Upgrade Giants, Minions, or Hogs

[xspitfire]

Hey.
I have enough elixer to upgrade something in my lv 6 lab and my lv 2 dark elixer storage is full.
(2,250,000 elixer) (20,000 dark elixer)
I either want to upgrade my giants (to lv 5), minions (to lv 3) or hogs (to lv 2). I have no free builders available now so I have to use it on something. I dont really use hogs that much except to donate to my clan. I do use minions alot in war. I use maybe 1 giant everyraid to lure out troops. Im leaning towards minions but idk. Opinions?

Go minions... Mine are upgrading to four and I use them a lot

If you use minions def upgrade them. But hogs at higher levels are beast and very effective vs th8s and 9s if used properly.

Unless giant bombs get them

Hogs....

^ best war troop (holo/goho anyone?)
and add 4-6 of em in barch, and u can hit storages (plus quicker army build time, and easy to recover used DE)

(this is as a th9, if ur a th10, prolly minions just so u can get on that lavaloonian time.)

Well Im going to do minions.
I cant upgrade my storages now and my drills would get jammed

Few things in life make you feel as bad as a botched war attack using hogs. I am upping mine to try the holowiwi stuff but I will toy with that in raids no war attacks. Giants get de for us they are important.

Here's an easy way to decide what to upgrade. Upgrade whatever you use most. If you use them all equally upgrade what you think you'll be using in the future.

I upgraded minions first. BAM works well at lower levels but not in C2 where I am now. I use my hogs when not barching. There is enough DE in crystal where it is easy to make the hogs pay for themselves. Giants are good if they are paired with wizards to provide fire power.

When I am trying to accumulate DE I tend to barch and maybe use a few giants. When I am trying to accumulate elixer I barch or use 80 barbs+80 archers+12 hogs. The elixir cost is very low and it easy to make a profit on elixer.

I have not used minions as much as I thought I would which is disappointing but soon I my balloon6 upgrade completes and I will try some balloonion attacks to get my 1000 gems in masters. It should be easy.

In short, giants are always safe to upgrade. I upgrade hogs over minions at higher levels and minions over hogs at lower levels.
