I always used BARCH but now I'm feeling I need to improve my way of raiding, I don't know if its the new system or what. So let us hear what army is getting you all the loot out there!

Bagm
Barbs Arxher gobs or giants or both minions
barch has still been working for me
Giant/healer with support from archers/goblins
i was th 8 for around 4 months... i was a preemi but i used arch and gob nothing else so i could use a couple of them hit all the collectors and run, constantly raiding if you keep 2 barracks full of gobs and 2 full of arch... good luck.
Im TH9 now, but barch has always been my favorite.
I'm just doing a mixture of archers, some giants , wb and barbs hah, working well slowly but meh.. Thanks for sharing your armies guys
Barch and wallbreakers fills my storage.
Barch.
By the time you return from a raid your camp fills up fast and it's a relatively original strategy.
Also, I find it very easy to control trophy range with this composition.
Right now I am farming around 1700 trophy range.
(per barrack) 3 giants 2 wizards 2 wall breakers 15 archers 5 gobs 3 barbs
this army works well with 1 rage and 2 healing spells
good luck and happy clashing!
Well, I usually feel bad when I have to skip a 400k/400k/3k base just because the base is designed against farming armies, and loot is in core, so I go 70 barbarians, 54 archers, 32 goblins, 10 wallbreakers, and about six wizards. Kind of pricy and time-consuming, but it fits my style and(no offense) can be much more interesting than collector raiding(though less efficient). Btw, it's sort of like a hybrid army, and I try not to use my wallbreakers and wizards in raids.
Barch... Pretty simple.
;)
I do that too,
I Usually go for a town hall 7, maybe if a low th 8. Somtimes a th 6 because I can get 100k gold from them. The strategy is to just run circles with your fingers around the base. Barbs first then some archers then barbs again to clean up.
Good luck
*I favor Archers* they have; Good speed. Range. Target Over walls. Hit Air/Ground. Are 2ndfastest troop to train. (Very fragile tho..) and Minions too. For similar reasons..
*I almost always carry WBs in my builds. 4-8, or 10-12 if I cued too many…
My Goto Farm builds:
All-out-Arch: 200 Archys -or- Arch’n’Breaker 184-192 archers, 4-8WBs
Barch’n’Breaker: 8-10 WB, 110-120 Arch, rest Barbs
BAM’n’Breaker: 8 WB, 30-40 Barbs, 22-30 Minion, rest Archers (110 or so)
BAG’n’Breaker: 40 Gob 40 Barb 8-10 WB, Rest Arch (*BAGG* see below)
BAG’M: 70 Arch, 30 Gob, 30-40 Barb, 15-20 Minion (4-8 WBs)
GAG’M: 8-10 WBs, 12-16 Giants, 40 or so Gobs rest Archy (maybe some Minions)
My usual build is; BAGG'M'n'Breaker. especially since the new loot-cap update.
8 each Giant/WBs… up to 22 Minions (cleanup usually) and an Archer-heavy mix of Barb/Gob (20 Gob, 20-30 Barb) and rest Arch as close to 100 as I can get..I cue the WBs and or Giants when the camps fill so they can cook whilst I acquire a suitable target.
2each WB/Giant 5 Gob 5-10 Barb rest Arch per barrack (variableto the current no. in camp)
*11 Minions each dark barrack, if I need them* just cut back on the Barbs/Arch/Gobs..
2Heal 1Rage, -or- 3Heal, -or- 1Thor 1Heal 1Rage.. -or- 1Thor 2Heal for spell combos..
I find this build is very Balanced and can be used for collector raids (no Giants/WB needed) and Coring-to-Stores…and 1 Star trophy pushing on weak bases, or low THs in higher ranges. builds pretty quick around 20-25 min depending.
Strategy: I try to raid only with BAG'M (Gob) from this build, then for the deeper/segmented loots use the WBs and Giants spells and BK.
Send out 5 Barbs/Minions each, to test for traps/bombs, and lure the CC and AQ/BK.. send up to 20 Barbs and a few Archers/Minions to off them in a corner.. Then raid the base. Rage and Heal (BK) as needed for real tough or segmented base layouts. Gobs and Minions clean up after the Barb/Archys/Giants get to the loots. if I'm pushing Trophs throw in the BK for the extra missing % to help get the stars..
Ranges vary..
Good Luck
but loots have been lower since update, (as per the usual low loot post update, so we will need time to evaluate the situation further...)
BAM at 1600 is the only army you ever need at TH8. You can farm gold or DE with it and since you are taking advantage of all of your barracks it's by FAR the most efficient.
Why would you even bother getting to the core of a base when it's so easy to just BAM collectors/mines/pumps. Forget about getting 100k using an entire BARCH army. You should be shooting for 250k gold raids using only 100 troops. Plus, at 1600 there's enough pumps sitting around to keep the DE flowing for minions. It is by FAR the most efficient strategy for accumulating gold or DE. With the new update its extremely important for us TH8s to be able to grab as much gold as you can before you log of so the strategy almost has to be BAM for 1 hour with collector raids to replace what you are going to lose once you log off.
I stay right at 1600 and just keep all my barracks full at all times and I hit next a ton. The key is to get the most loot with the least amount of troops. Earlier today I got 350k gold with 13 troops (sorry for leaving the base without a shield but I couldn't resist). A lot of times using this method I will end up with a ton of minions (60-70). If that happens, I use them like barbs and archers on the next raid and keep on rolling. Many times when you find full mines you also find full pumps so I will use the extra troops to get the DE. And occasionally I will find someone with 2000 DE sitting out on the edge behind one wall and I will always take that. If I start getting low on Trophys or find that I lose too much DE I just switch to focusing on DE and TH sniping.
My method is boring as hell as it's just hitting next until you find a ton of gold sitting in mines and stealing it...but it works. For fun I will generally cook some hogs or a gowipe once or twice a day and have a go at a nice th9 or 10. I generally get smoked but it keeps the game fun.
Goblins.
I don't care what people say about the BAM army - a farmer with no goblins is just, well, wrong. lol

The little (mohawk-loving) Potatroll
With the new loot system & elixir for spell i had since change my army to
4gaints(lvl5) , 8wb, 10-15minions , 80barbs , rest mixture of globins & archers. (Lvl4)
What so good about this mixture i feel is not only can raid just merely collector but at times i 100% some th6/7 sometimes even premmie 8. Just rage the barbs if they enter the core they usually wipe out most defenses & i find them actually more effective then giants if u alr taken out the mortars & wizards.
1) cost saving
2) time saving
3) u can try to 50% some badly design base just using the few gaints as meatball & go for storage.
I do 10wb, 10 giants, 50 archers, 80 gobs is what i use most of the time i only use half the army. The only time i use them all is if i feel it's worth it so i get the storages
I use barch and barch alone and I have 310 million gold grab at TH8.
Im a th 8, and I have had very successful farming at 2100 trophies. I Use 12 giants, 5 wallbreakers, 40 goblins, the rest archers. I find 400k+ of each loot on a regular basis. and I've had a 2.3 million overall haul since the update. U might find it hard to keep that trophy range, but hang in there, it's the best trophy range of farming for big loot.
Barbarians, Archers, Wall Breakers, and Minions if I want really fast armies.
104 archers, 16 giants, 8 wb. I should try something different probably. Oh and often a heal spell is needed for the giants.
I've just been using goblins wallbreakers and minions
