What's with the BARCH hype?

[AFRO]

I've seen a lot of posters saying they use BARCH for farming, but with collector raids being so rare nowadays I don't see why people don't use giant-based composition to get storage raids....

Ill pile on here too, its not 'Hype' its effective.

and Ill add; you don't need to hit the 'maxed-out lvl 11, full' collectors offering 250k in order to profit. when you use Barch (or any variant, I augment with Giant/WB, and some gobs when needed) then any base with more than 80k is a profit, and if you win you get the loot bonus too.

if you straight Barch, then your compo should cost you under 60K even with maxed troops. 220 lvl 6 all arch army is 66K...so if you do half Barbs then its 110 Barbs x (150 each elix) = 16.5k elix. + 110 Arch (x 300) 33k elix = 49.5K to make your army.. (unless you spam a lot of spells to get the score) so that right there is a cheap army. cheaper if you don't have maxed troops.. cooks in like 20 minutes if you empty the camps..if you use Giants/WBs/Spells then obviously the cost goes up, and you will need to recover more to profit.. but that makes logical sense too. Save the Giants/WBs/Spells for those raids that truly need it, and use the BAGs to get the rest..

I get in, I get the loot, I get out.. if you have 35-40 or so % of the base gone, then a few more troops may be worth the extra couple percent to get that win and a bonus.. if not, when you get too low, and the THs are frequently two-below your current TH, then smash them up for easy trophies (or snipe some farmer THs) and climb back up with the same troop compo..

I will agree with you though, I hunt for storages more than collectors.. some easily accessed storages make for some easy looting..all the Trophy-esque layouts sacrifice some degree of storage accesability to try to keep their cup count..makes it easier to get the goods IMO..

and now the BK/AQ wont chase your troops down so if the storages are on the opposite side then you are good to go!
The clan castle troops can still be lured in the same manner, so use the same technique to dispose of them..

YMMV; Farm on Clasher!

there is tons of collector raids still i can usually find one after nexting 20-30 times the only ♥♥♥♥ty part is when u drop all the barbs and they decide they wanna run laps around the base destroying everything on the outside lol

240 army. I train gobs barbs archers and minions(GoBAM) but some still call it barching. I also carry some wb's just in case i have to break thru some storages.

It's effective, trust me. 300k loot combined with 1k-1.5k de on average per raid. Plus 34k each resource and 100de bonus loot when 50%.

I farm in crystal 2.

probably because the demise of the collector raid has been greatly exaggerated. There are plenty out there, just need to find them.

Also, my army of 200 usually contains between 5-10 giants and 5-10 wbs. This helps me get to collectors that aren't too heavily protected. I still call it barch. I imagine others do too.

nooooooo if you use giants dont call it barch...call it healer giant, because thats what you will eventually get to using, barch is for the elite farmers who Max everything out including walls and heroes, not the people who use freaking giants because they cant barch!

Well This Last one is bam...but just look at the top two...
This is BAM...See how I don't throw in some minions and just still call it barch?

barch was not worth it for me until I hit lvl 4 troops. Once there, a BARCH army could be used to wipe out a fellow TH7, or a 6 no problem, and worked for a collector raid as well...

However, I rarely use JUST Barch. My barch army also has WB's no matter what, and sometimes I will augment with goblins as well.

When I am trying to go for 3 star attacks to quickly bump my trophy count now I use Giants/archers/barbs/WB. With a heal spell or two.

But just for 1 star and fast gold increases barch is effective every time.

I use 92 archers, 72 barbs and 8 giants 8 wallbreakers. Very flexible army take can take collectors and storages bases with no problem using spells and heroes.

what trophy range are you in????????

[nikkisixx101]

giants, wallbreakers, barbs and archers is not barch lol.

barch is barbs and archers.

if you add a small amount of wallbreakers it's barch with wallbreakers.

if you also add giants the dynamics of it are so different you cannot call it barch.

I am at C3, I do not next more than 5-10 times to find a base offering 100k+ each,
I will settle for less if it's an easy take fom a premmie TH8 say
with L6 B'n'A I also carry just 4 each of G/WB ... that doesn't take too much space from my barch army and offers great options (giants as meat shield, wb as door opener, g+wb to take out a particularly pesky wiztower or mortar....)
I win 98% of my attacks with no spells or just one and heroes from 45% to 50%
I tend to skip TH10s as 50% can be difficult, and or cost more than one spell as well as both heroes.
Have Fun
