Loons, hogs, golem, witch
If you use laloon and your hounds and loons are maxed for th9 then do queen IMO. Or golems
Heroes.
If you're not a ground attacker, don't bother using de on ground troops. Keep upgrading your heroes. You have 25 more levels to get on your queen. That's 2,252,500 dark elixir and 152.5 days of upgrade time. There's also a king you need to get 20 more levels on. That's 2,100,000 dark elixir and 135 days of upgrade time. So with over 4.3 million dark elixir to get on upgrades that are valuable, why waste de on researches you don't plan on using?
You're kidding, right? Balloons upgrades use elixir, not dark elixir...
ANYWAY, always make sure you have one hero upgrading at all times since there are so many levels to them. Setting them aside, upgrade DE troops in the following order:
Witches: Useful in gowiwi, gowiwipe etc. There is only one upgrade to max them, so get it out of your way.
Golems: Very useful for gowiwi and gowipe. They are the cornerstone of high lvl attacks. Get them to level 4 ASAP
Hogs: Hogs have become nerfed and therefore less important. There is a lot of controversy concerning the usefulness of hogs, but ultimately, taking in account the (triggering) delay of double giant, hogs will be instantly wiped.
Valks: Valkeries can be viewed as "mini pekkas". They have a lot of HP and can be useful in certain attacks such as gowiva due to their (splash) damage output. But since they are vulnerable to traps (ie. spring traps), they've become very difficult to use.
EDIT:
Although it may be true that you are an air-attacker, it is best not to forget to upgrade your other troops. This game constantly changes; for instance, as mention earlier, hogs were nerfed and now not used as often. Another example of this is the attack strategy: balloonian. By itself, it's a very strong attack; but after the addition of the lava hound troop, this attack has now become more useful and versatile. People who normally ONLY used ground troops have now switched to air strategies due to their effectiveness. You do NOT know what will come with future updates, so do NOT neglect upgrading other troops.
And to reply to Peldin's post. Peldin is right, you will need to collect a lot of DE for your heroes, but there is a lot of time between upgrades. By this I mean that as you upgrade your heroes from lvl 15 and up, upgrade times will be 7 days. You will have extra time to upgrade heroes, AND then collect for DE troops upgrades along with DE for your next hero upgrade.
It is useful to mix golems and sometimes hogs into a lavaloon attack too, so these upgrades are always going to be useful.
minions are often underrated as well
Lava hounds and heroes.
