Hero upgrading

Hey guys early thanks for your input.

First a few details. I have been upgrading my AQ since I reached TH9 nonstop and shes currently going to 12. My BK is still at level 10 however. Currently my priority is farming elixer/gold for walls but I will hit a good de base if it presents itself >1000 non core/multilayer walls (BAM). As the AQ costs get higher I will slightly shift my DE farming to match her cost.

First my main goal is to get her to 15. What should I do afterwards? I see many ppl keep saying to switch between heroes every 5 levels. So once I get her to 15 should I get the BK to 15? Or should I continue upgrading my AQ to a certain level because with her at a high level getting the BK upgraded will be alot easier as I can hit core DE bases?

For long term purposes I would recommend just keeping your queen going as long as you can. I'd say to the level that you want her before you would go to th10, whether thats 15 or 20+ is your preference but once you get her to that point start working on the BK.

The queen is your best asset, in my opinion, when it comes to every aspect of raiding. Whether that is wars or DE farming. With that being said, the higher your AQ the fast you'll farm your DE and the better your war attacks will be!

Hope this helps!

I came to Th9 with BK at 10.
I brought my AQ to 10 and then my king to 15
Now my queen is 13 and going straiight through to 20
before I go back to my king

If you have a level 10 king I would get the queen to 20 and then upgrade the king again.

I do my heroes by 5s strictly to mitigate high DE costs. BK and AQ levels 10-15 cost a total of 600,000 DE but going AQ from 10-20 costs 775,000 DE, a difference of 175,000 that can go towards your lab. I keep my lab going constantly and need to split DE for it, and keeping hero costs as low as can be really helps with that. Once the lab upgrades run out then all that DE goes towards heroes, which by that time cost over 80K a pop. Plus you get both their ability boosts, which is nice.

Most of the people in my clan have their BK 5-15 levels higher than their AQ. They do this because your queen is more important in de farming (sniping de storage) that the king is. But when when you have to upgrade your queen and can't attack with her, you have a lv25 king to make up for the absence of the AQ

I'm going into TH9 too, so I think I'm going to do Queen non-stop, so I don't have to worry about her. I'm not really structured as to what upgrades I do first, but I want to get the Queen out of the way, so I can use her more. By the way, what is the max for the heroes at TH9, and what army comp should I use for DE farming at TH9? I really hope there will be an update that will allow us to use heroes whilst upgrading, because upgrading heroes is a huge chunk of both TH9 and TH10.

Make lvl 20 heroes a priority, not 15. Level 20 isn't hard to get and only one upgrade hits the 100K mark, and that's the L20 queen. Try to get your DE upgrades done as early as possible to make ur hero farming later much easier. Level 20 is when heroes actually start to make a difference IMO, so get those ASAP.

Max heros at TH9 is 30

My DE farming comp is 10 giants, 10 wb, 10 minions balance barbs and arch.
I use almost no spells
Boost barracks for 2 hours and net 15,000 dark
I also do the most expensive dark lab upgrades first.
That way when my heros cost 80,000+ dark, I'll be upgrading minions instead of witches

thanks everybody i guess ill be going queen all the way to 20 first then! I'll upgrade my king at the same time if I have more time to play and get more DE but the queen will be my priority

i have level 30 queen and level 27 king at th9. from my experience its better to do the king to make farming for the queen easier, now if you do gem the levels ill say do the queen non stop but its best to do her to 10 or 15 then just keep doing king to 25 so when you do her to 30 its easy
