[HIMB] What to upgrade?

Hey there! The following list is just from my perspective and experience. Hope it helps you out.

Buildings/defenses you should upgrade first.

  • 1)Mortars The reason you want to upgrade your mortars first is because they do a mass amount of damage to all tier 1 troops and most tier 2 troops, so they can just end a raid if they're put in the right place.(Put them in a triangle)

  • 2)Wizard Towers The same reason as the mortars except they also target air units, they should also be put in a triangle so that they cover every sector of your base. Mortars and Wizard Towers go well together because: The mortar has a long range but takes long to shoot again however the wizard tower has a short range but shoots considerably fast.

  • 3) Air Defenses The air defense is the only unit that will do mass damage to air units(With the exception of the wizard tower)Air Defenses are also best when in a triangle. They should be deep in your base so they can't be taken out by some archers.

  • 4)Clan Castle Your clan castle may well be your highest DPS building, Upgrading it means you can store more troops and therefore defend and attack better.They should be in the core of your base.

  • 5)Archer Tower The archer tower comes at 5th spot because it can attack both air and land troops and it has a long range, you also get a lot of them so a higher level archer tower means more protection against land and air. They should be in your first line of defense.

  • 6)Hidden Tesla The hidden tesla is at 7th place because it has a short range, shorter than the archer tower so thats why it isn't at 5th place. Hidden teslas attack very quickly and are very strong when at level 6 or 7 and they do double damage to P.E.K.K.AS. Make sure to put them by the town hall or storages for maximum protection.

  • 7)Heroes Heroes are one of your most important defenses, however I put them 8th because they are very expensive and by the time you've maxed out your heroes you could have maxed out every other defense.If you notice, pro players have to take out the heroes first, because otherwise they could just spoil the raid for them. You should prioritize your Archer Queen over your Barbarian King as she can attack air units, has a long range and does more damage. They should be in the core of your base to stop them being lured out.

  • 8)Cannon Cannons go 3rd to last because they only target ground troops, therefore they will do nothing to balloonions or all - dragon raids, they should be in your first line of defense.

  • 9)Walls Walls go 2nd to last because if you have level 9 walls and a level 1 cannon, what are you protecting? However sometimes I upgrade my walls to level 5 or 6 and carry on with my defenses.

  • 10)Traps Well, there's really no explanation to this, is there......

Note: Archer Towers and Hidden Teslas are interchangeable Wizard Towers and Mortars are interchangeable

Troops you should upgrade first..

  • 1)Farming units These are the units I use the most of during my time getting the resources needed. Here is my order for upgrades archers/barbs/minions/wall breakers/balloons/goblins/giants. I would upgrade all of these before any below.

  • 2) Trophy Hunting/War Troops Dragons/Pekkas(th8+)/Wizards/Hogs/Golems(th8+)/Valks(th8+).

Note: I personally prioritize on upgrading my heroes when it come to DE upgrades, and while he heroes are upgrading i farm the DE needed for the dark troops i want to farm.

Cheers!
