Dark Elixir Drill Tactics
Resource Tactics
1) If you do not usually log in and collect Resources every 6 hours, you better upgrade Dark Elixir Drill to level 2 or 3. Otherwise, you will lose the chance to get more Dark Elixir due to full Drill.

2) While the Drill has very low production rate compared to looting, it is advisable to build and upgrade the Drill. This small amount can help the overall community and offset Dark Elixir you lose when gets attacked.

Attack Tactics
1) You can use Dark Elixir Drill as an indicator of Abandoned Village or how long that player is inactive. For example, 90 Dark Elixir is 75% of 120 Dark Elixir from full Dark Elixir Drill level 1, which means that player is inactive for at least 6 hours.

2) Dark Elixir Drill is usually placed at the position that you can easily reach. If you are aiming to get enough Dark Elixir for specific buy or upgrade, you can use only few troops to just destroy the Drill and surrender.
