Town Hall 5 attack strategy:- Barch, Mass Barbarian, GiBarch, Mass Balloon, GiWiArch. (With picture)

Hello guys, welcome to another article of rapidclashers, and today I'm going to tell you some attack strategy of town hall 5. But before we start this, let me tell you some basic features of town hall 5. In town hall 5 your troop capacity will increased to 135(almost double from the previous Town Hall level), along with this you will get a new troop called wizard. As we know wizards are the most destructive unit of the game. So after getting access to this troop there is no doubt that your attacks will be much  more stronger than before. Let's check out some popular attack strategy of town hall 7.


Farming Strategy:-  Farming is one of the most important things that you have  to do in CoC if you want to make yourself stronger. Farming means to fill your gold and elixir storage as soon as possible. For doing this you need an army which is lower in cost and takes less time to train. From the beginning of the game to the end, Barch is no doubt the best strategy for farming (for gold and elixir only, in later stages you need to try another strategy for farming dark elixir, But forget about it right now).

So lets come to the first strategy which is called Barch. In this strategy you can take 50-60 barbarians and fill the rest with archers (or some goblins in addition, based on your preference).  Barbarians will work as the tanking troops i.e. they will take the damage from the defenses while archers (and goblins, if any) will clear the base up. Deploy your troops in a column near the collectors and take the loot. For full guide about the strategy, click here.

Mass Barbarian is also almost same as Barch attack, but in this strategy you have to take all the barbarians instead of any other troops. The troop deployment is also same. But the success rate of this strategy is quite low than Barch as the Barbarians can deal lower damage than the archers. But it will also work like a charm once you get expertise upon it.

War Strategy:- As I have told before, Town Hall 5 is the best place to gain your knowledge and experience in Clan War as your troop capacity will increased to 135 and you will get a very powerful troop called wizard. Beside this, you also get Lightning spell which you can upgrade upto level 4 which is also very powerful. So you can try many attack  in this th level. I will discuss three town hall 5 attack strategy here which will help you to get a certain 3 star in every war. You can also use all these strategy for farming and trophy pushing as all of this attack will ensure atleast 1 or 2 star even on higher town halls. Let's start with the first:-

GiBarch:- GiBarch means Giant barbarian and Archers. It is a very useful strategy for farming and trophy pushing as well as in Clan War.

 Remember, to ensure a 3 star you need some more higher level troops in your Clan castle from your Clan mates. For Town Hall 5, I will recommend Higher level
(atleast4-5) Hog Rider/Balloon/Wizard in the CC. The higher level troops you get, the chances of getting a 3 star will increase. This tips is applied to all other strategis. Without CC troops, you may not get a 3 star (1 or 2 star is assured though).

At first let me tell about the troop composition:-
       Barbarians:- 20-30
       Archers.     :- 40-50
       Giants.        :- 8-10
       Wall breaker:- 4
       CC troops.   :- Hog/Balloon/Wizard
       Spell.           :- 1 lightning

In this picture, you can find out how many Wall Breakers do need to break a wall according to your Wall breaker's current level:-

Your first priority should be to lure defensive clan castle troops. If you are doing attack in clan war, you can simply tap on the opponent's clan castle to know whether there is any troops or not. But if you are playing in multiplayer battle, you should deploy one single troops within the range of clan castle (be sure to use only archers, barbarians or wall breaker because they consume little housing space). This picture will show you how to do this:-

After that, bring them to one corner to kill them (but be sure to get out of the reach of defensive structures). See the image below.

When the troops come to a corner, hit them with your lightning spell. The spell will do half the work for you.

After that, if any defensive CC troops survives from the spell, finish them with your Archer. Be careful about this and do not deploy all your troops in one place. Instead of this, deploy them in a circle like this. To know more about how to kill the CC troops, click Here.

When the defensive CC troops are killed, send your giant to take the damage and finish the defensive structures.

Then deploy all your troops and CC troops to clear the base off. If there are some buildings in the corners of the base, engage one troops for each building so that you would not run out of time.

That's all. By this way, you can do a successful 3 star attack for your clan.

Pros:- In the respect of other troops compositions the cost is very low and take  less time to train.
           Can be used in Farming, trophy pushing and clan war.

Cons:- Not as powerful as GiWiArch.



Mass Balloon Strategy:-

Town Hall 5 is the last town hall level where you can attack this strategy for last time. After this, you have to wait till town hal 9 to do mass Balloon attack as the number of Anti Air defence will increase. But as there is only one air defence in town hall 5 (most of them is non max-out) you can easily use this strategy to get a 3 star. This strategy is so strong that very few base can resist the power of this strategy.

Let's come to the basics of the strategy. The plan is, first lure the defensive Clan Castle troops, kill them, destroy the Air defense, send your Balloons to clear up the base. Now come to the troop composition. For this attack, you can take 10 archer, 5 wizard (or 30 archers), 1 giant and 20 Balloon. You should also take 1 Lightning spells and 3 Max Balloon/ hog rider/ wizard in your CC.

At first, lure the defensive CC troops by one of your Archer.

Take them in a corner and kill them with your archers, wizerd, Lightning spell (you can save the lightning spell to destroy the air defence later).

Send your Giant, CC troops and rest of your troops to destroy the air defense.

Once the air defence is destroyed, deploy your Balloon rapidly to take out all the structures.

Remember one thing, Balloons move very slowly, The only problem of this strategy is you can run out of time. So save couple of your troops to clear up the non-defensive structures.

Thus you can get a easy 3 star by using this strategy.

Pros:- Highly effective against town hall 4 & 5.
           Can be used for every purpose i.e. farming, war, trophy.
           Success rate is very high.

Cons:- Very much costly and time consuming.
            If the Anti Air Defense is placed in the core of the base, the attack may ruin.
           Wizard Tower and Air Bomb can deal splash damage to the Balloons. So if both of them are placed side by side, They can destroy a bunch of Balloons.



GoWiArch:- This is the last strategy of Town hall 5 today I am going to discuss. This is the most used strategy of town hall 5 that's why I am discussing it at the end. This strategy contains 3 major troops i.e. Giants, Wizards and Archers. This strategy is quite same as GiArch, but the main difference is the destruction power of this strategy is much more powerful than GiBarch. It is mainly because of the Wizards. This combo will make your attack so powerful. The main strategy is to lure out and kill defensive CC troop, release the Giants, behind it the wall breakers to make the path, after that your clearing troops such as Archers and Wizards to clear the base away.

Now let's talk about the troop composition.
In this combo you can take 10 Giants, 10 Wizards, 4 wall breakers. 2 Barbarians (to lure CC troops) and 35 archer. In addition, take max Hog/Balloon/Wizard/Giant in your CC and 1 Lightning spell for the defencive CC troops.

At first, deploy your Barbarians near the Clan Castle to lure out the defensive CC troops.

Then take them to a corner with an archer and cast the lightning spell upon them and  kill them with your archers.

After that send the Giants to the core of the base. After them, deploy the wall breakers to make a path (be careful before delpoying the wall breakers. Watch the firing gap of the morter so that the Wall breakers would not get killed by the morters)

Then send your Archrs and Wizards to clear the base totaly.

Pros:- Very effective against all types of bases.
           Can be used in farming, war and trophy pushing.
           High success rate.

Cons:- Little time consuming and costly.
