Upgrade Archer Queen or Barb King?

I did some maths on the optimal levels to leave your BK and AQ (I'm at work so I can't upload that right now.) I looked at the number of hits to completely clear a MAX TH9 base, and how each level corresponded with the level before. There are some levels where the number of hits only went down by less than 5. (Also did the same with TH10, and got similar results.)
From my maths, the AQ grows pretty evenly at each level but the BK has huge jumps at a few levels. The levels are 7, 12, 16, 21, 27. These are the levels you want to stop your BK at. The AQ optimal levels are 6, 11, 17, 21, 25.
Also, I think your BK should always be at a higher level than your AQ. Reasoning is the longer your BK stays alive, the more damage the AQ can dish out.
So from this maths, I would do:
King to 12, AQ to 11
King to 16, AQ to 17
King to 21, AQ to 21
King to 27, AQ to 25

I'm in same boat in bout a week and will have 10/10 heroes and my plan is to try do upgrade both at same time, de pending of course, will start at 100k for both L11 increasing 10k each upgrade and so on, however this my mean that I go through stages of having no royals upgrading due to high de needed, however I'm quietly confident of being able to get them both to L15 within 5 weeks, then will be nice to finally be able to start using AQ

That made no sense "Everyone else I see always upgrades the AQ because its cheaper?"
Its not cheaper

can you not gravedig a 2014 thread?

I am also a middle TH 9, In my view you should go with AQ first then BK,
I have take strategy like 2 lvl AQ 1 LVL BQ up, that means when my AQ n lvl 13 then i go to update BK, it will follow by me...

The classic questions never die.

AQ if you can, nothing matches her damage and range.

I'd go for AQ , range. But at what point does one stop upgrading AQ to upgrade BK? Is it reaching level 20 then do the BK, or shoot for maxing out AQ first? Thank you
