Tips And Tricks For Farming In 2016

The recent December Patch made huge changes to the balance of the game, especially defensively, and what used to be an effective Clash of Clans farming strategy may now be completely worthless. In this article we’ll break down some farming tips that take advantage of the recent changes

Farming In COC

Move that Town Hall In
Exposing TH is now heavily penalised. If your attacker does less than 30% damage OR uses less than 33% of their troops, they can achieve a 1 star victory even though you will not receive a shield. This means you can get hit with many back to back raids before someone pounds you hard enough to buy you a shield, and all that hard earned loot will go to other Chieftains. To add insult to injury, your TH now holds a significant amount of loot so you are doubly incensed to keep it protected. This is probably what SuperCell always intended, but they’ve finally found some mechanics to put it into force. The time has come Chief – MOVE IN YOUR TOWN HALL!

Hunt Big Game
League bonuses make more worth it than ever to climb in rank while farming. Given that you have to take steps to protect your Town Hall already, you will gain more trophies defensively than you might expect. Work this to your advantage, and try to push up a few tiers from your more comfortable old farming grounds. At TH9 I found I was able to push to Masters and even Champions – something I would not have expected was ever within my reach. At those higher levels, pulling in 200-300k Gold/Elixir and 2500+ Dark Elixir per fight is common (especially when considering the league bonus). In my experience it now proves a more reliable way to pull in big gains than trolling the lower leagues in the hopes of finding abandoned or rushed bases in my range.



Maximize Shield and Guard Value


The new Shield and Guard system is another way that SuperCell has tried to shake things up. Instead of immediately losing a Shield, you can now attack and keep your Shield active for the cost of few hours of protection. You can also attack an unlimited amount once you get down to the last bit of protection called “Guard”. There are various nuanced ways you can schedule attacks to take advantage of this mechanic, but I find that generally its good to always be attacking. With League bonuses you should be hitting opponents for close to the resource cap every time you win, but troop costs will offset that slightly. Still, if you are lucky one attack should about offset what you’ll take from a loss, and the Shield mechanic allows you to get 3 and sometimes even 4 attacks before it completely runs out if you are obsessing and always ready when troop and spell training complete. Get those attacks in, and you’ll keep making farming progress toward your next big upgrade.



Leverage the Treasury

 The new Treasury is hands down the safest way to store mass quantities of resources. Clan level unlocks that expand its capacity make it even better. The loot available to attackers in the Treasury is a flat 3%, regardless of how much you have or what your attackers level is. At higher Clan Castle levels you can store millions of Gold/Elixir and 10k+ of Dark Elixir, and even when your base is wiped you lose only the tiniest fraction. As you grind to save for those expensive upgrades, leave your resources in the Treasury until it is absolutely full.



Remember The Old Ways

One of the few farming tips that still applies from the 

pre-December 2015 era, is that it is still not a good idea to have huge quantities of all 3 resources. If anything, this has become even more the case because big fish will be swimming in your league at all times and it is much harder to get a cheap shield and hide from them. The more full your coffers get, the more of a target you become for a 100% from one of the big boys. Try to keep at least one resource low, and ideally two if you can manage it. That way at least some of the toughest attackers may seek juicer prey and if you are lucky a plucky minnow might bash his face on your defences without taking to much of your candy.
