Should i save up my resources?

I 'm a th7 going to th8 in about 5 days and I'm wondering if i should fill up my storages or just leave it be and take some time off from clashing.

PS: if i fill up my storages I will keep getting raided cause I'm in gold 2

Fill those suckers up! you can always get a couple 100k back once they're full but your gonna want those resources once your done upgrading.

I had to be off during my TH8 upgrade, so I had less than 1 million gold after the upgrade, but I did fine. It's helpful to fill them, but not crucial. Just make sure you have at least 1.5 million elixir (which I did) for the lab when the TH finishes.

Fill up now. Bring all you can. Attacking and defending as a young TH8 will not be as fun as when senior TH7.
