COC Barbarian is the first troop unlocked by the Barracks.

Barbarian is available at Town Hall 1 and Barrack level 1.

During attack, Barbarians will attack the closest structure to them. However, once they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons(either by being attacked themselves or being near another friendly troop under attack), they will leave their previously targeted structure and engage the enemy troops instead. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, they will proceed to attack the nearest building from their current location.

Clash of Clans Barbarian Offensive Strategy

Barbarian are the cheapest and most used troops in COC attacks.

Since it is a single housing troops, you can keep them in large number in your army. This is balanced by the fact that the Barbarians are not very effective under heavy fire from splash damaging buildings.

Attackers spread Barbarians to avoid them all being picked off in one group by a Mortar or a Wizard Tower as these Defensive Buildings deal splash damage.

Attacker can put 1-2 barbarian to defuse spring/ bombs which are located outside base walls.

Besides doing splash damage, the Mortar also knocks back any Barbarians it strikes by 2 tiles (sometimes this can even change the Barbarians' target, if it moves them closer to another building).

Attacker also use Barbarians first to test what troops are in the defending player's Clan Castle, where any traps and bombs. They can be used to activate hidden Teslas as well.

Barbarians can act as a "poor man's" distracting troop in a similar fashion to Giants; while they have far less health individually, a group of five Barbarians (the same housing requirement as one Giant) has approximately 75% of the health as a similar-level Giant (up to level 5) while doing nearly 4 times the damage (and costing approximately 20-25% of the Elixir to train).

Note that this strategy is far less effective if splash damage defenses are in the area, as they will damage all Barbarians at once and destroy them relatively quickly.

They are good to take out lone buildings, like Builder's Huts placed far away to prevent full destruction.

If a COC Mortar is exposed and otherwise undefended, a single Barbarian can easily destroy it as Mortars cannot target troops which are within 4 tiles of them.

In Clash of clans, Barbarians, along with Archers, are normally used in swarms to defeat Barbarian King or the Archer Queen. This is because they are inexpensive, and take up the minimum amount of housing space and therefore can be deployed in large numbers; the fact that Hero attacks are single-target means that the Hero can only kill one of the swarming troops at a time.

Barbarians are effectively deployed with the Barbarian King once the King has received his Iron Fist ability. When activated, all nearby Barbarians (not just the ones summoned) will receive bonus speed and damage while they remain in the Barbarian King's circle of rage.

Clash of Clans Barbarian Defensive Strategy

As barbarian is the cheapest units, it easy to receive it from Clash members :). Since COC Barbarians occupies only single housing space and also have good health. So they are an excellent choice for Clan Castle troops. Because their housing space is only 1, you will be able to have a large amount of them in your Clan Castle, making them more time consuming to lure out. In large number, Barbarians will be soaking up most of the damage from attack and they will help your defenses to kill out enemy army. Because of large number of barbarians in your castle, it will take some time for attack to kill out all Castle troops during attack and it will help you to save your village as well.

Please note that :-

Since barbarian can attack only ground unit, they will be inefficient against air attacks.

With the introduction of Poison spell,low-hit point units such as the Barbarian are significantly less effective inside Clan Castles.
