How to max this th8 ASAP!?

Hey https://imgur.com/a/FuRmgpp. Need help with fixing this base of my friend’s. ASAP in the sense, f2p ;)
possible leagues, troops, etc. remember, he has no BK. Dark is pretty hard to come by in silver. His best is Gold 2 (not sure)

ASAP? Easy. Use gems. Lots of gems. Not quite ASAP? Farm loot as much as possible, upgrade stuff.

get more builders...loot like crazy.


there's only one good way to fix a rush and that's to stop rushing and upgrade stuff. if you can spend money use it to buy more builders.

I had 4 builder when I reached th8. Try pushing to get those gems and buys builders. With 4 builder it took me 4 months to max from max 7. But that was 1.5 years ago. I think it takes nearly 3months now. Only 1 advice save gems and buy builder because keeping 2 builder busy at th8 is not difficult.

f2p...gather gems by completing achievements, and play the builder base to get the gem mine. and clear up the trees and stuff there.
Use the gems to get to 5 builders as soon as you can, so don't spent a single gem on anything other than builders.

Always keep the lab running! If possible, upgrade it when a troop upgrade is running. Upgrade the basic farming troops first, not the cool war troops.

Upgrade your attack before your defences: army camps, barracks, spell factories, clan castle go first. Resource storages are important too, obviously.

Plan! calculate your upgrades times: if I upgrade this now, I need to have x elixir/gold by then to be able to start the next one right away.

And farm. Farm a LOT.

Gems, gems & more gems!

More builders are a huge priority, so don't spend any gems on anything other than builders; not a single one!

Work on achievements & max the gem mine. Take gems, where available, from Clan Games; even if there's a jucier option.

The One Time Kingly Offer will go a long way towards helping.

Barch or gibarch in silver/gold, switch to dragloon in gold/crystal when you run out of stuff to spend elixir on. Don't neglect walls.

Sitting at Th8 to finish all the de upgrades will be painful.

Catching it up is easy but you need Builders. Only 2 Builders...he must have been playing that a while.

Get the One Time Kingly Offer so you get 5000 gems for 3 bucks. Buy the remaining 3 Builders. Alternatively, raid like a mad man to get the gem achievements to buy the Builders. (Don’t be stupid cheap - spend the 3 bucks.)

Once you have 5 Builders, you just raid for resources and build, build, build. I would hit the ADs first if you intend to take the game into war. Otherwise, just use the Builder suggestions feature or line it up in a sensible order. Offense always comes first on my games - buy the Barbarian King and upgrade him nonstop to L10; Lab, Barracks, Dark Barracks, troops. Then I hit the storages, followed by defenses, and lastly walls.

Get him into a decent clan so he can reap the benefits of Clan Games. Decent resources and a Rune on the rewards list this week.

If you get the remaining 3 Builders and raid daily, keeping everything upgrading non-stop, you’ll have t maxed in a few weeks.

Raid as much as u can daily.Don't boos barracks but save gems for builders.I had the same condition at th9 but had 5 builders . XP was 57. From there it took me just 5 months to max th9 seriously. If your pocket is deep then go for buying gems for builder huts. Use batch(barbs and archers) to get huge loot. And as said upgrade stuff continuously. For Barch , refer to this full guide of Barch with full replays and demonstration.
