As Dies Barch, So Dies Clash of Clans!

[NateH]

I personally am starting to play around with a couple giants in front of some barch to soak up damage. I've found the army seems to lack firepower due to the decrease in number of barbs and archers. Ill keep experimenting though!

The other issue is I cant add too many giants or wizards because it tends to become a lengthy train.

Giants don't add much to training time:

5 housing space of barbs = 100 seconds
5 housing space of archers = 125 seconds
5 housing space of giants = 120 seconds

Aren't you TH10? Aren't you virtually invincible? Or did something change since I've been gone (forgive me if so)? You can easily pull in 1 million per day of gold with 5 attacks of giant wizard, I don't see the problem here :T

We are far from invincible, I get attacked properly by th10s a lot, it's not all just snipes here.
so your saying 1 million gold per day, that's around 7 days to save for an 8 million gold upgrade with collectors. So how am I supposed to keep 5 builders busy? Farming the way you say I'd have 1 maybe 2 busy if im lucky

I'm a townhall 8 farming down at Gold III, and I can still barch 100k+ loot a raid with no problem. 4 mortars? Use barbs/bark king to soak up damage or drop some lightning spells. Faster archer towers? They still do the same amount of DPS as they previously would. They just take shots twice as fast for half as much damage. Barching or not, all it takes is patience.

Time for me to chip in with the old...... barch is fine.
If you want to farm that is, and below champ.
If you want to push to crazy 🏆s with it, good luck, its going to be tough. Good. As it should be.

Off topic. You realise now you are illuminati you can't post again

I never said 1 million is your max lol. That was just pointing out how incredibly easy it is to farm that. Just amp up your number of attacks and obviously you'll pull in more. I would think barchers would know this as we rely on tons of attacks to pull in decent hauls. Same logic applies with larger armies, you're just going to have some raiding downtime.

Im glad that you're finding farming success but the ranges and bases at question here are a good 1200 cups higher than where you are and defenses are multiple times stronger. A lot of farming is also being done without heroes.

Who told you! And more importantly, muh?
I saw a barch/death complaint thread, added my stock response....

Right, ok, on topic this time.

Yes, you can max a base without barch. Its just a bit slower, particularly on elix.

I only discovered barching a few months ago, nearly all of my farming has been giant-wb-gob-barch, and it worked.
Long as youre willing to keep logging in every half hour, loads of loot can be made, continues to be so for couple of my clan mates. Both hardly ever use any gems on boosting, and both have billion GGs and heroes from 30-40.

Better sj?

5 attacks of a 40 min army is a little over 3 hours if you log on and raid EXACTLY as your army trains up every time without fail. I seem to remember 1 million an hour being a good base point for farmers... Maybe 10 attacks a day is a reasonable amount to get in with that strategy as many have school/work/responsibilities that don't allow them to log on for even one attack. Point is, it just isnt reasonable to make the resources required to keep 5 builders down at the highest end of th10...

Supercell should do everything they can to reward more advanced army compositions and skilled play. Barch is neither and this is another step in the right direction.

Trophies based on army comp.

yeh true but barching is just too effective as Giants require spells. I'll be barching till the day it's unusable which I don't see happening any time soon. Unless they bring out an update where mortars do double damage to barch, but I doubt it.
