level 6 archers = a waste of money?

Change your attack strategy to balloons and minions, trust me lv6 balloons are just awsome.

personally i love the level 6 archers, even if the increase isn't much it can make all the difference in battle

There is no point in asking for the worth of level 6 archers. You've got to upgrade them regardless. Unless you are debating your order of upgrades, whether to do them first, second or even last. I'd advise you to do them when you have the 8 mil capacity ASAP, because they will not only benefit you, but it will also help out your clan mates when you donate them. FYI, Archers are not meant to take hits, you've got to put either barbs, giants, or even golems in front of them to tank.

I personally think that they are totally worth it 👍

ud appreciate any little dps that those puny archers will give her when you're in a tight situation.

hey guys,

I'm a new townhall 9 and i finally got my lab upgraded so i can get those sweet, epic, super B.A. lvl 6 troops!

however, the archer is beyond confusing to me. It's 7 mil. elixir, gains 2 damage per shot, and 4 life. Takes 14 days to research. Archers already get 1-shot by all the mortars, wiz towers, teslas, cannons, archer towers, that a Townhall 8 would have. Going to level 6, literally NONE of those defenses needs 2 shots to kill her.

What is the point then?

Are you having fun reviving an old thread?

One archer doesn't see much of a change. But if you bring 100 to battle you would bring 200 more damage per second and has 400 more hp.

Lets say an archer averages 1 min in battle (60 seconds) and you do 250 attacks in a season (100 archers each battle).

That's 3.000.000, yeah that's right, more damage.

But hey, clearly not worth it.

yeah I get that, but you can have lvl 6 mortars at TH8, which anyone with a brain will have. but you're right, lvl 5 mortars will 1-shot my archers now, but not lvl 6 archers.

here's some clarification i suppose: I will eventually get all the research maxed. But in the early stages of TH9, everything is super elixir heavy: army camps, DE drills, laboratory, spell factory, and of course, research.

So I'm just wondering if i'm better off starting with giants, balloons, barbs, or something? Save the archers for the tail end? Or do you guys still recommend getting them early on?

That is what I have done. Giants 6 was first, then hogs 5 , and I have also done loons 6, pekka 3 (could have happened at TH8, and probably should have). Helares currently going to 4, golems will start their upgrtade tonight when healers finish.

I'll do archers and barbs eventually, but I see no rush. Several more DE troop upgrades to be done first.

It isn't the 6 million upgrade cost fior the arch that boters me, but more the fact that the training cost increases by 33% (300 for lvl 5, 400 for lvl 6)for a 10% increase in HP/DPS.

Personally I would do Giants first, but archers and barbs are very helpful at level 6, and although the boost isn't massive it's definitely noticeable

Just leave them as one of the last things to upgrade. I did that and only have barbs and healers left to upgrade with elixer. I'm glad I chose to save the elixir and use it on level 4 dragons. It is really helping my clan in clanwar for their castles
