March 21, 2016  Kick Report

Akn - new member #2 in war was kicked by kev for poor war attacks, 0 stars.  also he was a rushed TH10.

Mitch - kicked by golgon for multiple infractions: not donating (0 donated / 176 received), ignoring requests (he requested and ignored open requests before his), and only using 1 attack in multiple wars, and attacking a th7 (lowest base) when he is a th9 (#8 attacking #20).

ko ok - new member was kicked by star for leeching, non-existent donations.  one failed war attack

rajesh - new member #15 in war left in the middle of war without using his attacks.

Soumya - left to visit a friends clan for a few days

Kev & Kev2 - left to join a UK based serious war clan.  we spoke at length and it was a difficult decision for him and he will certainly be missed.  I sincerely wished him the best because he has worked hard in this game and deserves the best.  with his heroes and THs maxed he wants to focus on warring and war to win.

Our clan is inconsistent in warring for a number of reasons.

• We allow new member to join wars before vetting them
• Many do not attack wisely and do not follow war rules
• People do not get 3 stars and we need to do cleanup because:
• They attack higher than their own base number
• They attack higher than their own TH level
• They do not use the best war army
• They do not study 3 star war attack strategies
• Some people (mostly new members) do not use both of their war attacks.

We have several great warriors in our clan who excel in war and it is just a matter of having the best squad go to war together and having quality over quantity.  If we take anyone and everyone it is very difficult to match up against strong war clans that are only bringing their best squad and usually no new members.

Dark Elixir Raiding Tips & Tricks

Hey guys, as we all know, at high level play your heroes and dark troops make a huge difference.  With that said we have a special treat for you today:

Here are some great tips from Kev on Dark Elixir Farming to save you time and make your raids most efficient.  With max level 40 heroes and almost 6.5 million DE raided in his Heroic Heist achievement he is a master thief when it comes to DE.  So heed his advice along with some hard work and you'll be well on your way to keeping that DE storage full and heroes upgraded.

Golgon asked for a guide on DE raiding, but this is not a simple thing to do as every base is different and we are all at different levels. However, here's some things I use to do and can be used as things to consider

1. Use a cheap and quick army to raid with, for example 8 Giants, 8 Wallbreakers, 24 Goblins, 60 Archers and 60 Barbs uses 200 spaces and takes about 20 mins to make, so you can raid more often in the time you have.

2. Base selection, don't be afraid to use next button to get the right base. I looked for a minimum of 1000 DE and without xbows where possible.

3. Check where the DE is, as often the DE store will be in the centre of the base and the DE drills in separate compartments. Don't target the DE Store if there are empty xbows, as the store is likely to be empty too. The collectors have a glass container on the top to show how full they are, target your forces appropriately.

4. Check what you are raiding for, you cant go for Gold, Elix, DE AND Trophies, so other upgrades can/may be delayed or hampered

5. The attack, as per all attacks, try to draw CC and kill them in a corner with few archers. They probably know you're after their DE, so check for Giant Bombs and traps, drop just 1/few Barbs to test way is clear. Deploy Giants and couple of Wallbreakers at a time to break a path way in with some Archers and Barbs behind. Don't bunch them up too much as Mortars can kill a pile of weak armies with the splash damage. Once the DE store pathway is there, then drop the Goblins, just a couple to start with to ensure no further bombs on route. 

6. With the latest update, the Town Hall now also stores DE, so if it's on the outside or on route to the DE store, its worth taking out (especially as it will also help in keeping your trophies up)

7. Save your Hero's to the end of the attack and use them briefly to maybe take out a drill, boost it and end the game saving as much life as possible. It will take 20 minutes to rebuild the army, so if you don't use it all, you'll have him for the next attack. However, if the DE Store has over 2k DE then it may be worth sending him in earlier to help ensure you get the loot.

8. Remember to keep your camps building the next set of armies before you raid, so by the time you've finished raiding, you'll saved a few minutes and maybe get an extra attack in.

You can also get DE in your Loot Bonus if you in Crystal league, not sure if this is worth it with the new update as you'll need to get 50%+ to get a portion of the bonus.

With my TH10 base, I was collecting up to 200k DE before the previous AQ/BK had finished (7 days), so it is possible to have your hero on constant upgrade (but I never used DE troops) and I also opted out of War as I had a hero on upgrade.
