TH 13 Settings for stress-free farming

[gexo173]

Hey everyone!

It's my first post on this forum and I hope you'll enjoy my settings just as I currently am right now! I'm a semi-max TH13 at the moment (all troops are maxed, but defenses are all 1 level shy of being maxed. Heroes are all about 10 levels each of being maxed out except the BK at level 33. Walls are currently 65% lvl 12 and 35% lvl 11)

Here they are:

Army: Use Quick Train #1?
- My army consists of 30 Baby dragons (264 000 elixir). Baby dragons are very underrated in terms of their farming capabilities. They cost around the same as miners but are much more effective when their rage attribute is activated.

- If you don't like this strategy, then I would recommend either full miners (48 of them + 12 archers, which comes out to be 267 000 elixir). 

- Another strategy would be 14 Giants, 31 miners and 11 wizards, amounting up to 265 000 elixir. Each one of their strategies will, for the most part, guarantee you the 1 star.
 
Siege Machines: None (it's up to you but heroes are enough to snatch the 1 star)

Search:
- Gold: 400000
- Elixir: 400000
- Dark Elixir: 2500-3500 (I like to maximise my raids and keep it at 3500, but it's up to you)

TH target limit:
- Minimum TH level: 11
- Maximum TH level: 13
- Should have full collectors: Yes

Attack:
- Wave deployment speed: 6
- Troop deployment speed: 5
- Heroes deployed: Archer Queen (or Grand Warden when AQ is upgrading, and vice-versa)
- Activate hero ability when he is low on health
- 1 Wave
- Deploy near collectors (not red lines)
- Attacks sides: NW, SW, SE, NE
- Order: none (since I'm using full baby drags)

Clan & Chat:
- Request troop donations

Village:
- Collect gold, elixir, dark elixir, clear tombstones, collect loot cart
- Trophy level: 2600-3200 trophies
- Enable automatic upgrades: No (unless you have 6 builders, which I unfortunately don't have as of yet)

Other:
- Break every 3 hours: 01 AM, 04 AM, 07 AM, 10 AM, 13 PM, 16 PM, 19 PM, 22 PM

I use ClashFarmer on my personal laptop, and I keep it plugged all day, which puts a lot of strain on the battery cells. That's why my laptop (ASUS TUF A15) is equipped with a feature called Maximum Battery Lifespan Mode. It automatically stops the current from flowing in my laptop when it reaches 60%, that way it preserves the battery for A LOT longer. 

If you have a similar feature on your laptop, USE IT, it's very useful, and can genuinely save your battery from being unusable in a couple months.

If you have access to a VPS or an RDP, use it (since the work is offloaded in the cloud), but if you don't, your personal laptop or an old one is fine.

Here is a small log of what my loot is looking like (I always cap out at 18M gold and 300k DE by the end of the day  )

You could try 2000-2600 trophies and 566666k gold and elixir
Also you could break every hour with bdrag since it takes an hour to build them try see how it works for u

I've been experimenting farming in the 2000-2600 range and I don't like it. I don't find dead TH13 bases consistently or it simply takes too many searches. In between 2600-3200, it takes an average of 10-15 searches tops to find a dead base that fits the requirements. 

As for the minimum gold and elixir, I try to encompass more bases by keeping the minimum required at 400k. It is still a good amount and, even though it creates a slightly bigger discrepancy between gold and elixir after a while, those bases sometimes have really high amounts of Dark Elixir that simply cannot be passed up on. 

As for baby drags, they take 36 minutes to form, which is not very close to one hour. I don't see how I would be able to break every hour. Can you give more detail into what you were trying to mean?

I'm currently trying the third army I recommended (31 miners, 14 giants and 11 wizards) because it takes only 22 minutes to prepare.

yea well whatever works for you I'm sure you did your home work

heres what i have for breaks and its recommended for TH10 and above basically 3 attacks an hour then break for 1 till the 2 armies are ready

I see. Thanks for your feedback. I usually let it farm for 3 hours before taking an hour-long break. It's able to attack 3 times per hour, roughly 9-10 times per session. Then, the queued troops prepare during the cooldown for 2 more raids. Secondly, I changed my settings before going to sleep. I changed the minimum elixir and gold amount from 400k to 500k like you advised since it reduces the discrepancy between elixir and gold and maximises my raids. So far, in 12 hours (17 hours if you add in the breaks), I farmed 17M of each + 140k Dark Elixir during that time.
