Barbarian farming :) :)

Hey guys, I constantly see a lot in farming videos about people using loads and loads of archers, I am different.

Not sure if anyone else does what I do, but having level 6 barbs: 110 HP, 26 DPS, 150 elixir cost and only 20 seconds to make, is extremely effective at farming gold.

I pump out 195 Barbs in ((195/4) x 0.3333*) = 16 minutes roughly. at a cost of 195 x 150 = 29,250 elixir.

Farming at the 1500-1800 range any base that is above 80k in both resources I will attack. Usually resulting in 80%-All resources taken.

I have noticed that pumping out roughly 40 Barbarians after an initial circle to take out the "Distraction buildings" towards a wall section (notice they will always target the weakest point, a corner etc). 40 x 26 = 1040 damage per second , any wall level 8 and below will drop in roughly 3 seconds, once the barbs are in they will spread reducing and splash damage, and destroying building nearly insantly.

In a bad situation the barbs will take at worst 2 hits from a mortar to die and 3 hits from a wizzy tower to die, but positioning barbarians in the right place will take advantage of mortar deadzone or allow them to break through and get through these defences.

Not sure if any of you guys do this either, but at a 16 minute downtime (about 13 because they will continue being made while raiding) I can usually next in around 400-800k of resources an hour of each.

Let us know your thoughts :)

all barbs army kind of limits the bases you can attack though... but yeah it's the quickest army you can build for sure.

I seriously have not been limited yet, attacked level 8 walled players with max mortars and wizzy towers and still if you can use them right and distract mortar fire and drop barbarians simultaneously in bursts you can quickly overwhelm your opponent

Barbarians are very fun to use :)

But I wouldn't use a one-type army

You should give it a go if they are high level Barbs, extremely fun, fast and cheap

I did that for a little while back a couple months ago. As time went on, I found mixing barbs and archers at a 3:1 ratio worked much better, then I figured out that barbs, archers, and gobs at 2.5:1:1 works the best.

Usually just use the CC archers for cheap disposal :) :)

I use 14 wall breakers 14 giants 53 archers/gobs works well for me but I'll try the barb technique I'm kinda skeptical though.

Type it in smaller case letters, so no one can see....

this is what I do.

This is actually me.

This base was pretty easy, but its the same strategy I use for harder bases too

I have a 205 troop limit

102 barbs 103 archers

It's really funny you posted this OP - I finally got my lvl6 barbs last night so i raised an all barb army just to see what it would be like in terms of efficiency etc....pretty much as you said really.

My conclusion is either i need to change my raiding style or more likely you really need a mix, the wiz towers behind walls in particular are really difficult to deal with only barbs as they bunch up a lot and suffer the splash damage.

Fun seeing all of those little chaps in one place though

Argh! Wizzy towers can be annoying, but once you get used to the AI of the barbs since they target the closest Enemy building in range you can usually keep that wizzy shooting 1 barb at a time in a small flow while the rest of your 40+ just punch through the wall and kill it in 2 seconds :)

Really really fun!
