it's faster to train BAM
Fast train for sure. :cool:Quote:

80 barbs and 100 archers is pretty much just as effective as 100 barbs and 120 archers for collector raids. 20 or so minions provide a far better benefit than a few extra barbs/archers.
Train Fast and Donate Fast.
I generally use Archers for all my attacks, sometimes Archers and Minions. I could never tame Barbs so far :(
if you're TH9 and have 2 Max drills
the DE won't matter
faster train times = more attack oppurtunity
Minions also have higher DPS/housing space
and it's a flying unit, it's both a pro and a con though :unsure:
Bam were awesome at th8, now I prefer much stronger gibarch, that is trained MUCH longer, but I love it destroying th8s and some premmie th9s. Time for a payback, when I was a th8. With giants lvl6 u can go inside any th8 base. In a long run is more efficient imo, because u don't need dark troops, so u can save extra de.
Much more versatile compared to Barch. BAM can at times drill into a base's core unless the base is well developed. Whereas Barch is mostly for raiding collectors, and it at best can drill into poorly developed TH8 and below.
Your opinion is wrong though. The longer train time loses out on attacks per hour. Therefore you are missing out on extra raids that could give 2000 d.e. per raid instead of saving 180-200 d.e. per attack by omitting minions.Quote:

Nope, i am right.Quote:

But agree, when u raiding de for heroes, are bam much better strategy...faster and cheaper. I will definitelly go back to that strategy, just not now, when i have other priorities.
Try different strategies, try different combos...dont be a one trick pony :D

Therefore that 40k de equates to an extra 10m gold and elixir (assuming 200k g/e per raid). Minions generally increase the potential to raid dark elixir as well, so 40k may be the overall cost, but not the net cost.
I agree with u...like i said for farming is BAM the best combo by far.Quote:
