TH9 Next DE upgrade: Golems or BK?

Hey everyone, currently my Archer Queen is upgrading to level 8. I am continuosly upgrading her until level 10. My question is after my Queen is level 10 should I upgrade my Barbarian King from 5 - 10 or do my level 1 golems to level 3? I currently dont use golems due to them being level 1 so I GiWiPe and Loonion in CW. I would use GoWiPe if my golems were level 2 though. We CW once a week. I use my BK in everything but definitely not as much as my queen. So which one? Golems or BK? Thanks so much :)

I do successful gowipes all the time in war with my lvl 1 golems. 1-2 isnt much of an upgrade.

1 to 2 is 500 hp increase. If you want to 3 star more consistently then do your golems as they are your tanks. The sturdier your tanks are, then logically the longer your attacks will last and increase likelihood of getting that 3rd star.

make your BK reach lvl10 :)

I already said golems in clan chat and I will stick by that

Golems, 1 (well, a few but) time upgrade for a permanent buff. Though little, still a buff. While the BK, could've been lv10 in th8.

and, so you can practice GoWiPe more, since you wanted them stronger before using this strategy. So logically, upgrade the golems.

upgrade BK after. The heroes only get better each time their ability ranks up.

So you might use golems in 2 attacks per week, and they cost de to train. How many attacks will you use bk in a week and he's free forever?

GoWiPe also depends tremendously on heroes..
Given both regular and GoWipe raids require heroes, and level 5 is way too low, I suggest you do your king first

BK. It's used all the time. Golems are used much less frequently if at all for farming.

Golem. Lvl 3 golem is 20% better approximately than lvl 1. Lvl 10 BK is approximately 11% better than lvl 5. Enough said, and your clan mate was right.

The 20% golem increase applies to 2 attacks per week (they war once per week). At a minimum I would say they would use bk twice per day, so bk upgrade is at least 3.5 times more valuable (did you include the extra 2 free barbarians and improved iron fist in your 11% increase?).
It's not even a close comparison if you think about it.

6 for BK


Currently by unanimous decision I will do my BK next. If you want to convince me otherwise please reply :)

Another for BK, used much more often than your golems.

BK to lvl 10 first probably, but you should really make golems a priority.

I am hero biased, and my plan is to focus on AQ to a new ability level then catch my BK up. I typically am able to fit in a dark troop upgrade in the middle. So therefore, my suggestion is BK agreeing with what was said previously. You use your golem sparingly, you will use your BK constantly. Upgrade the unit you use most first.
