Which Town Hall level do you feel is the best?

I am sitting at a half to 6/10 maxed out Town Hall 7 base. The loot is pretty solid at around 1200 trophies and I was wondering if I should start the 8 day Town Hall 8 upgrade and finish the remaining upgrades. Better troops, P.E.K.K.A.S., more defenses, I think Golem potential, and defensive buildings like cannons and archers get a 2 upgrade gap giving you better defense. I can imagine Town Hall 9 gets pretty crazy with X Bows and a Queen. I don't want to rush if it isn't worth it. But should I completely max out Town Hall 7 before going up? Is the loot gonna go way down? Are the defenses offered here not able to keep me well defended? Lotta questions but am just wondering, thanks! :cool:

I'm Town Hall 9 at lvl 90ish. Looking back I'd say TH7 was the best TH to stay at, and TH8 was OK too (though lvl 5 troops not nearly as impressive upgrade as lvl3 to lvl4), but at lateish TH8 you really started to get the feel for what the later town hall levels had in store... just a huge huge grind and your builder's sleeping cause there is just no way to gather the resources you need for upgrades without attacking for hours on end or gemming. Now at TH9 it's a huge pain to get any upgrade and I dread the day I do actually manage to max my stuff and have to think about TH10, which is even worse.

At late TH7 at around the trophies you are at, you're really as strong as you can be in the game without maxing out your base at TH10 by gemming. At TH8 no matter how strong you are, you get hogged, ballooned, attacked with lvl 6 troops etc frequently and have to stay at higher trophies to gain loot, and at TH9 it gets much much worse still. But TH7's don't get attacked like that cause the higher level players gain little loot from your base due to the loot penalty.

i went with maxing defense before upgrade, new troops are ok but not great until they are upgraded. now up to th 9 and still not had idle builders.

I kinda miss TH5 and 6. lol

TH7 & 8 are fun to raid at because you get good loot from collector raids on th7-10. I maxed th7 and enjoyed doing so. Golems and pekkas aren't all that until you research them once or twice so don't go to th8 just for those 2 troops.

Not really sure the definition of best here:

At TH7, it the best TH for me for the loot, no problems maxing everything here with very little game time.

TH8 gives me the most motivation as there are lotsa upgrades which made my base much stronger, I really like it when my Teslas starting killing Level 6 archers with 1 zap.

At TH9, overflowing DE (2 max drills) and AQ + XBows is pure-win. Best TH for me to stay for the longest and farm without missing out laboratory times and heroes upgrade time.

Okay, it seems like Town Hall 7 is a good place to sit for a little. To me, it sounds like Town Hall 9 is the level to be!:D I almost think I'll work on my air defenses and upgrade the town hall. The faster I get there the better, how long does a Town Hall 8 take to get close to max?

I can't really remember TH1 to Th5, as it only takes like two weeks to rush through them.

So far, I like TH9 the best, TH8 the least.
TH7 and Th6 were also very cool, especially TH6 with the old loot system and a full goblin army, lol.

th7 introduces dragons, hogs, bk... th7 all the way.

Most fun for me was TH8
Quick easy armies to take loads of loot
Plus I'd learned how to play the game by then.

From memory 7 & 8 were the most enjoyable, TH9 feels like more of a grind than 7 & 8

Really!? See even 8 I imagined being a big grind, with the 2 upgrade gap for cannons and archers and other stuff that it kind of sucked :/ But TH 8 is an enjoyable level of gameplay? And do you remember how long it took you to max a TH 8, let's say from a maxed TH7, how long to max a town hall 8?

It really depends on activity and amount of builders you have. IIRC it took me around 3 months (I am not very active) to max TH8 (not including walls). The grind in TH9 is much tougher because of the loot penalty and stuff are really expensive. TH8 can be considered enjoyable loot-wise, but at the same time hogs and balloonians will be knocking on your door often so you need to raid smart and efficiently.

TH7 was awesome. By far the best group of unlocked things of any new TH.

I enjoyed TH7 the most, but since I'm now TH8 I can't go back :p

But it's not as bad as I thought as TH8, decent troops and defence levels.

Only thing I dislike is that one still has the same army capacity like at TH7... but hey, less elixir stuff to upgrade! :P

As a maxed TH10 I have still only used a pekka once or twice. They really arent that great.

As for THs my favourite by far is TH9. You have enough fire power to reach champ or you can farm as low as 1400.

TH9
Because
- Storage raids with lvl6 giants / lvl6 balloons
- AQ
- Best total resources (Gold+DE)
- Farming for lvl9-10 walls is fun. Lvl 7-8 walls are too easy to do.
- Don't have to rely on collector bases. And don't have to skip maxed TH9 bases with 400k gold.

I'd say max every Th as best you can, depends how you like to play though. Loot is still ok at Th8, but the start of it will be hard work. At the very least make sure you have maxed out all your troops and spells needed for farming, having underpowered troops for your Th level is the biggest mistake you can make in the game.

As far as which Th level is the best, that would be Th10 unquestionably OR what would be the point of the farming/gemming?

Take your time with the game you have a long way to go and Th8 is the first very long Th level to max.

Miss TH 7

Townhall 7 the best for me

TH10

- you have infernos
- you have freeze spell

Th7 & Th8

I was a Th7 before the changes to the loot system. Th7 was a looting paradise. That was bad in the day when 1 mil an hour was possible. I wasn't as skilled back then though so I tended to use Giant/Healer and wasn't so hot with Barch. But I remember getting 400K raid with mass dragons lvl 2 on Th9 players who didn't give there Air Defenses proper attention and dropping lightning of fat DE storages of high level players in low leagues. Then having them steamroll me for pennies. WAHHAHHAHAH

Th8 was great to

It was the first Th level where I could reasonable expect my defenses to actually prevent massive loot loss. Now hogs are much more common place and giants are tougher now than when I was Th8. But again this was a th level I could reasonable expect to make 1 mil an hour and it where I really mastered Barch and BAM. I'd often impress clan mates by hitting a Th9 hard with only Barch (and a few giants sprinkled in) with a level 8-10 BK out front and cleaning up 200K of each resource in the process. Dragons where still powerful but back then infernos only had single target mode, so tackling them wasn't an option with dragons. Still I often overwhelmed preamture Th10 players with Barch. I remember ending my TH8 days with Giants/Hogs and archers, back before the second nerf to hogs. Push farming crystal was rather fun back then.

I hated Th9, honestly.

The loot change happened about mid-way through my development as a Th9. Loot was hard to find because everything was in flux and I was getting hogged so often my head was spinning. Crystal became a desert so I ventured down into gold. Though, honestly I was questioning my playing of the game about here because mathematically the only way to make a profit while raiding was using strategies like barch. Even using giant/healer proved to expensive to maintain. I didn't want to only Barch so I am generally happy with the changes to the looting system. I eventually made a bid for masters III and failed against the might of disco infernos, which also meant Barching TH10 had officially became impossible even if they were premature. This is when I really became a loonatic. So I hit Th10 in Masters III, once I realized that going for 50% was much easier than trying to core a base (and far cheaper)

I don't mind Th10

I have in generally been able to do pretty well in Masters III with my loons. I am only now running into trouble as my Archer Towers and Cannons are the last buildings that need attention. With 7.5 mil for 7 days and 6.5 for 6 days, they simply demand too much gold per day. Also 6.5 is on the cheaper side of upgrades as a Th10 and your storages are only good for 8 mil. Really things would of been much easier if I could of simply stored enough for 2 upgrades while working on Wizard towers, infernos, mortars and Air Defenses. I even had times where I didn't collect from my mines because my storages where full. But that was because EVERY upgrade took more than half of what I could store. Anyway, having inferno towers is a big blessing. Hogs aren't half the trouble they use to be and most players won't bother with my base unless I climb into Masters II territory where freeze and GoWiWi make allot of trouble for me. I am also finally getting the hang of dragons at Th10, so I can 2 star bases a little easier in clan wars. My bk has hit 25 and my queen is working up to 21, so I feel pretty good about my hero levels - which become essential to get more than 1 star on a semi-advanced Th10.

I'm about a month and a half through TH8 and I only have 2 levels on my teslas left and 100 walls left, which will be easy once I start pouring all my gold into walls. I am a fairly active player (230 wins so far this season). Good luck and definitely max out TH7.

This was a pretty good thread to read everyone's Clash adventure, so here's mine:

I rushed all the way up to TH7 cause I thought the TH was the biggest and baddest building of them all. (Noob)

I stayed at TH7 and maxed all my defenses, walls, and regular elixir troops. (going back would have tried some DE upgrades)

Went to TH8 as maxed TH7 made the transition easier. I took pride in making my base look equal to the TH that I was not at. I have my TH8 maxed defensively as soon I finish my last upgrades (3 teslas finishing lvl 6 upgrades) and once again I feel the sense of accomplishment that I did at TH7.

Maxing the upgrades for TH means less work to do at the next one since at each TH it get's a little bit harder since upgrades get more expensive and you get raided by heavier troops. People who rush their base do so because they are very active raiders and have fun with the offensive troops they get at each new TH and props to them for playing the game their own way, but at the end of the day they have a ton of work to do.

That being said with the introduction of clan wars a balanced defensive base for your TH lvl is pretty important so max your current base at TH7 learn to attack well with hogs/dragons for clan wars then when you are ready to go TH8 where hogs rule. If you max your base properly you should finish walls/defenses within a reasonably close amount of time.

Figure out how many upgrades you have total and do the necessary amount of walls in between each upgrade to do so.

Moral of the story - Don't rush it and plan your building upgrades accordingly so you never have to have a huge wait on builders that will help you finish the fastest.

TH7-8 because the loot and it is just fun

That's really awesome! Man TH 9 sounds so tempting right now haha but I'm gonna wait and do it the right way cuz I'm not trying to ruin my game. But good to know I have something to look forward to :)

My main acct; I always maxed each TH level and have never regretted it. (with exception of a few lab upgrades here and there, and TH6. I always skipped that one, not enough upside IMO) it always helps when you are at the new TH if you don't have to play catch up!

on my Alt; I rushed to TH9, making pit stops at TH5 & TH7 to max out, and TH8 to get my farming troops to lvl 5 (minions to 4) and splash towers and tesla's maxed out...

looking back I had the most success in TH7 it was and probably always will be the best TH below 9.
TH7 has so much to offer, 4 camps (200 troops) 4th Barrax, Dark Rax, Dark storage, BK.. Teslas! man so much fun, the loot pours in and it can be maxed at a very high rate, upgrades aren't very long, and considering your daily income potential its not even bad for the wall grind.. (I used to think 200k for a wall was ridiculous, lol 1.5x more for skulls made me re-consider that!)

TH4,6,8.. these to me well not 8 so much, but these didn't offer much over their prior THs, esp TH6, to this day I will never be at TH6 for any length of time.. any of the upgrades you skip over in TH6 can be farmed so easily in TH7 it wont matter if you skip along IMO...it is worth it to max farming troops and most defenses in TH 8 however, but still, with no camp upgrades, or spell upgrade its really a glorified TH7 to me.. so on my 2nd try I just rushed through it.. to be fair though, TH8 is a loot grab TH too, with the lvl5 troops I never had income problems (my problems came from defending the lvl 6 troops)

TH9 had a rough start needing so much elixir to get your offensive prowess started, but once you get 3-4 level 6 troops you can start dominating on raids and the loot really starts to add up. ( I feel the same can be said of a maxTH8->toTH9 as well) its tough adjusting to the loot penalty, and finding a profitable farming compo and trophy range.)

TH7 is the most fun, but that fun is somewhat limited, no dark drill, 3 spells lvl 4 troops.. are kinda limiting.. but the amount of THs at your disposal is vast, and as a result the loot pours into upgrades like nothing!

TH9 is my FAVORITE TH, The AQ, X-bows, 4th Wiz tower/Adef and Storages make defending much more enjoyable when watching replays (about a month out from Max 9 on my main, well with skull walls) as far as defensive turrets and lab upgrades.. so I may be premature in my thinking here, but TH10 seems like a real long Defensive grind..cant wait for the infernos tho TBH!

TH7 is the best for loots-to-max ratio to me this is where the teeth and claws start growing for Beast-mode-Clashing..while you max a TH. and where raiding to max matters most, if you skip over this rich TH, you could be setting yourself back IMO

TH9 is the more refined and well rounded TH in the game.

Good thread monn!

Th6 and th8 are the best.

th7 is de best!!

I liked th7 alot because of all the new toys wich i used extensively. BK, drags, minions, hogs.

As far as loot, TH8 was the best. lvl 5 Barch really is strong for getting loot. by far the biggest troop upgrade for me was lvl 4 - 5. also you'r base becomes so much more powerfull at th8 with all the deffense upgrades. If you max out (wich i alway's do) you can give any attack a run for it's money other then lvl 5 hogs.

After spending a month and a half at th9 i just got my dark rax able to make witches wich is fun. Im also using the ringus base wich i wanted to use forever after he made that thread about it. it's really effective. Loot is deffinetly not nearly as good as th8 though.

It will take you 6-8 months to max th8 including walls and heros if you don't gem, stay at 7 get everything about maxed start the upgrade. By the time you finish th upgrade yiu should be maxed. This way the transition from 7-8 isn't so harsh

For war there is nothing better than TH 7 and and TH 8 as far as ease of offense IMO. Farming has been very comfortable at those TH levels too although TH 8s become vulnerable to 9s and even 10s with a reduced loot penalty.

Th9 has been my favorite so far, as it gives you some great offensive upgrades (maxed balloons, archer queen), which imo, make the game a lot more fun. Th8 had to be my least favorite as i repeatedly got stomped by th9s the entirety of it.

When I was in th8...I thought that was pretty good too until I was defenseless against lvl6 tier1 troops. TH9 defenses definitely helps counter the imbalance...so I am getting attacked less. I'm enjoying my 1.5 months at Th9 more so far.

EDIT: th9 is where most troops are maxed...thats another plus in my book.

I'm at 7 now and it seems to be fairly easy to get 100 each. Using mainly archers and goblins, pretty cheap. Does it get impossible to do the same up at 8?

Im at the middle of th 8 about half my upgrades done and im already feelin the drain so i completely agree with u

I think level 3 is best

Level 5 troops are great for farming, and loot is better but no more th6 raids, so...

if you can attack well, then max 8/10 or 9/10 then upg
if you can't attack well max everything

No it is not impossible and actually easier with lvl 5 barch. It's only difficult as a new th8 with lvl 4 troops.

th 8 is da best,but 7 is okay too

Yeah I think I'm gonna make the jump today from 7 to 8! My air defenses are at 4, and most of the archers and cannons are 8. My splash damage is maxed. My walls however are 1/4 of the way maxed for TH 7 :/ will that be a huge problem?

Currently at 8 but so far, I feel that 7 is a little bit better.

There's just so much upgrades at th8 which most are very expensive though don't get me wrong, I still find it awesome and exciting to have so much yet in store. Getting the resources for those upgrades is feeling more and more of a grind compared to the previous th.

Stay at th 7. I am currently th 10 and the loot is terrible. Make sure you get everything you can out of th 7.

Town Hall 8 for me, so far.

With four builders it took me about 107 days.

See the link in my post for a full break-down of the TH8 process.

I would say stay at th7 until you ahve no more lab upgrades left and then move on to th8.

Awesome thread! Read through all of it and completely agree. I'll listen to that and I have 5 builders so would it be better to keep him working on upgrades or to just just have him work on walls?

Loved TH7, was able to max my base very quickly and efficiently. Hated TH8, the loot was great but just couldn't stand not being able to upgrade camps. I've been at TH9 for over a month (didn't max everything) and I love it. Loot is good, upgrade of camps and troops is perfect for what i farm for and I've been getting a ton of DE to upgrade my heroes. I have zero incentive to move up to Th10 because 9 is the right spot for me.
