I use the rage spell the most.
When slumming it in gold league using BAM, hunting for gold/elixir - Zaps to take down mortars - quick n cheap to cook (with occasional rage for the minis, when a suitable juicy loot comes up)
When miniballing in chrystal out looking for DE, rage .......
Rage and heal. Only use zaps if i'm trying to win for loot bonus higher up in trophies
None. Farming and spells contradict each other. It's like swimming with heavy lead weights tied to your ankles. Eating chocolate cake with a diet Coke. Hot dog and ketchup. Sonny and Cher...wait, I'm dating myself...
I dont have a spell factory, but if it had, i would use heal.
Lightning... Just in case I missed a couple collectors in a nice collector raid (rare as they are).
But recently I've switched to rage and heal spells just for fun.
Zap, I like getting 50%.
I only use heal because of the low cooking time.
None...farming... Unless I need a rage to core a base
I carry all lightning. I can usually 2 star with BARCH in the gold league. (Sometimes 3). I carry lighyning in case I come across a juicy DE base
I carry 3 lightning spells as well.
I dont use any spell , i only use barch and a bk thats all , and i can get 200k of each , btw im th8 thats why.....
Heal spell, but vary rarely.
Heal for barch, especially when they near death, the wizard tower and mortar.
Try to use none, but if I really want to get a storage I'll use rage and heal. 9/10 times though I use none.
When I actually Clashed (I quit in favor of Boom Beach), I always carried 3 lightnings just in case (I barched, so I usually got 1-2 stars).
I will try not to use any but mostly I would heal my troops when it's worth or collector raid
none - should've been one of the options
I carry 3 lightning and a misc 4th (usually heal or jump), though I try not to use any while farming. Only when the loot on a target base will yield a profit will I use the spells (better to have and not need than need and not have).
Ill have too agree with...babblefishQuote:

In masters lightening, rage jump, rage for gowiwi
I try to use no spells but I'll use heals if I need to break into a base
agree, but if i happen to have heal/rage.....and its needed....well then. But of course try to farm without spellsQuote:

This is true. I'll do the same if the loot is worth it, like 250k+ on the elixer. Recently hit a TH8 with 470k elixer, so it was worth using a rage and a heal.Quote:

Farming storages on high level TH8 & TH9, I sometimes use a heal spell and possibly a lightning spell (if the defender is stupid enough to have all archers in his/her clan castle).
I use heal, as I use barch a lot. Healing spells makes barbarians almost invincible :)
Heal spells
Lightning.. I like 50%
Totally disagree with you hereQuote:

A good farmer uses spells in the right spot. So increasing their profit margin. What do I know, I do not raid a lot and village is in sad state of affairs.
Now wasting 2 spells to gain 10 k extra loot bad. Using 2 spells to get extra 100 k good.
If Barching tend to use rage and lightning.
Heal or rage spell to core the inside.
In the last few days I've been taking one of each with me into attacks (obviously not all of them in every attack). I probably use the rage spell more than the others, and either the jump spell (for the BK) or heal spell would come second. :)
While farming I barch or bam. Heal spells can't heal barbs and archers that can be one shot by a mortar. There must be something to heal.
One lightning for those times Im at 49%
Two heal for the rare raids that are worth it.
I use heal spells while farming with barch! One or 2 heals can easily break the core of most th9's, I reccomend it for those that haven't tried it!
Need that DE!
I rarely use spells when farming, but when I do, I use the one that has the best ROI.
I avoid spells too.
If I do use, it'll be a heal or two. Im a loonioneer so if the loot us good enough and the base is just that hard, say they have xbow set to air, then ill use a heal or two.
Otherwise, no spells.
I take 4 rage and a freeze as part of my farming setup and will often use all 5 (i do boost my spell factory to speed up the build time). If i can get away with using fewer that is good but as i am farming for dark elixir at the moment you often need to penetrate deep into the base to get the anounts of dark elixir i am looking for
Looks like a none option would be more popular than jump and freeze spells..Quote:

OP I usually bring 1 light for incase it ever engages in an area with splash damage. But my mosted used spell is probably the occasional rage to hit a core or fix a bad raid.
#ZapIsBoss
Yeah I use 2 heal and 2 rage at the moment but only use them when a base offers 300K+ loot.Quote:

Heal to get to the core, some time I use rage also
Im about to unlock jump. I'm surprised at how little people are using jumps. Jumps, goblins and giants sound like a killer farming strategy.
Apparently, judging by the comments made by others who agree with me, I'm not the only one who feels using spells when farming is a complete waste of elixer and defeats the whole purpose of using a cheap army, so how about you keep your nonsense to yourself if you please.Quote:

Rage and heal:cool:
I just drop 1 heal on my group of giants, depending on how well the raid is going I sometimes don't even need to. I limit it to one spell to keep army costs relatively low.
If I'm only barching I'll take lightning in case I need to get over 50%
Where's the 'none' option?
Lightning spells. Helps me get that loot bonus and prevent 49% losses. I always carry 2 lightning spells in case I need to take out a mortar.
Well babble fish in most ways I agree to you except the very rare cases where I use a heal on storages.Quote:

As I'm farming DE at TH8, I always have 2 lightnings ready to zap some full DE storages. I also always keep 1 Heal at bay, should I find myself in a tough situation.
rage and heal mostly but I always try to have one light
I tAke lightning spells to zap only for TH trappers. I never use spells when just farming though. Kinda defeatsbthe purpose of farming.
when I take my cheap fast BAM,Barch,BAG armies (and any of the Giant variants of those compos..)
TH8. 1 Rage 2 Heal, most typically. (or 1 Thor, 1 Rage, 1 Heal)
TH9. 2 Rage 2 Heal, (or 1 Thor 1 Rage 2 Heal)
TH10. 2 Rage 2 Heal 1 Thor.
I'm in that camp with the others who rarely use spells when farming. (don't need a spell to farm some collectors) However, if a spell will net me a more positive gain on better protected storage runs, I will opt for Heal first; as its cheaper to make and faster to build than Rage.. which in the end is more 'farm friendly'. But, if I know the turrets will one shot my troops then Ill rage on those storages for greater success potential.
obviously it will reduce your net gain if you spam a spell every raid (if you boost SF you can typically do this) but if you do more than collector farm, then surely you must be using some spells.. if the cost of the spell can be recouped in the raid gain, then why the heck not? not every drop of loot is in the collectors; well at least not for how I raid.
I use lightning to hit de storages (and I'm hated for it:cool:)
completely agree with u +1Quote:

I make sure I don't create any spells so I don't get tempted. If you use even one Lv4/5 spell you have lost at least 20-25% of your profit...That normally means you need to take down all storage to make any decent moolah and if your farming decent bases that's unlikely with barching.
It's very easy to see that 2nd star within reach with an easy rage drop and next thing you know you have 5 trophies and a loss of 30K pink.
hahhaha its funny how alot of the guys use lightning :) DE Farming? haahah joke.
i always have 2 heal spell and 2 rage spell. normally i only use a rage spell when attacking but the occasional "storages in the core" i have to use heal spell.
Keep wizards in cc and when necessary (need that extra percent/storage) drop cc in a healing spell. Wizards can take out several buildings before dying. Better than lightning for the purpose of getting some extra percent imo.
That's how I roll. :cool:
EDIT: I'm at th9 now. At th7/early th8 i used lightning to get that extra percent. Oh, and i BARCH/BAM
I'm at TH7 and I use 3 lightning spell. I use lightning on those pesky mortars. Sometimes I do DE zap when DE is high.
I use barch for farming.
I bet you are...Quote:

YES !!!!!!
When I'm farming I keep my army cheap and don't use spells. I use lightning only to grab DE from a full storage at the middle of a base. I'm a relatively new TH7 and trying to build up DE to get the Barb King.
Zaps once in awhile while farming but heavy on the rage during wars.:cool:
