So I've thought a few times about using a couple of lighting spells to know the mortars out and may weaken some more defences.
But not sure if it worth the extra elixir just for a couple more trophies.
I wondered if any of you guys use spells?

It depends on the base your attacking and how many stars you are going for,
im th8, when im just going for the 50percent i dont use spells, but if im going for the trophies along with the 2star (3star if its like a bad th8 base or somethin with a ton of loot) ide usually use 2heals 1rage 6-8wbs 90arch and rest barbs with wiz in my cc, whether you should use spells or not all depends on who you are attacking, how many stars you are going for, and how you are planning on attacking.

hope this helps :)

I use barch all the time and spells or not you'll eventually will have to go for storages because collectors arent always there... I usually bring 4 rage no matter what really, (bam and loons too) and I find its better use than heal because rather than heal, get your troops through those walls and splash faster. This is all my opinion,and all lighting works with barch pushing for splash better.

There're some basic rules (and tactics) in barching you shouldn't leave if you want to succeed and get ATLEAST 50%.


- Never send any of the troops in a pile, mortars are loco for piles and they'll be like "JACKPOT" and boom they're gone.

- Pure Barching doesn't include anything like spells, WB's or different supportive troops(depends on TH levels, in higher
levels you'll need spells though.)

And a nice strategies for barching:

* Send your first wave of Barbs in a circle around the base, again, AVOID groups!
* Now for your second wave, Send in your archers arounnnnd the base like you did for barbs, it'll support the barbs in breaking the buildings and they probably might be away from the defenses too!

Oh, and attack abandoned/inactive bases only, since they have all their loot in their collectors, so you won't need to go INSIDE of the base to take all their gold :p
