To counter this you can consider to use Lightning Spell to take out Mortars or a Healing Spell to take out Wizard Towers. Mortars and Wizard Towers is your biggest threat. The weakness of this setup is definitely splash damage. The setup is strong compared to the price of the troop. The strenght of this setup is that you can do attacks very often and farm alot of resources in short time.
The idea is to let the barbarians tank damage while the archers stand behind and deal damage. You can also add Wall Breakers to the Barbarian and Archers setup. It can also be good to create a few more archers than barbarians. You should create about 50-50% of Barbarians and Archers. It’s perfect if you have some spare time and want to farm loads of resources.
It’s one of the oldest strategies in the game and still amazing! The troop is fast to produce and let you attack rapidly.
The Barbarian and Archers strategy is used to farm loads of resources in short time.
