Elixir in Clash of Clans - How to Get Elixir in Clash of Clans
05/02/2014 01:34The Elixir is one of 4 resources in Clash of Clans. The other resources are Gold, Gems, and Dark Elixir. It is collected in the game by devices called Elixir Collectors and stored using Elixir Storage devices.
What you can purchase with the Elixir
Enough elixir can be used to purchase various important and useful elements in Clash of Clans. These include the army buildings, dark elixir storages, dark elixir drills, gold mines, and gold storages. Elixir is also used to upgrade your troops and to place decorations. Decorations have no practical function in the game. They are merely for aesthetic purposes.
The Elixir Collector and the Elixir Storage
The Elixir Collector is the device in the game that collects elixir from underground. Once it collects the elixir, it stores it temporarily till it is stored in the Elixir Storage, another device used to permanently store the elixir.
Take note that if the elixir collector is attacked while being upgraded there will be no elixir loss as it is empty in this time. Also it's a good idea to upgrade the elixir storage device, as this will give it more hit points. Higher hit points will make it harder to destroy in a raid and to get the valuable elixir inside. This will buy you more time to rally troops to defend the elixir storage. If the elixir storage falls in an attack you will lose the elixir inside.
Following is a cost breakdown of Elixir with upgrading troops. As the level of the troop increases the training cost and research cost also increase.
