Should I rush to TH 10? Only my heroes are left to be maxed out.

Need some advice. I'm currently a TH 9 (level 125). I just finished upgrading all my walls to lvl 10 and I also have max troops, spells, defenses, traps... basically everything except for my heroes - BK is lvl 25, AQ is 20.

I'm thinking of rushing to TH 10 since most of my builders are idle and only my heroes are left to be maxed out.

I've read many threads that it's better to max everything before upgrading to higher town hall. But considering the length of time in upgrading heroes (i.e. one week per uprade) and DE cost of upgrading them, it would take me months (since I'm upgrading my heroes one at a time). Plus, I've read some forums that it's a lot better to farm DE at a TH 10 level, hanging around crystal/master league.

Another reason I want to rush is I want to get the new troops which are only available once you get to TH 10 (bowlers and miners are legit troops for war), and be able to further uprade my existing troops.

Also, if ever I upgrade to TH 10, I want to build a TH 9.5 base. I'm not planning to get any inferno tower and another xbow - maybe until both my heroes are lvl 30. I'm planning to get only the new other defenses, traps, walls, etc.

With all this, should I upgrade to th 10?

P.S. Sorry for the lengthy post. To whoever can give me a good advice, I really really appreciate it. Thanks!

I guess you saw this thread? https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...88-Th9-to-Th10

personally I'd do heroes - TH9 is a great farming level as you can easily roll 8s and it sounds like you are ok against 9s, at TH10 it's a different beast.
some really good TH9 war strats also

I'd get both heroes to lvl 25 at a minimum - I had my AQ maxed and BK at 25. No regrets so far.

In regards to doing a 9.5 for clan wars I'd strongly suggest you avoid purchasing the bomber tower at TH9 if you haven't already. We have a few 9.5 accounts in our clan and one lvl 3 bomber tower draws more war weight than four lvl 8 teslas.

You need to rush a little to be a successful .5 account. I'd recommend skipping some of the splash damage if you can.

I went to th10 when they were 25/25, upgraded camps/lab etc and th11 when they hit 35/35 King going to 40 now and queen to 39 this week. TH10 was a stepping stone for me Warden going to 11 also. Main farming and war troops and spells maxed.

Okay. Gotcha. Thanks guys! What's one more month to upgrade my AQ to lvl 25? I have been a TH 9 for about 10 months.

You have a couple of options:

• Stay at TH9 and enjoy war with 30/30 heroes.
• Stay at TH9 and push to Titan, with 30/30 heroes.
• Go to TH10 now and start upgrading camps, cc, troops.

By going to TH10 now, the laboratory and builders will be active (9.5), instead of idle .. that might be desirable ..

As a TH10, you will be offered a lot more TH10s and TH11s in multiplayer .. that does sound scary, but when they are DEAD and ripe for the taking.. it starts making sense. 4040 DE from a dead base is not an uncommon bonus.

Crystal ..

Its simple, if you move to TH10 now you'll eventually max TH11 in 2 years time. If you wait another 6 months before you move, you'll max TH11 in 2 years + 6 months. Every second you stay in TH9 right now is a second away from a maxed base.

Should've upgraded a long time ago before you maxed your walls. Hero levels, defense levels, wall levels, all do not matter when you decide to move to TH10. The only factor is troops.

I had written a reply to this about an hour ago (which I forgot to press send on), which included:

"If you ask SoD, he will tell you to upgrade now, as you're wasting time that could be spent on labs, which is the true bottleneck to TH10"... it's almost like I've met him before.

My answer is always this (to the question of whether or not to upgrade).

If your goal is to get to max TH11 asap, then you're past the point where you should have upgraded. However, upgrading with decent level Heroes will help you when you get to TH10 - by all accounts it's not a make or break situation, after all those who way to play the game is press upgrade on their TH whenever they can, regardless of defence or offence. The step up from TH9 to TH10 offence is a big one, and whenever you upgrade it won't be easy - but it will be made easier with good Heroes.

Having read a lot of these type of threads, the general advice for those who have made the step that you and me both are thinking about is: the higher the better. You just have to balance that against "The longer you wait the longer it'll take you to max th11 because it's the labs which are the bottleneck at TH10".

You can go now, you can wait until 30/30. You won't find it impossible now, you won't find it easy at 30/30. It's a personal choice, although I kind of like TH9, and I'm in no rush.

Depends how you're feeling about TH9 - if you want a change up (a big one) go to TH10 - the inferno towers basically change everything.

If you're currently enjoying TH9 then there's no reason to rush it and I'd do a couple more levels of your heroes as farming is significantly easier (and less costly) down there.

For me, I was the former, so I did go to TH10 early but in your position I don't think anyone would call it "rushing" especially if you have walls done.

TH9 is still the sweet spot of the game

Carry on with your heroes, enjoy the game.

Lab is being kept idle? Then upgrade. Focus on lab and heroes. But if you are solely focused on war 3 stars, stay at th9 and work on heroes. But it will get a bit boring in the non-war game, and will slow down your overall progression.
Personally, i would upgrade asap.

Life is much easier as a new Th10 with 30/30 heroes.journey Felt easier than th9 but 25/25 isn't bad as well.

Th10 lab takes a year (approx) so plenty of time to max out your heroes to 40/40 then.

You won't be rushing if you are upgrading right now imo. Everything done bar heroes is closest to max. I would say don't keep the lab idle waiting on heroes.

It really depends. Do you like war? Then max heroes and maybe even stay at th 9 after that. You have already maxed your defenses, so matchmaking will give you tough bases whether you upgrade heroes or not.

If you don't care about wars and are more focused on the perception of progress, upgrade now. You will have plenty to do in your base for a looong time. Wars will suck, though. Big time. Seriously, you will be cleaning up 9s or striving for 2 stars for a long time.

No regrets staying at 9 until fully maxed 30/30 before moving up. TH10 is more manageable with higher heroes and need to be moving toward 40/40 to enjoy it much IMO, at least right now. Th9 isn't bad with varied strategies for war. Would miss it if not for my mini.

If you're framing this in terms of time to max 11, I'd ask why... Are you counting on it SC balancing it later? Because it looks horrible right now.

I'm staying TH9 for quite awhile. I love it. TH10 is tempting but I just want to enjoy the TH9 strats. For me that's the kicker.

So you want to farm heroes.
If your farming th9s and 10s (they usually have the most DE):
th9 can get 100% off a th9 and 100% off a th10 with lvl 6 troops and 2 drills.
th10 can get 80% off a th9 and 100% off a th10 with lvl 7 troops and 3 drills.
But then th9 can also steam roll th8s for loot.
In the end its your choice, but I would move up.

Recent TH10 here.

I fully maxed out TH9 before going up, did not regret the decision. I would recommend 25/25 for royals before going up, you will suffer with less especially the queen. You need strong queen for TH10 attacks. I would stay and concentrate purely on raiding dark, upping your queen to 25 or higher, then think about going up.

The problem is, that once you hit th10, you will be focusing on upgrading your dark troops and all the other stuff, and then you'll be neglecting your heroes. The other scenario is that you'll simply still be playing catchup with your heroes when you are already th10

Its strange, 2 years ago moving up with 15/15 and legos isn't rushed. After a while, the recommendation became 20/20 and legos then 25/25 and lavas. Later on, people said that you should stay until either walls or heroes are complete. Now, anything less than 30/30 and full lavas is rushed, noob and less optimal.

I hate that people still say "you'll be playing catchup". Let's say you're moving through school, the principal gave you a choice, to finish year 9 in a year then year 10 in another year, or you can half-finish year 9 in 6 months then year 10 in 6 months, which would you choose? This is the choice when one makes to not max TH9 and move to TH10 early. Its not like "I'm not doing homework today so I need to do more tomorrow", because as long as all 5 builders and lab are working, you finish everything at the same rate
