Summary

  • The Elixir Storage allows you to save your hard-earned Elixir so that you can use it for future upgrades.
  • The amount of Elixir an attacker may loot depends on the defender's Town Hall level (See Percent Lootable by Town Hall Level below).
  • When your Elixir Storages are full, any Elixir gained from raids will not go into your Elixir Storage but will count to the total amount of loot stolen from the player. It will also count toward the Elixir Escapade Achievement.
  • Elixir Storages are still fully functional while being upgraded.
  • Upgrading your Elixir Storage to a higher level than you require for storage purposes can potentially save Elixir in a raid. As an attacker receives an amount of Elixir proportional to the percentage of damage each hit causes, the higher health of the upgraded building results in less Elixir per hit. It also takes longer to destroy, giving you more time for your defenses to destroy the attacker before they can steal all the available Elixir.
  • The Elixir Storage is the counterpart of the Gold Storage, and vice versa.
  • Although it stores Elixir, it is upgraded with Gold.

Upgrade Differences

  • The Elixir Storage undergoes significant visual changes at levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14.
    • At level 1, the Elixir Storage appears as a glass ball with a cork.
    • At levels 2 to 4, one more glass ball is added at each level until there are four of them.
    • At level 5, instead of adding a fifth glass ball, they are replaced by a single large one. The cork is still on it, but is scaled so that it has the proper size needed.
    • At levels 6 to 8, the already massive glass ball grows continuously larger and larger. The direction of the cork alters at level 7.
    • At level 9, the two wooden support stakes are removed in favor of four golden yellow footings. The cork is also replaced by a grey metal spigot near the base of the vessel.
    • At level 10, the four footings receives spiked armor plating on each corner.
    • At level 11, the glass ball gains a spiked metal band around the waist of the vessel.
    • At level 12, it gains large stone footings, parts of the spigot are lined with gold, and a large hole is cut in the top, similar to the Dark Elixir Storage.
    • At level 13, like the Gold Storages, all spikes are removed and replaced by a few large spikes. The large hole on top is lined with a dark gray color and changes to a square like shape.
    • At level 14, the footings get coated with a Dark Elixir-like material. The spigot and the metal band grow bigger.
    • At level 15, the footings of the storage lose the blue spikes, lose the large Dark Blue colored support and gain a large, grey metal-like support with gold platings and linings on it. On the spherical vessel, it loses the white metal ring, and gains a thinner, darker, smaller ring with a gold piece, and a small green one as well, at the end of the incomplete ring.
    • At level 16, the footings are reinforced with thicker purple frames with gold plating on top. On the glass ball, a thicker metal ring is added with gold upside-down equilateral triangles and patterns next to them on both sides. The hole on top of the ball changes into a triangle encased with thick golden plates.
