TH8 Dilemma, Defenses and Walls soon MAX, Reserach though.....

Hi Guys

I am a L78 TH8 player and have always Maxed my defenses for each respective townhall.

The problem came at TH7 when I found farming DE to be quite hard so as soon as defenses, walls and tier 1 troops were max, I jumped to TH8.

Suffice it to say, I have been at TH8 for 3 months now (i think, ball park figure)

I nearly have my defenses and walls maxed, only L6 Teslas and L10 AT to go and 23 skull walls. This should take me no longer than 2-3 weeks TOPS.

My problem is my Lab, the DE troops I neglected at TH7

This is what is still to be upgraded

• Healer L3 (never use Healer)
• Dragon L3 (never use Dragon however, might start MASS DRAGS and RAGE for Clan Wars)
• Pekkas L2 and L3 (time is a darn pain) Im assuming i will require GoWiPe at TH9?
• Minions L2, L3, L4, (NEVER EVER USE THESE LITTLE CREATURES because I focused on Hogs which are Level 4 in 7 days time)
• Golem L2 (never use)
• Valk (L2) (never ever use)
• Rage L5 (never use due to creation time)
• Heal Spell L5 (i use with Hogs)

Cumulatively, these upgrades will take more than 2 months.

Should I hang tight and have 5 unoccupied builders and research or should I merely upgrade say, Heal Spell, Dragon or Pekka and one other and jump to TH9?

Help!!

PS: Dont say "upgrade what you use the most, Im about to tell you what I use the most"

Barch! or 14Hogs/12Giants/3Heal Spell/11Barbs/40Archers

Being a fairly regular farmer and active player, there is no way your lab can be up to par with your base. Things simply take way too long.

I'm at your same level, L78 TH8, i would highly recommend you to upgrade the spells,the healer and maybe the minions.

I'm currently upgrading my hogs to L3 and for sure i won't upgrade golems, valks and pekkas...
Hopefully this will help you.

upgrade what you use the most, if they are maxed move up a TH lvl.

U can ug the rest in time.

I'm in the same boat as you (all skull walls, only AT's, cannons, lvl 6 teslas and some traps left to upgrade), even didn't found the time to upgrade giants and spells. Looks like you're a hardcore farmer, so you'll have enough time to max out everything in the lab at th 9, that's what I'm about to do.

Thanks for the replies guys

I was always under the impression my lab was lagging behind because I ditched a few UG at Th7 but yes, very active farmer.

Hey a question for you seasoned Th8s, I have been th8 9 days and have upgraded mortars to 6, two wiz towers to level 5 and one is at 4. Once I finished wiz towers, what defensive buildings should I do next? I read somewhere that teslas are important but they take too long..:confused:

Also upgrading BK to level 8.

I wouldn't wait for research to finish everything. Go with the heal spell. Letting your builders go idle for that long would be a shame, you never get that builder time back.

If you check the CoC wiki and look at the cummulative costs, the research time to max TH8 troops is longer than the time it takes to max the defenses. So you didn't do anything wrong and you arent "behind", its just the way it was set up.

9 days?

You must be gemming.

On topic, my order is and always will be splash first then point. When choosing point I go for highest dps except teslas we're darn expensive. So I went canons first. The all gold look deters th7s. Then I did teslas and will do AT last
