LittleMoon's TH 9 farming and rushing ( soon TH 10 )

Hello everyone. I'm currently at end of my TH9 stay as a rusher. Since I started the game I did my TH pretty much back to back and landed on TH9. I came in with very low defenses and only the troops I use to farm and war. You could say I'm a bit engineered although it's not my main goal. I was more interested in starting my AQ early and my level 9 walls. I plan to move to TH10 soon since loot is better there, especially DE, and I plan to keep my heroes down all the way to 40/40. So far, I've kept them both down and I had to slow down on DE farming since I can't get rid of it quick enough. I sometimes use full hog armies to waste some away and not be raided. This is another reason why I stayed away from TH8... I can put my gold/elixir into walls and protect myself.

I hope the thread servers anyone who's interested in playing the game a second time and wonders whether rushing works or not and what to expect. I will be uploading images of my base from time to time, some logs and my daily gold grab and elixir escapade. When you see a jump of 5 to 10 million gold/elixir a day it means I probably didn't boost that day. For the days where I farm over 20million loot, I boosted once or twice :)

Anything you want to discuss, comment or ask is more than welcomed. The thread is just for fun and to keep a log of what I did. It's not a thread to discuss engineering, wheter maxing or rushing is better or anything negative at all :)

I plan to boost a lot the next few days. I wonder if I can finish all level 9 and 10 walls in 2 weeks !

The base I used to spawn christmas trees in the borders. As you can see, the image in the walls glitched. I was very sad thinking they would stay like that forever, but I switched layouts and it fixed itself.

YEs, that is me.

Today's update :
* My queen woke up and I took her out for some raids. After a boost session she's now sleeping again and going to level 10.
* I started my TH10 upgrade and I'm also doing my Dark Elixir storage. Since I keep 2 builders on heroes and 1 for walls it feels like I'm playing with two builders only.
* Tomorrow my barbs go to 5. I will start level 6 and after those are done, my wizards are going to level 5. Level 4-5 will probably happens while the lab upgrades.

Some logs from today :

As a TH9, all my farming was done between 1700-2100.
So Gold 3 to crystal 3 seems very good. I only farm dead bases as you can see on my logs. The higher you go as a TH9 the less dead bases you seem to find.

Today's Update :

*For the last couple of days I've been finishing my all my walls to level 9. Only 50 more to go. I had to slowdown farming the last 2-3 days because I've going hanging out at night ( going out at night is bad for walls ). :)

*My barbarians finished going to level 5 and I started level 6.

*Today I boosted for one hour but I noticed loot was very dry. I'm used to finding fat bases every 5-10 nexts and it took a lot of nexting today. Tomorrow my king wakes up and I have the DE ready to send him to sleep again.

*I've been using all archers to farm. Its 20,000 more elixir and 1 minute more of build time but I find it easier to farm with. I tend to circle all my archers around the base because I always want to 50% to keep my farm range at 1900-2000. If I didnt care for trophies I'm pretty sure my loot per hour would go up but I would drop so low on trophies it's not worth it.

Here are some logs :

Thank you :) Tomorrow I will hopefully have a good update for you and anyone else following.

Some new stuff for today :

I finally finished all my walls to level 9. The base looks better now since I have all walls look the same. Not sure if I should start level 10 walls or just slow down on farming. I'm gonna hate having walls that look different.

Here's my current gold grab, I went from 182 million gold grab to 328 million gold grab rather quickly ( About 2-3 weeks ). Next goal is 1billion

Here's my profile if anyone wants to visit the village or come join me in a boost session. I have a TH10 to give us troops standing by :) 556 attacks won this season. I wanted 1,000 but its hard without TH snipes nowadays >.<

Very interesting, I look forward to seeing the progress on your base and everything.

haha this looks like my base for months

for the first 8 months of my play i have been stuck with only level 1 traps, level1 archer towers and level 1cannons, and walls. i dump gold mostly on walls. why level 1? because level 2 takes more than 1min to build and i dont want to spend that much time on defenses. my focus was elix buildings.

The truth is you can still keep all your builders busy without doing any defense, if you rush to th10. After maybe 8 months, you will now be required to do some defenses to avoid idle builders.

I know how you feel. I only did a couple of defenses to force th8s and th9s to waste attacks on me on war. I'm currently keeping 2 builders on heroes, both going to 12 and I'm still doing my collectors. Just like you mentioned, no time for more defenses. I keep a builder open for level 10 walls. Today I reached Th10 and tomorrow I will have an update. Its late and I'm about to pass out :)

What's your # to visit your village ? Cheers.

Here is today's update :

I got to TH10 last night after gemming two days worth of time. I won't be playing at all today, tomorrow or all the way to tuesday due to work and personnal stuff, so I decided to gem the time last night and farm to start those very long upgrades and keep 5 builders busy. My initial plan was to buy the TH10 value pack because I really wanted that extra inferno ASAP, but the Lunar Pack got in the way. Needless to say, the lunar pack was actually great and I ended up getting that instead of the TH10 pack.

On my first day I started the spell factory, lab, CC, Queen again going to 12 and I had a Dark Barrack already upgrading to level 4. I gemmed the time on the laboratory and started my archers to level 7. Those will make my 240 all archer army very strong and with it I will farm crystal easily. Had I not gotten the Lunar Pack, I would have boosted 2 hours last night to make the elixir. King is also down going to level 12.

Here is my bran new TH10

I already farmed 25 level 10 walls at TH9.

My super rushed profile. That poor lab can't keep up :)

Filthy gemmer :smirk:

I feel the lunar pack isn't very useful so none of my accounts are getting it. But 8mil elixir is quite useful for a new TH10

Edit: actually it is better than the TH9 or TH11 pack (except that the TH11 pack gives a free EA, so 10 days skipped), because TH11 pack is only worth 6mil elixir + 8mil gold + 10 days skipped.

TH10 pack skips 17 days for lvl2 inferno which is why its so good

Nice progress,did i miss something in the thread, or are you upgradeing only walls and th. Your defense buildings are weak :( If i missed something, i am sorry.

I'm very filthy ^_^
The lunar pack at TH9 looked so bad that I decided I would wait it out but at TH10 8million elixir is so good, especially since I need the gems to boost at night. I didnt know the pack would change. I will save the th10 pack for when I need more gems next month to boost.

I'm mostly doing walls, heroes and Collectors. I've went from th1 to th9 as quickly as possible. My builders spent most of their time doing offense or collectors. At TH9 I spent about 1-2 months doing heroes from 1 to level 12 together and I wanted to do all walls level 9 before I moved to TH10. While my townhall went to level 10 I did about 28 level 10 walls.

I only have "2builders" because the other two are always doing heroes and I use the other one to do walls. Those two are doing their best to catch up. Once my collectors are maxed I will work on my defenses. There are some benefits to doing it this way for me. Since I'm very active I can finish my walls asap. My offense is high and defense is low, so I can go to war and not be a liability for my clan. DE is higher at TH10 so I can max heroes fasters and infernoes are the best defense in the game. With maxed infernoes and th6-7 defenses I will defend better than a maxed TH9 in multiplayer. You didnt miss anything, no worries :)

Why would you focus on upgrading collectors when 1 barch raid compensates for a whole days collector loot?
Im doing the same, somewhat but maxing th11 before, however the th9 i play i havent upgraded any collectors, even de drills. My theory, if someones searching for loot, why give them the satisfaction of collector raids ?
I very rarely lose loot because of this.

Rushing is negative,but not all negative.
Upgrade your troop and spell to level max,its making strong your attack.

Because collectors make you loot each day. At TH10 its 588,000 gold/elixir every 24 hours. Thats 214 million gold/elixir in a year from doing nothing. Defenses on the other hand can't make you loot at all. The way I play, I'm always dropping loot into walls and DE on heroes back to back, so defenses really provide no benefit for me but collectors do. By having the collectors maxed you can do almost half the level 11 walls for "free" in a year from passive bonuses while defenses will not do that.
DE drills make you 2.6 million DE elixir in a year so by doing both collectors to max asap I will be making more loot per day/week/month than someone who didnt do it. In a year I will be ahead by a very solid amount because I did. It might seem like a small number, but it takes about 1.5 barch raids to make that in a day, so I will essentially be 547 Barch raids ahead at TH10. I believe thats not too bad. At the two year mark the bonus is even bigger and it keeps getting better and better.

I think rushing could be negative if you don't have a plan or if you don't upgrade your barch troops. For everything else, I think its better. Loot is already better at TH10. I'm sitting at all my storages maxed and because I want to do all offensive upgrades quickly, its the first time I did not leave a builder open. It was a bad idea hahaha. First time I've been raided in weeks :)

I saw the account. How old is it? It looks like you might have maxed TH8, but I'm not entirely sure.

Today's Update :
The first 15 to 20 days of TH10 are boring. I left both my heroes awake to have 4 builders working for me. 2 are on Camps right now, ones on a dark barrack that will unlock witches, one on CC that finishes in 4 days and 1 on a giant bomb.

Tomorrow I will start my third camp to max level. I had to gem 1 day off my spell factory to attack in war since we have a very tough match up and all our attacks where needed. When the CC is done, I will use that last builder for my final camp. Its a little tough using TH9 barch to raid dead TH10s while mantaining my trophy range. Heroes are helping a little bit on that. Once I have 240 spaces and level 7 archers, I will do all archer raids and keep both heroes down again.

The heal spell event has been great for me. I'm trying to waste DE so I'm using mass hogs in multiplayer with all heals. I'm raiding baby or mid TH9s and dead bases and making a huge amount of elixir and gold while lowering my DE a bit :). Not being able to do walls at night is very boring for me. I already got all my new 25 walls to level 7 and 10 of them are level 8. Soon I will bring more pictures. Currently at 740 attacks won. I wanted 1000 but soon the season ends :)

I kinda disagree here. After climbing a bit to Crystal 1, I dropped almost hitting all dead bases. Saw a ton of 2700 de dead bases on my drop down to gold.

Also, where are you farming at th10?

Well, I never went above 2172 and I made over 25,000 DE a day and a loot of gold/elixir so I really can't comment on anything over 2200. I did notice it took much more nexts the higher I went so I stopped climbing. I'm used to finding a dead base every 5-10 nexts, so maybe I'm spoiled, hahah. If Crystal I is filled with dead TH9s then its better since I always try to aim for 50% to mantain trophies. The crystal I bonus would be nice.

Right now I'm farming between 1800 to 2000. I'm mainly going for elixir to do my camps and offensive upgrades. I still have TH9s offensive strength which isnt that great compared to TH10 barch. Once I have barch at level 7 I'm going to try crystal 1,2 and 3 and then I can give you a proper answer.

Do you have a TH10 ? If so, where do you farm ? I was probably going to barch CII and CI following Sin's guide and raid logs, but if there is a better range I would love that. I have another TH10 that I don't play much but a couple of days ago I tried a boost session with it and 2400 seemed a very good range.

Well as a 2 month old TH9 who was hovering in Masters last week, you are partly right saying that dead bases tend to be lesser in higher leagues. My experience in Masters is that as a TH9 i would mostly be offered other TH9 with almost mid or max defenses or TH10 and TH11 with higher defense. I hardly saw a dead TH9 base. This was with almost 20 nexting each time i wanted to attack.

I dropped down to crystal 1 and now i am finding a lot of dead bases of TH9 and TH8 too. DE is higher in higher leagues but i find similar in Crystal 1 too and i would be staying here for as long as i can. Even might drop to crystal 2 then climb again. Staying in crystal also allows you to attack more TH8 as they are plenty there and almost non-existing in masters. As you said league bonus is always a plus. Crystal is the best place to stay. Mind you i use a full Eli army most of the time as i dont care eli much having all eli buildings done and now just need them for troops.

What you report is what I generally noticed too and it makes sense. The higher you go the more active players are and the stronger bases are. Active players will raid the dead bases and thats why I stay at 1800 to 2100. Even as a TH10 this range is beautiful.

Just for more support, loot in low champs is the epitome of awful (though I don't need the loot lol), rarely anything over 200k standalone (no bonus) but the bonus makes it 'look' like it's a 300k and above in loot.


In short, yes the higher you go the worse it gets generally.

I noticed that trend and never went above 3400 on my main. Farming dead bases is very easy and relaxing. The only way I would push would be if bonus was way bigger or if 50% got most if like before.

Today's update :

I had some hours left on my CC and I gemmed it so I could boost a bit and play, plus do some walls :). I was sitting on full storages for a long time, so you welcome players who raided me for 400,000 and 3000 DE. ^_^

I am almost done with all the new walls to level 9. I haven't been able to play and do much of them since builders were all busy. I started my final camp to max. That's the first milestone I wanted to reach as a TH10. I'm still going to do a dark barrack back to back to max because I want bowlers unlocked. It's one of my favorite troops, along with the witch with how unique they are in Clash of Clans. I'm very tempted to buy the TH10 pack and if I do, I would probably build both infernoes and not war for maybe 2 months while some defenses go up. It might be time to say goodbye to engineering for me.

Loot is very, very good at th10. I will post some logs in case you're scared of raiding at TH10. I find it better than TH9 especially if going for DE. I never go for DE and I'm sitting at 110,000 DE I can't use since builders are busy. I would be at about 140,000 but I've been using mass hogs to drain it at 2600DE a raid and getting raided.

820 attacks won this season ( I need to go out less ) :D

Littlemoon looking at what you said and also many others that TH10 loot is better kinda makes me think if i should rush my mini which is mid TH8 with only gobs, loon and wb not max while Pekka hasnt been unlocked yet. For DE troops hogs is at 3 and minions at 2 while valks at 1 and golem is opened yet too.

My Main which i posted progress is 2 month old TH9 where i am going up both offensive and defensive at the same time. BK at 15 and AQ is 12 and might put down to 13 with the bonus loot.

The other day one of our clan member who is max TH9 with defense and eli troops while his golem (he doesnt uses them), lava, witches are all 1 rest are max. DE spells arent maxed too. His walls are half lv7 and some level 8. His royals are only BK9 and AQ9. I suggested that he should not go to TH10 unless royals are 15/15 and at least some DE troops upgraded too.

TL:DR, question is that if someone who wars very frequently what do you think are the optimum royals levels to go TH10. I am kinda thinking of either taking my main or mini to TH9 and then TH10 asap. We dont have anyone with bowlers in our clan and 1 of the leader just started it 2 days a back. Eager to use bowlers for a long time.

I haven't done an attack vs a TH10 in war in about 4-5 months now seeing as I only play my mini which is my favorite right now and will turn into my main. Also, my main attack has always been air based so I'm not to experienced on ground attacks. Its why I'm eager to use bowlers as well. I want to become good at ground raiding.

The most optimal is 30/30 for sure and even then, you won't three star TH10s who are maxed unless the layout is very bad and heroes are at 40/40. As a farmer I would suggest 20/20 as a minimum for a couple of reasons. It takes about 1-2 months to get used to TH10, max camps, dark barracks and researching you bowlers. In that time heroes would end up at 28-28 if you do them back to back and DE is easier at TH10. I've seen a new attack used in CWL called BoWi ( bowlers witch ) that seems very strong. TH11s use it to three TH10s in what seems an effortless attack and they use it vs Th11s with success. Maybe you could look into those videos.

For the troops you mentioned, I don't use goblins at all and I have never unlocked a Pekka in any of all my accounts and I have never once felt, "Boy, that attack really missed a pekka". I like hogs maxed out every TH because even as back end troops they are great and they can lure stuff out. I'm sorry I can't be of better help since I'm more farm oriented than anything. I suggest 20/20 because thats when I feel heroes become very, very strong for the second time. The first time I feel a huge boost is at 15/15. Then I feel they get very good at 30/30. If your clan mate plans to farm at TH10 and not war too much then any level heroes work since they can be put to sleep back to back all the way to level 25 without a lot of effort. I'm going to ask Sin if he can come in and give some advice since I know he has tons of accounts at different levels doing wars and his perspective is very numbers/efficiency oriented.

Depends on requirements, for a simple 2 star, 15/15 royals should be plenty. I've seen many TH10s get by without heroes just by using baby drags and miners to get the TH and 60%. If you plan to 3 star TH9s as well (absurd that 3 starring a TH9 is harder than 2 starring a TH10, should be the other way round), then you need to brush up on some warring skills. 15/15 would get you by easily if you have the necessary skills to do so.
