I am in Crystal 2 right now at around 2300 trophies. My base had been winning but now lost 3 straight, and 2 of them were 3 stars, so I am looking for a good base. Also, I have been using Barbs+Archers+Rage the whole time. If you have a better army, please let me know (Look at my troop levels).
Here are the bases I have used:

To be honest, barching is the way to go for you. I would have said balloonion then I realized that you had level 5 balloons.

P.S. Tip on barching, train up lightning spells instead of rages because they take less time to train and they get you the extra percentage you need to win.

Thanks! I'll start using Lightning spells instead of rage now!
Oh yeah, I should probably post my spell levels. editing..

I used Hogs to go to Masters...and still use Hogs in Masters....

My Hogs are only lvl3...even my Heal spell is not maxed yet..but I use 4 of them on every raid.

But once you are in Masters, you are going to have a very hard time getting a base to raid with Hogs...so i win in defense too...you win in defense you get easy 20~30 trophies...sometimes you lose a defense 1 star cost you about 8 cups (or slightly more or less). Don't underestimate what you have...some raiders who are from premium clans also makes mistakes and lose. But so far I encountered Master 2 and 1 are very good. Thats why I stay slightly lower than 2700. Maybe later I go back down to farm and built myself stronger, I will go up further

So it is pretty possible to hit almost masters with Raged Barch?

Rage is not good for barch. I recommend 4 lightning spells, for cc troops and extra buildings, when using barch :)

For a TH9 to Barch a TH10 is very difficult to go over 30%....unless you have a very high BK/AQ and strong CC troops that will finish up the job

I have around the same troop level as you do and I'm currently sitting at 2620 trophies and climbing. I use 28 hogs, 10 wizards, 20 archers, 2 giants, and 5 minions. Don't attack multi target infernos no matter the loot :P and always be sure to knock out the clan castle troops and heroes before sending the hogs in. Id suggest being smart with shields and boosting spell factory so u have 4 heal spells every raid. Good Luck!!

EDIT: Im not sure what th level you are but i have a great th9 base. Clan name "Elderado" IGN "doolabh"

Not possible. I've done 50% with barch before in masters 2 league with no heros, cc troops or lightning spells used in 1 out of 5 raids.

You have to search for a base with most of the buildings outside and NOT enclosed behind walls (at least 35 of them) because to 50% a TH10, you need to destroy 41 buildings. While your barch army clears the outside buildings you then let your hero and spells do the last minute jobs if no troops remains.

Just from my experience as a maxed-out TH9, I used barch strictly from 1900 to 2867 trophies. No Hog Riders, No Balloonians. Rely more on your attacks and LESS on your defense.

Also, try to find anti-hog base. I normally get attacked by hog riders here in master 2.

Also swap rage out, it's useless, undermines the reason why you're using BARCH. Barch is only 20 minutes to train. You're training rage spells 4 of them is 45 minutes with booster. Doesn't make sense right? Use 4 lightning spells. (30 minutes with booster). Rage IMO works only well with troops like barb king and wizards and queen and pekka/dragons since they dish a higher damage output per shot.

I saw your base! It looks really good! I JUST remodeled though, so if my new base is doing bad, I'll switch to yours. Thank you.

hey, I use 27lvl3 hogs,12 Wiz, 4Giants and the rest Arch/barb, 4 heal spells....so we are in the same shoes...lol...

Anyway maintaining at 2600 to 2700 is easy, but go above 2700 is like a whole new lvl since bases will be Master 3,2,1 class...no more getting an easy Crystal 1 base

Uploading Pictures of Attack and Defense log, base, etc. ASAP.. Photobucket is lagging on me

The new base I used barely one the first time, the attacker got 49% and I got +24.
But the next time I got 3 starred for -34. Need a solid base!!
February 23rd, 2014
MrN8

I have decided that I won't do a serious push until all my defenses are maxed. I don't have enough time right now to be attacking for hours, and my defense keeps losing. Masters, I'll come for you later!
This means... time to FARM!

Thats normal, it happens every time, you lost only 10cups...thats nothing, you need to raid more times....yes press next like crazy until you get an easy 3 star win...then do the same, it will take you hours. If there are outside TH...then its a bonus for you.

Regarding defense, dun rely on it too much...its a bonus if you won some trophies through it..some of my friends who have Massive TH10 also gets 3 star defeat by raiders

Another clan member lost his Masters after being too low and was Revenged of 54 trophies in one raid...total he lost 100 cups in one day. And the next day he came back strong to be back in masters...salute him

Hey thats OK...I tried it 3 times to get there...twice with a TH8 and once with a TH9, all failed at 2550...then I went looking for answer and solution, that includes joining a few clans and learning many new things...especially "Hogs"....and uses of spells. But my Hogs were only Lvl3 and Spells not maxed....to cut the story short...I came back to my clan, and someone thought me other things like how to lure Heroes and CC troops etc....and at the end of it, with what I have...I come to Masters and been here for a few weeks.

Also, I did go to your Clan to check out a few things...especially the Top 10...I must say, they are doing quite OK job there, but most of them are in no position to feed your CC high lvl troops that so important to get that extra 1% to win or kill the heroes. Nor are they capable of guiding you how to get to Masters.
I'm not saying you should join another clan...but you have to think of it

Thats the feedback I can give

Thanks bro! Yeah I am just helping a friend here, but I don't have a permanent clan. Do you have any suggestions?

lol, I could say mine...but actually...look at those ppl that defeated you during your journey to Masters...or the once you lost the raids to....

Check out their clans....the more crystals and masters they have, the more better for you

Once I got defeat so badly by a raider, it humiliated me..I was amazed how he defeated me soo badly and how better his clan was compared to mine.....and I joined his clan....now, after a few months ....I'm the Leader there...no jokes

Cheers
