Upgrade Archer Queen or Barb King?

My barb king is level 12 and my archer queen is level 10. Should I upgrade my bard king or archer queen? Barb king's rage is a lot better than archer queen's ability and I'm wondering if that makes it worth upgrading him first.

Thanks in advance.

I would go with the AQ personally. True her ability isn't as good, but many times you can use her in battle to get either the last few % for a star or to pick off some collectors or something for loot without her taking much damage. I've found that I use her much more often for this reason, so I place a priority on her. However, I'd always let my king get caught up on upgrades every 5 levels for the ability upgrade. Example: Take queen to 15, then king to 15, queen to 20, king to 20, etc. Personal preference though.

personal preference imo

I say it all depends on what u use more. I personally like my barb king way more than my archer queen. But she has gotten me out of tight spots with her long range attacks.

I do have to say everytime my BK is upgrading I feel as though my attacking strategy is weaker and not so much the other way around

Both my heros are L10. I plan to take AQ up first because of her range and how amazingly BA she is at 30. Clanmate has crushed bases with 4 healers L30 AQ and some ground troops.

Most Efficient Way to Upgrade Heroes is Upgrade their Abilities.

that means: upgrade
lvl1 until lvl5, then go to other hero
lvl6 until lvl10, then go to other hero
lvl11 until lvl15, ...

so I would suggest upgrade King till lvl15. then upgrade Archer Queen 10->15.

That way you will get the extra barb+higher dmg aura+longer lasting aura+extra barb benefiting from it

IMO this is much better than a 4% increase in AQ dmg and health :)

both can be argued as being important in different ways, but regardless of who you choose to upgrade, I think it's makes sense that:

1) you do not totally ignore one over the other, and
2) you upgrade one hero at a time in groups of 5 levels, so if you do AQ, upgrade her from 10 all the way to 15. Don't upgrade your BK and AQ 10 and 10, 11 and 11, 12 and 12, etc. Do 10-15, 15-15, 20-15, you get the idea.

I think the AQ would be better IMO, because most people lose defenses due to the AQ sniping the TH out of the defenses range

all of them is correct. but i suggest your AQ is need to be upgrade

I made some nice graphs showing how HP/DPS grow with each upgrade level.

I use my aq more simply because you can drop her at the back of a raid, she doesn't get hit and you can use her in the next raid. Bk goes to the front of the battle and always needs to sleep.
I kept aq 5 levels ahead until bk reached 20 and now I am maxing aq to 40.
