Bolded part is the reason why i like to stay at 200 trophies. Haha. Its really easy money. 1 wallbreaker + 20 goblins will usually get around 20k resources each. I use this method because its the easiest way to get resources without any strategy at all.

will be using this method till i fully upgrade all my defenses. Wall is on level 6&7, currently upgrading the archer tower to max of its level then i can proceed to TH8.
Btw can u share ur methods of raiding higher level base? I usually use 22 giants + 2 healers + rest is goblins plus archer but this method doesnt usually work. If else fail i just used 3 lightning and get easy gold/resources with it. Haha.
Well there's no one perfect style for farming, but the one that works for me is that I bring 12 giants, 10 wall breakers, 60 archers, 60 goblins and 10 barbs. Most of my raid are against TH8 and TH9 bases, so I usually choose the base with the least amount of complexity in their layout. I also bring along a healing pot and 2 rage pot in case I need it.
The general idea is to look for its mortar and wiz tower position. Those are the ones I'll be trying to take out. for the weaker bases, I can simply spam all my troops at several junctions and throw in a rage pot in a closed quarters to quickly take out its central defence. If the layout is more balanced and wide apart, I'll focus on two weakest side and force entry beginning with wall breakers and about 5 or 6 giants. Soon after that I'll disperse the archers as backup for the giants while the giants absorb the mortar's attack.
I usually just use the barbs to take out the small buildings at the far end of each corners or buildings that are unprotected. Once the defence has been broken down, meaning mortars and wiz towers neutralized or at least reduce to just one or two, I'll then realease the goblins in large numbers around 10-20 to attack the storage. The goblins can also be used to pick the singled-out gold miners or elixir extractors. Usually it takes about 5 goblins plus 2 archers to quickly take out a lvl 11 miner.
In short, here's my plan of attack when farming:
- take out the mortars
- giants to attract and absorb enemies' defence towers
- archers to take out cannons, archer towers, etc
- goblins to release in small numbers at first and large numbers once defence is thinned out
- barbs to destroy unguarded buildings
Apart from good raiding skills, your own base defence is extremely important to guard as well. Good layout and decent upgrades on your defence towers will reduce your loss when getting raided by other clans. Don't be shy to use other's base layout to copy into your own.
