I'd like someone else's Perspective.

Hey guys... I'm kind of stuck right now. I'm currently TH8 and recently took all my spare change in and got a bunch of gem money. ;) So currently I'm on the fence on weather I should take the plunge to TH9 or just up all my defenses even more on TH8. The only think is I'm getting kind of bored of TH8.

I'd like to farm more, but I also don't want to drop trophies, as I've become proud to where I stand now. (I was at about 1750).

So tell me guys. If you had this village with that amount of gems, what the hell would you do? I'm honestly stuck! Please give me your opinions! Also would like some tips on a better base, as this layout isn't doing the trick for me. :confused:

Note: Though unlikely, it is possible that I could buy gems in the future. (if that makes any difference, I'm not sure.)

Build a new one without Wb distractions :(

Just at a glance, at the very least get your wizards maxed for TH8 before making the jump. There is a ton still to upgrade, especially a boatload of money on walls, but if you're really bored its just a game might as well go for it. But seriously do upgrade the wizards.

With the gems, I would just keep your barracks constantly boosted so you can farm millions of gold quickly, to upgrade walls and towers.

You gotta long way to go before u need to upgrade to th9... Max your defenses out and walls

Drop your trophy lvl stop upgrading your collectors and farm

Stay put til your defenses are at or near max. Also you should be at lvl 7 walls before you jump

I have considered that. But I'm not on that much to attack over and over.

About where do you think I should drop my trophies to?

1400-1600

You've got a long way to go before TH9. Looking at the fact your giants and WBers are not lvl 5 which suggests your other troops are not upgraded. Also your low lvl cannons, Wizard towers, teslas and walls. I'd suggest being patient and working your way up slowly. Occasionally use your gems to speed up the last few hours or day of an upgrade.

Currently I have barbs, archers, and soon to be goblins maxed for my town hall. Next is wb.

Stay at TH8. Upgrade everything to max, such as camps, troops, Tesla's, etc. inbetween your efforts, upgrade your walls to level 8.

I stayed at TH8 for about 4 months. With the reduced loot for TH9, you will be glad you did.
gem time, don't gem resources.

Just take your time and don't fret. I hear alot of whining coming from th9s not being able to find lewt

I'm th8 maxed cannons/wts working on my black walls and still have a couple months to go

Then wizards, dragons, and pekkas. Plus all the spells too. TH 8 takes a long time. There is no point rushing to TH 9 before your ready. Penalizing your ability to loot before its necessary is not a good idea.

Edit: Also your army camps are not even maxed. Which suggests to me you upgraded to TH8 too early as well.

Thanks everybody for your help! I really appreciate it. This went very troll-free!

I'm a trolling fool but mostly to ppl who complain and whine. Yw

boost ur troops n raid like crazy for 10 hrs straight then upgrade ur th9 to get 2 xbow

Firstly, I really like your base - the design interests me and it really looks good - how does it defend?

I echo some of the viewpoints expressed above. I am TH8 as well, and while I would love to grab those double xbows, unfortunately, I am taking some time to max level, not only my defences, but my pumps/mines (to give me max resources if I'm lucky enough to get free shield), max levelling my troops (not including the new DE Troops, as I'm still waiting for my new DE barracks to finish building) but also most importantly to max level my walls!

However, please remember, there is no right or wrong way, if you really can't stand the wait, then do what you have to, and have fun - enjoy :D

Arent walls the worst? They're like gnats, always there bugging you. I've decided to stick with TH8 and max everything, it will look a lot more badass in the end. Otherwise it'll take me forever to upgrade all the new stuff I unlock at th9 to where all my defenses are at now.

As far as the base goes, it was good before the update but I haven't won anything post-wb ai. It's bothering me but I can't seem to find another th8 base that satisfies me.

This isn't my design, I got it from the design contest thread and can't seem I find the creator. All credit goes to him/her. :)

Oh Yeah walls are the worst! and my COC OCD comes out big time, as I have to upgrade them in a particular way, I can't do every other one or one here or there, I have to do the adjoining cell and complete each segment (I'm crazy!)

I truly hope that you havent rushed to TH9 yet. Remember, there are perks and cons of being a TH9. The perks incloude Archer queen, 20 more troops, more defensive structures, and new walls. The cons are 25% less loot, and 25% more lootable base. Personally, I would drop my trophies to 1200-1400 at TH8. You will find lots of bases there with good loot.

Also, for the first time ever I will share a small part of my farming tactic. What you want is a army camp full of goblins, barbarians, archers, and wallbreakers. You need to find bases with easy, raidable gold. Raiding 100,000 gold by deploying half your troops is better than trying to hit a strong 200,000 gold base which you will have difficulities in taking. The key here is to get as much resources, aswell as deploying the least amount of troops. Use your clan castle troops every 20th minute - they are a good boost, and by deploying them you are saving yourself from deploying 20/25 extra troops. Also, upgrade your defense in this order: Mortar, Wizard towers, Cannons, Archer Towers, and Teslas. You should not be upgrading any mines unless you are busy in real life and wont have the time to farm the founds needed to upgrade those mentioned above.

Instead of gemming resurces - instant gem your troops. It is much cheaper, and by doing so you will raid elixir, gold, and dark elixir instead of just maxing one resource. Good luck with your base, and if you need further help hit me up.

Spike food base!

Thanks for your help Madara. I play maybe 1-2 hours a day so that's the only reason behind upgrading my mines. I plan on upgrading them all the way because meh, free money when I'm not on. :)

Also thank you for letting me know your farming strategy. I will end up dropping a few hundred trophies to see how the farming is.

By the way, wasn't that beetle design yours? I used that design a ton! It was very very effective. :D

Oh I didn't know about you only playing 2 hours per day.. My bad..

Keep all your builders busy. If you have a free one and not the resources to upgrade something, buy some resourses. If you have the resources but no free builders then gem the time to use some resources. Try to use all your resourses before loging off (others will seal from you less). Remember:

1) it is wayyyyy cheaper to gem more resourses (almost twice as expensive to gem just a few 100k gold/elix). Try to time builders so that many of them finish at once, then gem a lot of resources at once (with the +, don't just upgrade something and buy the exact necessary resources), then assign them to the buildings so that all your purchased resources are used up. Repeat.

2) it is wayyyyy cheaper to gem longer build times (gemming 7 days or 11 days is almost the same) gemming 1 day is a waste of gems if you calculate the gem/hr ratio.

3) for the few hours you do play, boost your barracks so you can continuously attack, don't boost them all, just enough of them to keep you attacking constantly. Try to use all your resources before you log off, maybe dump extra gold into walls, MIGHT want to keep one builder free to be able to spend gold on walls.

Good luck!

I suggest u don't upgrade to th9, I'm just th6 but I hear a lot of ppl hate th9, stay at where u are, max ur defenses without gemming and then when u finished upgrade to th9 and gem xbows, AQ, other new stuff in th9 and u will be good
