You have to take offense into consideration when considering premie or not.Quote:

This is indeed considered premie.
But their defense is in pretty good shape.
Haha, my troops were just like this when I got to TH9. I didn't join the forum for a few months after that!
Once I got the knowledge I recovered quickly.
Now my only lab upgrades are lightning spell (to 5), heal spell (to 6), dragon (to 3) P.E.K.K.A. (to 2) and my valks, golems, and witches, all base level.
I maxed hogs, healers, minions, and wizards after I came onto this forum fairly easily.
My point in all this being you can recover just fine. My walls are worse than yours right now! :)
Focus on your splash damage buildings:D
Bro, you are totally fine. Look at my base, lvl 7/8 arch towers, lvl 9 cannons, lvl 3/4 wiz towers, lvl 3/4 air defense, mortars lvl 6 (actually ok for me now), and 95% of my walls are lvl 6 (4 are lvl 7). You're in great shape bro, and this is what I'm at now, you should have seen me a year ago! You are totally fine to me, if you are gonna be a TH9 premmie, you are definately over the good side of the fine line of premmie-ish or not. Good job. However, I say work on your troops just a little before TH10, and max out defences mostly too. Lesson learned, but well done!
I myself had this problem. What i did was Giant-Heal Barb and arch my way to max hogs. Once i did this i was able to use all Hog armies (using all DE) to acquire resources for max balloons quickly so i could eventually Ballonion. Hope this helps. I was stuck for a month in limbo too :(
Also, max gobs helps get quick resources on lonely bases!
Ive seen waaaaay worse. I say your good. Just a little catching up to do for sure but its not that bad. Your right there!
Thank you, guys! Much help.
Acutally, I've been in this situation for 2-3 months already. I just kept upgrading my defense. I forgot to level up my troops coz I thought I'd survive a Healer/giants/Barb/Archer/WB combo the whole time. When I decided to trophy hunt, I couldn't beat anyone in 2000+ trophies and they always 2-3 stars me when they attack. I changed my base set up a few days ago. It's good, but high level mass hogs in 1800+ trophies overpowers my base.
Now my dilemma is what to upgrade first. Minions? Balloons? Hogs? Please leave your insight.
Lastly, how do you farm for DE? I'm not getting much.
Thanks. :)
If you're pushing, I'd go with balloon before anything else. They're essential for balloonions, and I prefer those to hogs - hogs cost a hefty amount of DE, but that's purely up to taste and preference.Quote:

It works well, it helped me get my AQ and is easily switched to pushing mode. Currently I'm farming and I honestly get attacked 9/10 times by climbers or trophy pickers. Hoped this helped, and let me know if you want a pic of my base! Good luck.
