List of the buildings that you can boost with 1 gem :

1. Barracks
2. Dark Barracks
3. Spell Factory
4. Heroes
5. Gold Mines

Ultimate Balloonion Guide for Trophy Push

Introduction

Hey everyone, welcome to the Ultimate Balloonion Guide. This handy guide is used mostly for trophy pushing, and is not advised to use as a farming method. This guide is optimal for people with Town Hall 8 and at least 200 spaces in the army camps. You can also use this strategy if you're a Town Hall 7, but it'll be a bit harder. I will be writing this guide with the intention of it being read and used by TH8s and not TH7s.

You may be asking "What is Balloonion?" Balloonion is a combination of Balloons and Minions. It's a popular strategy that is used from Crystal all the way up to Champions. This strategy is an all air attack. 

Troop Composition

Assuming you have both your dark barracks (as TH8). This is also assuming that you have all four of your regular army barracks to at least level 6. Training the combination of troops below takes about 30 minutes.

• x60 Minions
• x16 Balloons

These numbers can be changed depending on your strategy. Other possible combinations are x24 Balloons and x40 Minions. Another possible assortment is 20x Balloon and 50x Minions. 

Balloons are the attackers in this combination, and minions are the supporters. If your minions are dying out to quickly, add more minions and lower the amount of balloons. 

Spells

If I'm using the combination of troops that takes about half an hour to train, I'll be packing a healing spell as well. If I'm using the x24 balloons assortment I'll be bringing a rage spell. It's all about personal preference.

Healing Spell: Healing spells heal your troops. They affect both ground and air troops. Healing spells offer respite to the balloons when ganging up on a wizard. When using a healing spell, make sure you use it when your balloons reach 35-45% in health, and make sure to place the spell a little bit ahead of your troops so they can continue to heal if they head in that direction. 

Rage Spell: Rage offers increase in damage to your troops as well as increase in speed. This does not help too much as balloons already to an incredible amount of DPS (damage per second). However, rage spells are usually used for speed in balloons. I'm sure you've noticed by now, that balloons are incredibly slow, it's what offsets their high DPS. The rage spell increases their speed and is very helpful when getting close to and taking out pesky air defenses as well as wizard towers. Rage spells can also be used on minions when they reach the core of the base. A group of minions can do a lot of damage when placed in the core and enhanced by a rage spell. 

Attacking

This is the 'fun' part. The Balloonion strategy, like expressed earlier, is typically used for trophy pushing, so I'll be explaining how to attack in Crystal League as well as Gold. 

CC: There is no real requirement for what you place here, but I recommend air troops or wizards. I usually have mine filled with balloons. Dragons will work as well. 

Searching for a Base: In Crystal there are loads of TH9 and TH10 to deal with. There is also the occasional TH8. In Crystal, it is highly recommended to bring al three of your spells (2x rage 1x heal or 1x rage 2x heal), this ensures you can take out any and all TH8 bases. If it's a TH8 and you only have one spell, you can take it out, but it'll be difficult and it's likely you will receive at least one star. When attacking a TH9, try to find a base where they have one or two wizards towers down or where the wizard tower is level 5 or below. This is not a requirement, but it's advised to look for wizard towers that are close to the edge as they'll be easier to take out. All in all, look for vulnerable wizard towers. 

Attacking the Base: 

1. Lure out the CC (if applicable).You have three minutes to attack the base, take your time to plan out a strategy. First drop two minions to distract the attention of air defenses, wizards, and archers. Drop a single balloon and have it drift towards the center of the base. If CC is not lured, repeat process until it is. Usually, this is not an issue. Once lured, drop a minion at the far corner of the base.  The CC troops will head towards to minion at the corner of the base. Spam a few more minions to take out the rest of the CC troops. 
2. Wizards are all about splash damage, so if there are two wizard towers close together, try to attack them. Especially if you have two heal spells. So what you want to do is drop one balloon to snag it's attention, then drop six more behind it. Drop a heal spell. The other wizard to the same thing. After they're down, drop some minions.
3. If you have two rage spells and only one healing spell, do the opposite. Only go near one wizard tower, but apply the same strategy with spells and troops.
4. Place your remaining balloons close to a defense that is distracted. At this point, if you still have minions, use them to follow up your balloons as added support and to collect the loot. 
5. If you have a Barbarian King, feel free to place him near the edges of the map if there are buildings in the corner as balloons are rather slow and may not get the 100% because of the time constraint.

Town Hall 8 Batman Base Design + Speedbuild Video

Few days ago i made a post about Batman Base for Town Hall level 7 and people really liked it so i decided to make a new post, but now for Town Hall level 8. This base is really cool because it has the shape of a bat and they call it Batman Base. Here is a screenshot of the wall placement :

 

Since i couldn't find a image of full base here is the speedbuild video of this base to make it easier for you to build the Batman Base. Leave a comment below if you want Batman Base designs for other Town Halls.

Town Hall 7 Batman Base Design + Speedbuild Video

Hey guys. Today i'm going to show one interesting base which i saw during attacking. It's a Town Hall level 7 base with a shape of bat. I call it Batman Base and it's pretty cool if you have level 7 walls.
Below is a screenshot of this base layout for Town Hall level 7. There are two versions of this base, where the second is with Clan Castle on the place where the middle mortar is, but this one is better since the mortars will cover more space around the base.

Here is a screenshot of a base form the attackers views. Pretty cool right and It's also a bit confusing for the attacker because if he attacks from the bottom he will get destroyed pretty badly. But again keep in mind that the intention of this base is the design and apparence not how tough it is.

Since the image above is a screenshot i searched around YouTube and i found a speedbuild video of this base to make it easier for you guys to build it. Hope you enjoy, stay around because soon we will post Batman Bases for Town Hall level 8 and 9.

How to Farm Dark Elixir As a TH7/8 - NOT ZAPPING

Introdution

Hey Clashers! Hope your having a good day! Cause I'm not! The loot is horrible at the moment! In 4 hours of boosting I've found 3 collector bases! SERIOUSLY? LIKE WHAT? That is absolutely horrible! So I decided to farm dark elixir instead. I'm a Town Hall 8 with 200 spaces in my army camps. The only things that are level 5 of mine in this strategy are my barbs and archers. Thus, making it so that you can attack with TH 7 too. Let's get into it. I'll be providing my personal logs at the end for proof!

Strategy: 

• 12 Giants
• 12 Wall Breakers
• 40 Barbarians
• 76 Archers
• Clan Castle (anything)
• Barb King (helps a lot, but still possible without it)

I've been using this strategy at about 1350-1600 trophies. You want to attack bases that have 400+ dark elixir. This makes sure that you are making profit efficiently. You can 3 star some TH 7's, 1-2 star most TH 8's. I've not tested this strategy out on maxed TH 8's, just because I don't have the level 5 troops at the moment. With this strategy make sure that the dark elixir isn't behind 3 layers of wall, otherwise it's going to be hard to get it all. I usually attacked bases with the dark elixir storage behind 2 layers of walls. Now on to the execution of the strategy! 

Execution: 

1st Step - Lure the Clan Castle! If the clan castle is centralized, lure it out in the middle of the raid. Just use half of your troops to get the main job done. If it's not centralized, just use a barb or 2 to pop the troops out. Bring them to a corner, take em out with a couple of barbs and archers. 

2nd Step - Attack from the side closest to the dark elixir storage. Use all your barbarians to clear the outer buildings from that side. Deploy them in a line. You should have a couple of barbs left, just use them as support to clear the outer ring of buildings! The barbs are also used to trip any traps. If the barbarians didn't take out all the buildings, use a couple of archers to take out the buildings.

The red line shows the outer buildings. The blue shows where you should deploy your barbs.

3rd Step - Deploy your giants in the same spot, those 12 giants will take out a whole lot of defenses if used right. After you've deployed your giants, deploy two wall breakers! DON'T SPAM THE WALL BREAKERS. The wall breakers will get taken out by one mortar shell or a wizard shot. Deploy the wall breakers in groups of 2, this or groups of 1 (but quickly, but giants will lose more health this way). Keep deploying wall breakers until you've broken into the compartment with the dark elixir strategy!

4th Step - Once you've broken through the first layer, start deploying your archers in groups of 5-10. Deploy the groups every 3-5 seconds. This makes sure that the mortars can 1 shot your archers, don't spam them all at once, 1 shot from the mortars! KABOOM! All your archers are dead. If you have a barbarian king, I would deploy him in the middle of when you're deploying archers. The archers should get to the dark elixir storage if you use the strategy right. The archers will snipe the dark elixir with ease.

5th Step - Enjoy your dark elixir and use it to buy your barb king or use it to upgrade your barb king or your minions or your hogs or your valkyries. LOL!

In 4 hours of boosting I farmed 8,000 Dark Elixir! Use the 1 gem boost and horrible collector loot to your advantage for farming Dark Elixir!

Attack Logs: 

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, dark elixir farming is hard at TH 7 & TH 8! It's not easy, your mainly going up against some TH 9's and TH 10's. But, we have something called rushers, they balance the game. That's where we make most of our DE income from. You could also use BAM or Balloonian to farm Dark Elixir. But, I don't think it's efficient to use dark elixir to farm dark elixir! You could also trophy push with this army, but it's weird if you TH snipe, you'll use 4 archers, since you have giants queued up first, it's going to train, giants. Anyway's back to the DE farming, hope you make some dark elixir! Hope you liked this post, leave a comment if you need a help or tip. Visit us for more posts and guides.

Everything about Christmass Tree 2014

Few days after the Clash of Clans 2014 Update went live many clashers started asking about Christmas Tree. Some of them wanted to know how it spawns, some of them wanted to know what reward does it give and some wanted to know why they haven't got one yet.

So i made a list with things you need to know about the Christmas Tree :

• It spawns randomly, so you can't force one to spawn or you can't know the time it spawns.
• There is no limit on how much Christmas Trees can you get.
• Christmas Tree can spawn right next to a building.
• Christmas Tree spawn a gift near itself every 24 hours and can spawn up to 5 gifts.
• Every gift gives you about 5000 elixir.
• This tree will not spawn if you are looking at your village, you must be either attacking/scouting or offline.

Hope you have enough information about the Christmass Tree, hopefully you have got one until now. If you have any question or information then please leave a reply below.

Archer Tower shoots x2 faster Christmas 2014 Update

Next Sneak Peak released by SuperCell after the two previous one Christmas Update 2014 Sneak Peak 1 and Sneak Peak 2 Gold Mine and Elixir Collectors level 12 is really exciting, they made Archer Tower shoot twice faster as the regular speed but half a damage per shoot, so if the Damage per Second is 52 then in one second it will shoot two arrows but with damage 26 for one. 

Archer Tower shooting 2 arrow in 1 second

Will this affect the game ?

After this news release a lot of people started to wonder if this will make Archer Towers like X-bows or will make them more powerful. The answer is no in Archer Towers from level 1 to at least 9 and yes in Archer Towers from level 10 to 13. Easiest way to explain this is to use Archers as example.

Will not affect the game in Town Hall from level 8 and below because :

In low-mid level Archer Towers like 1 to 9 this makes no difference because if a level 5 Archer has 40 hit points than it will take two "one second" shoots to take her down.

Will affect the game in Town Hall from level 9 and above because :

But in higher level Archer Tower like 10 to 13 when a level 5 Archer has 40 hit points and a level 12 Archer Tower has 86 damage per second then two "one second" shoots will take down 2 Archers level 5 .

Below you have video from Clash of Clans Attack who explains Archer Tower improvements in a more detailed guides with some footage and examples. Visit us again for more news about Christmas 2014 Update. Enjoy

Mines/Collectors Level 12 Christmas Update Sneak Peak 2

After the first Sneak Peak Christmas Update 2014 First Sneak Peak SuperCell announced a new Sneak Peak which is new level for both Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors. These collectors can be upgraded to level 12 if you are Town Hall level 8 and above. SuperCell announced this update to be as an improvement on finding more loot on multiplayer attacks more specifically to retain more elixir and gold on mid-level battles (Town Hall 7 to 9).

Level 12 Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors

Here is a video from Simon Tray who explains more about Christmas 2014 Update in general and from Gold Mine and Elixir Collectors in more details. Visit us again for more videos and updates about Clash of Clans. Enjoy

Christmas Update 2014 Sneak Peak 1 (VIDEO)

As everyone else I'm excited and waiting for the Christmas Update 2014. Many features are believed to be added along with some usual one like snow and Christmas Trees. A hour ago Clash of Clans shared maybe the first sneak peak of this update.

Christmas Update 2014 Sneak Peak 1

For some one who plays this game for more than a year this might not be a surprise but for "younger" players it is. We are talking about a tree called Christmas Tree which will be decorated with light that blink and it look almost the same like the Christmas 2012 Update tree. These trees give gift which spawn at a rate believed to be 1 for a day and when removed these gifts give us 5000 elixir.
Below you can find a video from Daddy showing how it looks and what it does.

Nice video from Dadday, hope you enjoyed and please visit us more these days to find the latest updates and sneak peaks about the Christmas 2014 Update.

Biggest Raid in Clash of Clans History 2.8 Million

Hey clashers. While browsing YouTube i saw some nice raids with a lot of loot raided, but this one is almost impossible. As the narrator describe the attacker is a Town Hall 7 and the defender is Town Hall 10. So you must know that Town Hall is a big factor which decides how much loot can you get from a base. If you are high Town Hall against a lower one then you probably won't get much loot and the opposite if you are low Town Hall against a higher one than you will get quit big loot.

Back to this raid you can see that the defender has almost full storage's and completely full gold mines & elixir collectors. The attacker used Dragons and healers while in his Clan Castle he had level 6 Giants.
I don't think this is fake because everything is okay with the loot penalty and the amount of the loot you can get in these cases. Watch the video below and if you have any suspicion or you this is fake than leave a comment below.

Gold Looted : 1,443,000                                                    Dark Elixir Looted : 5,120

              Elixir Looted : 1,443,000                                                   Trophies Gained : 33

What to expect December 2014 Clash of Clans Update

So Christmas and New Year are close and as usual Clash of Clans will certainly release a new update as a gift to us for these event's. After the Halloween Update which brought us alot of new things like Skeleton Trap and 4 Mortar, my opinion is that this update will be a small one. 

December 2013 Update : 

Santa Strike Trap which when was activated, Santa appeared flying with his sled and threw presents that exploded when they hit the ground.

December 2012 Update :

In this update Xmas Tree was presented which gave players 50,000 Gold when removed. Also Multi-Target Mode was presented for Inferno Towers, PEKKA got more health etc.

So what to expect from December 2014 Update 

Few things that we might expect are :

• Winter Theme will be added. This theme make snow fall down and covers buildings & obstacles with snow a little bit.
• New obstacles like Xmas Tree and Gifts might be added to give us some extra resources.
• New bomb or trap like Santa Strike.
• New spells like in December 2012 update, Santa Surprise.

If you have any idea what might be added or what should they add please comment  below, i'll be glad to read them. Visit us again and play Clash of Clans.

How to make 6 million in 2 hours guide

Hey again, sorry that i didn't write or post anything for a while, i've been busy with school, exams and personal life. Back on topic today i'm going to show you how to fill your storage's full with gold and elixir in just 2 hours. The troops we are going to use in this strategy are Barbarians and Archers, this is simple barching for loot with some tips and tricks.

1. Make sure your Army Camps are always full with troops.

If you want to gather great amounts of gold and elixir you must make sure that you won't waste time for waiting troops to get trained and meanwhile you can get raided. Before going to raid make sure to fill you Barracks with 100 Barbarians and 100 Archers. If you want you can even boost 2 or 4 Barracks, by boosting them you will get troops 4 times faster so your Army Camps will be fill always.

2. Find the best time for raiding.

If you play Clash of Clans for atleast 2 or 3 month you might have noticed that in certain times of the day/night you find more bases with collectors and mines fill to the top. So make sure you know when is the perfect time for you to attack. Personolly i live in GMT +1 Time Zone and the best time for me is between 22:00 and 2:00 after midnight, this is the time when i find bases with +200k loot in few next clicks

3. Aim for elixir collectors and gold mines.

On thing is important, always aim for collectors and mines becuase from them you can steal atleast 60% of the loot and they are more easier to reach. In the image above you can see 3 gold mines filled 25%, 50% and 90%, you can steal up to 80,000 from a single collector/mine. Just place a line of barbarians and behind them a line of archers and you will get the loot in no time.

Here are some screenshots when i boosted my barracks few days ago, i was able to find every 5 minutes a base with up to 200k gold and 200k elixir.

As you can see i used only Barbarians and Archers, sometimes the King too. But the key point is always find the perfect time to start raiding, time when you will have at least 2 hours without anyone bothering or interrupting you. You can see from this last base that his collectors/mines are fill and storage's are empty, the whole loot is in the mines and collectors.
