If you're serious about 25/25 heroes by all means make the jump. IMO that is not rushed at all.
However I'm a TH9 with 100+ lavas and I almost exclusively farm for DE and my heroes are not yet 25/25. I think you might be underestimating the ease of getting heroes this high. Your lab will be idle for months and you will be doing nothing but having a hero down and upgrading a 3mil wall here and there.
So you just happened to list all the upgrades I don't have yet, shown in the OP, coincidentally?Quote:

Once I get my Hero's to about lvl 25 each, and finish maxing out my defenses, is it alright to rush to TH10 even though probably 50-70% of my walls won't be lvl 10 yet?
I don't really care much about getting to TH10 as I do about having somewhat of a fair fight against the TH10's we're facing. Would mildly rushing to th10 be beneficial in anyway, or would I just end up regretting it?
I plan on going a 9.5 route but we'll see, I hear it is difficult to save loot at TH10 without those sexy inferno towers.
I know a couple of friends who went to 10 with 25/25 heroes since the update and neither has regretted it one bit. One had full Lava walls, the other had about 150 Lava wall. Both were maxed on traps, defenses and lab.
honestly, heroes don't matter much.
In fact, if you rush earlier with lower heroes it benefits you. That way you can use DE and elixir to upgrade all 3 at once.
Like I said I was replying to someone else, the person I replied to referenced your base, you're base was incidental, you need thicker skin, :smirk:Quote:

I was TH9 in december, skipped TH10 and am now a TH11 with a level6 warden and the war weight of a TH9 max. Its great and enables warring with both the king and queen down for upgrades. Very efficient way to max those heroes without sitting out on wars.
Personally
I think 20/20 heroes is enough to go to next TH - you stand a better chance of protecting DE loot better (obviously the trade off is the capping) when you have infernos - I know it wouldn't stop hardcore attackers but the vast majority freemium players will just skip your base if the two towers are between the DE storage.
I have a secondary TH9 account and it is being pecked very hard for the Dark stuff, so much so I can't really maintain it effectively, so I am focussing on the TH10 one for now and my TH7 account.
My th10 account was rushed to a degree; bypassed walls and heroes. I am playing catchup right now. All defenses maxed, but I have walls and heroes to do. All troops and spells are done except gobs, lightning, eq, and haste.
I wish I didn't rush just to get the nice lvl4 dragons lol. I don't think I would rush again, evident by me maxing out a th9 completely before going to th10. I won't go to th11 without maxing out my th10.
IMO, when you get all your defense upgrades to max, proceed to TH10. Dont mind walls or hero levels too much.
Even fully maxed th9 with excellent base design gets cored easily with GiBArch nowdays while TH10s are practically immune to them with the right design and some upgrades...
You might be vulnerable to GoXXX, LavaXXX army comps and gets to feel how powerful the new hero is but you will lose less as a TH10 than a TH9
The huge increase in max army camp space and extra drill helps...
No mattered how maxed you are before the TH upgrade, you will feel a tinge or more of regret after doing it. Its always harder for new THs since you will go from the top of your previous TH to the lower of your new TH lvl. Maxing before the upgrade is only to ease this transitional pain..
Some maxers even thought if it had been better if they stayed permanently and not upgrade at all...
