Option unmentioned "Easy farm army (GiWbGob) for storage + collector raids"
GiWbGob is basically giant, wallbreaker, goblin
Three small letters: B-A-M:thumbsup:
i don't snipe to farm(but i do put my th outside to get shield though)..
It should be fair game after the update... if they make farming harder to force us to gem most of em would quit clash or focus on war
Never sniped never will.
Barch FTW
I though it was GiGo... I use it myself... but with the strategy its difficult to gain trophies thats y I had it listed in the drop and farm section but it might change now since the goblins will go for the Townhall as well... :)Quote:

Don't agree with that. You can push trophies at any level TH. Obviously a TH6 isn't going to make champs without sniping, but that's as it should be. TH8 and above should still be able to push with proper armies. Champs is certainly attainable for a TH8 without sniping.Quote:

I agree that all townhall levels can push for trophies and there will be natural limits to how far they can go now after the update and thats how it should be but if ur into trophy pushing then the ultimate dream has to be to reach Legends League IMO and u will not make it there unless ur TH11... I dont think it will be efficient to farm while pushing because of the troop costs and extra defenses which u will b forced into so everyone will have to come up with some sort of farming strategy in order to advance... It would b ideal if pushing was the best farming strategy as well then everyone would be pushing at all townhall levels but until thats the case everyone will need to come up with a farming strategy which they are comfortable with... Progression is a core element of the game and it needs to be fun and challenging in order for u to continue but if it becomes impossible or too challenging or takes too long then u will lose the interest of a lot of players and thats the balance which SuperCell will strive to achieve and maintain... I think its in their best interest to keep farming fun, challenging and fast and I think they already know this... :)Quote:

Medium troops and loot bonus.Quote:

might as well drop to zero trophies to protect my resources from maxed TH 10, currently at Master II (3605 trophies), and yeah from time to time I encounter TH 8s (TH 10 here, not yet maxed)
LOL!!! ;)Quote:

Works beautifully... i make much more than i spend. My average bases contain at least 200k of each resource, 800 de plus loot bonus (i farm at crystal 1, so i get an extra 65k each and 300 de), and on occasions i get lucky with some 600-800k resource bases with about 3000de. Those are always yummy lol. Only factor i see now is that i will be getting hit once for every 2-3 attacks i make WHICH SUCKSSS IDGAF. LOL. Just gonna have to make the best of my attacks n make sure to get the loot.
GiBArch storages and dead bases.
I never sniped before!
It's less about what troops you use and more about what base you pick. Every troop composition has it's advantages and it's drawbacks against different types of bases. Just about any of the popular strategies will work, as long as you pick the right base to use it against and execute.
I encourage my clan mates to use an attack they want to get good at in war. It's good practice for the real thing and you will be prepared for whatever the base throws at you. Yes, it can be expensive, but there is nothing more frustrating than attacking a weak-looking base with not full-strength troops/spells and getting surprised by advanced traps or clan castle troops. And again, just be patient and pick a base with high loot that looks good for whatever attack you've chosen.
you laugh but you be surprised how many ppl on forum don't actually play the game actively. Sure they gave a base but it's not progressing. Some ppl are more like 'professional forumers' rather than clashers:smirk:Quote:

Yep, I voted!Quote:

BArch/BAM/GBArch collectors or storages same as before update in the lowest leagues I can get to. Silver 3 looks good for me now & should be the same after the update ;)
I've been using Gibarch for months (storage/core raids) and will continue to do so after the update.
I've also registered my Dark Elixir level each morning for months and it will be exciting to see if the daily difference goes up or down significantly.
/Affront
I am sure u would agree that the Info Heavy Sneek Peeks have all been released... This week will b all about the New defenses and New Dark Troop and New Hero at TH11 and V have sufficient info about TH snipping to assume that it will b dead so I could argue that this is not a speculation thread but a thread to figure out what alternatives everyone who used to snipe THs exclusively are considering... I hate speculation polls as much as u do... would never add to them... :)Quote:

It will only come after the economy crashes... I hope ur right and v get some trade off but I doubt it very much... :straightface:Quote:

There is no reason to hold that info back... instead of the interview with the developer to explain that farming is not dead and u can still do collector raids with barch and bam it would have been more prudent to just revel the solution they had come up with to calm everyone down... Their best and final explanation was the interview and their solution was correction which they released as the 4th sneek peek... they dont have anything else to offer us right now... they will wait and watch and make changes if the economy crashes like last time unfortunately... :unsure:Quote:
