Progression Thread

I've been really lazy and busy in the past week or so lol.
I've got my heroes up to: BK 10 | AQ 8
The new tesla for TH9 is up to lvl 6, and I've got my first going to lvl 7.
My first dark barracks got to lvl 6 the other day, so I have 2/3 new troops unlocked.
Also just built the new air sweeper the other day; besides xbows that's the last defense I need upgraded.
Both DE drills are lvl 4 now.
Currently upgrading barbs to lvl 6. After this, will go for archers/loons/hounds/hogs
Builders are currently working on:
- tesla going to lvl 7

Yeah, I've been pretty busy/lazy recently...

EDIT: That was the only builder that was busy. I've gotten more busy though: air sweeper going to lvl 2, air defense going to lvl 6. I plan on starting up a DE drill to lvl 5 and saving the last builder for walls (maybe).

Gen, nice upgrade. Suggest you to really keep working on eli buildings for next few weeks and in that time any gold you have just keep dumping them in walls. You can keep a builder free for this or time it in a way that you have free builder every day to use the gold for. I started doing this from TH8 and really helps to get those eli buildings done then later just need eli for lab and walls. Also get those drills to max. Suggest doing 1 at a time but dont stop unless they are maxed. So i would keep 1 builder on the de drill all the time till they are maxed.

Its really a pain in the beginning to get all those Elixir but it will help you massively in the later stage once done.

Nice advice Nameless!

I started following your suggestion and now I only miss 1 DE drill and 1 lvl of DE Storage

Wiz are going lvl 6 in 4 days

Next I plan on upgrading Loons since I'm going to unlock Lava in a few hours.

All my barracks will be done in 5 days so I'm now focusing in farming with low time training troops..

I'll try to practice goblin knife since I'm planning to focus on my royals.

AQ is lvl 11 and BK is upgrading to lvl 11

I'm dumping gold on walls as soon as I have some spare and it's working pretty well

Hi!

I have now maxed my walls in TH9 and have to grind my heroes (BK is on 20/ AQ is going to 23).
Any advice if it is good to just grind heroes and basically wasting gold and elixir?

Thanks!

Well if you have upgraded everything else and you only miss royals and you enjoy TH9 wars i'd say yes.

Mby join a clan where you can donate to dump some elixir..

Anyway I'd say wait till Royals are lvl 30, but someone here just skipped to TH10 with Royal being lvl 20 and did good so far.

So if you feel like you are wasting Elixir and Money upgrade if you are ready to complain about th10 ;)

Good to know Melino the advise is working for you. Glad to know that. Even i had read somewhere and i thought i will give it a try and it really helps getting all eli stuff done. TBH its a pain tho that you have to farm a lot of Eli but its a relief too when its done and then unlocking all the barracks and db is also helpful. I remember once i misplaced the skeleton spell in 1 of the wars. Instead of dropping in the centre trying to kill the x-bow i somehow dropped it outside the base. Guess what. The skellies went round the base and in fact were alive in the end and getting a sweet 3*.

Hence i suggest unlock the final dsf and the db and then enjoy working on rest of the stuff.

I havent really tried gob knife as gobs are 3 and i dont think i am planning to upgrade them until some spells and other farming troops are done. But i really dont have much trouble with DE. Might be worth a shot.

Good progress :)

ahaha

After 3 fails with goblin knife I decided to stick to the old Barch. Since I have the last barrack and dark barrack upgrading my ETA times for cooking troops are way too high.

I can farm anyway with 10 Giants 65 barbs 3 Wb and 100 archers. No spells. I get constantly 250k + Elixir / Money

And I'm slowly grinding DE since I dropped to low Gold League, now that I almost finished Elixir upgrades I'm grinding back to Crystal so I'll farm better DE

Mel even i couldnt get gob knife working but i didnt expect too them being lv 3. But somehow it didnt fun but i guess it might change once i have lv 6 gobs but still kinda 1 month or more away for that.

For DE yes crystal is the best and i take giants, wiz, healer army and only attack on dead with bases over 2k+ resources.

Yes its a pain when your barrack and DB is upg but worth the wait in few days time :).

The goblin knive is quite tricky and I often fail if I mess up with the funneling.
If you are just aiming for the Dark elixir it is working best, if you want to win as well and aim for the town hall it limits the layouts you can attack, since then the storages would be better near the townhall.
I farmed all the gold for my lvl10 walls and fill up my dark elixir storage each week for my queen with this strategy so I like it!
But a giant barch army sounds nice to get more different bases that I can attack!
