Upgrade archers or giants first?

I did giants first, the increased HP and DPS is a huge boost :)
I just started barbs, and will start building the 4th elixir storage this week :P

Awesome, thanks for the help everyone! :)

Archer better .. Giants less important than archers

first giants, their health increase is very nice ;) after that the archers!

Giants are clearly the superior choice. You get the biggest bang for your buck, so to speak. Also, if your a farmer and you are in a high level farming clan, they will only want giants donated to them because archers aren't anywhere near as good as giants in the CC when farming at high levels. Unless of course for some reason that player just doesn't use giants in there army camps, which is usually because they take a little longer to build vs barbs. =p

Your clan mates would choice archers but giants just look badass @ lvl6. ;)

Say what now? I have not experienced this in any high level farming clan.

archer fasho

Full disclaimer, and I know many a hardcore farmer will shoot me for this:
I gemmed the L6 Princesses the minute I reached TH9 - they were just soooo pretty...
...and if I had to make that decision all over again for baby Pommie, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
But only because they really are very pretty... :rolleyes:

Now, that that's out in the open,
I do find that their paltry increase in stats are, IMHO, not worth the 7.5 million elix + 2 week upgrade time it takes to get them.

The barbs / the sumos are definitely a better bang for your buck.

Any near maxed TH9 base doesn't need CC to "help" defend when farming. Much like myself. My CC doesn't ever get activated on defense. So I have no real reason for archers in my CC because archers are not as good as giants on the offense. Well, with a 220 army it definitely nicer to have 5-6 extra giants instead of 25-30 archers imo. Most people in my clan that are farmers see it the same way. Most don't care what they get though. PLUS, with giants you only need 1-2 active players to fill your CC as opposed to 5-6 players. To each their own I guess.
