Loot Protection

When a higher level player decides to raids you , where do you want your loot? 

Ask yourself... 

Option 1)  Keep your Town Hall at the minimum possible level. Upgrade all troops, barracks, and army camps before the next level Town Hall. Higher-level opponents face a loot penalty when looting you.

 

Don’t upgrade your town hall until your troops and defenses are ready, thus lowering losses from higher level bases.

 Option 2) Spend loot as quickly as possible. Can’t steal what is not there. Build up enough loot to fund upgrades, spend leftover gold/elixir on walls.  A base unattended with 300k or more sitting in gold/elixir is begging to get looted. You’ll return to a shield, minus the large amount of resources looted. Spend on upgrades, don't leave it sitting around.

 Option 3) Regular collection from gold mines, elixir collectors, and the dark elixir drill. These buildings have huge raid penalties. An attacker can steal 50% from your gold mines or elixir collector, far less collected and moved to resource storage.

Example : A attacker can take 75% from your dark elixir drill, but only 5% if you move it into the dark elixir storage.

Let's cover the topic and often asked question:

What about the loot stored in my clan castle?

 Safer than regular storage, but better if you spend it.  Once again, can't loot what you do not have.The amounts looted from your clan castle is half that of a storage, based on Town Hall level:

1. Spend your resources on upgrades if possible before logging off. Spend leftover gold on walls. Leave nothing for an attacker to loot.
2. Clean out mines & collectors routinely.
3. Leave the resources in your clan castle until you are ready to spend. Don’t move it unnecessarily into your storage.
