How to farm on TH7?

Hey, I'm looking for the best and most efficient way to farm on TH 7. My troops are maxed, and I currently am using barch, which I'm not really successful with (a guide or so would be helpful though).

Also I'd like to find a better way to farm DE, since dropping 3 lightnings on the Storage always gives me only like half the DE I could get.

Cheers

What I do, (200 troop space) is 180 archers, 20 barbarians. I love this because it so cheap and effective! I always try to attack bases with 350k+ resources available (preferably in collectors). I do this in Gold 3, but I know silver 1 would work, probably gold 2 and it might even be effective in gold 1. I kinda doubt it is in crystal and up.

As for using the strategy, remember that the barbarians can take more damage than the archers, and splash defenses will destroy both. Definitely try to stay away from those and don't compromise for less than 200k.

Another trick you could use is filling up 3 barracks with archers and 1 with barbs to keep things moving along.

Hope I helped a little bit! Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently using 100 barbs 100 arch, works well... more or less. I normally don't wanna use this many troops for farming. Before I did 40 arch, 6 giants, 8 wbs, and rest goblins. Worked too... But well, more expensive and took longer to retrain. I'm definitely gonna check out 20 barbs 180 archers. I guess this is for just farming the surrounding collectors?

I've used only barching all the way through TH 7 & sometimes added a few Goblins as well.

As for barching, I used/use 90 Barbs, 90 Archers, 10 wbs & I go for storage raids mostly against TH 6s,7s & Mid TH 8s. If you take along a few wbs, it becomes way easier to break through a few layers of wall for the storages. I've been farming at Silver 1 & the loot is good enough. TH 6s give about 300k loot which is always an easy 3 star victory. As for TH 7s & 8s, you'll need to use spells to keep them going, Heal & lightning spells.

I used Goblins in my attack as well but they aren't good enough since they have such low hp. So I only used them for collector raids & sometimes storage raids.

Check out the guide in my signature. The "How to get the barb king" video will help you learn Barching in a better way if you're looking to learn from Videos.

Good Luck!

From experience I went with Barch for farming (1:3), which means 1 Barracks for Barbs and 3 for Archers. I found this to be the best composition for me, as I would usually get around 50-56 Barbs, 140-144 Archers give or take 10 depending how much Archers I'm donating.

And 3 Lightning Spells for zapping.

Barch is the cheapest and most effective farming method for both Gold/Lix and Dark Lix farming in my opinion, You just need to be lucky in your targets and try to snipe Dark Lix Drills especially if there is a Town hall outside. Queuing the single troops in each barracks meant if i spent a while searching for a good target I could be anywhere from 20-100 troops ready to go by the time the attack is done.

If your purely going for DE, then Giants/WB/Wiz/Barch may be better, but then you'll be spending a lot more time on training troops and will have to use spells like rage/heal often to get deep enough into the DE stores.

i take either 5-6 giants, 60/60 barch or 50/70, 4 wb, heal rage in case storages, 90/110 barch no spells going for 100k collectors, or bag 1/2/1 barb arch gobs. gobs good since they do 2x damage to resources.
Splash damage is the enemy of barch, try to not get too bunched up and you will do better.

I made a TH7 barch guide, so you can take a look at it here...

I que up 2 barracks of archers and 2 of barbs (shoot for 80/120-95/105 depending on donations sometimes I'll drop barbs in donations)
Then I target bases with 100k+ (75 if desperate) of each in mines and collectors (I hardy ever break into main base) and shoot for 50%

It worked well for me at th7 (only spent 3 weeks there and maxed out everything except for king and hogs (I only did minions because I has 10k DE with a lvl storage...poor timing) I spent my time in gold 2-3

It's working well for me right now at th8 though I'm in gold 1 and I'm thinking of dropping down to 2 or 3
Again.

I know alot of people say to just BARCH, I do something very similar but I feel that Giants work well as distractions and good at taking damage from wizard towers and stuff, also WBs I feel like I need aswell.

This is what I use for farming.....All Troops Level 4

195 Troop Capacity

7-8 Giants
8-10 WBs
40-45 Barbs
20 Goblins
75-90 Archers

Que up 3 Lightning Spells just to take down Dark Elixir Storages, whenever I see over 1,000 up for grabs and aslong as its not max lvl (alot of HP) I just drop my 3 Lightning Spells on it.

I usually drop my giants along w WBs to take out the closest Wizard tower, than Barbs and archers all along the sides, goblins when walls to the storages are down and ready to be hit.

Im only at Silver II right now, around 1100 Trophies, trying to push up to around 1300 so I can find Dark Elixir easier though.
