[Townhall 9] Upgrading barbarians or archers to level 6 first?

[MysteriousR]

Not sure about barbarians but imo lvl 5 archers is it for me. Lvl 6 archers requires 10 days and 6m to get, takes 100 more elixir to train and gives so little boost to their attack and health. I use goblins + archers to collector raid and it's working well so my barbarians are still lvl 4 and archers are lvl 5 and I don't have any complaints about that and I wouldn't suggest keeping busy your lab with barbarian and archer upgrades when there are more important upgrades to make.

After barbs or archers I was planning to get valks next tho because I use it for farming (yes, I am a fan of valks) but I just want more power in my Gibarch as this is my bread and butter army as a TH9 in farming dark elixir...

I left barbarians and archers right to the end. You are better off doing DE troops while your heroes are still cheap and you can keep both heroes and lab down at the same time.

This will help you farm up lots of DE early on so when your heroes start costing 100K+ per level it will seem like a breeze, it'll probably be at that time that your lab will run out of DE upgrades and you can start up elixir lab upgrades.

That's an excellent idea! I wish I had thought of it.. I decided to do my heroes go L20 before doing my dark troops at all.


BTW both are great! I did barbs first because my queen was constantly upgrading and my king could use the extra level of barbs.

Given a choice between the two, I suggest archers.
DPS increase is slight, but as I normally run more archers than barbs in Barch it all adds up, plus they help more as spawned units with the AQ.
I also think they are generally more likely to be donated/used to fill spaces in war CC & so it's nice to donate highest possible troops for your clanmates👍

..I do agree that there are lots of DE upgrades at TH9...So it's DE troops then...

After giants I did archers. Mostly so I can donate max to my clanmates. I will probably start DE upgrades like recommended earlier in this thread and dump my elixir on walls or upgrading drills.
