Another farming thread.... [TH9]

Heeey

So I've been barching since TH6 because its extremely efficient. I don't have time to work with a giant-wizard army or anything like that, nor the desire. Until now....

See, I barched my lv7 walls at TH7, barched my lv8 walls at TH8, and I just started my legos (barching) at TH9. Barch is starting to get reeeaaaalll old. And fast. So, I was wondering if someone could give some insight as to another trophy range I could farm in. I'm currently sticking to 1800, where I can usually find a decent amount of collector bases and find it easy to maintain trophies. With barch. I was wondering if theres a higher trophy range with good loot (hopefully in the collectors) Maybe C2 or 1? I know 3000 is good but I don't have to time to stay up that high, especially as a new TH9. As of now, I only have lv6 archers and loons will be lv6 in a week. So balloonion is an option, but I would like to try and stick to a giant-based army. I'm extremely well practiced in GoWiPe, I've been practicing that for months, so a giant army would be a more viable option. I want to go higher in trophies so that I feel I'm not wasting elixir training a big 'ol army when I could just barch these bases.

TL;DR: I'm tired of barch and want to know a good trophy range to farm collector bases with a giant-based army. Preferably around C2-C1

Other details: 220 army capacity, will probably use something like 12 Giants, 8 WBs, 75ish Archers, 70ish goblins. Will carry a lightning, 2 heal, one rage.

If you wanna check out my base/see my troop levels, I'm in Pandora Elite, IGN is sw4gdaddy (I'm the leader).

Cheers!

My advice: bring 8 giants with your barch, makes it a bit more interesting. Use giants as little as possible, if u see a collector raid try getting 50% and all the loot without the giants. with giants you can farm storages easier! i really like that army. If u dont wanna use barch at all, try loonion in masters for a while, 3 weeks of that got me crawling back to barch and loving it all over again.

Lol yeah, we have a trophy push starting on the 15th, I wanna balloonion to 3000. But I hate trophy pushing so I'm hoping that will make farming more fun for me when I drop. Thanks!

Loot

Prior to the Halloween update, i would've told you 2200-2300 for a th9. Recently, i've had my best luck around 1850-1950-but my focus is on regular loot, not dark elixir. for d.e there's great raids in c1 but lacks decent amount of regular loot.

After i got my hero's to 15 i decided that regular loot was the bigger focus, since i wanted to smack out rest of upgrades. For lego's-1850 to 1950. For heros/D.e Upgrades, c1 maybe c2.

As for the army-barch is boring as hell, i agree. if i get bored of barch i run with:

12 giants 8 wallbreakers 25 gobs 25 barbs 6-8 wiz rest archers, 2 heal 1 rage 1 jump - cc is whatever.

Thanks for the help so far guys!

Right now I have: 3 giants, 2WB in each barracks. Then after that I have half barracks barbs, half barracks archers (my usual balancing for barch). I think I will just stick to 1800s then, and ill stay a day or 2 in C2-C1 during our trophy push to farm a little.

Staying in c1/c2

Do it. won't hurt to pick up on a few hero levels! At the very worst you'll become a better attacker. i know farming in crystal sharpened up my skills! Best of luck on your push, and your th9 career.

I have been th9 for almost 5 months now, Barching in C2-C3 the whole time, GG has gone up by 550 million, no reason to go anywhere else. Or use a diferant army comp.

I was finding some very large loot raids, both collector and exposed storages, around c1 area.

I've been a TH9 for 2ish months. I do everything with Balloonion. I barched through TH7 and 8 and I'm over it. Time to max another TH level, and have fun doing it. It's just more fun to me. I like to farm High Crystal Low Masters for the Loot bonus to pay for minions...

I agree the previous comments

I totally agree most of the previous comments. When I entered th9 i used to stay at crystal and noticed that it was hard and slow evolving, but felt improving attacking skills a lot, then dropped to G1 and yes farmed a lot of Gold and elixir (less DE of course) but noticed "lazy" attacking skills. When in crystal used good armies, attacked good bases and went for core storages; when dropped to G1 started to use archers (which I didnt before). Also became gradually worse at clan wars, as if dropping for farming made me a worse player in general. Nowadays I auto-imposed me (as "penitence" xD) returning to crystal normal range and not dropping ever again until getting back my skills. So from my particular experience I would recommend you not to go under crystal, cause it made damage to my skills lol. About army, I agree previous advices. I think it's kind of personal, but 10/12 lvl6 giants, 8/10 lvl5 wb, about 60 lvl6 arch, about 40 lvl5 gob, about 8 lvl5 wiz & whatever U like, will do well. I like to carry some barbarians for help luring cc, and sometimes 20 minions for some particular farming situations or saving elixir or barrack time. Hope it helps.

Look I know all these dudes are saying crystal is so good an all, but it isn't necessary and I bet they still have noob accounts. I completely maxed TH9, all lava walls and everything rather quickly in the gold range. I did almost all my farming in the 1650-1800 range and one week even farmed 140 mil gg. Usually it was 100 mil gg a week. Imo crystal is a waste of time unless in C3.

Hi Fuark, I don't know which parameters could indicate that someone has a noob acount but I'm certainly not one of them, I think. I agree that is not necessary, currently I'm at MasterIII and it's getting hard for me to save resources and I'm sure if I would be in G1 I could be full of it, but, think it's just a matter of personal preference, if you decide to go up or down from time to time, for particular purposes. I try to go high and face th10 (i'm th9) cause I want to improve my attack, that's a personal choice, but sure I'm totally aware that makes me evolve so much slower... and as I explained, I tried this cause I noticed I was getting bad in clan wars, and thought that getting used to face superior players could help me get better.

Farmin With A Little Bit Minion.

Im using BARCH for farming too, but after update (archer tower double hit) i change little bit troop composition.. Minion 20, Archer and Barb 60%-40% (can add 4-6WB). Usual trophy for gold and elixir G1. For DE C1 is enuff for me. Using 6 barrack +1 barrack boost.. flawless.
