Would like an alternative to Barch

[AFRO]

From TH7 on My go-to balanced army was:

as my base; 8 WB, 8 Giants, two of each in every rack, takes 8 min to build...

*you can add another Giant to have 12 and 10 min train time as well.. but the numbers are the biggest factor for the T1-Troops.*

Then an Archer-heavy support of Barch/BAM/BAG builds (usually 100 or more Archers, and the rest barbs, gobs, minions)

This compo can get to most 2-layer stores.. 3 if you pack a Rage spell or maybe a heal..(or if the base has low level turrets/walls)

For this strategy, I don't use the WB/Giants every raid, only on the stores behind 2-layers of walls.. this compo also can win you 50% on some bases and you can earn the league bonus as well.

just refill the barrax before you raid, every time! if you need to use the WBs or Giants, then start them first in the Rax, before you look for another base to loot. they should be half done by the time you make it back and your faster-building-farming-troops can quickly fill the camps..

my 2nd go-to army (Resource Army) was 8WBs and the rest a pretty equal mix of Arch and Gob (2 Rax Archer, 2 Rax Goblins) or 8 WB and Barch.. both cook fast and are relatively cheap armies to field...(I always have a few minions too, they are simply useful farming options) Arch/Gob resource, Barch was more Trophy oriented as Barbs deal more Damage.

you also can request a CC full of Giants to help out too.. they distract while your other troops deal damage/take resources..

I don't get it- how'd you know whether you're gonna need giants or wb's or not in your next raid?
Another thing I don't get- why the small size font?

well, you do not know..

that is why I keep them low to refill. 8 of either is only 4 min of your train time if you do them at the same time (or 8 min for both).

So IF I DO use them, then I place them first in the Rax que.. if you do not use them then keep the other troops rolling obviously.. that is what I meant.. (often I will set them in the que and go raid to look for more juicy collectors, or exposed Farmer TH to keep my place while I wait for troops to cook)

you can use them all for every raid and figure out that at least 8 min of your train time will be for your WBs/Giants.. (the higher you go the more likely they will be of use IME) and if I know that there are some in the que already, then I obviously try to target a base that will need them so I don't have too many when I get back..

I do not use them every single raid however...unless there is the need...and when I do use some-or-all of them, I just replace the ones that are missing..


Also... This is the next size (3) for this font..

so, I opt for Size 2... so it dosent seem like I am yelling

Just for refrence, this is how size one looks...much too tiny.
