I agree with setting xbows in ground only for farming. If someone wants to use drags or looinion attack to get me, go for it. It rarely happens. I almost never get hogged either, but again if someone wants to use that huge army to get at my resources, they can. My main objective in a farming base is to defend my DE and half my storages vs l6/7 giant and barch attacks. Those are 95% of the attacks that you'll see.

I suggested witches to wannabe, but he isn't in a warring clan. Those are of no use to him outside of war.

Personally, i prefer upgrading Wiz Towers prior to mortars. The dark purple is a huge deterrent, and they can still 1 shot l5 archers and fire much faster. I tend to find mortars too slow. By the time they hit the ground, any strong barch attack will have moved and the mortar whiffing. I set mortars back to be in range of the second level where they troops bunch up/funnel at the 2nd level walls.

Upgrading the AD early is more for war i guess. But it's still good for healer/giant attacks.

Spell factory i think should be one of the first things to upgrade. Not only for war, but for farming. It allows you to raid longer without having to wait for spells. I typically hold 4 heal spells with my giant/barch attacks. usually using 1 heal per raid if needed.

I've been TH9 for about 2 months, and ever since my xbows maxed, i almost never get hit for DE (sans the lightning zaps when i held 120k) and rarely do i get 50%'d. Maybe 1 in 100. Most just TH snipe.

Biggest deterrents with a farming base IMO are black xbows, and dark purple wiz towers.

I agree with everything you said right up to about masters II. Then it's just a bloodbath. Up there, the would take my th as a security blanket and then it was an all out drive to the middle.

Ahh, yes. That is so true. Up in masters, you need a full on trophy base.

My suggestions are pretty much from gold2 <-> crystal2 farming.

I've got no suggestions for masters. I get headaches trying to farm up there for resources.

I agree the spells are huge, but i became a TH9 prep day, so the spells waited for 2 wars.

I went about my base set up a little different i like my wiz towers where you like your mortars. I love when they breach the wall and get zapped going through it, and the my other 3 mortars rain death down on what is inside. But i had a trophy base for a while, i was am pushing for masters. everytime i got close, 100%. Then a failed attack. Like just now, after 2 cheap revenge attacks, my tablet goes to sleep for 30 secs, i get sniped for 11 freaking trophies. Earlier in the middle of a nice raid, just after clearing the CC troops servers out of sync. 200k gold 170k elixer, 1300De, plus win bonus, with 16 trophies, instead 12 balloons, 10 minions, minus 21 trophies.

But the first defenses i am maxing out is my teslas i have one to 7, two going now, and when my lava hounds finish in 2 days my 4th will be going. And i have my second mortar going to 7 now. Then i will work on my wiz towers. We war all the time and lvl 7 teslas will end an attack quick, so they took priority.

Once i get to masters i am dropping to silver 1, i am saving up for giants lvl 6 and lvl 2 xbows, and up here you get attacked like crazy and bastards will quit at 39%.
 
No, farming base all the way all the time. I have endless snipes all the way up to 3600 cups, rarely get full attacked even when they have full army

I'm ready for my Pekka 3s to be done! They are so frustrating.

Pekkas are the most frustrating troop in the game. You carve a nice path towards the middle for them, drop them in front of it and they go off and explore flowers in the corner.

Sounds like you are on your way :)

Luckily(or stupidly) i pushed to masters just as i upgraded to TH8. Most frustrating time of my life, and had to take a few weeks off to decompress.

Now it's farming in Gold1-Crystal1 all day every day. Since i leave my th outside for a semi-snipe, i never push that far up with defenses. I am curious to see how far my defense will take me with a trophy base overnight though.

If you're curious, my clan is Musubi, user Akira

I did the same when I was still a TH7. I actually made it all the way to Crystal 1 maybe a couple hundred trophies from Masters before giving up and going back down. I actually made it up that high just sniping town halls. The problem was that if I stepped away from my iPad for a minute, I would get 3-starred immediately.

I'll probably make a push for Masters when I get around to making a trophy base, but at this point, I'm still too lazy to really start from scratch and make a new base.

I started at TH7, pushed to about crystal2. I'd fall asleep hitting 'next' for a th to snipe and accidentally drop a barb.....sooo frustrating! It took me a full 3 nights of th sniping without logging off and no mistakes to get there.

The way my base is now, and the troops i have, I could easily go to masters, but it's not worth it loot-wise.

i agreed with you until i was getting hit by lvl 7 barch and lvl 20 heroes.

seriously i was getting 2 starred by 240 archers and lvl 20 king + queen. i would get them bunched together, hit em, and then they would move on.

then again i have yet to find a defense that can stop a lvl 20 queen and 4 lvl 4 healers. the dumbest patch they did was making the queen not trigger traps. seriously, they would hit me for 70%, and use maybe 5 hogs, 15 barbs and/or archers. and the healers would take 0 freaking damage.

also my current mortar is going because i had 40k DE, 3.8mil elixer, and 3.8mil gold. and no builder coming up for 3 days and 4 days. and i don't particularly like having 400k each and 2k de available to be taken, so i dumped the gold in something.
it isn't like it matters much. in 26hrs i am back up to 2.5mil gold. and 31k DE. when i get my builder in 39hrs, it will be king or queen to 8, or maybe if i get to 50k valks to 2. over 60k and i will save up for witches lvl 2.

that is the beauty of farming, every decision isn't critical, but right now i have 3 major defenses down and they will be down for the next 7 days, so i am trying to keep 1 down and make the other 2 unreachable.

nothing works as well as empty storages to soak up damage.
 
I left a wall builder free my entire time at th9, finished lego walls same week as defenses. Now I'm doing lavas and queen then king

I agree. I may just go ahead and do it just for the gems then pop back down.


edit: As an update, my AQ will be lvl3 this evening. I have been raiding without using any DE in an effort to uplevel my AQ as quickly as possible.

M3 has a ton of loot when you factor the league bonus, but you should realistically be mid-late th9 to hold your loot on defense
 
So is there a way to send them to certain objects to attack?

I keep getting destroyed at an early level because my guys attack the first cannon and then walk by the second one to attack buildings. If they'd attack the first couple cannons I'm sure I'd march over the rest of the base, but they keep skipping the middle one and then getting killed.
 
Only certain troops go for defense buildings only, giants, balloons, hogs and golems

Goblins go for resource buildings only. Everything else is next closest building
