BAM farming strategy

The BAM farming strategy is used to farm loads of resources in short time. It’s similar to the Barb/Archer strategy, but this setup also includes Minions. It’s an amazing way to farm loads of resources in short time.
A easy way to create the attack troop fast is:

• 2 barracks trains Archers
• 2 barracks trains Barbarians
• Dark barracks train minions

You can also add Wall Breakers to the BAM farming setup, and you can also replace some of the Barbarians with Giants, but remember that it will take longer time to create and that they cost more elixir.
The idea of this setup is to distract defensive buildings with Barbarians and Archers and then send in Minions.
You should draw Barbarians in a ring around the base, then rings of Archers. Then you should find a good spot for the Minions and send them in. A good place would be away from the Air defence and Wizard Towers.
Some prefer to use this setup together with a Healing ring and Rage rings. Consider to use the Healing ring close to Air Defence or Wizard Towers and the Rage spell when your minions are in middleo f their base, so that your sure you will get everything they have.

Strenght and weaknesses

The strenght of this setup is that you can do attacks very often and farm alot of resources in short time. The setup is quite strong. Because the setup only require cheap units and that we use all barracks speeds the creation time up alot.
The weakness of BAM strategy is Air Defence and Wizard Towers. To counter them you should consider using Healing ring or take the Air Defence and Wizard Towers out with your Barbarian and Archers.

Which bases to attack

Alot of people farm 1.000.000 resources each hour by using the BAM strategy. You should look for bases that has atleast 100.000+ resources stored.
Easy bases to attack are these who lines up their gold mines and elixir pumps close to the outer walls.
You should also look for bases that has the Air Defence and Wizard Towers in a bad positions so you can take them out quick. Preferable with groups of Archers and Barbarians. Dont send all into splash damage, send them in waves to prevent damaging you whole troop at once.
