Strategy
The Barbarian can be used in many different ways. Here we will discuss just a couple ways you can make the most of the Barbarian.

Distraction
The Barbarian is a good troop to distract enemy defenses! Drop a few Barbarians down outside an enemy's base to distract their defenses, then send in a few Wall Breakers to break a hole in the base so the rest of your Barbarians can wreak havoc on their base!

Luring out Clan Castle Troops
The Clan Castle has a range that can cover the majority of a base. Drop a couple Barbarians in the Clan Castle's range to lure out any troops inside of it, then bring them to a corner of the base. Once there, surround the enemy troops with around 10 to 15 Barbarians to get rid of them.

Farming
Barbarians in large groups can be a great way to steal loot from your opponents. Just keep in mind you want to make a profit! You can drop them in large hoards to try to reach storages, or you can just drop a few Barbarians on each Gold Mine and Elixir Collector to steal any resources in them. Just remember that you might lose trophies with this strategy!

Of course the Barbarian has many more uses. Do you have any unique uses for them? Help everyone and share the way you use the Barbarian!
