He actually cursed one of our co leaders when that co lead agreed with the elder who explained.
He must be a kid.

Town hall sniping for trophies, and picking of outside buildings and pumps
It's kinda useful vs bases that don't protect the outside buildings with splash damage, like badly designed bases, or a few in champs (but not many, in my experience). And for sniping TH. But most will agree that, from TH7-TH10, at pretty much all trophy counts, using at least one third of your army on barbs is much better - the exact best % depends on what types of bases you are hitting most often most farmers use over 50% barbs, whereas trophy pushers often use 33% barbs.
p.s. all archers is actually quite expensive, especially if you are using lightning spells. I tried it a bit in masters, and lost trophies as well as elixir... now I sometimes use 2 golems and the rest archers, with some lightning spells, and find that makes plenty of elixer and also wins a lot more.
Good for pushing on TH 8s and below and farming (only collector raids) on any base. For storage raids BARCHis better.
