Dark Elixir Farming Strategies

Dark Elixir is the rarest and most precious resource in Clash of Clans and with the constant attacking and defending every Clasher has to save for upgrades.

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. Your Heroes are the ones making a difference in each attack and lots of defenses and upgrading them is vital. In this post, I want to show you some ways to farm Dark Elixir to gather the needed Dark Elixir for your upgrades.

I have noticed that most players have troubles with farming DE so I’ve just decided to write this small guide for you guys!

Dark Elixir Farming strategy

Before we get to the details, let’s simply put our goals together, so we don’t forget what we’re up to:

• Get the highest possible amount of Dark Elixir per hour

Ok, that sounds reasonable but how will we achieve this? Simply when

• Using a composition of Troops that is created quite fast to have lots of attacks
• The Troop composition should not cost any Dark Elixir because that’s what we want to earn
• Get the most Dark Elixir per raid we can get

That’s easy, isn’t it? Now we “simply” have to work through this list step by step, and everything is fine. No worries, I already did this for you so you can relax and simply watch the video that I came up with and simply do it 

Troop composition to farm Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7 to Town Hall 9

You should use a strategy called “Gobline Knife” and it’s the best for TH7 to TH9. It’s fast to train, quite cheap and also doesn’t need your Heroes since you’ll be upgrading them anyway.

I recommend you to use:

• Giants (about 8 of them on TH7/TH8 – 12-16 if you’re TH9)
• Wall Breaker (about 6 of them if you’re skilled, otherwise better 8)
• 30 Barbarians and Archers (mixed, 15 each)
• fill with Goblins (up to 90 of them)
• 1 Lightning Spell and 1 Rage Spells just in case (no Dark Elixir Spells because we want to save Dark Elixir!)

The battle plan is quite easy. You use your Barbarians and Archer to clear off structures on the outside so they will not distract your Giants; then your Giants will go towards the place where your path to the Dark Elixir is. In the meantime the Wall Breaker will split a hole open, and your Goblins take the Dark Elixir. 

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 your Town Hall .
I hope you can get your heros upgraded fast.

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