Upgrade the ones you use to farm last.... Upgrading them will cause you to spend more per battle, so save them for last.

I think archers. Archers are dead useful :) A lot of people have their army camps stocked full with archers.
im going to say archers as i use them the most.
cheers
archers>giants>barbs
you're going to need the new storages to get the 7.5m elixir req'd for the archers though. giants are 6m which is possible with 3 storages but you're gonna have to max your existing storages. the barb is the cheapest at 4.5m but i doubt you use a lot of them to warrant going for them first. i have the archers, they're pretty sick. takes two hits from some older mortars... you're going to have so much other stuff to upgrade and buy for th9 though with that elixir.
Archers only have 10% increase in dps and hp. While barbs have 15% increase in dps and hp.
Giants though have 20%dps and hp increase.
Which troops do you use the most for raiding? If ur army consist mostly of 100 archers, then consider it as an extra 10 archers.. If 100 barbs then the extra 15 barbs..
At least that's my logic.
PS: i'm brewing lv 6 barbs
I may go for giant first :). Archer seem too much cost and building time.
At th 9, you will need to face th 8 with their level 5 mortars. I think the opposite; make your life easier by upgrading the troops you use most.Quote:

Not really, elixir is already hard to come by at th9. This is my farming army:Quote:

The total elixir cost of my army is 60k. Now I don't always use all of it, but that isn't relevant. Lets say I upgrade my archers. My army effectiveness goes up by 5%ish, but my army cost goes up 11k or 18.3%. So my army is only slightly more effective, yet I now farm 11k less per battle. My elixir farming just got harder. Good call.
Personally, I will be doing my level 6 archer upgrade last. If you want to handicap yourself sooner, it is your call.

i can see your logic, people have mentioned before not upgrading rage spells for the same reason because at the end of the day if you're using it on gobs they chew and move quicker than the spell will finish. personally though, since upgrading my archers to lvl 6 the farming with my archers is heaps better. the archers take 2 hits from most village mortars which pretty much sold them for me. each to their own i guess... i tend to change my army and trophy levels depending on what i need. you can pack gobs, archers and barbs only to get your elixir up quickly for cheap if that's what you're chasing.Quote:

Upgrading troops you don't use to farm would effectively be a waste of at least 4.5 mil elix probably more since its not helping you farm at all. Inversely, upgrading troops you do use to farm will allow you to farm harder bases for more resources while also allowing you to farm the same difficulty bases you had been with fewer troops resulting in a higher frequency of farming attacks. Either way your farming abilities and yield has increased.Quote:

Brbs since they're mini tankers ....
Giants you get the best bang for your buck if u use them. Plus they look bad A
I would choose archers, they are the most used troop and it will help your clan mates out, especially when they go on defence.
- Since I use Giant/ Heal combo to farm at TH9, I upgraded giants first
- You don't need 4th storage and you have time to build it (till your giants are ready)
- You can farm a lot better and collect elixir easily for other units once you upgrade giants (or barbs if you use them in bulk)
- As already pointed out, maximum benefit among upgraded troops given to giants (ignoring balloons)
My Choice: Giants6 --> Archers6 --> Barbarians6
quite a no brainer imo.Quote:
