Giant Farm Strat?

I'm town hall 9 and lately with the up and down of collector raids I was wondering what this farming strat I have been seeing with Giants, barbs, arch, wb's and occasionally gobs is and how to use it? Can't find any info on it.
I believe you can hit collector and storage raids with it and get some dark elixir
Thanks :)

Yes, it's one of the most versatile strategies for farming.

Typically, I will bring around 16 Giants (remember spring traps), and a healthy mix of Barbs and Archers depending on your playstyle with 8 Wall Breakers. For spells, I like to bring two heal and one rage, or two heal and two rage if you upgrade your factory (heal is more important for extending the life of the Giants).

The strategy allows for normal collector raiding, which I will not explain, as well as storage raiding which is basically a blitz where you send in your pack of Giants in the most approrpiate spot depending on the storages you most want, watch their health closely, followed by Barbarians as a secondary meatshield and Archers behind to do the damage. I like to use my Barb King for a tank as well if I think the base needs the extra push of the heroes, and obviously follow up with the Queen if necessary. Place spells accordingly. It's a good idea to lure the Clan Castle troops if you can, unless it won't effect your raid.

Sounds good and thanks for the reply. What count would you do this at? and how much loot do you look for?

I use a similar strategy or BAM. Elixir costs are up around 50-60,000 before you use any spells. So looking for bases below 100k elixir is prob bad. All depends what you are raiding for.

8 giants 8 wb 92 archers and 72 barbs.
Works well for both collector and storage raids with a reasonably low training time.
