All farmers: consider switching to BARCH

Its a ton of fun. I made it to all max TH8 (ahem, save lvl3 PEKKA, some DE troop upgrades, and walls, of which I have 69 skulls and the rest purple crystal) by farming with giant/healer. I've used gems but by far mostly for donations, because my clan is small and there isn't always someone on. So as soon as I get on I gem everybodies requested donation and fill em up.

I just tried barch today, and first, its A TON OF FUN, giant/healer gets soo tedious and all those compartments drive you nuts, barch is over in a minute and I STILL HAVEN'T LOST A BARCH RAID, despite the fact that I'm not good at it yet and playing on an android that can't handle 2 fingers and has a tiny screen. An IPAD would make this even easier.

Its super cheap. Unless you pick a really bad choice of base to raid you won't lose any elixir, its profitable every time so far. If there's a downside its just that getting to the DE in the middle is pretty tough against better bases. But I guess thats why CC has the lightning spell.

BARCH is a great strategy. It's really powerful if you use it right. (Rage spells, wb, etc) I don't get why people think BARCH is for collector raids and not storage raids (just saying, thanks to the 1 gem boost I've been finding full collectors everywhere)

Fellow BARCHer here. :cool:

They're really versatile as an army composition. You can use them to farm for mines and pumps or you can use them as a make-shift trophy pushing army under rage spells.

I personally like the former as I like raiding every couple of minutes or so and I'm too impatient to wait for spells.

Yep, BARCH is pretty versatile. I usually look for collector bases, but if I come across a high loot base, then I'll consider, using rage and heal to get my troops to the core. Unfortunately, I can only do this a couple of times each session I play. Also, I'm always maxed on elixer, because of using BARCH, so I can make a dragon army while I sleep, and have a killer raid in the morning, lol!

I technically use BAW (Barbs+Archer+WB), but I'm a BArcher deep down.

Gotta love how versatile it is, and how some of the weakest/cheapest troops in the game can get people so far (I'm talking about just one unit, not factoring in cost). I've been using it for months, and really the only armies I use are BArch and mass drags. :cool:

Okay wow, you literally took the words right out of my mouth. Didn't notice until now lol.

BAM is also a good farming strategy. Faster and stronger than barch.

I farm with All Pekkas...

What i love about barch is how easy it is to tweak, you just sub some barchers in with some other unit and see how well it works, BaArLoon has been working out quite well for me so far (So many neglected air defences) but BaGiArnts works well at lower TH levels to.

If you use two jump spells and two rage spells with maxed out barch, it is- And I'm not exaggerating, I just have always loved barch- It is just as good as my GoWiPe, and perhaps easier than mass dragons, at times, to get to the storages. The only strategies that I have ever been any good at are, in this order, Barch, GoWiPe, BAM, Mass Dragons, and Giant-Healer +Wizard. And I'm pretty bad at the last one...

Already had! No need to switch for me! If you don't use BARCH/BAM, you should really start, they are really good farming strategies! If you don't know how to BARCH/BAM look it up on YouTube™ or feel free to PM me

EDIT: BARCH can also be used for pushing! Which is a good thing, if you're pushing and you find a good collector raid, you can use BARCH to get the loot and the 50%
I don't really have much experience with BAM so if you want help, look it up on YouTube™ or ask someone else. I'm not sure if BAM can be used for pushing
