[TH9] Wizard Towers to L7 or X-bows to L3?

I'm a new TH9 and I was wondering, after doing all the camps (I'm upgrading 2 out of 4 now) and the CC (hooray for cheaper CC upgrade!) what defense should I prioritize upgrading? X-bows or Wizard Towers?

WT L7:
- 1 hits L6 archers, L5 goblins, basically destroys Tier I troops
- Easier to farm for -- just have to upgrade the 4th (new) WT then 1 additional level for each that I have already maxed at TH8
- Looks AWESOME (I kinda wish it had the L6 wizard attack animation though)

X-bows L3:
- Amazing 75 dps -- just below L7 Teslas (but with theoretically twice the range)
- Intimidation factor (love all that black)
- Perhaps better to get it over and done with, being the hardest to farm for (other than walls of course)

What's your vote guys? Personally am leaning towards WT but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I would upgrade the wizard tower.

I upgraded my WT's and Mortars to TH9's max before touching xbows. I had my xbows down at the same time and watched my WT's destroy all of the noobie farming armies that thought it would be easy to raid me without my xbows.

Best decision I could have made as far as upg order goes. There's a big diff. between L2 and L3 xbows for sure, but not worth doing before WT's IMO.

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing as the quote above. By the way, what did u mean by "x-bows down"? You didn't load them with elixir? Pseudo abandoned base?

Any other thoughts guys? My clanmate is doing x-bows all the way before touching his other defenses. I used the 5M on my CC instead. (CCs win clan wars!!!)

He means both his xbows were upgrading at the same time, so they weren't available for attack.

I would upgrade the Wizard Towers first

Haha, no they were full of elix, just upgrading. 14 days for L3 is a long time to wait. I had them both under the hammer within 3-4 days of each other, so there were 10 days where I had no xbow coverage in my base at all.

If you haven't bought them yet, get the level 1 x-bows. These scare off a lot of players. Then, get your wizard towers.

WT is first priority defend

do 2 wizard towers, then a xbow, then 2 more wiz, then the second bow
