if your clan is very active and donates lv.5+ troops then CC first
xbows add +100 dps, they're just useful for defense
cc:
5 archers add +100 dps,
1 wiz+1 archer add +190 dps
2 minions+1 archers add +120dps
useful for both defense and offense

imo i did the math and cc is always the first thing i upgrade,having 5 more troops means they your base is 5.3 % better at defending and also about 4.3 on attacking but bows help id say cc are a must to upgrade
I just hit TH9 two weeks ago. My first priority whenever I hit a new TH is to immediately purchase all newly available items, so that I can properly redesign my base just once (instead of several times over the first few weeks). The most attractive thing for me about TH9 is/was the additional 20 troops, fourth spell, and AQ. I maxed out my TH8 completely, and arrived at TH9 with absolutely full storages (purple, gold, and dark); I was broke within hours. ;)
I generally follow this too, and the CC is always a priority in my new TH life, but X-bows along with the AQ are primary reasons to get to TH9 IME, and IMO..Quote:

Bottom line is X-bows will help you keep the loot to get your CC IMO..so they get my vote in this instance
Just hit TH9 a day and a half ago with maxed storages, and I went with the 2 x bows, although i did consider doing the CC. I figured that since the x bows require a big investment of time/money it'd be better to start working on them ASAP, as opposed to the CC which is just one upgrade and you're done. Personally I'm going to do the CC after I get both bows to level 2.
Here's what I did at TH9....
2 XBows
1 Archer Queen (instant-build Level 1 and then upgraded right away to level 2)
1 Lab (Research order - Barbs (6 Million), Archers (7.5 Million), Balloons (6 Million)
1 New Defenses
Once Archer Queen finished the builder when onto my Spell Factory.
Once XBows finished I focused on Camps and Clan Castle. I also made sure to use a builder to get an Elixir Storage upgraded to max quickly so I could research Level 6 Archers in my Lab. Just starting my Balloon upgrade now.
And now that my new defenses are caught up, I'm focusing on my Drills to feed that DE for my Heroes. That's where I am right now.
I also slipped in a level 7 Wizard Tower and a level 7 Mortar in there because I didn't have enough Elixir for a Camp or something and had a builder free.
Man do most of you guys rely on mines or something? Not trying to be condescending at all I'm just blown away by how many are saying defense first over offense. Especially army camps and lab being first.
For active raiders offense should always be the priority and I'm my experience is drastically more important than defense stuff.
I built my x bows and am upgrading my lab and army camps, don't see how that is saying "defense before offense".Quote:

X bows definitely, unless you reeeeeeeally want to store that golem...
