Level 6 Balloon or Level 6 Giant

Giants lv6 - Big buff , Fast to train , very useful for DE farming. It is also good for gold farming.

Balloons lv6 - Big buff , slow training time , useful for DE farming.

Giant + BAG + wbs - 23-25 mins to train , good for both storage and collector bases , don't have to use your full army
every time , no DE loss.

Balloonion - at least 32 mins to train (16 loons) sometimes even longer (40 or 48) , sometimes when you raid some bases without DE you will lost some DE (400+)

Giants is better in my opinion. :cool:

lv6 archer.......... there's no point in upgrading either considering both troop combination is still not enough
lv 6 balloon with lv 3 minion is quite hard to get by th9
lv 6 giant without lv 6 barb and arch is the same..... so go for archer......

If you already use barbs and archers then upgrade those first.

I went with giants first because I'm farming mostly in gold league and as new th9, my focus is on elix/gold with a little DE sprinkled in. As I progress into th9, I'll slowing focus more on DE and will then get balloons 6.

My upgrade plan: giants 6, min 4, barb 6, archer 6, min 5, balloon 6, hog 5...

You're high if you think the jump from L5 to L6 giants used in a Barch/BAM combination doesn't make the L5 blondes and archers incredibly more effective against TH8's and new Th9's

I would go with L6 Balloons as they are absolutely amazing!

Personally, I did my archer to lvl 6 first. However, once I upgraded my loons to lvl 6, it was all over ;) I now am I full time loon user and will not use another strategy. I also have Giant lvl 6 and do not find them as useful as lvl 6 loons. I upgraded my giants before loons and I only ever used them to lure cc troops. In my opinion I would upgrade loons to lvl 6 and while those are upgrading, farm some DE so you can upgrade your minions.
