Queen or King upgrade priority?

Hi,

Not sure whether there is a thread somewhere already regarding this, but I haven't had any luck searching for it. Links are appreciated!

I'm a level 101 th9 looking to focus on my heroes for a bit. I have a lv10 BK and a lv6 AQ so I have work to do, but wondering if I should focus specifically on one hero in particular? My plan is to first get them both to lv10, however past that point I'm uncertain whether to focus on one, or offset the upgrades between them.

I've been raided a few times by players with a lv10 king and lv30 queen. I understand the queen has the advantage of range, but the king's rage ability has made him much more useful since the update. The queens ability could be handy if you want to divert attention away from her onto say a golem or pack of giants, but besides that and taking out that one extra building you want I can't see her ability out-performing the King's. If there are any players out there who have levelled their heroes substantially and can give their perspective that would be great.

Thanks!

Get hem both to level 10 and after that I would do your barb king twice then your archer queen and then what ever you feel you use the most upgrade that

Priority is up to you: whatever u prefer. Ranged attacks or close combat. But what u need to understand is that no matter who u choose, both of ur heroes must be upgraded to 30 lvl at th 9
take a 3 day gap between them (upgrade time) so they don't stop "sleeping" until they get to the point (30)

Thanks, is the only reason to wait for heroes to be lv30 so that you can prey on weak th8's for the DE? Typically what kind of base do you aim for and what load out do you prefer? Not sure if I can wait for all level 9 walls and lv30+ heroes, th10 might become too appealing

There is something you need to consider. The higher your hero upgrade the more expensive it is. meaning while you are collecting DE for the one high level hero you are actually offering large amount of DE loot to attackers. DE farmers usually use heavy armies so you are not only losing DE but also other resources. That's why for me I try to upgrade both heroes together cuz their upgrade cost is close, meaning I try to get rid of the DE I collected ASAP.

Now both of my heroes are lv20. So when one is down I have another mid level strong hero that can still help alot in a raid

The reason is quite simple: de farming is better when u're at th9, then at th10 (including th8 farm of course)
i prefer de only at this moment of time (constantly upgrading aq and bk now)
i don't aim at 2000+de loot only
1000+ is enough for me
12 giants, 12 wb's, +barch (all the rest)
no dark troops, +healing spells and sometimes rage (using spells is not crucial)

Thanks for letting me know your composition! I use bam with about 150 DE worth of minions and aim for 1-1.5k in DE with an off centred storage.

Besides the cost of raiding and the loot penalty for th8 there shouldn't be any difference in raiding technically between town hall 9 and 10. The new update to the loot system allows th10 to raid just as much from a th9 as a th9 player and vice versa. But I suppose if you're a th10 player you would have a better idea than me :)


Thanks!

Thanks Mavios, I will upgrade them evenly. I was just wondering if there was something I was missing out on strategically, everyone who has successfully raided me this week has only trained their AQ.

Thanks! :)

both have special abilities... What I am planning is as follows:

* Max king at th8 (on it in few days)
* Once at th9, queen to lvl10
* king to lvl 15
* queen to 15
* and so on .. so forth in steps of 5
* in the end max both on th9 (thats lvl 30)
