B.A.M (2014-2015) - Most Efficient Farming Strategy (WITH VIDEOS)

http://i.imgur.com/65FgNbn.jpg

In this thread i will show and explain why, how and where i use B.A.M (Barbarians, archers, minions) strategy!

This is for farming and NOT for pushing!!!!!!!

1. Why i choose to farm with B.A.M Strategy?

I've been playing this game for far too long and i have experimented farming with many different strategies! when i joined DarkFarm i practiced Barch (barbarian/archers) strategy, when i joined Sky family i practiced loonion strategy (balloons/minions) The dissadvantage of Barch is that it takes longer than B.A.M to get ready BUT the advantage is that it does not require ANY dark elixir usage! The dissadvantage with loonions is that although people farm with that strategy in Masters League + (meaning great loot bonus) it requires lot of time to get ready AND spells! (meaning gems for spell factory boost) B.A.M is pretty straight forward and extremely fast to get ready! in the previous season i successfully won 350+ attacks WITHOUT boosting (i am also not counting the attacks i made which i did not win)

2. How i use B.A.M strategy?

Two of my normal troop (elixir troop) barracks are cooking non-stop barbarians and the other two archers! the two dark elixir barracks cook non-stop minions (do not worry you WILL make profit in dark elixir trust me)
The average army that this strategy will give you is the following (below are the troops used in my last 5 attacks)
In the clan castle i request for "anything" since i do not really need any specific troops for that strategy

1. 92 barbarians / 74 archers / 37 minions
2. 61 barbarians / 45 archers / 67 minions
3. 88 barbarians / 78 archers / 40 minions
4. 98 barbarians / 78 archers / 38 minions
5. 88 barbarians / 77 archers / 45 minions

The playlist below shows you how i put that in practise (it is in 2013 but the same process applies now)

3. Where i use B.A.M strategy? (BOTH VIDEOS ARE UPTODATE!!!)

I found that Crystal two has the most innactive bases and townhall snipes (TH snipes in C2 means 50K elix/gold and 200 DE)

I have recorded two videos of my most recent attack logs showing you what i mean :)

My attack log and a crazy find in Crystal Two, using B.A.M startegy!

Concerning Dark Elixir!

I guarantee you that you can make profit in DE, although NOT in a very rapid phase! I make approximately 100K DE in a season! and approximately 1,5 mil Gold/Elix per hour! i normally have my Gold and Elixir storage full two-three times per season! If you want to farm DE then i suggest you move up to Masters league and try farming with either stronger army (eg: adding some Giants or Loonions etc.) or try farming with spells :)

Thank you guys!!!! and to those that say loot sucks i hope this changes their mind ;)

I liked using BAM in crystal 3 and low crystal 2 but it is harder to use it in higher leagues since I can't get the 1 star. But overall this is a great guide.

yes you are absolutely right, especially if you are upgrading your heroes, it is quite hard to get the 50% sometimes, but i am willing to let go of the bonus loot in return of getting 150K gold/elix as an average every 10 minutes :)

I m not a big fan of BAM. I haven't used it much, but for me if u using 4 to spells per raid, its not farming.

it depends... when i used to farm with loonions above 3000+ it was farming... instead of 24 loons and 60 minions i was attacking with 20 loons and 70 minions and was going after storages but this required spells... i still got profit since the loot bonus was very helpful !

What army are u using to farm?

Nice videos ath :cool: I will be sure to check out C2 soon. I am in Masters right now farming off of the loot bonus and getting some DE while I'm at it. I'll definitely be going to C2 for those juicy collector bases ;)

hehe thanks man!!!! yea masters is ideal for DE

I fully agree with your points and I like the awesome videos too but I have few questions:-

1. Is BAM the most efficient farming strategy for all the TH8's, 9's and 10's?
2. Does the level of troops effect the efficiency of this farming strategy? Since you have lvl 7 barch & lvl 6 minions this is working for you well in C2 but will this work for others with lvl 5 barch & low lvl minions too?

Minimum level of troops for this to be efficient and it what trophy range?

very nice question and thank you for that! a TH8 who wants to farm at C2 will definitely be affected BUT only for the %... you can still get the majority of loot but maybe you will not get enough % to win and get the loot bonus! a TH8 would be more suitable to farm in Gold1 since ive heard there are innactive bases in that area as well but the majority of those bases are th7,8,9 so a th8 could get an advantage over a th10 in Gold1 but a th10 has an advantage in C2 since most bases are th9,10 and this requires larger troop capacity and higher lvl in order to get that 50% :)

it depends what th lvl u are! id say it has pretty much the same effect if ur th9,10! u can still farm in the exact way th10s farm using BAM strategy:) thnx

Nice guide ath

thnx a lot!!! once i find the time ill enhance it with more detailed information:)

i will try and push with B.A.M and see how it goes and if people can still farm with this strategy ONLY by taking the 50% in champions league without the use of spells! it will be tough and most likely unsuccessful but i will try it and let you guys know if it's duable to farm in champions league with B.A.M by NOT using gems for spell factory boost :)

Great thread. I appreciate the effort you put into it, will definitely have to give this a go.

I'm still a TH7 farming in Silver 1, meaning very little DE profit and little desire to spend what I have on minions. I'm currently just using barbarians and archers, but I look forward to using this strategy in the future. Thanks!

One of my favorite farming strategies!

Yeah! I use BAM. I even more love it with the holiday boost! I farmed 15m - 20m per day.

Wow nice! Personally I use barch, as in gold you can't sustain dark when using BAM, but I used BAM when I had an excess of DE

i personally think u can sustain and profit de.... think of the league bonus as well in Crystal 2 :)

Wish my minions were that level...:( Currently they are level 3. I'm only TH8 but have been using Bam successfully in C3. Just need to be careful when picking bases to attack in terms of the AD and AT positions. I like to use the barbs, archers and BK (lvl10) before the minions. As soon as I hit 50% I usually stop dropping troops. That way I can maximise any DE profit by only using the minions when necessary. Seems to be working nicely for now, but Clash can change quickly!

Nice guide, and video's. Thx.

I use Barch with a friends account and he is TH8! i found Gold 1,2 is the most profitable area in terms of inactive bases!!! I dont waste any Dark Elixir when farming with TH8 since it is not that easy to farm it !

I've been using bam strategy for a while im lv92 th10 in crystal 3 but I rarely get above 150k gold/elixir on attack after searching around 40-80 bases seen yr war log n want to grab some of that loot which league would be best for me to be in for that ????? Amazing loot by the way

Crystal 2!!!!! i can assure you that in this season i found 7 innactives in a day (i have only attacked for 3 days since we are having a donating competition in my clan)

Nice strategy, I like to use a similar strategy, B.M.G.W barbarians, minions, Giants, wall breakers. I Usaully train around 60 barbs, 40 minions, 10 giants, and 5 walbreakers. You should try it, it is a little expensive but is defeinitaly effective, I hope you get to reading my response. :)

well if im going to invest in the time waiting for giants and wallbreakers i would just farm with loonions ! in crystal 2 with all that easy loot, time is your enemy! you need to make raids as fast as possible since even by using B.A,M you have most chances on getting the enemy's loot! in other words there is no need to raid with heavy troops such as giants in crystal 2 if you are a townhall10!

Hey ath,

Thanks for the awesome BAM guide! After the recent matchmaking system, is it still common for a th8 to find many dead bases in higher leagues like C2,3? I'm currently sitting in G3, easily finding 200K each every few nexts.

now after the update, the league does not really depend since in any trophy range you are, you will only be able to get matched up against players that have he same townhall as you!!

I love the B.A.M strategy :)
