Is there a big difference in archer level 5 and 6?
sure...lvl 6 really rocks...
dmg. pr sec. 22
hit 44
the first troop to upgrade to lvl 6 if you ask me!!!
Not really, level 6 have an extra 2 damage per second and 4 health, but it depends how you use them. In groups they are far better, plus they can survive a level 5 mortar. Worth the 14 day upgrade? I'm not so sure myself.
There isn't a huge difference between one lvl 5 archer and one lvl 6 archer, but there is definitely a difference between a group of lvl 5 archers and a group of lvl 6 archers.
I think giant upgrade is better, for the hp, archers level 6 gets one-shot killed by a level 5 mortar, level 6 wizard, level 9 cannon, level 7 archer, and 2 hits with a level 2 tesla.
Some people prefer the offense, but I don't buy how the 2 dps increase can help by upgrading the meat shield which has better increases and 1.5m cheaper.
Edit: After reading the comments, I must conclude, it depends on your troop composition, if majority are archers, then upgrade archers. If not, then giants.
Sure in groups they are good...also as defense...lvl 6 archers in clan castle are in groups and is a good defense.
Who would attack with a single archer??? of curse they go in groups!!!
I wouldnt get it right away once you turn TH9 since you do need a 4th elixir storage L11.
After you do Giants/Barbs i would do archer. Its worth it in the long run. People complain about the long research time/amt of elixir needed, but in due time you will have elixir flowing up the wazoo...I got 8 mil in my stores right now and nothing to use it on except DE pump/barrack but those are secondary my defense upgrades.
Well I got level 7 archers and they are pretty good. But their cost is very high. The 7 mil to upgrade them wasn't that bad but they also up the cost from 200 per archer to 300. I use about 80 archers in my army so that adds like 10k each army...Quote:

Making it so those archers aren't your first troop upgrade gives you valuable time to focus on other projects and to get that last elixir store up. The level 6 giants are a really nice upgrade too.
