I just lost -23 trophies from BARCH'ing an inactive village. I was only able to get 43%. Instead of BARCH'ing, should I just use all archers?

barching is the strategy that relies the most on picking the right base to attack. All archers is similar, there are several videos on Youtube that explain pushing with barch in detail. Phamily Shucks' video is my personal favorite if you are interested.
edit: Barching also is very reliant on your heroes to pick off the 50%, you will often not get the 50% with your barchers only.
I can easily barch to win in Crystal leagues, have tried in Master and its doable but certainly not as easy.
I've been in clans before with players winning in Champion with just barch.
Picking the right bases with a lot of exposed buildings, avoiding x-bows, giant bombs & mortars critical.
I barched to champ with th outside. Base selection is key.(as well as not logging off, skipping work, doing nothing else but clash)
Probably the most cost/time effective army for pushing if you have the patience to get good with it. To me, losing a match with barch is far less painful than losing a match with Gowiwi or gowipe. Sure its losing trophies, but its only losing 60k elixir and 0 DE. The win bonus in Master3 and above pays for your army (minus spells) so anything else you make is money in the bank.
From my experience, barching above crystal 1 you just need to become much more surgical and precise. No more spamming troops where pumps are and praying to Mary for a miracle.
A lot of people use Barch, some have even got Top200 with it.
I gain about 200+ trophies today and that was my first lost with BARCH.
Barch is a nice way to farm at high crystal to low masters
oh 3000th post yay me
It's all about picking the right base in short, but yes, it is very possible. I've done it myself.
Yes barch is effective everywhere. I am right btw. No back talk
We didn't create it. We perfected it....FFF and yes...most of us farmed in Champ before it was cool...also, I FFF to 4070 with no overnight builds or revenges using gowiwi gowipe drags etc...strictly FFF....as most would call it barch....😈
I use all archers to effectively farm in champ. I find it a lot simpler than barch, that may just be me as it's how I have always played.
My TH10, sitting around 3350 with maxed defenses and using Tyrael's layout he recently showed on youtube, got b-arched yesterday, by Freeman in the clan "300!" They were sitting at 3998 when they hit me, and got 1 trophy for 50%. Used 4 lighting, CC, and heroes to mop up the last few % (heroes were pretty much unscathed).
So yes, definitely works in Champs, but requires a combo of good base selection, and/or spells + CC + heroes.
p.s. personally I've always preferred 2 golems + the rest archers (maybe 4 wiz), but I'm no expert, all I do know is that I've always found 80 barbs and 160 archers is hard for me to get 50% with, despite having seen loads of others do it well - same for if I try all archers.
I got barched in champs yesterday.
I was at 3106.
Barching is super effective in crystal and can fairly easily get you to master 3 but then it starts getting harder.
Im in crystal 1 barching right now
The simple answer... yes but u cant go for loot at all
Barching isn't effective at high leagues, use gowipe gowiwi gowhatever :rolleyes:
I have decide to use Balloons and Minions instead. I can't handle BARCH.
If your sig is correct, your in crystal, barching should be cake, picks up difficultly around 2900+ bases you see will always be in that range for the most part. Otherwise any lower is just farming, gotta learn the strategy.
Barch or mass arch is ok if you only want one star at a time....but for the love of god make a nice over night army of go-whatever or drags and go for two stars once in a while!!!!
All depends on what you want to achieve I guess. I've been barching for months now in Champ and managed to keep all 5 builders busy during this period. This includes my barb king, who was being training for two months in a row hehe. I also know a member of my clan who got to 3500 my barching. I bet he could have gone a lot higher but we only push for a week when pushing.
I do use a golem in my cc, for the necessary distraction. Also bring four balloons to take out mortars which are placed on the outside of the base. This is 1) so that I can attack more different types of bases and 2) I do not have to use lightning spells and therefor, I can attack more frequent.

As of right now, I have reached Master League by using Balloonion. :)
I can't do the FFF with my iPhone 3GS.
Barching is very effective for farming and pushing when done right. Takes a while to get good at so don't think that because you mess the first raids up its a bad strat
I know entire clans that are built around barching for the higher leagues-- including champ. However, please continue to use expensive armies with extremely long build times that require the use of all 5 spells AND royals. During your cook time, we barchers will farm AND get 50% off of you. I'm farming in master 2 right now without the use of spells, royals, or gems.
All I can say is, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
