir & other resources? This base works great  The Air Sweeper keep the core area clean from Balloons and it will be hard for an attacker to funnel in cleaning troops for that area. You should check out the replays I have linked below the base layout to see how well this base design is working.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz

Farming Bases Town Hall 11 (TH11)

This base here will help you protect your resources due to two reasons – the Dark Elixir is protected in the core that lots of attacks will not go into due to bad funneling and the storages are spread around the outside ring so it’s not likely that the attacker will get through the whole ring within the 3 minutes available.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
This base has multiple pitfalls the attacker can fall for. The outside perimeter is not very easy to come by with a Queen Charge and just getting the walls open will not always mean she will go into the compartment. This can mess up the funnel building against this TH11 farming base.
Farming Base Layouts with Loot Protection | TEC Clashzz
All around the base, the point defense damage is keeping the pressure high and exploits any moment of bad concentration of the attacker

Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
The offense can win games, but defense wins championships – or in our case, Clan War Base Designs win Clan Wars. Most of you may focus on getting as many stars as possible, but did you realize that you also could have won your last war if your opponent got a few stars less than they actually got? Sure there is no base that can prevent a 3-Star against a million tries, but the more your opponents have to try to 3-Star your base, the fewer attacks they have left to collect stars in Clan War.

Protecting your base’s stars with a Clan War Base Design that rocks are just as important as successfully squeezing out as many stars out of your opponent as possible.

How Clan War Bases Work

Often times people think that Trophy Bases and War Bases are the same – both are intended to prevent that you lose stars, but that’s a huge mistake!
Trophy Bases try to get the attacker on the wrong foot and use the momentum of surprise with the short scouting time & maybe not optional troop setups plus the surprise of defending Clan Castle troops to make the attacker fail.

War Bases, however, can’t do that because after the first attack every attacker knows several trap locations and what troops will leave your Clan Castle. Also, your opponent can scout your base for hours and even see the exact defending radius by selecting the building.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
You see that this makes a huge difference and the approach to Clan War is a different one. You don’t want to prevent the 1-Star or 2-Star, you want to prevent the 3-Star because those 3-Stars will win the war!

This is the idea behind a good War Base and you will give away your Town Hall quite cheap but design the core of your base in a way that will either take down all attacking troops or make the attacker run out of time!

Clan War Anti 3-Star Base Layouts

Now I have been putting together the best Clan War Bases here (and update them frequently like once every month).

War Bases Town Hall 7 (TH7)

This first base for Town Hall 7 for Clan War will work great against the two main attacks your base has to defend against – Dragons and Giants.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
This base uses the large spaces between the buildings in the outside compartments to cloak your traps very well in the path of attacking ground troops. The Air Defenses are arranged in the sections that are impossible to be reached with Dragons right away, they will spread to the up and bottom side of the base while getting shot at by the Air Defenses.

Are you sick of seeing your base getting wrecked by Dragon attacks? This second base is your solution because it’s impossible to destroy it with a mass Dragon attack.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
The general layout will drag the Dragons to the left and right while being in the range of the Air Defenses all the time – this will make them go down extremely fast. The Storages also keep them busy for a while with their loads of hitpoints – a good stronghold for your next Clan War

War Bases Town Hall 8 (TH8)

This first base layout here will serve you well with the dead zones in between the compartments and extremely solid trap placement.

The corner compartments serve as bulkheads with the Storages to hold back troops and keep them in the damage radius of the other defenses.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
The Hidden Tesla Farm around the Town hall will block any kind of cheap suicide run for the Town Hall and force the attacker to invest more troops than he would like to invest.

This second base holds up great against Dragon or Balloon setups with the Storages in between slowing air troops down while the Air Defenses do their job taking them down
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
This TH8 War Base design is great if your base gets taken down by airborne troops frequently.

War Bases for Town Hall 9 (TH9)

This first base here protects the defending Queen very well and makes it extremely hard to take her out with a Queen Charge.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
In the defensive replays I linked above you’ll see several cases where even TH10 or TH11 attackers couldn’t beat this base with Dragons or Valk

This second base is a great all-around holding up against Hog Rider, Witches, Valkyrie & of course, LavaLoon combinations with the resource bank at the bottom in front of the defending Archer Queen.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
Pulling the Clan Castle is almost impossible and just a few Hogs will not do this because the outline defenses will take them down easily and the attacker has either to waste more troops or make a new attacking plan in a short time (that will very likely fail).

War Bases Town Hall 10 (TH10)

Let’s start with a very solid Anti 3-Star layout – it will force the attacker with Queen Charge to attack from the top due to the unreachable Inferno Tower in Single Mode at the bottom – the Seeking Air Mines will make that Queen Charge a short one and in case the attacker uses Bowlers he will fail at the middle of the base unable to get 3 stars.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
If your base often gets attacked by Queen Charge & Bowler or Hog Rider attacks, this base is probably your best choice 

This second base here works great against Valkyries but also other attacking compositions with Golems. The general layout of the compartments will split up the troops and take them down merciless one by one before they can even reach the middle.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
Also, the CC is extremely hard to lure and the defending Queen is so deep inside the base that any suicide attack will fail to take her down early in the raid.

War Bases Town Hall 11 (TH11)

This first base hold damage on all kind of attacks that use Healers (and there’s none working that doesn’t) high and the Air Defenses are in very uncomfortable spots for the attacker – so there’s a high chance that the Queen Charge will fail and make the whole raid not get 3-Stars.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
The defending Heroes along with the Clan Castle are deep inside the base, so there’s no easy way to avoid running with the whole army into them.

This second base makes it hard for the attacker to build a proper funnel into the center of the base.
Clan War Base Design for Winner | TEC Clashzz
Even when the funnel is created, the base will still split up troops and this is the part where it gets very bad for the attacking troops due to the high damage a Town Hall 11 base offers.

Please comment below, If you have any suggestions.

Trophy Pushing is one of the basic parts of the game, climbing the ladder, showing off how far you can get Ok, I admit trophy pushing is sometimes frustrating and the higher end of the ladder is not always a sunny place, but I will show you in this guide here what it takes to push trophies, why you should push trophies (at least from time to time) and what attacking strategies will get you to the top.

What Trophy Pushing is all about

Let me start off by telling you that trophy pushing is something that every Clasher will do at one point in the game for some good reasons – for some they only go for trophy pushing, but trophy pushing indeed has some advantages that you don’t want to ignore.

League Bonus! The higher the league, the higher the League Bonus you will earn with every attack. This sounds simple, but just multiply your daily attacks with the extra resources and you will see that there’s a lot more you can earn.
Extra Gems! Reaching Master League (1,000 Gems) & Champions League (2,000 Gems) will reward you with a ton of extra Gems, so pushing once to Champions League is mandatory as it will get you a 5th Builder or a ton of extra Gems.

Village Guard! In the higher Leagues, you will get a longer Village Guard – the Village Guard will protect your base from attacks while you can attack yourself without any deduction of the Guard. This means you can get in additional 2-3 attacks after your shield ran out and get a lot more trophies & loot every day. This Guard can be up to 4 hours!
So you see, trophy pushing will also help you farming and make your life easier in Clash of Clans

Is Trophy Pushing only for TH11 end game Clashers?

Often times, trophy pushing is associated with end-game or TH11 gameplay, but as you have seen above the benefits are real for every player plus you will practice attacking all kind of setups and practice attacking for Clan Wars or just in general to become a more solid Clasher

How does Trophy Pushing work?

Trophy Pushing has two parts – one is attacking and not losing trophies in your attacks and the other one is defending.

Trophy Pushing Attacking Strategies

Now let’s talk about the attacking part of trophy pushing.
If you visit this website frequently, you know that I often post attacking guides here, but not every attacking composition is that useful for trophy pushing.

You want a strategy that is able to hit as many bases as possible so you can do your daily attacks without waiting in the clouds and nexting all the time until you find an “easy” base you can hit.

Also, you will need a strategy that works consistently enough that you don’t lose attacks, even if you make small mistakes.

Look at this here:

You can see how one messed up attack can ruin you a lot of successful attacks!

That’s the reason why you need to be prepared and use a strategy that will prevent this happening.

Trophy Pushing vs Clan War Strategies

In Clan War, you have a lot of time scouting a base and even check out the exact radius of each defense, CC etc. plus you might even have info what’s in the Clan Castle or where traps are from a previous attack.

In return, war bases are specifically designed to not prevent a 1-Star, they want to prevent the 3-Star.

That’s the important difference as while trophy pushing you only have 30 seconds to prepare your attack and you won’t be able to tailor an army for the attack but use the one you have brought.

Also, the execution is different as many war bases have an offset Town Hall that you can easily get but an extremely tough core area.

The attacking strategies that work in clan war are quite similar to their trophy pushing counterparts, but the execution is different.

While war bases are different a lot of times, you will run into similar base setups in trophy pushing all the time.

Trophy Pusher Attacking Strategies

Now let’s take a look at the different strategies I have been putting together for you:
  • GoWiVa (TH8 – TH9)
  • BoValks (TH9 – TH11)
  • DragLoon (TH7 – TH11)
  • B*Witch with Miners (TH10 – TH11)
I know there are multiple more strategies, but those are the major ones that I think will set you up right now

GoWiVa (TH8 – TH9) Golem, Wizards & Valkyries

The general idea of this strategy is that you will use your Golems along with your Wizards to clean one side of the base to build your funnel. Then you open up the core area with the Earthquake Spells & send in your raged Valkyries to slice through the core like a hot knife through a piece of butter while the rest of your troops will gain you more percentage.

Troop Composition:
  • 2 Golems
  • 12 Wizards
  • 1 PEKKA (helps cleaning)
  • Fill with Valkyries (should be 8+)
  • 1-2 Rage Spell
  • 1 Heal Spell
  • 4 Earthquake Spells

When scouting bases, you always want to look out for bases that you can easily open up with your Earthquake Spells, like that:
Then you will drop your Golems along with your Golems and once the outside trash buidings are cleaned it’s time to send in your Valkyries and drop your Rage Spell & Heal Spell in the core – that will let them destroy the core completely and you’re set for a solid 2-Star victory

BoValk (TH9 – TH11) Bowlers & Valkyries

This strategy is expensive in Dark Elixir but also very powerful, especially against the ring bases you see everywhere.

You will use a Queen Walk on one side and some Bowlers with your King on the other side to create a wide funnel to the core where you will send in your Valkyries.

Troop Composition:
  • 5 Healer
  • 8 Wall Breaker
  • 2 Baby Dragons
  • 6-8 Bowler
  • 10 Valkyries
  • 4 Rage Spells
  • 1 Jump Spell
  • Poison Spell

This strategy work great against ring bases 

So, you will start your Queen Walk at one corner to one side and then your Bowlers with your Barbarian King to the other side to get something like that:
With all the Rage Spells, don’t hesitate to use them on your Queen & Bowlers if necessary, you will only need one to get the core down

Once your funnel is set (you see that when the closest core building is the closest building when you draw a line), you can send in your Valkyries to the core with an upfront Jump Spell.

Now you only need to drop your Rage Spell in the core and see how the Valkyries will take it down in a few seconds

DragLoon (TH7 – TH11)

Let’s come to one of the most popular and all-time classic trophy pushing strategy (and also the only one here that won’t shrink your Dark Elixir that much).

Attention TH7 & TH8! You just skip the Queen Walk part

You’ll perform a Queen Walk at the start and try to get one Air Defense and maybe the defending Queen.

Troop Composition:
  • 4 Healer
  • 4-6 Dragons
  • 10 Balloons (+ fill your CC with Balloons)
  • 5-8 Wall Breaker
  • 2-4 Rage Spells
  • 1 Clone Spell
  • 1 Poison Spell
You’ll start your attack with a Queen Walk into the Air Defense and clean off one corner part of the base. You can also add one or two Balloons to support your Queen and make that faster (but check the reach of the Air Defense first!)
After that, it’s time to send in your Dragons & Balloons full forces to crush the base.
The Dragons will tank for the Balloons, the Balloons will take defenses down and you will get your victory without a doubt

You just support them with Rage Spells & make sure to clone Balloons in the last part of the raid when you see there’s not many of them left

B*Witch With Miners (TH10 – TH11) Bowler & Witches

Probably one os the most used one for trophy pushing in the higher leagues and working also very effective against the ring base design you see there all the time.

You will build your funnel and then send in your forces. The Skeletons will distract defenses or stack up to deal a lot of damage while the Bowlers hit the second line structures and Healers keeping everyone alive.

So this strategy works well against ring bases as you will keep everyone alive and clean up while your Miners will approach the core.

Troop Composition:
  • 5 Healer
  • 5 Wall Breaker
  • 10-14 Bowler
  • 10 Miner
  • 3 Witches
  • 3 Rage Spells
  • 1 Jump Spell
  • 1 Heal Spell
  • 1 Poison Spell

You will start your Queen Walk in one corner and then start adding your Bowlers & Witches to it.
Your advantage is that the Healer will not just keep your Queen alive, they will also start healing the Bowlers which makes this group strong enough to clear the outside ring effective enough to get you the secure 1-Star.

Once you got half of the base cleared, you can take a shot for the core with your Miners. Drop your heal Spell in there, but most defenses are busy targeting your Bowler/Witch/Heroes pack so this should do it for the core
That’s it and will guarantee you the 1-Star and can give you the 3-Star

Last Trophy Pushing Tips

Ok, we got base layouts, general strategies & attacking strategies set – here are some final tips that I can give you

Work with Shields

Everyone has different schedules – some can do frequent attacks during the day, others can only attack in the morning once and a couple of times during the evening. It’s critical that you start using attacks as often as possible –  scouting plus attacking takes about 5-7 minutes, it’s often possible to do attacks, even if you’re busy during the day!

Keep the motivation up

Trophy Pushing can be hard sometimes and it’s easy to lose focus.

Set yourself small goals, like winning a certain amount of attacks each day. From my experience, don’t set yourself goals like gaining 30 cups per day, because then you might go for an attack to fulfill that goal and might screw up the attack.

It’s always your primary goal to NOT lose an attack. Gaining only a few trophies from a secure attack is better than losing a lot by going after a base that will reward a lot of trophies!

Defending CC Troops

Don’t forget to request defending Clan Castle troops before you end a session (or after an attack). Clan Castle troops can make the difference in defending trophies!

Conclusion

Trophy Pushing is nothing you do in a couple of days. If you’re doing it, for whatever reason you do it, you first have to be aware that it requires a lot of time.

Setting yourself daily goals helps a lot – Just set something that is realistic, like “today I will gain 10 Stars” or “I want to win 3 attacks every day”. The most important thing is that these goals are realistic because not being able to hit them will be negative motivation.

Good luck with pushing and have fun!

Giant Healer is definitely one of the most notable strategies and the very first powerful strategy in Clash of Clans. People use it a lot, for both farming and Clan Wars, at Town Hall 6 and 7.

The key of this strategy is to keep your Giants alive so they can take down as many defensive buildings as possible and all support troops behind them will be safe while working on normal structres.

Things to consider while using Giant Healer strategy

  • Always locate the Air Defense positions of the base you are going to attack.
  • Don’t use Lightning Spells to take out Air Defenses in this strategy. You probably want to use 2 Healing Spells + Rage Spells instead. The enemy Air Defenses can’t touch your Healers If you place your Giants properly.
  • Don’t split your Giants into 2 or more groups as your Healers and Healing Spells are limited, they can’t cover the whole base at the same time.
  • The Rage Spell can skyrocket your Healer’s buff. Use it wisely and your Healers can buff your Giants to full HP in seconds.
  • Your Healers don’t trigger any any trap, except the Skeleton Traps. As far as I know, most players in game set their Skeleton Traps to ground so you don’t need to care about this much.
  • Always check and lure the Clan troops at first as they can ruin your attacks anytime!

Giant-Healer Army Composition

Scouting: When attacking a base, you should lure the Clan troops to the corner and kill them first. If you are about to do a Clan War attack, after taking Clan troops out, drop your Archers next to the Builder Huts on the corner If there is any. Sometimes, people forget these Huts and just don’t have enough time to get that 100% win. Killing Clan troops is extremely important. Never forget to do this first!

When you go with Giant-Healer, you always want to attack from the side closest to the Air Defense and it is a priority you want to take out first. If your Healers are not getting hurt, your Giants will be alive. Also, you will not want to attack from the side which is being protected by Air Sweeper.

Below is an example for you. I would spend my Giants for the left Air Defense and use my Hog Riders to destroy the top Air Defense.
After that, It’s time to deploy your main army. Drop your Giants first as they are going to soak damage, protect troops behind and take down enemy defensive buildings. Drop 1-2 Giant first to test for Spring Traps. I have seen a lot of players sending all of their Giants in just a few seconds and they all get blown way by Spring Traps. By drop 1-2 Giant first and wait for a few seconds, your whole Giant army will be safe!

Once your Giants start hitting the wall, play your Wall Breakers. Beware the enemy Mortars and Wizards as they can kill your Wall Breakers anytime. Play time wisely! You may want to use your Wall Breakers to open more than 1 compartment and the Air Defense will be one of the first buildings your Giants going to attack.

The image below shows you how many Wall Breakers you need to use in order to break a decent wall level. For instance, you need 2 Wall Breakers level 3 in order to break Golden Walls.
Once the enemy Air Defense is destroyed, drop your Healers. Just use your Healing Spell on your Giants If needed to take out the Air Defense. The second Healing Spell will be effectively used to help your Hog Riders later to insure they live for the whole attack.

Just drop the second Healing Spell when your Hog HP is about 50%. Drop it on the large group of defense your Hogs are going to attack. As they target only defensive building and they bypass walls, it’s pretty easy to predict what are their next targets. Otherwise, just drop the Healing Spell on the top of them while they are attacking with 50% HP.

For example, my Hogs will move to the core after destroying the top Air Defense:
When all defenses are down on one side, you can start deploying your Wizards to take down unprotected buildings quickly.

Okay guys thank you very much for reading this. Do you have any question about the Giant Healer strategy? Don’t hesitate to ask!

From Town Hall 7, you can earn and use new resource in Clash of Clans, which is called Dark Elixir, which is for training new dark troops and buy your first Hero, the Barbarian King. Getting Dark Elixir is one of the highest priority at not only Town Hall 7 but also all other higher levels.

Farming Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7 is much harder than higher Town Hall levels because you can’t take much from other TH7 villages, TH6 is easy to raid but they don’t have DE and it is pretty hard to raid DE from TH8s. Moreover, TH7 players still don’t have much experience to break inside a Town Hall 8 base. I have noticed that most TH7 players have troubles with farming DE so I’ve just decided to write this small guide for you guys!

Farming Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7


Method #1 – Easiest

This farming army is the weakest but also the cheapest and quires just a little time for training troops. The main targets of this farming army composition are inactive bases with uncollected Gold Mines, Collectors and Dark Elixir Drills outside.


As I said above, this army composition is just useful for farming Dark Elixir in uncollected DE Drills outside the bases. Of course that you can break inside but with TH7 troops, it is be a hard job unless the base you attack has at least 2 Mortars being upgraded.

Before starting with this method, you should read this post to learn recognizing inactive bases with uncollected mines/collectors.

If you are at Bronze/Silver leagues, give it a try to go to either Gold II or I league to find DE easier. You also should read this guide to see when is the best time for farming in game, when you can find inactive bases easily. For searching easier, you can use Xmodgames and set the minimum Gold and Elixir to 150k(inactive bases usually have more than this).

Method #2 – Most effective


This is the best army composition for farming Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7 IMO. It is not too cheap and not too expensive, consumes a decent amount of time for training troops but very fun and effective. To use this strategy, you must upgrade your Giants and Healers to their maximum levels at Town Hall 7 to increase the chance of surviving and winning.

Giants, Healers and Wizards are 3 main troops of this strategy. Deploy your Giants at first and followed by 2 Healers. While Giants are taking damage and being healed buy the Healer, your Wizards and other troops are taking down nearby buildings without being hurt. You can replace all Archers and Barbarians with Wizards but that will cost more Elixir and training time.

Remember:
  • Always check the enemy Clan Castle at first. Most TH7 and newer players usually miss this important step. If you don’t check and kill the enemy Clan castle, they can ruin your attacks anytime.
  • If the enemy Barbarian King is outside, kill him with your Archers and Barbarians.
  • If you have Barbarian King, always use him to skyrocket your farming speed.
  • If you see any Air Defense that can be destroyed by your Archers and Barbarians, destroy it to protect your Healers later.
  • Attack from the sides which is not protected by Air Defenses. If that base has symmetrical Air Defense placements, attack from the side which is the closest to the Dark Elixir Storage.
  • If the Mortars and Wizard Towers are at outer ring, wait your Giants destroy them before deploying your Wizards and Archers.
  • Always place Giants before Wall Breakers and don’t massively send your Wall Breakers at a time, 2-3 Wall Breakers are enough.
  • If your Giants’ healthbar turn to red, don’t hesitate to drop your Healing Spells. Without Giants, your attack will be end within seconds.
  • This strategy is a mini GoWiPe (a popular strong army composition at higher TH levels) . By using this farming strategy, you will have a decent experience of using GoWiPe.
By using the farming strategy above, there is no reason to can’t get inside any TH7 and 8 base. Basically, even with just the number of Giants and Wizards above, you can farm DE easily.

Method #3 – Before sleeping


Before sleeping, train Dragons in all of your Barracks and 3 Lightning Spells.

This strategy takes a lot of time for training troops so train troops when you are busy and at mid-late Town Hall 7, when you don’t need much Elixir for upgrading buildings and troops.

By dropping 3 Lightning Spells on a Air Defense to destroy it, you can take down all other TH7 bases. An Dragon army is the most powerful composition at Town Hall 7.
Moreover, by using this strategy, you will know how Dragons work better, understand their moves and prepare for your attacks with Dragons in Clan Wars in the future. Maybe this guide about Dragons will be helpful for you!

Conclusion

Farming well is not enough, you need to also protect your resources well. Take a look at the Base Layouts section for the best farming base layouts for Town Hall 7.
I hope after reading this guide, you can choose the best time, the best league and best strategy for farming Dark Elixir and I hope you can get the level 5 Barbarian King after a week.

Don’t hesitate to ask me any question, I will try my best to help you!

Dealing with Clan Castle Troops is a key skill you must have in Clash of Clans if you really want to get positive long-term results. Clan Castle troops can make a difference between victory and loss. I constantly see people dealing with Clan Castle troops the wrong way, so I decided to write this full guide with all you need to know.

When dealing with Clan Castle troops, there are always two different parts – first is pulling them from the Clan Castle and the second is how you actually take them out.

Attention! There is not one single way to deal with Clan Castle troops in Clash of Clans. I want to show you several different ways and how to use them, depending on the situation you’re encountering.

Pulling Clan Castle Troops (Luring)

In order to deal with Clan Castle troops, you will need to get them out of the Clan Castle. That’s common sense, but you won’t always lure the Clan Castle troops out to take them down before you perform your main attack.

The decision depends on multiple things:
  • What’s in the Clan Castle? (Troops that can harm my main attack, like a Dragon when I am using Loons, etc.)
  • Do I know that the Clan Castle is filled? (Clan War vs. Multiplayer Attacks)
  • Can you lure the Clan Castle? (Without investing too many troops)
These questions create an almost unlimited number of situations. From my experience, I would say that in Clan Wars you should always try to get the Clan Castle troops out of your way in 90% of the cases (more on that below). In Multiplayer Attacks you can assume that the Clan Castle is not filled in 8 out of 10 cases. Even if it’s filled, you don’t know what’s in there, so you can’t prepare. Simply take a Poison Spell with you and hope for the best, which works fine most of the time.

Rule of Thumb: In Clan War you should try to get the CC troops cleaned up before your attack (if possible), in regular Multiplayer Attacks take a Poison Spell and hope you don’t need it (most times you don’t)

A little change of perspective, but I hope that you request defending troops in your Clan Castle yourself. Do you? If not, read this guide here as well:


Trivia! Clan Castle troops always leave the Clan Castle in the order they are located in the Barracks, not the order they got donated. It’s always Barbs, then Archers, then Giants, then Goblins, etc. (the order they unlock).


 This is not ground breaking, but I this is a good spot to mention this fact. :) simple smile

Trigger the Clan Castle

Alright, let’s assume that you want to get the troops out, so all you have to do is to get a troop inside the radius for as long as it takes all troops to leave the Clan Castle. The last part is the essential one – if you just “dip-trigger”, you risk some troops being left inside the Clan Castle and will go after troops in your main attack.

While scouting in Clan War, you can check the radius of the Clan Castle easily by just selecting it.


Normally, you take 2 Hog Riders to go after a defense inside the radius and this will trigger the Clan Castle troops.

In the example above, you can see that there’s no point where we can enter the radius with Hog Riders. (Well, you could try it at the Cannon at the top, but the Hidden Tesla would force us to invest a lot more troops).

In this case, you should use a Golem along with some Wall Breakers.

The important thing is that you need to find a point where you can trigger the Clan Castle – and, in most cases, it’s a defense.

The trend in the past months has been bases like the one I’ve shown you above. You need a Golem and Wall Breakers to enter the base. While in the past there may have been only one or two good entry points to trigger the Clan Castle, we can now select it ourselves.

This makes it a great opportunity to get the most out of it, at least we’re investing quite some housing space and time on the clock for it.

It should be obvious to take what we can get with this first squad. I’m not talking about buildings or defenses, I am talking about Heroes as well. Always try to not simply lure the Clan Castle troops, also try to get at least one Hero (preferably the Archer Queen) taken down.


This is a great example, there’s no way we can lure the Clan Castle with 2 Hog Riders, so we set up a Golem along with some Wall Breakers and supportive troops behind (like 5-7 Wizards) that will take down the Archer Queen and the defending Clan Castle troops.

What Troops?

In Clan War, you most likely know what is inside the Clan Castle. Either because you are the second attack or because you’ve seen what is inside the other enemy war bases.  Now you can choose what kind of setup you will use.
  • Golem, Wall Breakers, Wizards (mixed Clan Castle troops)
  • Hog Rider, Wizards/Archer (Dragon, Lava Hound)
Also, don’t forget that the Queen Walk is still a nice way to build a funnel and also clean the Clan Castle troops. Don’t forget to bring some Rage Spells and a Poison Spell.

Conclusion

Dealing with Clan Castle troops is tricky due to so many possible scenarios, but with some experience and calm thinking you’ll be able to get them out of your way. Just make sure to scout carefully in Clan War and always keep in mind that there could be some “surprises” left for you if there’s only one spot to start.
