What is the best and/or most efficient attack strategy? Barch, or BAM? I've been using bam this whole afternoon and raided 2 mil gold.
If you are going for gold/elixer definitely bam, but even when i go for de i use bam :o
I like Bam :D
BARCH!!! :cool:
With L5 troops, BARCH is better for a combo of DE/Gold farming. BAM is excellent for efficient gold farming though. At TH9 I feel like BAM could be used both for Gold farming and for a small DE profit as well though.
bam bam
10 char
Elixir farming: BAM
Efficiency: BAM
Effectiveness: BAM
DE farming: BARCH
Gold farming:BAM
And the winner is:
BAM(Even though i am currently barching.I'm upgrading the king for the new update).
This is just an opinion though.
I just upgraded my king, so I'm sitting at a low DE range (500-1500 DE), so I have to raid a 400DE base w/gold, or I'll have to start barching.
Wham barch thank you mam?.... No... Go bam....
I Think that all of the good farmers agrees on that BAM are the best alternative to get Resources, it's just a matter of the DE cost.
Depends on which trophy range you're farming.
If you're down at Gold league, then yes BAM is more effective/efficient.
If you're farming at Crystal 2 and up to Master 2, than BARCH is the way to go.
Now, aside from farming if you want to push for trophies, BAM will get you nowhere while BARCH can get you very high.
I'm a BAM believer forever! Its worked for so long. Plus you use the little minions to fly over the walls and steal the gold! :D
No BAG fans?
BARCH
10 chars
BARCH! I haven't used BAM much lol..
BAM is more effective if you know what you are doing, but I still use BARCH because I am most comfortable with that strategy at this moment. When I get to TH 9 (hopefully in the next couple of weeks) I will most likely switch to BAM.

Pro's and cons for both. BAM uses DE but it also means you have troops pumping out into your camps faster and the air troops help a lot with picking off some stuff outside unprotected by air.
BARCH works efficiently with some heal spells. And must destroy splash defenses first to prevent being killed by them in a horde.
BAM, harder to mess up, faster training time, easily the best for gold farming under crystal.
I personally like BAM a lot when farming hardcore because I don't want to spend DE on any troops....and I'm glad I don't because of the new update! BK is level 7 right now, at level 10 he will get the upgraded new feature! So IMO, BAM is great, just take out the splash ASAP!
BARCH because it is cheaper in DE, if you have a lot of DE go with BAM because it is less time consuming
I use both, However I favour BAM when farming.
I think BARCH is amazing!! Great for collector raids. All you have to do is find them...
This is a very old and yet ongoing argument. Let's step aside from personal preferences and talk about real BAM vs. Barch.
1. Some people say Barch is better for trophy hunting, but is it still bach if you use Heroes, wiz/witches from CC and/or golems?
2. If i use 10 minions and rest is Barch, is it considered BAM? :)
I voted BAM, but this argument to me personally is tomayto tomahto.

any replays to show 3 starring th8-9 whit barch without heroes and spell free? Just curious.

same here, curious as well.Quote:

basic knowledge
Barbarian & archer = land troops, blocked by walls to reach target.
Minions = air troop, fly over walls, easy to reach target.
if you limit yourself to raid, why still using barch?
BAM DEFINITELY has a higher percentage success of raiding
I BAM for resources.
10 yeses 😋Quote:

BAM and BARCH both suck hard, best is still GIANT/GOB/WB/ ARCH
Sure i agree! But, it wasnt an option..Quote:

When i used bam my minions always got caught in an air bomb so to me barch is my favorite by far
barch is my go-to
thats why spawn a bait for air bomb first.Quote:

I love both. It depends if you are trying to conserve your DE or not.
I will say what is better for me. BARC..I farm loot and cups in Champ League with it.
Even at a (Maxed) Th7, with Lv4 Barbs and Archers and Lv2 Minions, I can make a clean million gph, which is considerably higher than what I have gotten from BArch (300-400 gph), and it will only improve with Lv6 minions on the horizon!
Quick question... Whats bam? I know what barch is but never heard of bam
BAM is definitely faster and can get deeper into a storage raid, but need to search for DE to maintain the profit. I use barch because I don't need to worry about finding DE to pay for the minions
I tried using the BAM method, but I just didn't have any luck. They got 1 hit by the archers and wizards totally screwed them up. Now, I just use BARCH with wbs and use two rage spells with the lightning for the CO troops.
It is because barch can get 50% on the outside quite easily while bam dies a lot faster due to the air element being closer and also no meat up high meaning bam dies faster in this strategy without enough time to destroy 50%Quote:

BARCH.
I take tons of collector loot and always never lose. (sometimes even 3star)
I prefer barching. Im farming for Gold/DE so pumping out minions would cut into that (even the small amount that it is).
I think bam is more efficient!
both is great, I always carry 20 minions...
If it's easy collector raid, I will BARCH and save the minions for later
If it's tough base, Then I will release the minions
I voted BAM, as it is faster.
However, I use barch more, as I like to save DE.
Can someone explain to me how barch or bam is going to work if you don't have wallbreakers?
I used BAM a bit in the past but still needed a couple of WBs to farm properly. but training WBs takes a long time.
Also, the training time/housing space ratio for barbarians are the same as that of giants. so why choose barbarians over giants when giants have a massive health advantage and are not prone to splash damage.
I go bagm
super efficient for collector raids
well i use jump spell instead of WB loooolQuote:

BARCH ftw!
Because with BAM/Barb, you aim for the outside of the base (collectors and barracks and stuff like that).Quote:

I thought BAM would get more votes... It's way quicker.
I will be sure to BARCH when I start pushing, since I read it's way better for that.
I generally do not like to mix ground and air troops. Since some defenses can attack only one or the other.... why include both in army and make yourself susceptible to the FULL strength of the defense.
If you don't need to go in too deep for the storages, a couple wall breakers will do. If you are just taking out collectors and mines, then the batch is fine.
Granted... the BAM army trains faster, but I'd rather have the flexibility of the BArch.
Very true.Quote:
