Barbarians:

The barbarians are the first troop you are able to get! You get them at the beginning of the game and use it all the way through! It is a really good troop if you level it up to 4 or 5. They are small troops and they carry a sword around and attack!

Stats and Strats

The good thing is that they are really fast and in big numbers, can destroy everything! But they easily can be taken out by mortars!

The Barbarians do not have a favorite target, so generally attack the closest structure to them.

In terms of units to support Barbarians, Archers and Giants are those most frequently employed in this task.

TIP: If there are undefended Mortars, send a Barbarian to deal with them as they cannot attack close targets.

If you are choosing Barbarians as a Clan Castle unit, this is a good decision, as they have deal high damage for units which only take up one space.

Barbarians are an excellent choice for a Clan Castle troop as they have relatively high health and damage for single housing space troops. They will soak up a significant amount of damage, delaying attackers and allowing your fixed defenses take care of the rest.
