I'm TH8, so maybe our farming ability might be different.

Basically with that combo, my archers and goblins will be queued at the start.

So if I see bases with collectors outside that are full, with 100k+, I will not hesitate to just deploy my archers/goblins to take down collectors and quit match.

Lazy farming matches I usually can rebuilt my army in around 5~8 mins.

For matches where I go full force, usually rebuilt army around 18~20 mins.

thats 3~6 matches per hour.
Each raid is around 100k~200k gold.

So yeah.

You can check out my raids here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?feat...gz8QcsfpOOTkr8

- 30 barbs
- 30 archers
- 10 giants
- 10 WB's
- 1 healing spell
- 1 lightning spell
- Sometimes, clan castle troops

Total cost:40400 elixir + 40000 gold = 80400 total

Rate from 1-10 please

ahh queuing strategy a man of my own heart hehe. i take a slightly different approach, i put giants first and goblins second. i do the giants first because they are training for 2 minutes while i search for a match, if i see a lazy collector only opponent i usually tank 4 giants (cause they are done training) and use goblins for the rest. get back to my base, take 4 giants out of the queue and move 'em to the back and let the gobs rebuild.

occasionally i take a bit too long and end up with 12 giants the next round instead of 8.

I always farm with the same troops:

170 troop capacity:

• 100 goblins
• 35 archers
• 5 giants
• 5 wallbreakers

Get the giants upgraded first, then the healer.


I run 1 healer, 14 giants, 5-10 wallbreakers, then the rest is half archers and half gobs.

Actually.. After raiding for so long, I personally think it didn't matter.

I didn't do the math, but I seriously don't think it matters at all.
As in whether you put giants first or archers first.

It seems to me that there is this "cloud army camp" for them to store troops that are already trained.
Then if you didn't use any troops at all during the raid, the troops from the "cloud army camp" disappears.

I'm not sure how to explain it, hope you understood what I meant though lol.

A spam in a single spot and pray ? :)

it costs 70k in elixir, takes 23:55 minutes to train and has these stats:

i like it because it is fairly flexible and reasonably fast to train. i find that there are few bases that can't be attacked by this kind of formation (well developed th 9's are a good exception).

the healer combo is fun but i find it requires a very particular base to attack: one that has poorly placed air defenses that can be taken out easily, so i always ended up looking for that one base that has good resources AND a good fit for the strategy. i try to keep the number of variables in the decision to raid as low as possible.

I'm queuing up this army right now. Thank you for the well displayed information!

180 space:
90 Barbs
90 Archers

Barbs work as a meat shield, archers to pick up and/or destroy anything inside. Barbs can destroy walls while Archers destroy defenses (cannons, wiz towers and AT's because mortars will get Archers instead).
