Best farming army for TH 7 & 8 (NOT BARCH)
SC already nerfed it by increasing their prices, esp for arch.
And if you want resources, why not use goblins who do 2x to resources?
If you want to win the battle too, why not bring your AQ or BK to snipe the TH (if it can be sniped)?
Put all these things together and you'll be gaining trophies (despite losing some when you can't snipe TH) and getting great loot at very low expenses.
The best army composition for Army Camp of 200 (TH7 & 8) is:
132 goblins
12 giants
4 wall breakers
3 healing spells
BK
This method has been tried and tested and is the best way to get loot, without getting into messy and sticky fights.
1) Perfect for getting loot on the outside (collectors), and if it's heavily protected, send out a giant or two for each section of collectors.
2) Has enough firepower to penetrate "not-so-great" bases, as the giants, combined with the healing spells, and work their way into the base, leaving the goblins to take the loot.
3) Still quick to train; doesn't take much longer than barch. Assuming you have 4 lvl 7, 8 or 9 barracks that aren't upgrading, the army will take 24 mins to be done (exc spells).
4) Still cheap to train. 41,560 elixir for the 200 Army Camp composition. 3 healing spells will take that too 101,560 but it's very rare you'll need to use all 3 spells on a base.
I'll post my results in another thread; some of the loot exceeds 300k,whixh is awesome for this army.
For the league, Silver 1 to 2 is about where I stay.
