Will farming change for those maxing Town Halls? Data analysis inside.
Loot Calculations Spreadsheet
The hardest part of maxing your town hall level is the walls.
Okay, with Elixir now being used for walls and not just troops, I've been asking myself what the best army is for farming up walls. Is it Barch, BAM, or Loons?
Im using 100/140 for Barch calculations, 80/100/30 for BAM, and 20/70 for Loons. I've attached the excel sheet and made the average loot per raid for Loons: 250k Barch: 200k, BAM 170k.
I noticed after my calculations that Balloons are very behind the other two farming strategies.
I even bumped Balloon loot up to 300k/300k and I still found them to be inferior.
BAM is the best loot per hour. You will get 1m loot/hour for walls.
Barch gets you 900k/hr.
Loons get you 765k/hr with 600k loot every raid.
Now disclaimers. Loons are more casual because you can only raid 1.5x per hour. You can do other things while clashing. Its also easier to hit DE with Balloons. They cost 2x as much as every other army though.
So I'm not saying I'll never loon again. Ill probably loon during the day while I have classes, but If I ever get to play constantly for a few hours, Barch/BAM are the better options. I plan to use Barch until my heroes finish then BAM for walls.
Another disclaimer. This doesnt take into account loot bonuses and search time. I'd say I definitely search no more than 2x as much for Barch targets compared to Loons. Also loons win more often. I wonder how that might change results.
What are you guys' thoughts?
