Hardcore farming/trophy raid

This raid requires a level 10 barracks, a level 2 dark barracks, a barbarian king and a level 3 spell factory.

Make sure to request for level 5 wizards.

This raid should take about 2 and a half hours to train.

I found this town hall level 9 base:

My main targets are the dark elixir buildings:

He has a level 1 air defense that is unguarded:

But he has a level 4 barbarian king so I will have to watch out for that.

I will start by deploying my cc troops next to the unguarded air defense:

Then I drop a P.E.K.K.A., and then another P.E.K.K.A.

Now I drop my hog riders:

 He has cc troops so I will have to clean them up with my cc wizards.

And now my dragons and a rage spell. It is good to have lots of troops out at the same time. That way the defenses will be overwhelmed.

Now I sit and watch:

Then I drop my barbarian king. Here's a bird's eye view of the battle:

After my barbarian king gets knocked out, I only have one more dragon:

And that's it!

Alternate farming raid strategy

This raid is a little more core than my last post. So for people who want more loot than trophies, this is the raid for you!


We will start by requesting for level 5 and up wizards.

 Then, we will train 18 wizards, 1 barbarian and 1 wall breaker.

Next, we will train 3 dragons.

 Now, this raid is about getting as much loot as possible so we will train 55 goblins.

Then we will train 5 more wall breakers.

Next up: spells. 2 healing spells and 1 rage spell.

This raid will not require the barbarian king but it is always a good idea to have him on hand.

Then, wait 2 and a half hours and the troop training and spell making should all be about done.

Now for the raid:

I found this town hall level 7 base with lots of gold and dark elixir:

There is only one active air defense. The other one is being upgraded.

Plenty of loot. I tried to pick my drop zone carefully. I decided to drop my troops on the west side of the village. That is the side with the active air defense so it will be easy to destroy it.

First, I drop some wizards:

These guys will clear the way for my goblins. Next I put down a healing spell and some wall breakers:

They have cc troops so I will have to take them out:

I drop my cc wizards to destroy them. My cc wiz are higher level than theirs so it should be fairly easy:

Now that the cc troops are down, I have to take out my next two targets. A wizard tower and the active air defense:

Now I need to take the gold. Man that wizard looks like lightning is coming out of his eyes :D

Now my goblins are ready to drop:

I drop a barbarian to destroy the air defense for good:

Now I can send out my dragons.

Rage dragons! The next targets of the bottom dragon are easy to spot.

Take out the gold!

Now take the last of the dark elixir. Those wizard towers are mean!

And that's about it!

This raid got me enough dark elixir to upgrade my barbarian king.

Next time: hardcore farming/trophy raid.
