As we all know, the new matchmaking system in Clash of Clans has changed: No matter what TH level you are, you just (usually) can search villages which have the same TH level as you. This algorithm is for all Leagues except Champion League and above (3200+ trophies).
That’s why this farming strategy works fine with all Town Hall level!
Because it is quite easy to understand so I just write it with these simple steps.
New Champion League Farming Strategy
- Hit the 3200+ trophies threshold to reach the
Champion League III.
- Once you get there, quit game for a while to be raided and you will be dropped to below 3200 trophies threshold (or just drop a few trophies yourself by surrendering). Don’t worry then, you are still in Champion unless your trophy is below 3100.
- Below the 3200 trophies threshold, you can easily find bases with Town Hall outside.
- Once you have more than 3200 trophies, drop your trophies again.
- Repeat 99999999 times.
- Maxed loot!
Some more things you should know:
- No matter how much your loot can be stolen, you can earn much more by following this method. Normally it just take me about 3-5 minutes to find a base to snipe.
- I usually just get 1-3 trophies per sniping so I just need to drop my trophy 1-2 time everyday.
- You can surrender to drop your trophies but I think we should give other players free loot and get a free shield.
- Farming by using this method while waiting for the main strong army is awesome!
We will have another detailed guide about pushing trophies to Champion soon. I have been using this farming method with my Town Hall 10 account for about 6 months. Thank Reav3R for sharing this golden idea!
This still work with the new update ? wont be harder to do TH snipe
I just wrote this guide yesterday and absolutely it is for the new update mate!
Yes sure, It is harder now but you can always find them! I can find a village with outside TH after couples of minutes!
Cânt find outside th..im in master1
If it’s hard to find TH for sniping, bring all Dragons or Archers to do mass drag…
All drag and archers to farm?? !
せりおうsly!!
Seriously???
Seriously at Archers 😀
Lol I’m glad that u r will potter not Harry potter. Potter sucks
Did you mean I suck?
Oh why boy 🙁
i think xmodgames can help us to find a th outside
I don’t understand why we need to drop below 3200 trophies could you explain ?
To find THs have the same level as you, as I said in the guide 😀
But when you drop below 3200 like 3150 you continue being in champions
That’s why we should drop to below 3200.
Above 3200, you just can find TH10 or maxed TH9 villages.
If you are at TH8, you can find another TH8 below 3200, that is the point!
Oh i see, thanks m8
Very welcome 😀
Now that we have the update what changed in this strategy, can we go higher or something?
It doesn’t change nothing, just use this strategy as normal mate!
So i cant do it on titans league ?
is this method still working after update ?
got a question, where you say repeat 9999 is this a correct number? or a typo? Also the instruction are a bit confusing to me sorry. So you say get to 3200 trophies, then drop below 3200 to like 3150, as you snipe back to 3200 you will always receive 180k for gold/elixir and 1200 for DE, no matter how much damage you do to the base, this happens just by taking down an outside TH?
Thanks Will sorry if I don’t understand your guide, I am still a noob at this game.
Hi Cassador. Let’s me answer your questions.
1. 9999 is just to make a pun. I means repeating those steps for unlimited loot.
2. Once you have 3200 trophies, you are at Champion league, right? You won’t be dropped to lower league If you drop your trophies to ~3150. You are still at Champion league.
3. Once you take down a TH by snipping, it means you win the attack and you can have bonus loot!
After the update the TH affecting the match making sytem wasnt change ? with the new leagues and champions being divided in 3, before, lower than 3200 u still find TH nears yours but after the update this continue? wasnt raised ?
Yep, the matchmaking system doesn’t change after the update!
Can’t you continue getting this bonus by continuing on sniping town halls. Or is it only for achieving champion level?
I wish there were XMG for bluestacks :s
LOL I know that feel bro
Thank you i use http://suprcl.com/coc-freegems to receive free gems! (zxwXb0a9NM
i’m just wondering why the “new” match making affects searching TH outside the base? i thought match making is like when you are TH9 you can only search th8 th9 or th10, but not necessarily the design of the base right? how come when i’m trying to hunt TH at champ league it’s different from before? it’s just frustrating how SUPERCELL kills hunters. when i look at my league and visit their base 40%-50% are farming base (TH outside). quite confusing how the term was used as “the new match making”.
Yep that is the point.
This strategy mainly is for Town Hall 8 and 9. After dropping your trophies, you can face much more TH8 and 9 villages, basically they usually place their TH outside. I can see that most TH10 villages with decent defenses placed their TH inside.
i think SUPERCELL made a mistake from this new match making. Only the TH10 at Champ League can benefit from it, Anyway, is this strategy works also in th9?
Yep sure, as I said it is mainly for Town Hall 8 and 9 buddy!
and aslo i wanna ask if you know how to root samsung S4 gt-i19505 android lollipop 5.0.1 (international brand)?
I think you can find the root file for your phone at http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
not working for me th9 here its hard to find th outside wat can you suggest will potter?
Can you try to drop a bit more trophies?
I’ve been using this strategy ever since townhall 7 and it works great. However, i just became a th9 yesterday and the rate of finding a base with a th outside is insanely low (4 snipes in 3 hours). At that point of time, my trophy count is 3300+. Is it because my trophy is too high or is it just harder because i became a th9? What should i do?
It’s harder because you are a Town Hall 9 now. But it also depends on the time you play game. Try to take a look at this post to find the best time to search buddy: http://cocland.com/tricks-and-tips/best-time-for-farming-in-clash-of-clans
This is a good strategy but the problem is we can’t retain the loot coz farming don’t work there…. I have been there and experienced this thing…. We get looted if we even have 1m loot…
That’s If you are at TH8/below. I always get snipped TH immediately after leaving the game.
I have a question sir, im at th7 now, then im in a crystal league im just confusing why is it when im in 1800+ trophies its hard for me to hunt for th because all bases the ive search their th are placed in the center thats why ive been stocked in 2005 trophies until now and i cannot loot more trophies because their th are now placed inside their bases. What can u suggest to me about that problem sir bcoz i really need to get the master league so that i can buy my 5th builder
Hi Nautical,
All I can say is “Keep hitting the Next button” because it’s the best way for you go get trophies. Also, train your army with all Dragons and aim TH8 players.
I don’t know about this one,,, 180 k and 1200 dark is not alot of loot… I did the whole masters push to get my 5th builder,,, up there it’s very hard to find exposed TH’s,,, you can spend forever nexting if that’s your plan,, and if you want to actually attack just a cheap barch based army isn’t going to cut it…so training times between attacks is going to be high because you need tougher troop compositions… I liked being up there and honed a few attack strategies but it’s unsustainable if you want to be continually keeping builders going,,, I found if you had any decent loot saved up on the way to your next upgrade even with TH exposed your going to get nailed…. Plus then you lose 20 or so trophies and most attacks up there only get you 5 or so back,,, takes hours just to get back what you lose most of the time,,,
Maybe it’s just me,,, I’m more focused on wars with my clan,,, and cheap easy farming in the silver gold crystal range… I can easily farm way more loot down there per hour…
Cheers ?
That’s why most players nowadays just do to Master for getting Gems.
IMO Master and above leagues are the best places for training Clan War skills lol.
I totally agree with you on that one,,, while I was maxing my th 8 and upgrading to th 9 I went up to masters to get those gems for that 5th builder in prep for th 9,,, on the way up there and for a a bit of time when I got there I really honed my gowipe attack…
Cheers ?
I am training LavaLoon now at Champion xD
I have done league bonus farming in Masters III. It works quite well as long as you are patient. I was using BARCH with a TH 8 btw, so it works even if your forces aren’t the strongest. Sniping is very effective in Masters III.
Agree. I have no trouble at all while searching for TH outside.
just out of curiosity. where can I find the announcement about the new algorithm for match making. I just want to read more about it. thanks will.
I’m confused about this one…why would u need to drop below 3200+ trophies once u reached champion league??? it makes no sense …. Better to stay in champion,go town hall sniping and keep getting the 180k/18k/1200 loot bonus.
Its been working very well for me. I went to champion league by town hall sniping at TH7. And have remained there ever since. ( im TH8 now) on average I can find about 8 – 10 exposed townhalls every hour,with peaks up to 15. so I can earn anything between 1 million and 3 million in loot every hour,its for sure the best way to get rich!!! Just keep hitting that next button….
I have explained that in the guide above buddy. Dropping your trophies to below 3200 helps you find TH8/9 easier.
Will, drop below 3200, but not lower than 3100, so still in Champion League, was that what you meant ?
Thanks Will
Exactly Pete!
Thank you for this TIPS! Now I am motivated to go to champion using 10 Dragons or 8 Dragons and 20 minions to TH hunt or full raid 🙂
Good luck Chino!
See ya in Champion league!
my base th 9′ i got champion league, just use Pekka 1 lev3′ golem 1 lev 2′ wb 6 lev 5′ giant 15 lev 6′ and many wizard lev 5′ + cc wizard lev 6′ use the earthquake 4′ 1 haste and 2 heal spell, just 1 week i go to champion from gold league
That’s pretty nice buddy! Congrats!
Hey Potter, Im TH9 n in champs from months..Need help..
1. I have noticed when i get raided i lose,mainly 12-16 trophies per star but when i raid ,search for hours i rarely get any base which offers these many trophies. Why so?
2. I get sniped by th8 also ,but the problem is when i search for hours i rarely get ANY TH8 bases & even ‘SNIPES’ are very less. why so? & any solution or tip for this?
3. About the farming strategy u told above ..why to drop below 3200? If I do this i will get th8/9/10 bases (mostly 9/10) but if m above 3200 i’l get all TH level bases so its better right?!
few more question on next comment ..Thank you for helping us & i hope u solve my every query : )
Hi Pragat,
1. Are those attackers weaker than you?
2. I haven’t seen any tip about this. This is Champion and we always get instant attack.
3. Dropping your trophies to under 3200 can help you find bases with the same level as you easier. Yep this is a nice tip.
Thanks for visiting my blog and good luck in game Pragat!
exactly . iam a th8 in champs ii and i cant find any good trophy offers . max offers are always 21 – 25 for maxed th10 bases . possibility of finding a th7/8 is 1/50 . whats frustrating is when i get sniped , i lose a minimum of 15-19 trophies for single star and if i snipe , i get a max of 1-3 . maybe th8 isnt just meant for champs 🙁
Just keep farming in Master leagues and you can go to Champion for sure. Truly sometimes I can’t understand the game lol. Last night, I attacked a Town Hall 8 base (I’m TH10) and got 50 trophies at Champion III. That’s it.
why i need 1 hour to go to 3200 from 3150?
That’s great If you can do it faster buddy!
Yep….!!
You are right the longest time in pushing is between 3150-3200
And that su©ks
LOL yea, don’t give up!
hi Will Potter, i have a problem, one week ago i hit the champion and upgrade my townhall to th9, in th8 i got alot townhall outside, but in th9 i dont know why everything is change, i cant even find one townhall outside, now im very poor 🙁 im out of gold, please help me 🙁 im stuck in th9 now (
Is your trophy below 3200 buddy?
welll i need help.. bcuz m going to champions m already at 3000
trophies.. i m th8… but now i m only getting max th10 ot max th9..which is diificult to even 1star ,,, so wht to do now ? i was at 3058trophies now due to fail attcks m back on 3000.. please help.. m finding a th outside very rarely.. after hours of searchin
I think this guide can give you the best time find bases to snipe: http://cocland.com/tricks-and-tips/best-time-for-farming-in-clash-of-clans
really it was taking a long time to find outside th… then i finally decided to use this technique ,,i prepare 30archs n let the bracks train the troops for gowipe while i search for outside th ..when troops got ready i attck on low th9 or fully upgraded th8 with gud trophies.. Using this i was able to go into masters in 2days with 4-5hours of gameplay .. Didn’t used a single gem during this process.. 😀
Awesome. You are very welcome buddy!
Hey Will! A just wanted to ask you a question.Im at th7 now. Is it worth it if i push my trophies to champions league ?
It’s alway worth it If you have enough passion to do that Kenneth.
will, i dont think you need champs you can stay at master 3 and get 100k each snipe. And any TH8 can make it to masters. just snipe to crystal 2-3 then BAM for 50% and each night train a gowipe for the morning. i made masters in about a week and have been farming there since. also occasinaly an inactive base
But at Champion III, you can have 180k loot each and 1200 DE for every win. It is not hard to find TH outside there also.
just out of curiosity. where can I find the announcement about the new algorithm for match making. I just want to read more about it. thanks will. ..
You can take a look at here buddy: http://cocland.com/miscellaneous/clash-of-clans-update-history
The April 30th Update!
I hit champion about a 2 weeks ago but now I’m down …..its too late ……?
Why is it late Mirza?
Just snipe TH to come back!
Damn….!!
I’m at Gold III Now
And you please take a look at that “Clash of clan day ” Guide…!!
Replied your comment buddy!
Hey Will, would you consider farming level 10 walls by TH sniping in Masters -> Champions league + DE bonus for Royals? Or would you rather just farm in Crystal -> Masters? Currently TH9 153 walls left to do 🙁
Hi Robert,
By following my guide above, there is nothing different between those leagues, except the Loot Bonus. You can still easily find THs outside.
Hey Will, I’ve been doing this kind of style but lately I’ve been experiencing lesser TH hunts to snipe. The Average time I’ll get to snipe lately is in between 20-30 minutes. Is this style still applicable or was it changed?
Currently I am using this trick for farming with my main account and everything is running well so far.
You can take a look at this to choose the best time for farming: http://cocland.com/tricks-and-tips/best-time-for-farming-in-clash-of-clans
When i’m still th8 and th9 and farming in m3 yes there are lots of th out but when i upgraded to th10 i found less th out in m3 but lots in silver league, will try champion 3 soon…
Looking for your great results buddy!

Hey ash,
Can i share my gold, elixir,gems or builder with my clan ?? please help.
Hi Nimish,
You can only donate troops for your Clan mates. Otherwise you can buy Gems for them.
Dude I have recently reached champions 3 as a th9 and tried it. The only bases i find are th10s. I don’t think this strategy is valid anymore. My friend also reached champs today. There are only th10s here. Dropping below 3200 with the champs batch does not work period. Btw I love your website. Keep it up. Cheers.
Hi Nathaniel,
I’m so sorry about that. But I think it’s because of the time when you play. You can take a look at this to find the best time for sniping Town Hall http://cocland.com/tricks-and-tips/best-time-for-farming-in-clash-of-clans
I have been using this strategy for months and I am sure that It is working fine.
Would this work on early TH 9?
Hi Joven, This works with all Town Hall levels buddy!
From my Experience, i have been at champ3 ,and follow this guide, Im at TH9 lv 104. Town Hall snipe need much patient. You can find TH outside around 10-20 minutes. I think if you want farming Dark Elixir in here, there are so freaking effective.. For you TH 8-9.. But if you want farming Gold and elixir (you are hardcore farming mode), i think you should go to silver/gold league.
I suggest you,
1. Safezone. If you want enjoy many loot (Gold Elixir Dark Elixir) you can stay in Champ3 and follow this tips (until now 20th Nov 2015) still working as well (Dont forget to put your TH outside, until now i never attacked with full army troop.)
2. Hardcore Farming. You should go to gold/silver league, farming with BAM or GIBAM
3. Mainstream player. If you are not Crystal/Master/Champ pushing into champ need 3-7 days, thinking what is your purpose, do u need gem ? or only want to farming ? Maybe you must thinking it twice.
at Champ 3 you should get bored for searching TH outside and dead base is freaking hard to find maybe 1-2% for dead base this league.
4. Try new Experience. If you want sweet bonus loot and finding loot bonuses, i suggest you to going Crystal league 2, there are many dead base and TH outside. you can snipe TH easily and farming dead base. You should try to this league.
5. XMod player, You should try to CHamp 3, maybe with Xmod feature finding TH outside and real traps, you can easily goes to Champ3 from silver/gold league only 2-3 days. But at Master-Champ maybe need more patient, because there are few outside TH. My suggest don’t try to attack TH 10 trool base or you will lost many trophies.
Its my experience hope can help you. Feel free to contact me. Add my Facebook (Lim Andriko) or get in into my clan. #29C029L0 (Beast Soul)
Thank you
Thanks for the great comment Lim. We all really appreciate it! Good luck with your Clan as well!
Hi and tnx for this great idea ..
I just want to sure that u are sure:/ about the new search algorithm becuase i was pushing to titan for haveing more loot ! And as i see this i stop pushing and keep my cups between 3100 to 3200
If i can push to titan .. which Strategyby is better and have more loot in th 9 titan loot and attack by lava and ballon or in champion …
Hi Nima,
If you are looking for an easy way to go to the Titan League, take a look at here: http://cocland.com/guides/how-to-get-to-titan-league-fast-and-easy
Nope, I think the developers change it. My friend said that he is experiencing to many TH Hunts in Titan’3. 20 minutes 10-15 snipes.
Been using this method and I can say that it is slow. 15 minutes per snipe and too many decoy bases. I don’t want to risk my thropies. Too much decoy bases.
10-15 Snipes every 20 minutes? Seriously?
I’m so sorry but I think you just can’t do that. Players at Titan don’t care about loot. They just want to save their trophies and always attack with 4 Lavas/Golems.
Also, there are not much player there like in lower leagues.
I was living there for about 2 months.
Hey,
I just want to know
There are some free gems sites, they are real or fake??
They are all fake. They just want you to download some crappy softwares and give you nothing.
Okay..
And at game in shop option we buy gems is real and safe??
What? There is nothing safer than the shop in game.
Okay..
Now i am going th6 so give some tips, base etc.
Heyo Will, I have a question related to this strategy. We can get more loot if we go to 3400 trophies and come down to 3300 trophies basically. But there are not much th snipes in masters or champions because most of them are pushers and try their best to gain trophies!!
Hi Natsu,
This strategy just works for below 3200+ trophies. You can’t apply it at higher.
Heyo Will, I hope that you already know it but with the next update this strategy will be going straight down as the next update will change the whole concept of clash. With it no one would want to place the TH outside as the shield will not be given on TH destruction but upon the total damage done by the attacker like 30% damage = 12 hour shield, 60% damage gives 14 hours and 90% or above gives 16 hour shield. It is not necessary to include th in that percentage so keeping the th outside would be like giving away free trophies as you will not even get a shield for it (the reason why we put it outside. This apparently means that only worthy clash players will now move to higher leagues at least for some time till there is a work around for this. We can still place 30% buildings outside the reach of defenses to increase the possibility of getting shield but that is probably not a good idea so no one will be doing it. Hope you understand what I want to say, this is not going to work after next update of COC.
Hi Natsu,
Thanks for the comment buddy!
This will still work after the update but we will have to use another way for farming. Not sniping TH anymore, we will need to aim for 50% win.
Say something about x-mas tree gifts..
When i receive gifts from x-mas trees on my village.
I’m sure that you will have the X-Mas Trees 1 month later.
Any tips for farming in champions after the update?
At this time I just can recommend you finding bases with lots of buildings outside for a 50% win!
Hey, I was wondering what a good trophy push army is I try 22 giants 2 healers 11 wozards rest archers and I can’t push, plus can u still do this with the update?
I’m a th8 btw I would like to know are lvl 2 minions alright for Bam? I’m upgrading mine to lvl 3 atm.
Hi Joel,
I recommend using BAM If you have at least Minions level 4.
You can give GiBarch a try. I always can break into the enemy core with it!
Hi will, thanks for the advice my friend told me a attack start for trophy pushing now I’m in cry 3 I went from sliver 1 to cry3 in atleast 2 days, I have trouble saving my elixir and dark elixir I get raided to much… Also do u think I should upgrade stuff 1 at s time or upgrade them as soon as I can?
