Newish TH9. What to upgrade in lab

I"m a newer TH9, kind of going the 8.5 route, at least until I can get my war troops up a bit.
BK-11,AQ-7

Here is my lab:
Barb-6
Archer/Giant-5
Wall breaker 4
Loons will be level 6 in one day
Wiz 5
Healer 1
Dragon 3
Pekka 3
Minion 2
Hog 4
Valk 1
Golem 2
Witch/Lavahound 1
Heal/rage -5
I know my minions are behind, and I will focus on them, but as a clean up troop, they are not quite as important.

I can also get any troop maxed in my CC, so if I attack with lavaloon, one will be level 3. If I need golems, one will be level 5.

My top 2 choices are probably golem or lavahound. Which would make the biggest difference in war? Or what should I focus on first.

I'd say since you are already going loon, finish your air attack, then start upgrading your gowixx.

For farming though, get those giants upgraded they make coring other th9s a lot easier.

while not a top priority, you should get your wbs up soon too: you will be running into stronger and stronger walls very soon

Upgrade archers first.

hogs, golums, hounds, witches,

upgrade Valkyries. They actually are a fairly reliable troop.

If you are in a war clan the get lavahound -> giants -> golems -> archers -> witches -> spells

having maxed out spells is great because you use them EVERY war regardless. Sometime you need a GoWixx attack so having lavas maxed is usless, sometimes you need a Lavaloon attack so having migs maxed is useless. But you will almost always bring one rage, one heal and one poison, so they might as well be maxed

Archers first, then hogs, then lavahounds, witches, golems.

Thats what I would do at least. Archers to max your barch, hogs because max hogs are useful in so many attacks as a support troop, and you already have them one level away anyway. Witches and lavahounds because they are a one and done troop. And then golems, because if you can get a maxed one in your th you dont need to upgrade your own right away

Focus on hogs, learn to goho! You don't need to focus on golems or hounds as you can req max level in your cc.. Valks or giants are also very good options! gl :thumbsup:

I personally think that upgrading archers is not a great idea. I did mine absolutely last and only reluctantly took them to 7 at some point. The difference is minute (what? 2dps more?) and they cost a full 100 more to train. If you raid with 100, thats 10k more elixir each farming raid. Every single raid. That adds up.
