Then I throw in 10-20 minions in the mix for situational sniping(and burning some of that DE). As mentioned, sniping unprotected buildings using archers are a must and makes getting stars easier. I usually start to look for opportunities in army camps as they have a lot of hp and can make my troops clump together when i send them out. Then, look for areas that are unprotected by air defenses(no ATs, ADs and a bit farther WTs) to use minions. Only go for 2 stars if its still efficient for me. For the clan castle, send out archers one at a time until enemy clan castle is empty, then you can lightning them.

Ofcourse, the easiest way to get 2 stars is to pick the right bases. I attack only those with easy to reach resources and underleveled splash towers. Then just circle your barbs around the base using two fingers for faster deployment. Then circle your archers once you drop all your barbs. Sometimes you get even three!

Lol only works in the lower levels, you can't just dump your troops (:, especially with all them max defense....

video of how this tactic is used has been added. (Bump)

The only problem with Barbarians and Archer mobs is that a lot of them are needed to be deployed at once to be effective, and that is when Mortars and Wizard towers make short work of them. Therefore, unless you are able to carry along maybe 2 or 3 Level 3 Lightning spells, then I wouldn't recommend using this tactic.

Or in other words youre making assumptions based on general knowledge,lightning spell isn't necessary, they are good for taking out motars and cc troops, but with every combination people use spells so are you saying that unless you have level 3 lightning you should use most combinations? Jorge Yao use to use 4 max lightning spells and 11 dragons.

Watch my video and finish reading the guide, I explained that it isn't smart to send out all of them out as a mob at once or you will fail entirely, you actually need to use strategy to get 50% instead of sending out 400k worth of dragons on rage....
motars are slow so using maybe 15 barbs and they take out the building faster than the motar hitting them, they wouldve moved out of the way, you need to learn to estimate it. You don't need alot to be effective.... Archers are good to take out isolated buildings which are not protected and barbs are good for tanking a few hits while taking out out side buildings and archers will finish the job. At times you may not even need spells, but rage is good to use if you're rushing for time. Plus you would have more faith in your setup than sending out golems and rest are pekkas because they will move in their own course and you could end up falling short depending on the base.

plus the huge HP troops fail against the inferno tower now where as barbs and archers are not very affected by it.

Wel besides all that, barbs and archers can be very effective. I use 80-90 barbs 90-100 archers and 6-8 wallbreakers. Barbs always create a distraction. Very helpful. Just depends what trophy level. You might need to throw in a few giants in crystal, but till 1800, I feel this will work well. Thanks you

nice strategy,got to try it xD

Im am currently at 2595 trophies still using pure barbs and archer (150barbs and 90archers) as well as 3lightning and 2rage spells, you don't really need wall breakers but it will make things easier. You just have to be picky about the base you fight, barbs take out out side building and archers clean up and attack over the wall along with archer queen.

though tbh, I'm thinking about adding 1-2 witches to the army, but not entirely sure yet.
