A lot of Town Hall 11 players wonder what order should they upgrade their troops in. Knowing the right upgrade order for your troops can help you perform better in wars. You will need well-upgraded troops as a Town Hall 11 to take on your fellow Town Halls. The first thing you should always do after upgrading your Laboratory is getting your farming troops to the next level. Let’s start with that.
Barbarian
You might be thinking Why Barbarian? The reason behind this upgrade is that by upgrading your Barbarian to level 8, you can now boost your Barbarian to Super Barbarian. Super Barbarians are extremely useful farming troops.
They can be used against any base. Super Barbarians can easily break into walls. Unlike Super Goblins, your Super Barbarians won’t make you lose the battle. It’s easier to just spam the enemy base with Super Barbarians and get an easy one-star.

Electro Dragon
If you have already unlocked the Electro Dragon, it’s time to work on them. Electro Dragon holds the highest priority as a troop at Town Hall 11. Electro Dragon can easily annihilate any Town Hall 11 base with proper execution and funneling.
Electro Dragon deals chain damage to nearby defenses. While your Electro Dragons are being upgraded, I would recommend unlocking the Invisibility Spell in the meantime.

The Invisibility Spell is unlocked at Town Hall 11 and if you haven’t unlocked it yet; you can move on to the next upgrade though I will suggest unlocking it as soon as you can. Invisibility Spell can make troops and buildings in its radius disappear for a few seconds.
An invisibility Spell can be used to funnel your troops and protect them when needed. Electro Dragons work pretty well with Invisibilty Spell that’s why it’s the second highest priority upgrade.
