What to expect at TH10?

I'm just about maxed at TH9, aside from walls (90 lvl 10, 160 lvl 9), heroes (AQ 21, BK 20), 2 Archer Towers and 2 Cannons.

With my TH upgrade having 9 days left, I started thinking about what my upgrade order would be which led me to thinking about the benefits of farming at TH10.

Excluding the obvious upgrades at TH10 defensively, there isn't much incentive to move up from a BARCHer's view..

Pros:
+20 camp space
+1 collectors
+1 spell
freeze spells
level 6 minions

Cons:
+250 gold per search
50% loot penalty for attacking TH8, which is where a lot of my resources came from
10% loot penalty for attacking TH9
no upgrades for barbarians or archers

So, I basically have zero gains to barch at TH10 versus TH9, does that mean I am forced to baloonion in Crystal II-Master I for resources or trophy push?

I believe some people BAM in high gold / lower crystal, but for me loot has been exceedingly bad all over from G1-C2. I'm currently making my way up to C1 and plan to try and balloonion farm in masters, since loot has been quite dismal at lower ranges. I'd say the +20 camp space definetly add a lot of power to your raiding kit, and you get the additional spell slot as well as another level of Lightning.

It kind of sounds like your base is in overall good shape, though, so those ITs will probably help your base a lot when you get them up and running. But yea, overall it looks like you're forced to move up further because of lack of loot at lower ratings - at least in my experience. I hope someone can prove me wrong, though.

Yup I think you have it about right, tahts my experience at least.

Went from baming in anything from S1 to G1 as a TH9 to looning in C1-M3 as a TH10.

I do miss the quick build times and easy raids of TH9 but enjoyed learning looning. Stick with it, loons can be very frustrating early on.

Dont Listen to everyone about the loot is bad. Just use the right troop Combo and find the best farming range. Hes screen shots from last night.
