Introdution

Hey Clashers! Hope your having a good day! Cause I'm not! The loot is horrible at the moment! In 4 hours of boosting I've found 3 collector bases! SERIOUSLY? LIKE WHAT? That is absolutely horrible! So I decided to farm dark elixir instead. I'm a Town Hall 8 with 200 spaces in my army camps. The only things that are level 5 of mine in this strategy are my barbs and archers. Thus, making it so that you can attack with TH 7 too. Let's get into it. I'll be providing my personal logs at the end for proof!

Strategy: 

• 12 Giants
• 12 Wall Breakers
• 40 Barbarians
• 76 Archers
• Clan Castle (anything)
• Barb King (helps a lot, but still possible without it)

I've been using this strategy at about 1350-1600 trophies. You want to attack bases that have 400+ dark elixir. This makes sure that you are making profit efficiently. You can 3 star some TH 7's, 1-2 star most TH 8's. I've not tested this strategy out on maxed TH 8's, just because I don't have the level 5 troops at the moment. With this strategy make sure that the dark elixir isn't behind 3 layers of wall, otherwise it's going to be hard to get it all. I usually attacked bases with the dark elixir storage behind 2 layers of walls. Now on to the execution of the strategy! 

Execution: 

1st Step - Lure the Clan Castle! If the clan castle is centralized, lure it out in the middle of the raid. Just use half of your troops to get the main job done. If it's not centralized, just use a barb or 2 to pop the troops out. Bring them to a corner, take em out with a couple of barbs and archers. 

2nd Step - Attack from the side closest to the dark elixir storage. Use all your barbarians to clear the outer buildings from that side. Deploy them in a line. You should have a couple of barbs left, just use them as support to clear the outer ring of buildings! The barbs are also used to trip any traps. If the barbarians didn't take out all the buildings, use a couple of archers to take out the buildings.

The red line shows the outer buildings. The blue shows where you should deploy your barbs.

3rd Step - Deploy your giants in the same spot, those 12 giants will take out a whole lot of defenses if used right. After you've deployed your giants, deploy two wall breakers! DON'T SPAM THE WALL BREAKERS. The wall breakers will get taken out by one mortar shell or a wizard shot. Deploy the wall breakers in groups of 2, this or groups of 1 (but quickly, but giants will lose more health this way). Keep deploying wall breakers until you've broken into the compartment with the dark elixir strategy!

4th Step - Once you've broken through the first layer, start deploying your archers in groups of 5-10. Deploy the groups every 3-5 seconds. This makes sure that the mortars can 1 shot your archers, don't spam them all at once, 1 shot from the mortars! KABOOM! All your archers are dead. If you have a barbarian king, I would deploy him in the middle of when you're deploying archers. The archers should get to the dark elixir storage if you use the strategy right. The archers will snipe the dark elixir with ease.

5th Step - Enjoy your dark elixir and use it to buy your barb king or use it to upgrade your barb king or your minions or your hogs or your valkyries. LOL!

In 4 hours of boosting I farmed 8,000 Dark Elixir! Use the 1 gem boost and horrible collector loot to your advantage for farming Dark Elixir!

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, dark elixir farming is hard at TH 7 & TH 8! It's not easy, your mainly going up against some TH 9's and TH 10's. But, we have something called rushers, they balance the game. That's where we make most of our DE income from. You could also use BAM or Balloonian to farm Dark Elixir. But, I don't think it's efficient to use dark elixir to farm dark elixir! You could also trophy push with this army, but it's weird if you TH snipe, you'll use 4 archers, since you have giants queued up first, it's going to train, giants. Anyway's back to the DE farming, hope you make some dark elixir! Hope you liked this post, leave a comment if you need a help or tip. Visit us for more posts and guides.

Barbarian King right ? Everyone want's to have him, but you are having trouble on gathering all that Dark Elixir because you reach to 8,000 elixir and then you get raided and go down to 7,000. Well not anymore because i'm going to learn you how to get that Dark Elixir to buy the Barbarian King.

Since the Halloween Update 2 days ago SuperCell added a limited time feature to boost the Spell Factory for 1 gem. We are going to use it on our favor, if you know what i mean . . .

Stealing Dark Elixir with Lightning Spell Strategy

How does this strategy work ? Simple, you need to have a Spell Factory, if you have it than you have the Lightning Spell too. Now since the Halloween Update and the 1 gem boost for Spell Factory you can make Lightning Spell faster and by that you can make more attacks and steal more dark elixir. This means that now instead of 20 minutes of waiting for a Lightning Spell you must wait only 5 minutes.

Step 1 - Boost you Spell Factory with 1 gem for 2 hours.

Step 2 - Create as much Lightning Spell as your Spell Factory can hold.

Step 3 - After your spells are finished go to attack. When you see a opponent with atleast 750 dark elixir simply attack his Dark Elixir Storage and if you want to keep your trophies just take 50%.

Step 4 - Repeat this for atleast 10 times and you are going to have enough dark elixir to buy Barbarian King.

Which trophy level should i stay?

Here is a list with the best trophy level to stay while doing this strategy :

1000 - 1500 trophies = in this level you will see people with atleast 250 dark elixir.

1500 - 2000 trophies = in this level you will see people regulary bases with more than 750 dark elixir.

2000+ = in this level almost every base will have atleast 1000 dark elixir available to steal.

Tips while doing this strategy :

1. Check you Defense Log list if there is anyone with a good amount of dark elixir to steal.
2. Check the Dark Elixir Drills because if they are full you can steal more than 75% of it.
3. Place your Dark Elixir Storage in a safe place inside of your base.
4. Plan you time when you can attack atleast 4 times in a row so you don't get raided.
5. Place your Town Hall outside the base, most of the times they will just take out your Town Hall.

Here are some of my raids with this strategy :
