Is this army choice good for farming? If so, how would one go about using it effectively? I'm rocking with Level 4 Archers for the time being.

Bad idea. Use either barbs or giants to shield them.
They can be one shotted by mortars
Would Giants or Barbs work better??Quote:

My build us 6 wall breakers, the rest archers & goblins. I've tried many others, but seems to produce the best result, although throwing in some barbs to replace some archers can reduce build times & costs.
All my troops are maxed, so adjust accordingly.
DONT DONT DO IT
all archers are rubbish for farming they guarantee 50% but are pretty much non profit
That depends quite a bit on your play style. My general observation/opinion is that the higher TH level you are, the more you should go with giants. TH 7-barbs. TH 8-take your pick. TH 9-giants.Quote:

Bad idea! :( Mortars and wizard towers will wreck those poor little archers.
I use archers only with lvl 5 archers. But they don't work on bases that have good splash damage units.
Archers need a meat shield. I keep 110 archers, 50 barbarians, 10 wall breakers, and 10 minions in my camps. Usually I don't use all the wall breakers and I only use the minions for areas with no air defences.
Archers are good with air units in my opinion. I have been rading effectively for quite some time with a couple of dragons and the rest all archers taking out defenses and buildings on the outside. If I want to speed up the raiding I throw in some balloons too :)
But archers need to be strong of course.
Archers are my least favourite of the 'weaker' troops. Even after update they still insist on targeting random walls while being pelted by defences ... even when there's a clear opening for them to pass through just beside them!
I do use them, but mostly for the outer buildings to speed attacks up. If I was to choose just one troop type for spam raids, then I'd choose barbs. From level 4 up they are great, cheap and cheerful, will hit anything, they'll raid almost as fast as gobs but suck up more hits and do defences too. A mix of them and goblins is best I'd say, for quick farming, so long as trophies mean nothing to you.
I'm more a Giant/wb/barb/goblin raider. If I'm looking for trophies I'll go Giant/wb/healer/barb/arch/gob .... and the odd dragon. I very rarely ever use Balloons or wizards. I find them useless mostly.
