Dark Elixir Storage
The Dark Elixir Storage
- Definition
- This Dark Elixir Storage allows you to save your hard earned dark elixir. It is used to buy and upgrade the Heroes, purchase the Seeking Air Mine (Bomb), and to train and upgrade the new Dark Elixir Troops.
- Dark Elixir Storage is a transparent, rectangular-shaped building. It is stated that this storage had to resemble a cube due to the dark elixir's power.
- 5% of the total dark elixir in the storage (up to 2k for the raid) can be stolen by attackers.
- The Dark Elixir Storage building takes up a 3x3 space.
- The Dark Elixir Storages remain fully functional while being upgraded, like all other Storages.
- Some people deliberately avoid getting the drill and just get the storage because it is much faster to raid for dark elixir than it is to collect it on your own.
- If a player without a Dark Elixir storage raids dark elixir, the looted dark elixir will not be stored and will simply disappear. It will, however, give credit toward the Heroic Heist achievement.
- It is hard to tell visually if a Dark Elixir Storage is full or not.
- Dark Elixir is the hardest resource to get, except maybe for Gems.
- Upgrade By Level
- This Dark Elixir Storage goes through mostly minor graphical changes as it is upgraded. The two biggest changes occur at levels 3 and 5.
- When initially constructed, the Dark Elixir Storage consists of a transparent, slightly rounded cubical storage vessel situated on a four-legged wooden platform.
- The level 2 Storage adds a brass frame to the top of the vessel and a metal spigot at the base.
- At level 3, the grows substantially in size, and the both the wooden platform and brass frame are replaced by versions made of steel.
- For level 4 Storage gains dark gold legs.
- On level 5 Storage receives spiked steel armor plating on each of the four corners of the base.
- And level 6, these armor plates become slightly wider with a pair of small golden spikes on each, and the steel frame atop the vessel turns golden as well.
