## How to Beat Kitchen Sink with Barch
**Introduction**
Kitchen Sink is a popular Clash of Clans base design that can be difficult to beat. It is characterized by its centralized Town Hall, surrounded by a ring of defensive structures, with multiple compartments or “sinks” that can trap attacking troops. However, with the right strategy and troop combination, it is possible to overcome this formidable base.
**Building an Effective Barch Army**
The core of a successful Barch (Barbarian and Archer) army lies in its composition and level. For attacking Kitchen Sink bases, aim for the following troop distribution:
– Barbarians: 150-200
– Archers: 100-150
The optimal level for both Barbarians and Archers is 5 or higher. At this level, they have sufficient damage output and hitpoints to withstand the defenses of a Kitchen Sink base.
**Deployment Strategy**
The key to beating Kitchen Sink with Barch is to lure the defending Clan Castle (CC) troops outside of the base and eliminate them before they can reach your army. Follow these steps for an effective deployment:
1. **Edge Deployment**: Deploy a few Barbarians on the edge of the base, away from any defensive structures.
2. **King Deployment**: Drop your Barbarian King near the lured CC troops to tank their damage while your Barbarians and Archers attack them.
3. **Barch Deployment**: Once the CC troops are eliminated, deploy your main Barch army around the perimeter of the base.
**Army Management**
Throughout the attack, it is crucial to manage your army effectively to maximize their efficiency and minimize losses:
– **Funnel Troops**: Use Barbarians to create funnels for your Archers to safely target the defenses.
– **Split Archers**: Divide your Archers into smaller groups to avoid being targeted by splash damage.
– **Heal and Rage**: Use Healing Spells to keep your troops alive and Rage Spells to boost their damage output.
**Understanding Compartmentalization**
The “sinks” or compartments in a Kitchen Sink base are designed to trap and isolate attacking troops. To overcome this, utilize the following strategies:
– **Divide and Conquer**: Split your Barch army into smaller groups and attack different compartments simultaneously.
– **Jump Spells**: Use Jump Spells to bypass walls and target defenses within the compartments.
– **Avoid Mortars**: Mortars are deadly against clumped-up troops. Spread your army out and target mortars as soon as possible.
**Defeating the Town Hall**
The Town Hall (TH) is the primary target in any Clash of Clans attack. To reach the TH in a Kitchen Sink base:
– **Clear Outer Compartments**: Destroy all of the defensive structures and enemy troops in the outer compartments before attempting to break into the central area.
– **Create Funnels**: Use Barbarians and Wall Breakers to funnel your Archers towards the TH.
– **Protect Archers**: Use Healing Spells and Clan Castle support to keep your Archers alive as they target the TH.
**Additional Tips**
– **Use Heroes Wisely**: The Barbarian King and Archer Queen can provide invaluable support in clearing compartments and eliminating defenses.
– **Don’t Be Afraid to Lose Troops**: It is normal to lose some troops when attacking a Kitchen Sink base. Focus on achieving your objectives rather than preserving every unit.
– **Practice and Refine**: The best way to master attacking Kitchen Sink bases is through practice. Experiment with different strategies and troop combinations to find what works best for your army.
**Conclusion**
Beating Kitchen Sink with Barch requires a combination of strategy, troop composition, and army management. By following the steps outlined above and adapting to the specific layout of the base, you can overcome this challenging design and secure victory in Clash of Clans.
