Going to TH 9!

Hey guys. I just started the upgrade to TH 9 as I am a maxed TH 8. Im a little scared, not because of defense I'm sure my defense can hold pretty well, but the real issue I've had with holding off my TH upgrade was the loot. I've seen numerous threads about higher TH's not finding enough loot and I'm hoping that does not happen to me. Could any Vet TH 9 give me a few advise for TH 9 loot and what i should upgrade first and maybe, perhaps a TH 9 farming base thats symmetrical as i'm OCD (Not really but like symmetrical bases) lol thanks guys. :cool: Also is my gold grab where it should be for a incoming TH 9?

Here is my Gold Grab thanks guys!

Pretty much maxed TH 8, and will be TH 9 in seven days. My little plan is to fill my storages completely, gold is already 6 milion and when TH 9 kicks in I will start build two xbows, upgrade the lab and get the queen ASAP. I'm happy with my latest base design and have a good idea how to develop it into a TH 9.

First thing to upgrade in the Lab will be Giants. Those lvl 6 are monsters.

Maybe we can share some ideas and get input from Th9s as well. I'm also a bit concerned about more loot penalty.

Congrats! I envy you. I'm not too far behind...

Edit: Regarding the gold grab, I say you are normal.

Nice man. I filled my storages before upgrading the TH need 3 mill in 10 days :) at the rate I'm farming should be their in no time. What base are you using? Yeah lvl 6 giants have been causing me some trouble lately.

My GG is 250 mil and I'm close behind you. Also, after giants, get level 6 archers.

thanks bro! You'll get their. :cool: Also, how to get many views on my threads lol?

There is some glitch on the forums where there is always one more view than post in a thread.

Well I'm about 1.5 months into th9 so I've just passed where you are going and here's what I saw early on in th9. First of all, the lab is a no brainer, do it first and then upgrade your farming army. I'm a BAM user so I upgraded barbs first. Barbs give you a nice boost at lvl 6 and are relatively inexpensive. I wouldn't do archers until later because they require 7.5 million elixir, which means you have to fully upgrade your 4th elixer storage b4 you can upgrade them and the jump in DPS is negligable.

Also, upgrade your camps ASAP! Offense is the name of the game here and getting yourself and additional 20 slots is huge.

Defensively, of course xbows are huge and that should be the first thing you spend your gold on. Then get all of your other new defenses up to th8 levels. From there you will see what you get hit most with. I personally am upgrading all of my point defenses first because of lvl 6 giants. At th9 the mortor turns into the least effective upgrade as it already one shots those archers.

For a base, use Ringus (just search the forums for it and you will find it). Not only is it good against hogs, but it's also great against giants because they go in a merry go round around the base.

Farming will get tougher but just use the same strategies you did at th8. With the extra 20 slots you still should be able to farm fairly well. I personally love BAM because it's just so fast. Around 1500 trophys is usually a good spot for gold at th9. Be careful not to drop under 1400 cuz then you get into th7 territory and the loot penalty kills you.

Good luck!

TH9 loot is great.
