Barbarians
Clan
Reworked in Season 11 — Supercell has confirmed Barbarians is getting new mechanics but hasn't published exact numbers yet. The stats and ability text below are what shipped before the rework and are still accurate until it lands.
Barbarians is a Common troop with the Clan trait, bought for 2 Elixir. It spawns as a full pack of melee attackers rather than a single unit, trading individual durability for numbers — each Barbarian is fragile alone, but together they can overwhelm a target through sheer attack volume.
