the loot penalty is too high for th9 in gold 3.move to gold 1 and have atleast 17k de ,you will start trying about th9 bullying you
Agree with most posts. Gold 3 is a hair too low for TH9s to use army comps to get in that center. Alot of TH9s in Gold 3 are probably using Barch raiding. Normally not carrying the "plow through your base" composition since Gold 3 isnt worth it. Definitely go up to Gold 2 or 1.
You see many more TH9s. I know because I'm a TH8 (in Gold 2) with half lvl 8 walls and TH outside and I get raided by TH9s when I have more than 20K dark. In fact, when I had 32K DE...I had 2 TH9s take 2K dark each. I was not happy that day.
Id say good luck getting raided???
In Gold 3 currently, Got some TH9s raided me for DE but they failed.;)
While I was maxed TH8 and hang around Gold I 1850-1950, it's an immediate snipe / roll-over when offline (5-10 minutes) when my defense give 300k each and DE 1k-2k range. If TH10/TH9 wants to attack, it's an easy 2 stars (sometimes 3) and 2-3 storages (each) destroyed.
When I go down to Gold II or III 1400-1600, I can be offline for 1-2 hours without being attacked.
Most full attacks only 1-2 stars. 1-2 storages (each) destroyed and rarely touch my DE (except lightning)
Surely there are, and you've been lucky facing none of them :D
When I upgraded to TH9, just with giants level 6 and the remaining troops maxed out for a TH8, I was able to 2 star any TH8, even the maxed ones, destroying at least the 65% of the base. Blindfolded.
Most of the TH9s in gold 3 are premmies hiding from other TH9s and TH10s and trying to scrape by using collectors and 50k raids. They probably have TH8 (or even TH7) offenses. Gold I is as low as I can go before the loot starts drying up.
There's no reason for a th9 to go to gold3. All you find there are th7 and the loot penalty means it's not worth hitting them. Besides if you hang around down there you get de zapped to death. TBH thats a little low for a th8 too. You should probably be at 1600 to farm.
If you want to test your defences you could come up to gold1 or crystal3. I'll be happy to relieve you of some loot :)
Spot on. Also why I agree that a "TH8 hybrid or Trophy base" is pointless. When you go high trophies, you get steam rolled by TH9! No reason to ever put TH inside IMO @TH8, might as well leave it out and score some free shields off lower ranked TH8s who are sniping and thus won't take resources.
Not to thread jack but his signature is interesting: "The "max everything rule" only applies to those who rely on their pumps and collector raids"
So is he saying if you do storage raids you will need stronger troops and thus should upgrade before maxed?
I'm near maxed TH8 (minus walls) but planning on staying there for awhile because once I upgrade, I get a 50% drop in resources from a TH7, right?
