Barch

[oldman]

Gemmed my spells, troop composition around 35 mins.

That must have been some time ago --- Isaac now has 1703 cups. However, those are nice raids no doubt.

Edit: Interesting composition --- might give that a try as my overnight cook. Thanks

Wait a minute Mr. AxlFoley --- as a 7 you only have one DK barracks max training on hogs is 10 unboosted takes 20 minutes. You hafta fill that up twice + to get your composition. Ya gotta be boosting those to get em done in 40 minutes. And that doesn't count the minions.

I'm a Town Hall 8, completely maxed my defenses with Barch. It can pick off outside collectors and if you bring some wallbreakers and use your BK (if it's a good level), you can even get storages. Barch can also get you 50% on many bases if used correctly.

25 Hog Riders a raid costs 1125 DE per raid. You averaged 300 DE loot a raid, which suggests that your farming strategy isn't exactly a sustainable one. Which also probably explains why you are still at level 2 hogs and level 1 BK.

B-arch can get you loot from anywhere, if used by someone who has skill and experience, especially below about 1600 cups and TH8 or TH7. You do not need WB to get into the core, if that's what you want to do (depends on the risk vs reward) - you just might need to use a spell or two (which is easily affordable, b-arch and BAM make loads of elixer). B-arch is great for gold, and DE, and elixer. BAM is great for slightly faster raiding of gold and elixer, most likely making less DE.

People who say you need WB to get into the core, or that b-arch is only useful for collector raids, have obviously not used it enough to become well skilled. It's a simple army, but takes some experience to learn how best to use it against different types of bases. Personally, my daughter and I have been using it for months at TH7 and TH8, from high Silver up to low Crystal and then back to low Gold, and it was only around G1-C3 that we had to rely on collector raids for great loot, below 1800 there's plenty of collectors and storages. We also use it in clan wars, usually for 2 stars against similar level bases. For TH8, the farming sweet spot for b-arch is probably somewhere between 1400 and 1600 cups.

Unless you like to spend all day on your phone and tablet constantly attacking...you basically need weak bases or abandoned bases with full mines. Low risk, low reward, high maintenance.

Town Hall 7 here. I do 15-20 hogs, 10 minions, 14 wiz, the rest archers. I 3 star town hall 8s and my last 9 attacks have all been between 400k-710k at Gold 3. Sorry, but I'd rather done one big money attack every 30-40 mins, than do like 4 attacks per hour and get almost the same loot. Over a day, my elixir is full (3mill) and I've bought 20 purple walls, bought final upgrades for one gold and one elixir storage, and started my last heal spell upgrade.

Barch is for the dudes that only have ♥♥♥ in the missionary position, and don't double down on 10 or 11 in blackjack.

Um, dafaq? Low risk, low reward? You mean, Low risk and HIGH reward right? High maintenance? I think spending over 750 dark elix, 100k+ elix and 1 hour+ training time sounds more 'high maintenance' than 50k elix and 20 minutes training time. 'almost the same loot'? don't make me laugh bro. your army expenditure far offsets any loot you gain.

Assuming you get 9 x 700k, you get something like 6.3 million in resources. This would be in AT LEAST 9 hours because your army takes AT LEAST 1 hour to train, so raiding 9 times takes you AT LEAST 9 hours.

With barch, you would get 400-500k resources on a typical raid. assuming I get 400k resource per raid, and I raid for 9 hours, I get 10.8 million resources in 9 hours (400k x 3 x 9) because barch takes only 20 minutes to train. So yes, you do have to raid more, but the effort is clearly worth the resources.

Gemmed my spells, troop composition around 35 mins.

To make a long story short, yes.

Also, you did not mention that 3 healing spells takes 1.5 hours to make. in the time it takes you to make 3 heal spells, I can get 2million resources if i raid every 20 minutes, where as you only get 600-700k in that time. Also, These raids show that you have lost about 2k dark elixir over 4 raids.

Also, you accuse barch of 'only working on inactive bases'. But 3 of the bases you attacked are definitely inactive and would easily be barchable.

Also, the fact that you are close to gold 1 and only a town hall 7 proves that you are just some dumb trophy pusher who does not know ANYTHING about farming. So don't rock up to a barch thread and rock off your pie hole about how barch is ♥♥♥♥ and how great you think you are.

Conclusion: If you want to LOSE dark elixir, raid once every 1.5 hours and don't want to develop your base quickly, use this guy's army composition. If you want a proven, popular and fast way of developing all aspects of your village, use Barch or BAM.

I have had a couple positive and negative comments about barch. So is there a strategy that is inexpensive that will give me at least 1.5 million+ gold and will have a pretty quick training time. Iam hoping to make about 4 million gold a day and i play about 3-5 hrs so is there a strategy that meets all my requirements?

Barch bro, the hater (singular, not plural) doesn't know what he's talking about. You can net 4mil a day ez with barch.

I have been successful with barch as a farming strategy since th7. It can be used from silver league to low crystal if needed. It is easy to maintain trophy range and needs no spells. You can throw in support troops if you wish but don't need to. And it can raid all types of bases if used correctly.

Video I made on barching. Did it in gold 1 but you can use in silver and up to round there depending on preference

Perfect, perfect!! Nice video --- I would add that when I'm attacking base that has no tombstones (no recent attacks) I peck around the collectors with barbs to uncover the bombs and traps --- doesn't take many and then full bore.

Again, thanks for the video.
