level 2 xbows or level 7 wizard tower?

So I won't have a builder available for 3 more days so I figured I would shoot for something that costs a lot because I have a lot of time to get that gold. Level 2 xbows and level wizard towers cost about the same (5mil for bows, 5360000 I think for WT) so I want to get one of those. What should I shoot for?

Definitely wiz tower. Its splash damage and can one shot level 7 archers so your protected against that. Second, xbows in my opinion arent even that good. They're overrated and everyone they're so good but they really don't do a lot. I maxxed myy xbows early in th 9 and it was definitely not worth it. They're terrible at levels 1 and 2 and ok at level 3. But definitely wiz tower over xbow.

OK thank you. I was leaning towards wiz towers and so I think I will for sure now

Xbows over Wiz towers. Always the xBows. At level1, they are like pea shooters. Get them to level 2 and beyond, and you get a powerful weapon.
Also, you have only two xbwos, and you have four WTs, it is better to max them all in a small period of time. With Xbows, since you should do only one at a time, that time period is pretty high. WTs can be famred and built two at a time, so you will have all four in two- two and half weeks.
Always the xBows.

I did wiz towers and then xbows. but flipping a coin isn't a bad option.

Your choice.
Xbows are more crowd control, same as wizard towers. Wizard towers do splash and deal a lot. However, this is only at short range. Xbows have a big range which helps a lot, and many balloonion users are scared of pointy uppy xbows. Get them to Level 3 and they are unstoppable. Wizard towers destroy barchers, and trust me, there are a lot of those. Motars seem a good choice also, as they have long range, big splash and a lot of damage. The only downside to wizard towers is their range, but once a group of troops get close, get ready to wave bye bye! Xbows dont take down barch that well until high level, but even then wizard towers do better. Xbows can also shoot air troops, dealing that Extra damage needed.
sorry if my english is bad, got a headache :p

I maxed xbow first, mostly because i couldnt care less about defend. I just want to get rid of its upgrade asap coz its the longest and most expensive upgrade. I agree xbow isnt all that great, but couple with full lego make my base look more intimidating.

My th9 upgrade plan is to do xbow>wizard tower>tesla>air def>archer tower>mortar/cannon.

For times of farming, I would recommend Wizard towers and Mortars, because the splash damage, like what other players mentioned, are very useful for taking out BARCH. And given how purple WTs can one-hit Lvl 6 archers, it's quite a powerful asset during a potential defense.

X-bows serve as your long range sniper, and I would say, is more important during Clan Wars, where once they lock on to the enemy heroes, they can take them down quite quickly - and even faster at Lvl 3. Their high amount of hit-points may also make a difference in certain situations.

My own priority of upgrade: Teslas to Lvl 7 -> all 4 Wizard Towers to Lvl 7 -> all 4 Mortars to Lvl 7 -> Now doing X-bows to Lvl 2. Plan is to continue upgrading to Lvl 3 X-bows immediately upon reaching Lvl 2.

To each his own man...

L1 xbow- nothing special(cannons and arch tows still are better)
L2 xbow- reasonable, but still nothing too important(cannons and arch tows still are better)
L3 xbow- makes all th9 attackers to think at least twice

L6 wizard tower- useful, but barch is two shot kill
L7 wizard tower- huge power boost one shot kill L1-L6 archers, most goblins(good for farm bases)
I'd go for wiz tow, because its more help with all tier 1 and tier two troops

Thanks for saying what works better for CW or farming. Now I'm thinking of upgrading xbow first because I'm trying to become a CW powerhouse for my clan, and I get attacked by such small amount of barchers that I don't need to worry about that too much. Geez maybe I should flip a coin.
