BarbWiz- The Undiscovered Country

Greetings, Warriors! I'm posting this because I haven't read any posts about it, if there is then please disregard. I'm a th8.5 using lv5 troops. I use 100 Barbarians, 20 Wizards, and 10 wall breakers (in war; for raids and pushing I use 0-4 wb's and a few less wiz). The beauty of this setup is in the cost, customization and flexibility. With this army, one can trip traps (plenty of barb fodder), lure clan castles (throw in a giant/hog), and two or three star villages that "I didn't think it would", due partially to the fact that there are so many targets for defences to choose from. Even a maxed th9 or new th10 gets a 1 or 2 star if I throw heals all the way to the core. I'm still considering myself "noob" on rage spells, I know they're not a magic cure-all, and I like "surgical" when I'm droppin' 30k resources on an attack. But they do even better when I pull it off right. It's a step up from barch on offence, and I can't wait to see what th9 troops and spells (along with Queeny) add to the fray. Clash on!

Im a bit skeptical of this strategy. Obviously the cost and time of your army are a huge bonus. Except with this strategy I don't believe you can attack without at least 3-4 heals and maybe 1 rage. Which totally ruins the quickness of the attacking because that will take 1-2 hours to train not to mention almost 100,000 elixir. Attacking with no spells you would be fried by X-Bows and Splash Defense. Barch is so effective because often you don't even need spells. Barch is faster, cheaper, and frankly, more effective than this strategy it seems.

That's great! I buy gems every so often, so I can boost while raiding. Yes, otherwise spells take way too long. I don't have to "next" with this strategy, I just hit the first good trophy offering/loot. Barch is waaaay cheaper, yep. Math. But, u cant two star a th9.5 with lv5 barch, even with spells. Unless theyre not set up properly. I love how people brag about barch, only to see theyre attacking horrible bases. Yes, barch works great for abandoned villages or noob rushers, but a solid base comes and u wont get a star. I've played awhile, and enjoy the game, slowly maxing th8 and trying all different kinds of armies. if all one does is barch, one loses perspective.

Also, It's used for trophy "pushing", not maintaining, and DE/Gold raiding. Usually get enough purp to cover the cost though.
