I see a lot of purple/black walls when I find people with 100k in elixir and gold.

Usually gold mortars as well which 1 shot lvl 5 archers so that sucks

If you are raiding for elixer you don't need to kill off 70% of a town. You either need to find someone with 100k+ and full storage and go for the storage or find someone with 70k+ and empty storage and just raid their pumps with archers/gobs.

The hard part is raiding for Dark Elixer, because anybody with a decent amount of Dark Elixer usually has sick defenses.

Cheap way to protect Elixer.

When you go to sleep for the night, max out your army. Then fill up your barracks with wallbreakers.

Wake up the next morning and cancel all those wall breakers.

Many of the times you do just to reach the elixir storages that are sitting in the middle of the town and well protected. Maybe not at the lower level but at 60+ it is

So what are the best ways to level up in the beginning stages? I'm up to a Level 9 but can't really build anything new...only upgrade existing items. Should I just continue to attack other players?

Also, after you've been attacked and you have a shield, do any of you bother to wait until the shield is expired before attacking? It doesn't seem to me like it makes that much of a difference at this point for me. My troops can retrain fairly quickly and buildings also regenerate to full strength in a short amount of time. I'm thinking I just need to start blitzing other players as much as possible right now.

when you have 500k elixer it hardly makes a dent.

Get your defense up and that would be more helpful

Colonel- I always attack unless my builders are working on defense . The more I have in the vault of othe peoples money the better. Ill leave the shield up at night but durning the day when my defenses are ready ....ITS ON.

Not really. If it works out that I have a shield and I happen to be upgrading a bunch of defenses (defenses cannot attack while they are being repaired) or if I'm going to bed I will wait the shield out.

It gets to a point where you are forced to raid consistently if you want to upgrade to the higher levels. Thus waiting for the shield can hinder your progress.

I see. Well my builders are working on upgrading storage and mines. So, on the attack I go!

hi. welcome.

main things early on are to continually upgrade your gold and elixir storage, build a mortar in the middle of your village, and try to get a wall up of some sorts.

in the wall have your storage, townhall, and mortar. surround that with your other buildings.



to join the clan you will need 40k in gold to build the broken down clan castle around your village. it builds instantly, so it's basically having the 40k in gold.

once it's finished building, search for Tigerdroppings Clan, request an invite, and one of our admins or I will accept. mention your TD name in the request.

Everyone has different strategies....
I believe in leveling up storages/makers because at early levels you can steal a good bit and need a place to store it. Once you get to the 500-750k storages I can focus solely on walls/other defense.

Now I am not saying totally neglect your defense but you don't need to max it out while only being able to hold 50k in storage either. Finding a balance is key, and I try to keep storages 1 level ahead of what I will need for my defense.

So if I have a level 2 cannon I will have at least a level 4 storage, then I can upgrade my cannon to 3 and then storage again. Just to give you an idea.

wait till shield is almost done, usually less than 30 minutes left so I can milk my storages and give my builders more time. I also try and time my builders and shield. So if something takes 12 hours I will go attack a few times get my gold then start building and log off. So when I get back on in 11 hours or so I have a new builder and a new toy/defense.

So you would put cannons and archers outside of your walls?
