This would be true only if someone places all their collectors on one side of the base. Normally, barch can destroy the buildings outside the walls and most of them behind just one layer all around the base. Included in this list are most often all the collectors which contain a nice chunk of loot in the typical barch raid and will net 50%+ detruction in most cases. Barch was never meant to be an attack to penetrate into the core of a base, so I'm not sure why you would want to send waves of troops at one focused area. The idea is to overwhelm splash defenses by attacking in more places than they can protect at the same time.

Dont criticize until you try it... Thats the perfect spot for th8
I made most of my 350mil gold grab there...

BARCH is good for quick smash and grabs for loot.. you might get more per raid with a big army but BARCH BAM get you more if you sit down and play for a couple hours

Not really when 50% of what you find is TH6 or farming, loot-free TH7.

I've barched for months. I know how it works.

I maxed my th8 base (including a full set of skulls) doing giant/wb/archer/barb storage raids in silver one. The loot was spectacular farming the TH7s who were there farming the TH6s. I almost cried once I upgraded to TH9 and had to stop doing it.

My question is who do they work on? i realize they are cheap but what is the appeal?

FTR...im a 3/4 maxed TH 8....i live in the 1200-1400

barching is best to either used for farming loaded collectors or getting 50% for trophies mainly, although I have pulled off two stars against solid town hall nines with it (including spells and heroes)

And you rightfully should ♥♥♥♥. Lvl 6 troops, an extra spell slot, and the AQ make quite a difference….as well as 20 more capacity. (Moreso just the AQ assuming your heroes are decently lvl'ed.)

Pretty difficult for a TH8 to BARCH their way to 70% bases with lvl 5 troops. Borderline not doable unless you're going up against premies/rushed TH's.

I find it works well for me, the targeted force to the center. I BARCH in waves, (with a few WB's) and it lets me reach the TH, plus the outer ring of buildings, so I get a 2 star from it as well as the resources. I hate losing trophies when farm raiding. So I like to go for bases I can at least 1-2 star. Barch lets me do that on many basic base types. Not all... and not on advanced TH7 or TH8+ But for the "young" TH7, and lower it can be mighty effective.

I use barch and still win raids because I go for the th then I go for loot I don't farm its a waste of time to farm

Yes, because trophies are FAR more important than having an upgraded base. Farming takes less time if you know what you're doing.

Also, you can win on almost any barch attack with skill. Going for the TH is not necessary.

Cheap and fast.
