What does Supercell have against Barch/ Archers

[Canary848]

couldn't agree more....it's all about the money even though i've always thought barch was actually more skillful than a lot of other giant attacks etc....

It requires minimal skill to use once u sort out four finger drop. Think its still nicer to lose to than someone dumping a load of drags in one spot though.

I've lost 4 raids in a row thanks mainly to uodate the archers are just mowed and the only way dor masters now is th sniping.

GoWipe at TH8 is a solid strategy at TH8 that can get you to masters. You can one or two star mid level TH9s with this, it just takes a LOT of resources.

Keep in mind at TH8 you can have level two golems, level three pekkas, and a level 10 barb king. If you bring say a level 5 pekka in the clan castle you can do some serious damage at TH8.

Also you can mass drag, 10 level 3 dragons with 1 in the clan castle can also do lots of damage.

quit complaining. I have been attacking all day with great success. Try something new!!!!

I'm just saying that pushing with low resource cost at th8 is now pretty impossible. I'm gonna go back to farming. I'm not complaining too much I mainly wanted to see how other people felt/ were effected by this change.

What is the problem? The new archer tower update as ruined archers to be honest, yet they still have an extortinate upgrade cost? If you don't like them and they are too good by all means do the archer tower thing but please the upgrade isnt really worth it anymore.

There is one thing about this post I really like.

SuperCell have really nerfed archers in this update, that is a fact. It makes you wonder why they still have that absurd upgrade cost.

I still love archers though, simply because they train so fast. If other troops trained faster that would be the best way to reduce archer numbers.

All that has changed is we need to be more selective, when choosing a base, thats all. Barch is stil good.

They realize that if they continue to let people BARCH, then there is nothing seperating their game and whatever 3 year olds play these days.

Reading everyone's comments has made me see that I should stop mosning as th8s werent meant to be that high anyway, barch was a bit of a loophole. However, the upgrade cost it the one thing I fail to see the point in, now that they have been nerfed you would have thought the price would have gone down? I agree completely about the training time however if they did I think the same thing would repeat itself with another troop.

This made me laugh I see your point it needed doing, wish I had gone earlier and got gems though.

It seems to still be fine for farming, pushing with high lvl a towers in opposition on every base is where the problem lies.

The main reason I was pushing was for loot bonus and therefore pretty easy de, more of which one the way down. This was mainly for lvl 2 golems as I need tk get them however drills will help massively with this. I will give this a go possibly if I have a lot of resources to spare at end of th8, now that walls are gold only this is quite likely.
