I'm currently facing a crossroads in the game. This is my base as we speak:

I now must decide wether to upgrade my TH to level 9, in order to unlock the Queen-Archer and other important upgrades, like Giants lvl 6 etc.
Or should I stay in TH8 and max everything.
What do you reckon?
I am in the same position and I suggest waiting it out! You still got quite a few things to worry about. Your WT, point defenses, storages, and mines are under-leveled and should be upgraded before you go to TH9. And your barracks too!? At least get those to lv 9. If you want to fully benefit from being a TH9 you must first have at least max offense and/or defense. Plus I do not see any lv 8 walls... :eek:Quote:

Secondly upgrade your wizard towers to lv 6 and the BK to lv 10 (if possible), so then you can focus on upgrading your new weapons such as x bows (cost 3 mil to make, 5 mil to lvl 2 and 7 mil to lv 3), the extra wizard tower, extra tesla and archer tower and for your new AQ (40k to make, 22500 to lvl 2, 25000 to lvl 3 and so on)
Go to TH9. You're ready. Walls look good and defenses are good enough. Enjoy!
I don't think you are ready... I'm a bit ahead of where you are and I figure I have at least a month before I hit the upgrade button.
I'd guess that you have a ways to go on lab upgrades also... You may think that things will get easier once you upgrade to TH9, xbow, queen, stronger tier one and two troops but in reality it only gets harder. You become a prime target for TH10's and you lose the ability to raid TH7's for near full loot...
my mini is a th8 and I'm close to being maxed minus the walls and my hero being lvl 10. I would wait it out and max everything even those walls before going to th9.
You have a few options, in my opinion.
a. Max everything - Defenses, Lab, Walls, other buildings
b. Max everything except walls (at least level 7 walls)
c. Max everything except walls (with level 7 walls), then push as high as you can in trophies, and use whatever gold you get along the way for skulls.
d. Max everything except walls (Level 7+ walls) then drop to Bronze 3 and live off your collectors while you upgrade to TH 9. (the lazy option)
TH8 is the worst place to stay for long time... it's pretty much like TH7 (only 200 troops, not much more defenses), easy target for TH7+ and can't even revenge TH9. better skip TH8 and go directly to TH9.Quote:

this is horrible advice. At th8 you are relatively safe from the th10 farmers. Once you hit th9 the th10s and good th9s with decent heroes will feast on you with giant based armies and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Plus, you are now eliminating all those nice easy th7s from your farming efforts.Quote:

With the demise of hogs, giants are now the only army that is a viable farming option in gold leagues (loons take too long to cook to really be efficient until you get to th10 and can farm up in masters) and walls are the best defense against those big hairy beasts.
