Detailed Guide - How To Mass Barb TH10s for 2*s - NO HEROS - Huge loot opportunity

So I have had some flames posted on my mass barb raids since I have level 40 heroes, so I wanted to share this video and a written tutorial on how you can consistently farm and push in Master or Champ with my mass barb troop comp.

THE COMP:

160 barbarians
36 archers
4 wallbreakers
4 wizards
4 hogs
3 heal spell
1 rage spell
1 jump spell

Costing just over 200k with all 5 spells, the league bonus makes it very easy to make for an extremely profitable raid. I queue up a wiz, a wb, 9 archers, and 40 barbs in each barracks and two hogs in each dark barracks. Very fast to build!

THE METHOD:

1 - Scout first
You want to scout the base and look for a path to the core that has minimal chance of running into a giant bomb. Look for a place where you can enter into a compartment and then jump two walls into the core. Very few bases, especially high level bases, will not give you an option here. You need to scout where you will be entering the base and where you will be jumping to. Ideally, you want to enter at a wizard tower.

2 - Lure and kill
This is the only reason for the hogs and wizards. Use the 4 hogs to lure, and with any luck remove one wizard tower or mortar. It can't hurt to drop a few barbs before the hogs to take some shots and make sure you get the whole lure. Use single barbs or archers to pull the cc troops to where you will be attacking, bunch them together with back and forth barbs, then send in a few barbs and a few wizards.

3 - Clear the entryway
This is critical for success, so make sure you clear enough. Ideally, you want to clear 3 or 4 buildings on each side of the entrance so that there is no doubt troops will go inside. While clearing distracts defenses, use your wbs to blow a hole in the base. Don't be afraid to use some barbs clearing... as long as you have 100 left for the attack you will be fine. I like to save about 16 archers, some barbs and 10 archers to clear each side.

4 - Deploy the horde
This is where the hard work of the first 3 steps pays off. Now that you have a clear path, do a 3 finger drop of about 15 barbs. If using heroes, deploy them as well. Immediately drop your first heal so it covers troops entering the wizard tower's range. Then go right back to barbarians and three finger drop the rest of the pack. If you didn't need any to clear, feel free to save some. Just make sure at least 100 go in. You can also toss in any remaining wizards if you have them.

5 - Manage the raid
The first pocket should be cleared by the time you have deployed everything, so now is raid management time. Use your jump to get your horde out of the initial pocket and into the core. You have 1 heal that can be wasted if need be and they are getting hit by mortars clearing the pocket that leads to the core. Once in the core, drop your final heal and rage to cover as much of the core as possible. You will be amazed at how fast the pack of barbs melts absolutely everything in the core. Under a rage, no building lasts more than a second.

6 - Cleanup
Your remaining troops can be used to clear outside buildings to get you the 50%. You can also use your clan castle for this. Just be smart about it, and you should be able to get the 2* with ease.

CLOSING:

In closing, I want to share this video I did of the strategy where I sidelined my heroes. My YouTube channel, "CoC Barch Pro" has lots of other examples, but this one is a great example because it shows the barbs are the real damage dealers, not my maxed royals. Please feel free to like, share, and subscribe. I will be posting weekly videos of similar cheap yet solid raids. This was a viewer request, so please feel free to let me know what you want and I will do my best to accommodate.

Seems to defeat the purpose of using barbs if you have to use 5 spells. No?

just one word...impressive...

Wouldn't the train time of the spells become the constrain for raiding and looting?

Wasn't the point of using barbs was for it to be a cheap and effective raiding strategy with a short training time?

Would love to understand the purpose of this guide. haha.

Come on guys, stop hating. It does not defeat the purpose to use barbs because its still cheaper than using gowiXX any day.

Glad to see someone does it to TH tens. I've done it a couple times on TH 8&9s. I carry the same spells while using barch at all times and I've found it to work amazingly. I just carry one less heal spell because I'm TH 9. Good job mate.

It is very cost effective, and can be used to push even in champ. Unless you are completely max, walls and all, there is a benefit to being effective yet frugal.

By using 3 heals, that also saves 45 minutes of spell time vs the classic spells for gowi or air raids. Unlike a traditional barch, you can get 2* wins regularly and steal those deep storage. The use of dark is minimal, and the troops train super fast.

Also, while nexting, you don't feel bad taking those full collectors and not using spells. Where with a gowi or air raid, it just doesn't feel as good to spend so much.

When pushing, it is really big to be able to get the 2* instead of just the 1*. Lots of people can barch for 50* with lightning, but this strategy gets double the cups and access to storages that standard barch isn't able to.

It's not hating..the title says huge loot opportunity, which leads readers to believe that the strategy is meant to be for farming. If so, then spells are not required.

If the point was to secure 2 stars against TH10s with loot as an afterthought, then there are definitely more secure attack strats for doing so.

Nonetheless, it's definitely fun watching mass barbs take down TH10s ;)

imo it doesn't work if you run into giant bomb (the healing wont help).
The layout in the vid is VERY suitable to your strat, but do you have some more vids? With different layout?

+ BTW no CC troops in this vid!

P.S. How often do you find bases like this? (with no gaps for giant bombs)

I'm guessing you didn't read the guide.

Absolutely... if you go to the YouTube site, it should have my channel "CoC Barch Pro" listed. You will see lots of other attacks with similar results.

Giant bombs are definitely the raid killer here, which is why scouting is so important. You have to find a path that doesn't have them. Sometimes I enter into the strangest compartments that most would just ignore, with the intent of jumping out of it into the core.

The big thing is that it nullifies the impact of infernos. With infernos only being able to target 5 at once, they just aren't a real threat. It takes an inferno 3 seconds to kill a barb on its own, and in 3 seconds the core is leveled.

A trick when using king (again, this was very intentional to show it is viable without heros), it is another tool you have. He will walk slightly ahead when you hit his ability, so if I can't dodge a bomb I try to let him plow through it while most are on other buildings to minimize losses.

Of you are willing to build on it and just look at this as a proof of concept type of thing, witches can be a great addition as well... skeletons target the same way as barbs, but move faster. This lets the skeletons trigger the giant bombs so you lose a lot less barbarians.
