Barbarian Kicker in Clash of Clans is skilled with a Free Kick ability that, for his first assault after being deployed, allows him to attack the closest defense building with a football, dealing 2,700 damage.

Hitpoints: 2,000
Damage per second: 165
Training time: 1 minute and 30 seconds
Targets: Ground
Housing space: 12

Note that the troop is availed in the Barracks and doesn't need to be unlocked by finishing any missions. Moreover, what level of Barbarian Kicker you receive depends on your Town Hall level.

Tips and tricks to use Barbarian Kicker in Clash of Clans

Here are some of the best ways to use the Barbarian Kicker in Clash of Clans in your multiplayer attacks:

1) Use it with the Giant Arrow

One of the best ways to use the new troop is to add him to your army composition while equipping your Archer Queen with the Giant Arrow. This Hero Equipment allows her to shoot an arrow that crosses through the entire village, taking down whatever buildings come its way.

Next, you can deploy Barbarian Kickers to take down lethal defenses from a distance, which will allow you to make a safe passage for your army to break into the enemy village. Moreover, the damage caused by the Giant Arrow will make it easier for Barbarian Kickers to destroy the defenses.

2) Avoid deploying them before enemy Heroes

You might have noticed while using Barbarian Kickers in your attack strategy that they don't use their Free Kick ability on Heroes. This makes them prone to their lethal attacks and often causes them to lose against the Heroes.

This issue can be countered by pairing the new troop with Headhunters, who deal saviour damage to Heroes, or helping them with Poison or other useful Spells when they engage in combat with the same.
