Clash of Clans – Strategy When Both Dark Barracks Are Under Upgrade

I am sorry for myself not being clear last time, the fact is that when you are going to score dark elixir and save it u should do following things

1. firstly, (an easy one) make a base that protects de at the centre with a lot of splash damages around
2. normally peole use barchers but i recommend(if u have a capacity of 200) using 60 barbarian, 60 archers, 4 giants, 8 wallbreakers, and 44 goblins, and use three lightning spells

Strategy: take the lightning spells to damages at least on or( if near) more of the splash damage objects (like, wiz tower, mortars) and the clear up the others by distracting the defenses with giants and handling them with barchers, after all the splash damage defenses has been taken out, now u dont need to fear so, leave all of the troops at once, and they will sure get all the loot

remember: Never set out all the barchers or goblin troops when there are still splash damage objects around and especially goblins

relation to dark elixir: the relation od=f this strategy with dark elixir is that, even if u come across a very strong base but u can still use the lightning spell to grab some dark elixir from the storage and use few of the barchers to take something from the pump, i did the same until i had taken my heroes to lvl 5

The game's meta shifts pretty quickly, so unfortunately there's not just a few types of troops that you can upgrade and hope to be ready for every situation. My advice would be to practice some of the major strategies. When you come across one that is particularly effective and you can deploy it consistently, make sure you focus on unlocking the upgrades for that particular strategy first.

Let's be honest as well - for most people, the only thing that consistently pays out is collector farming with cheap armies. Clan wars and trashing bases for storages/trophies are nice for the "glory!" factor, but they're generally going to cost you resources, which costs you time and/or money.

That said, I'll try to cover a few types of attack that work well with the current meta, and what troops I personally prioritize:

• BARCH - this is the #1 farming strategy, hands down. You can throw in Minions and make it BAM if you want, but I find most of the time I get 80-90% of the resources out of a collector-heavy base with just barbs and archers.
• Giant/Healer/Wallbreakers - this is a decent strategy until around TH7 or so. By this point, bases are so large that giants really can't make it through the whole base, and the high level of ADs means that your healers won't last long.
• Mass Dragon + Rage - this is still a pretty good strategy for TH7-8, and maybe into the early stages of TH9. It's also really easy to deploy. I've tried being strategic before, and in wars I always find my cohorts who just drop a big mass of dragons get more stars than I do.
• Hogs - Hogs have been the subject of many nerfs recently, but they can still be effective if the base design permits it. Double big bombs and skeleton traps tend to do the most damage vs this strategy.
• Balloons + Minions (Ballonion) - This is a good strategy against bases where the AD is low level or improperly placed. You can also use dragons instead of minions if that suits you.
• Golem/Wizard/PEKKA (GoWiPe) - there are a bunch of high-end very high level DE troop strategies out there. I like GoWiPe, although I think GoWiWi (Golem/Wizard/Witch) is also popular. This is really for crushing bases that have a lot of stuff in storage, or clan wars if there's some really good reason to invest this much in resources.

Again, here, what I'd suggest is practice a new strategy, and if it works for you, then upgrade the troops. I'd also suggest upgrade everything before you bump your TH up, because you never know what the next meta will bring to previously useless troops. It's almost always easier to raid and save up for your upgrades at a lower TH than at a higher TH.
