Read more →At TH9, Dark Elixir is your most valuable resource — every drop funds Queen and King upgrades. Strong farming bases keep the DE Storage and Drill deep in the core, sacrifice outer Gold and Elixir, and force attackers to spend their army before reaching DE.
Read more →TH10 farming is still a Dark Elixir race — both heroes need constant upgrades and DE Drills now produce twice as fast with two of them. The best TH10 farming bases keep both Drills and the DE Storage behind your Inferno Towers, sacrificing Gold and Elixir at the perimeter.
Read more →TH11 farming introduces the Goblin Knife — mass Goblins with Earthquake spells that rip through walls and storages in seconds. A strong TH11 farming base has no straight-line path from walls to DE Storage, keeps Drills inside, and uses the Eagle Artillery to punish anyone who commits a real army.
Read more →TH12 farming sees Super Goblins replace regular ones — they move faster, hit harder, and can clear an unprotected core before your defenses respond. Strong TH12 farming bases use the Scattershot to punish Super Goblin swarms and keep DE behind multiple wall layers with no single-breach path to it.
Read more →Hero Equipment upgrades at TH13 cost massive amounts of Shiny Ore, Glowy Ore, and Dark Elixir. Protecting all three is the new farming challenge. Strong TH13 farming bases treat the Builder Hall storage and hero equipment resources with the same priority as DE.
Read more →Hero Pets at TH14 make Queen Charge farming faster and more effective — the Electro Owl strips air defenses while the Queen walks resource buildings. TH14 farming bases counter this by keeping DE protected behind defenses the Owl can't easily target and avoiding clustered air coverage.
Read more →TH15 brings Root Riders — burrowing troops that ignore walls and surface directly at defenses. A TH15 farming base needs Giant Bomb corridors on underground approach paths to DE and Drills, plus multi-mode Inferno coverage for the Super Witch Skeleton swarms that pair with Root Rider armies.
Read more →TH16 farming defense requires balancing protection across all resource types — Super Troops and hero equipment upgrades consume Gold, Elixir, and DE simultaneously. A strong TH16 farming base uses the Ricochet Cannon and Multi-Archer Tower defensively while keeping DE Drills and Storage in a protected core.
Read more →TH17 brings new defensive structures that reshape base layouts, but the farming priority hasn't changed: Dark Elixir funds hero and equipment upgrades that cost more than ever. A strong TH17 farming base uses new defenses to cover DE Storage corridors while maintaining the sacrificial outer ring for Gold and Elixir.
Read more →At TH18, you're working toward max — but walls, hero equipment, and pet upgrades still consume massive resources. A TH18 farming base keeps DE Drills and Storage in a protected core, uses every new defense placement strategically, and is optimized for Legend League trophy defense as much as resource protection.
