Yes! I just created new thread to an existing... thus part deux.
Original discussion -
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ons-or-Archers
I was convinced that archers are better due to cost, production time and general abuse of the most popular troop. However, after discussing with my friends and taking into consideration all
pro et contra like dark elixir availability, second DE barrack, air vs ground offence etc, I've decided to just do a "dummy" test battle or two, to see how these two are stacking against each other.
Again, this is just a simple and non scientific approach - full camps, same battle map and the same attack strategy. As simple as that! The reason these two are compared is because Archers are the most popular and Minions are the most accessible DE troops. Therefore I am comparing level 5 archers to level 4 Minions.
This test turned into something bigger than a two raid comparison, but I am glad I did it and now am convinced that Minions are in fact better than Archers. I am also convinced that air attacks are at this point better than ground, so in a way this isn't just about Archers vs. Minions but overall air vs ground troops. Do I need to mention Teslas vs Pekka's and dragons now having splash damage?
Anyway, check out video below and share your opinion.
