Upgrade order of defense in TH9?

Hi All,

I am a TH9 player and after two months of hard-work I have completed all the elixir upgrades (except few lab upgrades). Now I would be primarily focus on DE and Gold farming only. So, my main question here is what would be the upgrade order of below defenses or if you would like to add something to it, please do so.

Xbows level 2-3
Wizard towers level 7
Mortars level 7
Hidden Tesla level 7
Air defense level 7

I mean which ones should I maxout first, so that it would help in a long run. I am just confused right now as all of them seems to be important but I can only upgrade one defense at a time :p

Please help me out guys.

Thanks.

i did cannons mortars and wiz (one at a time) first. then i took xbows to lvl 2. then i started archer towers and did xbows to lvl 3

Ok, I will keep that in mind. Let me see the other responses too.

I'd say L3 Xbows first. Then one AD and one splash or tesla at a time.

definately not AD first thats for sure. AD is always last or second last because even at low levels they arent bad. Also air raids arent very common lower down in trophies. I would say save for the xbows first, then the wizard twrs. personally, and im probably gonna get hate for this, but i think wizzy twrs are the most important defenses until inferno twrs come out. They do wicked damage especially for splash dmg. after that it doesnt really matter much but id say teslas after just cus they can do a lot to pekkas.

I prioritized xbows, air defenses, and teslas now working on splash then point defense.

Reason for air defenses is b/c in clan wars people started resorting to drags after update.

Xbows are good at lvl 3 for all purposes

Teslas are extremely powerful at lvl 7

Mortars are ok

Wiz towers lvl 7 can ruin a farmers day

Archer towers and Cannons I mix into the upgrade order depending on how gold falls.

I do a few walls in between each upgrade or more on the weekends if I can.

DO splash damage like mortars and wiz twr first, also upgrade your CC.

I have got some great suggestions till now. Looking forward to more such responses.

1. clan castle
2. xbows
3. wizard towers
4. mortars
5. air defense
6. teslas
7. cannons
8. archer towers
9. walls

I'm a week in to my TH9. I built both x bows at the same time, and when one finished yestarday I immediatly began the upgrading it to level 2, I have another builder currently working on getting my new defenses up to TH8 levels. The other 3 builders are working on elixir/storage/hero upgrades.

Anyways, once both x bows are at level 2 I'm going to upgrade my wiz towers/mortars/teslas first (one of each at a time), then I'll get both x bows to 3, then once all those are done I'll switch to cannons, ATs, and ADs.

Splash and Air Defense.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am thinking of working on this order. Let me see some more responses before I make my final decision. Thanks anyways :)

Things to consider;

1. I hope you already did your clan castle. it should be the first thing at th9 you spend gold on.

2. Maxed Xbows will always be in the center of your base, they have alot of HP too if you put them by your DE they can soak up major damage. Finish them up ASAP for less re-jigging. Also opens up the 2*2 core if you want to try one of those.

3. Always have a builder on Teslas. They take the longest but once they are maxed they rock and they only take up 4 tiles so they can add damage in a base core while taking up less space.

4. Lvl 7 wizard towers 1 shot lvl 6 archers. They are so expensive though.

5. Mortars are relatively cheap and have a long range. So your Defensive DPS can be helped alot.

I would say work on X-Bows and get them to atleast level 2, then work on Wizard Towers and AD.

I was with full stoarages when i get my TH9 so immedeately started to upgrade both xbows. then new wizard tower and AD started to upgrade.

In clan wars the first thing I look at is the AD. Level 7 AD can two shot max loons, and if it's lower, I know I can loon him. Especially with the uprising of dragons in CW, AD should be up there.

1. CC
2. wiz
3. xbows
4. motars
5. teslas
6. cannons
7. archer towers
8 anti airs

Check out my guide on upgrade priorities :)

If your saying those are your current levels than most of your important stuff is maxed already. If not I'd do it in this order

Clan castle, wizards towers, xbows, air defense, mortars, than points as you see fit. Ive been trying to catch up on my low teslas I had been ignoring in an effort to be able to keep all 4 maxed around de storage in core sometimes

I am not able to find your guide. Could you please share the link over here. Thanks!

Seems you have plenty of suggestions so I won't take up space by saying the same thing someone else likely has but I will add that I am building all the new defenses to at least lvl1 or the max lvl for th8 first then moving on to maxing defenses.

The rest boils down to your preference for winning wars or protecting your loot.

Thanks for your response.

I went ahead with upgrading Xbows to level 2 as most of the peoples suggested. ;)
