Neglecting your BK while DE is in its infancy is a fatal mistake. DE is going to become more common and widely used. And when you start to get attacked by a 10+ lvl BK you'll start to realize you wasted valuable time you can't get back. As a note I'll be upgrading my BK to lvl 9 by the end of the week.

Since lvl 10 is the max lvl for BK at TH8 I'll then spend my DE on upgrading the valk to lvl 2. Should end up with a fully maxed TH8, all maxed elixir troops and spells and a lvl 2 Valk in the next 30 days. Except for walls :/ I think I'll only manage about 100 skull walls. But that will be enough.

The Minion is cheaper from the start , if that was what you were refering to:confused:

That's good to know, I'll up him when i have enough DE.

JunLiang,

I meant useless like having both the Barb King and Archer Queen at level 1 up to level 5. It doesn't seem good to me to buy a level 1 Barb King for 10k DE lets say, then spend 40k DE on the level 1 Queen. They get taken down pretty quick at that low of a level, depending on how your opponents base is set up, and how you attack obviously.

Currently my Barb King is only a level 5 right now. As for me, i figured to upgrade my king til i hit the 40k DE cost, then instead of upgrading him again, buy the Queen since she costs 40k DE. I imagine the Queens costs are much more when it comes to upgrading.

LOL! They are not completely useless! Sound better!:)

My bad for making that statement. I would say either one of them depending on the Cost of DE per upgrade regardless of the time. Lol. I lose I lose :p

Minions.. leading with 24 votes, and majority of the votes at 53.33%..

Certainly not THAT surprising, but wow, so much supporters..

Those interested can check out Minion's HTK here: http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Defence_HTK

minions all the way, they are nice add on to farming.

With so much gold now needed& with two DE barracks, it pretty easy to pump out armies fast. Both my drills are maxed out at level 6, so they pump out 4800 DE a day.

IMHO, running with some minions in your raids has value to keep your camps full when you really need farm for other resources. As long as I am keeping all my 5 builders busy, life is good. I will hit the AQ & BK now & then for upgrades.

I mean when the minion is 10K to upgrade and the BK is 17 I'll upgrade the minion, then the minion will be 20K and the BK will be 17 so I'll upgrade the BK.

Mine is currently Lv7, Lv8 by next week i think.
but yeah, I can really see the tank-ness increased haha.

I hate attackers where they clear off all your point defense towers, then send in the archer queen at the back to snipe at my storages.. and my mortars are the only one that is able to reach her lol. but seriously good strategy haha.

DE wise, just gonna maxed out my bk at th8, since I will most probably have enough time to max him out before AQ is available to me at th9..

Niceeee !
2 Lv6 Drills.. I cant wait for that day man ! Free 4800 DE per day.. so shiok ! :D

But what I am more concern is the "increment" in stats for minion.

Doesn't look that promising, but i guess that the common "underestimate" when looking at stats haha.
Its like Lv5 archer vs Lv6 archer.. slight, but you can feel the difference.
