So I found an excellent spreadsheet that calculates the resources you need to build everything you have left to build on your current TH level, and the time all this should take.
It was slightly out of date so I made a few changes here and there, and now there it is! If you see any mistake, please feel free to tell me so I can modify it again.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86879395/Clash%20Spreadsheet.xlsx

Enter your TH level in the top left corner, then take a moment to enter the buildings you already have and their level (use the village edit mode!) and the dreaded results should appear on line 9.

EDIT : fixed a small mistake in cells O94 and O96 - the calculator did not take lvl 11 walls into account, also L55:L58 where I forgot to take into account lvl 8 Teslas. Should be fixed in the linked spreadsheet.

Can't give this thing enough love. Does it take into account building time for the next TH? It doesn't look like it but I just wanted to make sure.

Depends what trophy range you're doing it at and who you're going after. L3 are fine for most mid and below TH9s. 4 are fine for mid TH10s (you will sometimes have trouble getting DE with inferno coverage so you can bring a drag to ensure you get it. 5 is ideal to take on TH10s and will stomp most non-max TH9s.

You'd probably get more mileage out of some youtube sperglord to be completely honest, I just started doing it and am still learning myself.

I will say tho with L4 minions I was constantly clearing TH10s all the way up to the core and then losing without hitting the storage at all. Subbing out 4 bloons for a dragon has fixed that issue until I get L5 minions. I tend to lose cups doing it tho with like ~40% cleared.

Comp seems to be 20-24 bloons, rest minions. I roll 16 bloons when I'm using a dragon. I also drop a few feeler minions first to trip bombs.

Usually 25ish or so balloons and the rest minions, use a couple loons to pull CC use minions/heroes/CC to beat up troops, drop a line of balloons to destroy the defenses and minions behind them for clean-up. Couple rage spells a couple heal spells if the defenses arent too nasty, or a freeze if they are.

It does. If you check the first building row in the first sheet, you can see that the next level TH is in yellow. Scroll along and you'll see the allocated time for it is yellow too. If you want to be really sure you can change that number (it's actually a date, you'll need to edit it in the formula bar) and the total remaining time in the summary changes accordingly.

Right now sitting at TH3, upgrading everything and getting some good farming raids on bad bases. People drop 50 or so troops on an attack nowhere near my exposed townhall and only end up grabbing a few hundred gold/elixer before my defenses wreck them all :psyduck:

24 Balloons and 40 mins with 4 rage is generally what I run. Only use 1-2 rage spells on an attack usually. You should look for bases with x-bows set on ground, air D that is low level or on the outside of a base and try to avoid infernos unless you have freeze spells or if they are poorly placed.

Level 4 mins should be fine. The difference between 4 and 5 isn't that huge.

The Bloonion method I use is 20 bloons, 60 minions, 3 heals and one rage. I usually use one or two heals per attack, dropping them when my bloons drop to 50% health, or when they're going to be hanging out in range of wizard towers. The rage is for if the CC troops pose a threat.

Edit: the most important thing is to get a feel for when you're going to run out of spells before you do. I generally do 1-3 bloon raids then a couple raids with gaints, archers, goblins, and wallbreakers while my spells recharge.

All this for stealing a piece of bread? :waycool:

Here's my balloonian strategy:

Farming/Trophy Hunting: So, I generally rock with 32 balloons, 20 minions, and a dragon. The ballon/minion combo usually does their thing with wrecking poo poo. I keep 1 lightning and 3 heals, with the latter being used on balloons to keep alive from the air defenses that keep bringing them down. In case poo poo gets real, I pop in the dragon, or the AQ/BK/CC if necessary.

Clan Wars: I change it up to 36/10 ballon/minion with a dragon and a CC dragon, along with 1/2/1 light/heal/rage spell setup. Most of the bases I usually attack have level 6-8 air defenses, so I try and bum-rush my way to the center, and have the AQ/BK/CC take out the TH. This is pretty much a guarantee two-star.

Also, it's best to use balloonian if you don't give a gently caress about elixir, because it will basically wipe out any elixir gains since it mostly goes to balloons. You're only using it for gold/DE, which helps for farming the latter in Crystal.

edit: With regards to deploying, unless the air defense is low-level, I never deploy my ballons in a circle. I usually deploy the balloons along one side only or do a two-finger swipe into a V.

Balloons are cheap as gently caress. I would only worry about the Dark Elixir, not purple. Even when dragon raiding you can easily out-raid the elixir cost, as long as you barch while 1/2 barracks build your real army back.

I recently remodeled my base to have a butthole and jesus christ. The first few days were fine, people only attacking the outside and whatnot but today I had 6 people go for the butthole in a row while I was away at work all day, all failing. It gave me enough trophies to push me over 1250 and I'm now 450 gems richer. How can people be stupid? They can SEE the gravestones on the inside, shouldn't that tip them off?

Yeah the first one of these I saw while raiding was a TH9 guy with a hole right next to his TH, and I was like "hahah what an idiot, he his town hall is open! I can't believe how stupid he is!" and I just got my poo poo pushed in because even after realizing it was a trap I was determined to go all in with 200 troops. I think I got like 4% :downs:

I went up against my first one of these while farming DE yesterday. I knew the dangers but it was just too tempting because his drill and DE storage were RIGHT THERE. Got the drill (nearly empty) with staggered barching, didn't do a whit of damage to the storage, then I gave up and took out his exposed TH just so I had something to show for it.

He was some kid with a few mental issues* who posted real life data about The Mittani on the EVE forum and was banned for it. He then started trying to get support to destroy Goonswarm in EVE using a blog and constantly trying to get characters into Goonswarm and spam goonfleet.com with terrible posts and outing himself in about 20 minutes.

He now occationally makes SA accounts and tries to get into Goon groups in games.

* one of the Goonswarm Directors is a Social Worker in the UK where the guy is from and reached out to the kids grandparents who he lives with to tell them he was getting a bit too obsessed.

Looks like a win. They are making some attacks still, but their players with 2 attacks left won't have enough time to use them both. 119-97, they have 29 attacks left, we have 12. They just don't have any targets they can add stars to right now.
