big loot, fine. But profit margin....

sup everyone, I am not a super high level on CoC but I consider myself pretty strategic. So profit margin is more important to me when farming than just getting a big raid, because if you spend 150k elixer and get 200k whats the big deal? thats nothing and what's really the point.

For example this second attack. The troop comp cost 38,360 Elixer and Total Loot was 572,450 which is a total profit of 534,090 all together. I see a lot of people using huge compositions of wizards/giants/dragons all the expensive troops which brings down the profit you get by a lot.

The goblins, I feel, are super under used for what they can do. They obviously go specifically for loot and do 2x damage so even before a mortar can hit them, they're on to the next one (most of the time). And they're so inexpensive.

I know these raids aren't over the top awesome or an unbelievable amount of loot, but they definitely made me a lot of money and when I'm strictly farming I love using compositions like this. I used to like to stay in silver II for raiding, but I've since moved up to gold III and am about 50 trophies away from gold II.

I look forwards to the comments. Cant waaaaaaait :P

First of all goblins do jack ♥♥♥♥ up at my lvl, they are aright for farming, but the main farming army used is barch (which is 110 barbs and 90 archers), goblins are alright up here, but not the best, wizard towers destroy goblins

Really? in pushing you wouldn't use goblins? hmm I figured you'd want to go gob heavy.... No ♥♥♥♥ obviously they're no good once you get to higher leagues but as you can see I said silver 2, along with giants. Giants to obviously tank and then just ♥♥♥♥ collectors with goblins.

I would never ever use gobs in war or when I'm trying to get some trophys. But when you're trying to get some loot, i think they're one of the best if you know how to use them.

When I was around your level I too found goblins extremely useful, so much so that I used them in every raid I did. Now that I'm higher townhall I've switched over to the BAM strategy. I find it more useful than goblins, but still agree with the points you have made.

I'm still working on a new strategy, Cant figure out one that I like for raiding that garuntees me a star. So I've been staying away from farming. Just hit Gold II and I don't know what to use.

Yup I use them for loot all the time. Clear those collectors in seconds! Also they have more health than archers.

A good strategy is definitely BARCH (barbarians and archers). If you have level 5 archers, do all archer raids. How to use: spread barbarians around base for meat shields for the archers that you place right behind the barbarians. This is always a garunteed one star if you go against the right base. The right base is a base where about 50% of buildings are on the outside. Trust me, there is a lot of those. I use these same strategies and i cannot remember the last time I lost.

I know about batching I just don't know how I feel about it
