Is Archer Queen worth the initial cost of 40,000 Dark Elixir? 
While initial cost of Archer Queen is four times more expensive than Barbarian King. She is worth every drop of Dark Elixir you spent to recruit her. She has ranged attack which offsets her low hit point compared to Barbarian King.

Attack Tactics for Archer Queen
1) Damage Dealer/Sniper support
Deploy Archer Queen after your main troops. Use other troops such as Giants to receive damage while she deals lots of damage. Notes that she has longer range than your other troops so she is easily to walk and attack unusual target, or stop to attack far building behind the Wall. To avoid this, you can try to deploy troops to destroy buildings in linear plane, so that Archer Queen will continue to focus and attack directly to the middle of the base.

2) Spare Reinforcement, Building pick-off
To ensure of zero received damage to be able to use Archer Queen in every battle, you need to wait and deploy her only if you are certain that there is no defense building in that area to attack her.

Sometime, after the dust settle, Storage is exposed out of defense building range. Just deploy her to pick off that Storage or leftover buildings.

Defense Tactics for Archer Queen
1) Duo with Clan Castle
Place Archer Queen deep in the middle of the base next to Clan Castle. This prevent attacker to easily lure her out of the base. She is good on taking down incoming Giants and other troops by shooting over Walls without chance to be retaliated.

2) Sleep Zzzz
If you are a farmer and stay at low trophy range, you may prefer to use her on attack only. So it’s better to always have her on sleep mode which allows you to use her any time you login.
