what's the point of archer lvl6 ?

I can't see a major advantage of archer level 6 comparing to level 5.

In terms of the HP,

1. Canon can one-shot them both if the level is 9 or above.

2. Archer tower can one-shot them both if the level is 8 or above.

3. A slight difference is on mortar, a level 5 mortar can one-shot lvl 5 archer but can not one-shot lvl 6 archer. But who cares? level 5 mortar can only be spotted on preemie TH8.

The DPS is equally confusing, with only a 2-points increase, comparing to a 4-points increase in the last two upgrades.

The cost of upgrading to level 6 archer is unbelievable ...

they turn purple, what else would you want?

Sounds like its still helpful if youre still farming then, but for the ultimate trophy push...not as much

100 archers with a 2DPS per troop = 200 extra DPS, if thats not enough for you, I'm glad is enough for me.

personally i have minions going to lvl 4 right now in my lab...sitting on almost 8 million elixir and looking at about 3 days until my lab is free; i hope this thread gets a bit more information thrown into it. i'd like to see what's so great about lvl 6 archers i mean yeah eventually i'll do it but why?

Im glad you pointed that out though

I always have upgraded archers first. When I get my level 7 lab, Ill look elsewhere. I wish more people would breakdown the DPS and hitpoints like that. Thanks. I would do it, but Im not going to :p

well, they look great with purple skirts. But as a new TH9, I am looking for something that is the most useful for my farming and clan war. I have giants upgrading at the moment, and am sitting around 6mil elixir. Which troop should be upgraded next?

the biggest advantage is farming against premmie bases with level 5 motars

Balloons! They are the biggest upgrade IMO.

Hit the nail on the head. The difference between 1 hit kill and 2 hit kill is an extra 5 seconds of looting.
