My favorite part about Elixir is that as soon as you document your code with comments and examples of how to use it, examples become automation tests magically. No more "outdated comments" problem - CI shows them as failed tests! This is a brilliant solution!! For sure you have a pretty formatted documentation website generated with just one CLI command. And I don't even mention method overloading, guard clauses, awesomeness of pattern matching, etc.

[@nemene8585]

The Elixir Collector card is unlocked from the Rascal's Hideout (Arena 13). It is a building with moderate hitpoints that provides the player with extra Elixir. It appears as a wooden building with a vertical glass channel in between two wooden seals, in which Elixir keeps pumping up. A pipe and a hose are fixed behind it, with a small puddle of Elixir back and to the left of the collector tube. An Elixir Collector card costs 6 Elixir to deploy.

[@therabbidt]

The Elixir Collector collects Elixir from an unlimited underground reserve (a.k.a Ley Lines) and stores it until collected by the player and placed into an Elixir Storage. When the collector is full, production will be stopped until it is collected (or raided by an enemy player). The production rate and capacity depends on the level of the Elixir Collector. Players can get an idea of how much Elixir the collector is storing by how full the tank appears. The Elixir Collector takes up a 3x3 tile space. Tapping on the collect icon collects all Elixir from all Elixir Collectors. When you choose to upgrade an Elixir Collector, it will automatically collect any uncollected Elixir. Note that if your Elixir Storages are full at that time, the uncollected Elixir will be lost! During the upgrade the collector temporarily stops producing Elixir. Once the Elixir Collector is level 5, you can temporarily boost its production with Gems or a Resource Potion. Spending Gems will double the Collector's production for one day, while using a Resource Potion will double all Home Village resource collectors' production rate for one day. When you click to boost the Elixir Collector, a clock appears for a few seconds. Level 1-4 Elixir Collectors cannot be boosted with Gems, but can still be boosted using a Resource Potion. However, you can only use the potion if you have a collector that can be boosted with Gems (either a level 5 or higher Gold Mine or Elixir Collector, or any level of Dark Elixir Drill). If you upgrade the Elixir Collector while a boost is active, the boost will end prematurely, even if the upgrade is later cancelled (or completes) at a time where the boost would have been active.

[@baxiry.]

@@therabbidt The best way to quickly collect elixir is to destroy opponents' villages.

[@therabbidt]

@@Elsa-rq2ty you father definitely isnt

[@zatyspetery]

Use the Elixir Collector to boost Elixir production so you can deploy your cards more quickly. The Elixir Collector can be used as a distraction for building targeting troops, such as the Giant, but this is a last-resort option as it has relatively few hitpoints for a very high cost. Use this card on defense only when you have to defend for the last few seconds. Using the Mirror with Elixir Collectors is a high-risk high-reward as the player can place multiple Elixir Collectors at the same time, increasing the player's Elixir production by slightly more. If the player continues to place them, they will always have a high amount of Elixir and will be able to defend against almost any scenario. You gain 16 Elixir, but you spend 13 Elixir, creating a profit of 3 Elixir overall. However, this means that the player should have to have a major Elixir advantage or be very confident about defending after spending 13 Elixir. Usually, this is not effective nor is it an advisable play, as the opponent will most likely take advantage of the player's lack of Elixir and send their push, doing serious damage as the player is defenseless, so have some cheap troops at the ready just in case. Keep in mind that the Elixir Collector is a building, so using damaging spells such as the Fireball can damage them, reducing their lifetime to produce Elixir. In fact, a Fireball at least 2 levels higher can completely destroy an Elixir Collector for a 2-Elixir profit and the added bonus of denying the Collector any Elixir if used fast enough, effectively making your opponent waste 6 Elixir. Therefore, It's recommended to not place an Elixir Collector unless your opponent has already just used a Fireball or any spell that does similar/more damage than it. Spells also cost Elixir. When both the Elixir Collector and the Fireball are at tournament level, the Fireball can do 572 damage to the Elixir Collector, leaving it with 316 health (from 888). Since the Elixir Collector is automatically dealt 12.685 damage per second (888 HP/70 second lifetime), it will have time to produce 3 elixir. Subtracting the cost of the Elixir Collector from this (6), the user of the Elixir Collector is left with a 3 elixir loss, while the loss of its opponent is -4. This however turns beneficial if other troops or a Tower is caught in the blast. The remaining production can still be used to quickly field troops that are countered by the Fireball. A Three Musketeers or Barbarians based attack can be game-changing without a Fireball in rotation. Provided it doesn't get damaged, the Elixir Collector will give a profit of 2 Elixir over its lifetime. This is reduced to 1 Elixir when it is mirrored. It is an ideal card to place down if the player has full Elixir and wishes not to waste any. By putting down the Elixir Collector, not only will the player be able to continue gaining Elixir, but they will have more Elixir in the future. However, placing down this 6 Elixir building will leave the player fairly vulnerable to opponent attacks for the time being. If the opponent has a card which can eliminate an Elixir Collector instantly (such as a Rocket) the Elixir Collector can probably still serve as an invaluable ally in your deck for the whole game, as long as the opponent's Rocket is used elsewhere. If you have the Rocket and wish to use it on the Elixir Collector, it is important that you do so as soon as possible before the Collector generates any Elixir to make a neutral Elixir trade. Although the Elixir Collector is a building, it is still effective to have another building in the deck, such as a Cannon, to defend against cards such as the Hog Rider. This is because these troops will be able to target the player's towers directly unless they have a second building. If any player holds up 10 Elixir, the Elixir Collector will not give that player 1 Elixir, but instead will hold it until the player uses a card. This is valuable evidence to show that the opponent could possibly do a full-on assault, as they can play cards worth a total of 11 Elixir at once. Letting the Elixir Collector hold onto the extra Elixir is generally a bad idea. If it holds on to it for too long, the player will miss out on 1 Elixir. Due to the 1 second server delay, the optimal time to place a unit is at 0.5 seconds when it is holding onto an Elixir so that you will not lose any profit. When the player has placed down their Elixir Collector, they can find out when their next Elixir is coming by looking at the collector. When the next Elixir is ready, the central channel will be filled with pink Elixir, and it will then dispense the Elixir and empty itself. Placement of the Elixir Collector is important in the optimal defense against certain spells, and adaptations will need to be made on the fly to maximize performance. The first one is behind the Princess Tower. This is a bad position when the opponent has a Rocket since they can destroy the Elixir Collector and deal massive damage to the Arena Tower. However, this is a good location when the opponent uses the Poison, as it gives the player more space to place their defending units. The second one is in the middle. This is a good position against the Miner and the Goblin Drill as they will be targeted by both Princess Towers, and the Rocket cannot damage the Arena Tower when it destroys the Elixir Collector, but this is a bad position against the Poison because it can poison the player's defending troops. These placements generally apply only to passive buildings such as spawners and, of course, the Elixir Collector, as defensive buildings generally need to be placed in between the Towers. The player must address the Elixir Collector or they are risking an Elixir disadvantage. They can use a spell or the Miner to destroy the Elixir Collector. If they don't have any of those, they can pressure their opponent and be very aggressive to prevent the opponent from making strong combos. If an opponent has an Elixir Collector right next to their King's Tower, and its hitpoints are close to full, it is generally a good idea to send a Goblin Barrel or Miner to it, as they will deal major damage to the Collector and the Crown Towers will usually destroy the troop before it can get a chance to activate their King's Tower. In turn, this becomes a gradually less valuable play as the Collector decays, as the amount of Elixir that the counter unit can deny decreases and the likelihood of a King's Tower activation increases. The opponent could also use a Tornado to force the unit to target the King's Tower, leaving the Collector with most of its health remaining. Because the Elixir Collector cannot appear in the starting hand, using it in a deck can allow the player to manipulate their starting hand for a more optimal defense, as the deck would only be able to choose between 7 cards instead of 8. The Elixir Collector is affected by Rage, technically allowing it to produce extra Elixir. However, its lifetimer decays more quickly under a Rage spell's effect, meaning 3 Rage spells are needed to produce only one extra Elixir from the Elixir Collector. This results in a massive 5 Elixir deficit, and thus is an ineffective strategy. In the Rage Challenge, all buildings' (including the Elixir Collector's) lifetimes are unaffected, but in Elixir Collector's case, the Elixir producing speed is, allowing it to produce up to 11 Elixir instead of the usual 8 in the challenge.
