Farming by jamesonsky

Hi all this is Jamesonsky here and this is my first post and I plan to make it a tutorial on farming. Now for those of you who do not know who farming is, it is a way to quickly gather resources in the game. To make this clear, farming is just raiding in the game but doing it a different way, so lets jump right in.

To my understanding, there are two basic ways to farm in this game, to drop trophies, and to not. obviously not dropping trophies would be the better way to do it but it requires a bit more time, resources, and strategy. I am going to explain how to get lots of resources quick without dropping trophies. so the army that I use for this type of raid is about three to five wall breakers and the rest is barbs and archers half and half. I have about 180 army spaces available but I used to do this when I had far fewer.

The first part to choosing a successful farming raid is to choose someone who has lots of resources and has not been on in awhile. You can tell that they have not been on in a while if their storages for gold and elixer are empty and their mines and pumps are really full  and close together. This is the type of person you look for when browsing through the selection of opponents. Now when you begin the raid after you found your opponent, you want to start by deploying a line of barbs parallel to the line of mines and pumps, so that they run up and start hitting them and taking the resources. After doing that, you are going to want to deploy a wall of archers behind them.  The reason you deploy barbarians first is to take the heavy fire power off of your archers. after you break all of the collectors and mines and are happy with how many resources you have taken, you start going after some other buildings on the outside of the walls, so not to loose trophies. some good buildings to attack are barracks, spell factories, laboratories, and builders huts because of their low health. once you destroy 50% of their buildings you will be able to end the battle and gain anywhere from 4-11 trophies.

The reason for this kind of attack is because it is cheap, quick to train, and if something goes wrong you can quickly deploy your troops to turn the battle around. one thing that you try to remember when farming is that you want to deploy as few as troops as possible to steal all of their resources and gain that one star, so you don't loose more elixer than necessary. one more thing to keep in mind is that loosing a battle and loosing a couple trophies doesn't really matter because you just care about the resources anyway and there is no reason to try to get as many trophies as you can until your base is good enough to handle other people trying to tear it apart.

Anyway thanks for reading and I hope this helps you all on gathering more resources!
