Farm successfully in Clash of Clans - the best tips

These tips will help you to farm successfully in Clash of Clans.

Tip 1: Use cheap troops

To successfully farm in Clash of Clans, you should put as few resources as possible into your troops.

Use cheap troops. A combination of archers, barbarians and goblins has proven itself. Also take a few wall breakers with you.
Cost-effective troops automatically make attacking enemies more efficient. Even if you don't win an attack, you haven't lost much.

Time plays an important role in farming. Too many people are online at peak times, so you cannot find suitable loot.

Avoid the peak times. This can be, for example, between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. after work or 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. before work.
On the other hand, you can also watch good times for farming in Clash of Clans. Of course, farming is available from midnight to 6am, and between 10am and 12pm there are many villages without a sign. You can also catch prey during big events like soccer games.

The leagues are often misunderstood in Clash of Clans. To successfully farm, you should be able to find many easily defeated enemies.

Based on the league, Clash of Clans selects opponents in your league environment for you. The lower your league, the weaker your opponents, but the less resources you will find there.
First orientate yourself towards a town hall. If you meet a lot of opponents in a league like Gold 2, who also have your town hall level, you should be able to farm there successfully.
Don't rise too high in the leagues. The bonuses with a lot of black elixir are tempting, but you cannot farm successfully there.

With a little practice, you quickly know which opponents you can attack efficiently in Clash of Clans and which you cannot.

First, look at the resource production sites like the gold mines and elixir collectors. If these are full, you can often easily farm them with goblins.
How high are the opponent's defenses? Even players with high city halls often have very weak defenses. You can attack there.
Always attack outside town halls. With the trophies received, you can later attack an enemy with many resources without receiving a star there. This way you stay in your league long-term.
