Play TH 1-8, Pay TH 9-10?
I would like your honest opinion if you find it realistic to complete level 9 and 10 without geming. I will max my TH8 in a few weeks and bought gems to get 5 builders in the beginning. Even if I like many of you find the loot situation bad I know I will be able to max TH8 with tesla 6 á 3 milion gold as worst part. Expensive but doable.
On TH9 it seems like every upgrade is 5-6 milion or more. I think the economy was made for TH8 as max level and 9-10 for gemers.
Depends on your mind seet
My first response is yes. I am nearly a maxed Th9, all farming.
However, if you still want to have fun - pick heros or walls to grind - not both and even then don't shoot for 100% maxed
I've focused on have at least 1 hero upgrading at all times (once I was out of the new th9 phase). I have a lvl 15 archer queen and won't have an issue of hitting lvl15 with my BK before th10. But I am not sticking around th9 to get lvl 8 walls and lvl 30 heros......
From my pushes I honestly don't see the need for lvl 8 walls. There great but most players are using hogs and balloons. That and lvl 7 walls will hold there ground. Lvl 8 is better, and 9 is intimidating but experienced players aren't going to be phased anyway.
