BAG strategy (raiding)
Can't win any raids? Is it that you have to use 100,000 or more elixir to win raids that have 110,000 elixir? Not resource efficient, or can't win trophies since you lose all raids? Not making profit for resources but tons of loss? Then find out what the BAG strategy is and it'll help you a lot.
What is the BAG strategy?
It is a strategy, of course, where you use Barbarians, Archers and Goblins. Simple and resource efficient. Barbarians for B, Archers for A and Goblins for G, creates BAG which is a raiding strategy which I use a lot.
What is the point, they are all weak troops and won't win raids when you're are in TH (Town Hall) 9 or 10?
Ah, that is not true, since I get a star or two when I use this formation. When they are together they are powerful against an object but Archers are good separately (instant death upon mortars). If you find a stupid, or foolish enough person leaving there mines, collectors (optional if drill) lying outside and protect everything else then its a win.
How do you spawn them and how many troops?
Try and use 1/3 of each troop. If you want wall breakers use about 2-4. e.g. for wall breakers: If you have 180 troops, train 60 Archers and Goblins, then 3 wall breakers have 54 barbarians. Since they are bait and good at the same time. Spawning them, send some Barbarians/Archers to destroy anything out of the reach of defences such as builder huts that lie in the corners, use 1 or 2. Then send Barbarians to a row of objects such as mines, about use 20 spread them out, then send goblins behind them. Then to back them up archers, this will destroy them and take all gold but leave 10,000 behind in storages. Do the same with collectors, army camps, barracks and other objects lying outside the main base. Once you receive one star and destroy everything on the outside, make sure you destroy ALL mines and collectors go for something vulnerable such as a dark elixir drill or storage next to a wall but easy to attack. Spawn everything next to it like before.
Will I need spells?
Not really since it costs more elixir but you can. If you want, use healing spell to heal your troops, freeze spell immobilize defences. Just don't use a Lightning spell as it will not do much.
How much does this cost and what will I earn?
It costs not more than 30,000 elixir not including spells (if I am correct) and you earn about 100,000 to 500,000 elixir and gold from a raid. And it takes a few minutes to train them. So doing it multiple times earns you loot fast and trophies too.
How about bombs, how do I find them?
Be smart and clever, look in the most obvious places a foolish player would place the bomb. Use barbarians as bait to find bombs, if you don't a giant bombs would destroy a group of troops.
Could I raid anyone with this strategy?
Pretty much, as long as you're a smart about how you spawn these guys. I raided a Town Hall 9 player (I am Town Hall 7) with this strategy, earned 200k loot and 9 trophies. Sounds like a lie but is the truth.
How do I tell if the gold and elixir are in the collectors and mines and not the storages?
If the loot is over 100k each that is fine. Check if the elixir storage has nothing in it or has a small bit of elixir inside. The gold storage a coin or two should only be in there. For dark elixir, it's always there since you can't really tell. If these are here then it worked. I will show pictures soon.

Attachment 34248 Don't mind the troops, I was doing a raid for fun, since I recently received level 4 wizards.
Still don't understand, or have other question that you want answered?
I might hopefully have a video up of me doing one of these raids. If you want to ask other questions, comment below and ask, I will reply to you so check the next day or so. In addition, I will add it up here.
So thanks guys for reading this, I hope this was useful as it a good strategy for anytime even farming. When you run out of shield, you can do this. If you took your time to read, thanks. If you want to know my Town Hall, Clan or any other things, only about Clash of Clans, feel free to question me and ask. If this strategy worked and you successfully earned tons and tons of loot and trophies in matters of a few days, comment down below. Thanks!
P.S. I did not find this ANYWHERE on the forums so I think this a brand new post. If you did, I would like to know where. If this strategy didn't work, tell me why and how you spawned troops and what you used. I will try my best to assist you and help.
