What should I get for the first upgrading in my lab?

Hey, I'm a new th9(got it yesterday) and I'm just wondering what I should get first in my lab; which is upgrading. I also maxed out th8, including valks....

I always upgrade wiz or archers first. Followed by the other.

Assuming you are max TH8 research.

Do you war? If so, max balloons.

If not, lvl 6 archers.

100000000% Balloons .

TH8 barch is good enough for farming, Max your hog if you use it, but max loons is by far the MOST useful troop at TH9.

For farming get the troop you use most. Giants get the biggest upgrade I went archers though.

For war figure out what type of attacker you are...typically loons or hogs are your first upgrade at th9. If you're dead set on gowipe or gowiwi I guess golems first makes sense.

Level 6 loons and giants give you by far the biggest bang for the buck. They are both huge upgrades. Everything else is just incremental updates and not as important IMO.

I did loons then hogs then giants I think.

balloons and hogs for war. then barch

No, golems first still doesn't make sense because you just blew 40k DE on your AQ and should be using your DE on her to get your gowipe more powerful.

Barbs
Minions
loons
archers
golems
witches
hounds
hogs
giants
valks

In that order.

The upgrade to level 6 barbs is amazing.

And I'm assuming you farm with something involving barbs: barch, bam, etc.

They are also great for CC kills in war.

I regret not doing my barbs first.
