I started my th upgrade last night. Going to take 10 days for it. I wanted some pointers so I can prepare for it and make the transition a bit easier. What should I upgrade or build first when I get to th9? What is the best range to farm in for th9? What troop combo should I be using in th9? I am using BARCH a lot right now with a lot of success in farming. Any other suggestions that would help would be great too. Thanks! :)
Upgrade your Lab, build both of your X-Bows, get your Archer Queen and then start building the new buildings and upgrading them.
I found 200 k loot everywhere around 1500-1900 TH 8/9.
Any troop I should upgrade first before the others?Quote:

Know you will be a TH8 in a TH9 body for a bout 4 weeks, the new skin is tough to fit into initially...lvl 5 troops don't cut it at TH9...Quote:

(she builds instantly, so she should be the first thing you build at TH9 IMO) its easier to get Dark from 17-1900s or higher if you have a few thousand extra then you can use some minions or other dark troops once you build the Queen... she is a HUGE benefit to TH9, raiding esp...
Key two:
I then would start working on the X-Bow(s) and the new buildings. (specifically the Lab, SF, Camps! Dark Drill) the new stuff will keep your builders busy while the X-bow(s) builds. level 1 turrets help more then no turrets. (make a schedule to upgrade the base in a good order.. I did my X-bows back to back.. so they finished in like 4 hours of one another :cool:
Start your Lab right away! (I did Giants as they have the highest increase in stats overall, but use the troops you use the most, if you Barch, then Barbs->Archers may be the way to go) I went Giants->Minions->Archer->Barb->Hog->B'loons... for how I raid... get the camps going asap too, the 20 extra troops help immensely! so does that 4th spell!
other things to note:
You may suddenly find yourself short on Elixir! so Barch/Bam was wat got me through initially (like for 3-5 weeks) once you start getting the troops leveled up its much smoother. It was an adjustment of about 1.5 extra days to get my upgrades from TH8 life.. more searching costs and fewer targets avail.. (TH7 only profitable for trophies IME) but with the troop buffs, it balances out as you can get more with less eventually.
Focus on Offensive upgrades first, then fit some defense turrets in when you get the time
I did my CC right away too, but I know people put that off due to costs..
good luck its madd fun!
