Post a screen shot of you base lets see what we can do!
5 builders is a must then I'd say boost de drills good option for heros and maybe speed up barracks for raids
There ya go
Your base got really much left to do...u should farm a little instead of using those gems.
But rekommendations:
Get all builders.
Drills to lvl4
Mortars to max
Wiz to 6
Max out Collectors
Max Out camps
Upgrade you elixir troops; barbs, archers, giants to lv5.
Upgrade dark troops, Minions.
That should get you started.
Need more opinions!
First, get the fifth builder. Then do some troop upgrades, then splash.
Spend it slowly but spend it all on air D and teslas, you will thank me later. They are to weak for TH 9
More please..!
you just wasted $100. at your stage farming gold/elixir is pretty much easy. learn how to farm efficiently and save those gems for th9/10 you'll need them much more there when the wait time per upgrade is 2 weeks ;)
You didn't necessarily waste them. It's just far more efficient to spend them on speed boosts and builder's huts rather than just instantly finishing a building.
You nearly triple the value of your gems by NOT instant building something. Just some thoughts unless you're very impatient. haha.
thanks for the heads-up more opinions please
1. dont upgrade your townhall until you upgradet alot of your defences!
2. Max Armycamps + the Units you use to farm
3. i dont know how much u can buy with your gems but I recommend to farm ressources and use those Gems to speed up the buildingtime
4. Upgrade your defences evenly, upgrade one Mortar, one AntiAir, one Wizzardtower and one Canon/Archertower at the same time (dont forget Teslas, they are very strong). Try to get all towers of one sort at the same level then go forward.
e.g. all antiair lvl 4 then all anti air lvl 5 THEN all antiair lvl 6 (same with all other towers) It is not that good to have one lvl 6 Antiair and two lvl 2 Antiair --> BETTER three lvl 4 Antiair
You can upgrade things like Mines/Collectors/Drill/Walls etc. everytime you have the builder and the Ressources for it but cant upgrade something mentioned above.
Good luck & have fun
Anyone else?
Speed up barracks, or finish buildings when you have max gold and no free builder.
I would upgrade those walls but first get the 5th builder.
To what level, for the walls?
Well good thing hes at th8 huhQuote:

5 builders, boost barracks and spell factory, raid hard for gold and elixer and have fun! If you must, spend it on finishing upgrades - the longer, the better bang for buck, so as suggested above, get your tessla and air defense maxed out, the build times there go up to 12 days, which is a fair amount of gems but best value for money. If you can get your King to level 9 or 10, that might be worth speeding up too, as it gets pretty painful waiting 4+ days for that upgrade to finish. Last but not least, you might well want to speed up one or more troop upgrades - again, these can be long running, and for TH8 the lab is a bottleneck if you want all your troops maxed.
Do not waste gems on buying gold, elixer or DE.
Do not waste gems on walls - when you raid hard for elixer (e.g. troop upgrades), spend the excess gold on walls.
Love it when people have that set upQuote:

upgrade all the splash defenses, air defenses, and tesla's to max. also get the walls to level6 atleast!
Much good advice here, and a few really bad ones.
1. Get your fifth builder!
2. a) Find a farming army you like. BAM is awesome and fast, but if you want a somewhat sturdier army you can use something like 4-8 giants, 4-8 wbs, 20 gobs, 20-40 barbs, 6-10 minions, rest archers. Anyway, make sure you max out all the troops you use (barbs + archers pretty much mandatory, either way). Your army camps look maxed, but if they are not, max them straight away. No need to use gems for this, just get comfortable with your farming army and start bringing in phat lootz.
2. b) Max (at least two of) your storages ASAP. There are pros and cons of having two or three storages, but at this point your defenses are so weak that I don't know whether it matters much. At least get two storages of each maxed and the last one to lvl 9, upgrade the last one (at the latest) when you've proceeded somewhat with steps 3-4. Swap layout to a more farming oriented layout (Pingfao's Tesla Theme Park / Junliang's Pokeball / IANNATION's Trapception spring to mind), moving out your TH and protecting resources. Cups mean less than neatly arranged obstacles at the outskirts of your village.
3. Max out your splash (pref. no more than one or two of each at a time).
4. Max out your ADs (one at a time or all at once, the latter making your base vulnerable to giant healer / air attacks when upgrading).
5. Start Teslas when more than half of your splash towers + ADs are maxed and you're still working on maxing the rest - preferably at least 2 workers on Teslas. As mentioned before, these take long to upgrade. Max them out.
6. Cannons and ATs have relatively short upgrade time. When pretty much all but one of your ADs and/or splash towers are done and your Teslas are being built on, use free builder(s) to get working on maxing your cannons and ATs.
7. If you are pretty much done with everything else / have insufficient resources / want to stagger building times, work on DE drill (not that high prio IMO) or barracks or pumps/mines.
Things to do all the time / inbetween building projects:
-keep your lab researching stuff all the time - priorities should lean towards maxing tier 1 troops, giants, wbs and minions (farming troops), and other troops that you might use frequently such as healers, wizards and spells. Healers and wizzies are great for when you raise trophies to gold1-crystal2 to farm for DE.
-always work on the walls when you have spare gold, at least get them all to level 7 before moving on to TH9, but I'd recommend getting them to level 8. If you don't have much else to spend gold on, you can probably finish 50 % of level 8 walls while your TH is upgrading, as well as max out storages.
-if you decide to level your BK, try not to waste building time on him before you've got your splash decently upgraded (at least lvl 5).
-try to save your gems for TH9 if you have the patience. If you're maxing out gold, finish the occasional building to free up a builder, or if you really are in a rush, gem some of the longer upgrades (ADs/Teslas) or lab stuff - this will be quite costly though. The gems are yours to spend on what you want, however, but I'd still prefer boosting barracks for faster armies if I had to spend my gems on something.
I hope it's not too wall-of-texty, and hope it helps.
My 2 gold coins :o
I have different ideas :)
Assuming you like the game and not going to throw another $100 every month.
Finishing a mortar from 0 to 100 for 2000 gems? thats just silly because it makes you not play the game.
So here is my plan.
1. Get 5 builders. Obvious.
2. Buy troops when you want to play. Imagine you have some free time and/or just want to play — if you are attacking with BAM you can buy around 11 archers for one gem. So in between attacks you only need to spend 10 gems to keep attacking. This is i believe highest gem to gold ratio if you happen to get at least 150k per attack (and you should). Some feel like boosting barracks is better (and it might be) but it makes you committed to game for 2 hours and i dont like that.
3. Finish building if it got less then 6 hours and you are going to sleep to not waste builders.
You can stop there and just slowly spend those gems over a course of a month or two having fun and playing the game.
If you want to spend more there are few more valid options.
4. Upgrade troops faster. I always felt like research lab is a limiting factor when you just switched TH level. So if you are attacking with some troops and its low level, boost the upgrade. However dont boost hogs from 0 to 5 just because you heard that its good. Try it at first, you might not even like it.
5. Dark Elixir. That is kinda hard to get at times, so if you are farming at low cups you might want to buy dark elixir to keep your lab going. Easier and cheaper option is to get to 1500cups+ and just boost spellfactory to get 3x lightnings fast. Thats also a decent flow of DE. I dont recommend boosting drill because it will cap at night.
have fun.
p.s. i am planning to buy gems when i get to next th level (which is 9) to get next level lab asap and maybe get fast xbows and / or archers 6. Having to wait 2 weeks before you get your core troops upgraded is too much for me.
Gemming troop upgrades is not a bad idea, the lab eats more time than anything else. It's still kind of costly, however..Quote:

However I disagree about gemming spell factory for 3x lightnings if he's going for DE, it's way more efficient to just farm for gold for a bit while getting archers, giants and wizards up to date and then heading for gold1-crystal2 to break into the core and catch some DE off of trophy hunters. So much more potential and efficiency.. But that's just preference.
BTW, checked out the costs of the TH9 upgrades you're speaking of, as I moved to TH9 myself not very long ago.
Lab is 753 gems, Archers lvl6 an additional 1853 gems, two Xbows (lvl1) also 1853 gems.. And it just get worse from there, 2603 and 3590 gems for lvl 2 and 3, respectively. Seeing this, I decided to go without them gems :rolleyes: 10650'ish gems for saving that time. Not counting in the resources required, of course. Food for thought :)
Thing is, it might be hard to get DE with BAM without spells anyway but i dont even know whats the regular price of boosting spell factory so w/e.
I wouldnt boost level 2 and 3 upgrades, just get the core going as fast as possible. It would also depend on how much gold and elixir i have. I definitely wont have enough gold to upgrade both xbows and definitely not to 2 and 3. (i am against buying gold because attacking for it is both more fun and cheaper)
Do not get the 5th builder unless you are prepared to play an outrageous amount.
My guess from looking at your base - you'll need to play much more than you do currently, to make it worthwhile.
Fifth builder pays for itself in around 20 days of building time. Where did you pull THAT ^^ out?Quote:
