Need opinions on TH9 Upgrade

Hello fellow chiefs!

I wanted to kind of poll the community to get some outside opinions on if I should upgrade to townhall 9. I want to make sure I'm not rushing it too much , but I've also read a lot that it's better to upgrade and have fun with the game versus be bored grinding walls etc.

I am currently a townhall 8 with all defenses and building maxed, all elixir based troops are maxed hidden tesla @ 6, all traps maxed level 5 bombs (since update), all dark troops @ level 2. Barb king is at 6, max is ten.

All I have left is a few dark troops and level 8 walls to go for full max, but I don't see myself grinding walls, so based on where I'm at, should I upgrade ?

I feel like since I've put so much effort into townhall 8, that I would have a bomb base getting those xbows and extra spells even jump.

finish the walls and do the dark troops. dont ever upgrade until troop upgrades are done, especially heroes and DE Troops.

DE is a lot harder to farm at TH9.

Your lab will always be behind the rest of your base, don't waste time with it. Just do as many skulls as you can before the town ends and you'll be fine, you are holding yourself back if you don't go th9.

I would absolutely upgrade. You shouldn't even try maxing DE troops at th8 when you get a second drill, that goes up to level 6 at th9, as well as a giant increase in offense. It only gets easier to farm/obtain DE as you get higher.

Personally, I would go ahead and grind out walls now. You will have to play catch up with the new walls, but after that you really won't need to worry about walls until town hall 10. Of course, it would be beneficial to get at least legos before 10, but the skulls would suffice IMO.

I really hope this is a joke.

You dont need to max your dark troops, youll have 2 lvl 6 Drills and raiding DE is much easier at TH9 anyways. I'd start TH upgrade and do as much skulls as you can during the 10(?) days it upgrades. You need to keep yourself entertained with the game and maxing out everything is kinda boring and keeps you behind because all your builders are sleeping

I disagree. It seems to me that DE is easier to farm the higher your TH, as long as you prioritize your offensive upgrades.

Im currently maxing walls. 72 lv7 walls left. I just play the game normally and its still fun for me. I maxed everything else out(except valks and golems.) Im tryng to save for valks upgrade it costs 50k and i have 32k so i might get it.

I was in the same boat as you a while back. I ground out my walls and my builders were idle for 2-3 weeks as I didnt have a lot of time to raid. In hindsight, I should of started the TH upgrade and hammered out as many walls as possible while it upgraded.

My advice would be to get your BK to 10 while doing walls. Use your DE for that not valks. As soon as your BK is done start the TH upgrade. You should have your walls done (or close) by the time you hit th9. Make sure your storages are full as well cuz you will need it all the first day at 9.

My advice is to max your mortars and wizard towers at the very least before upgrading to 9. I rushed it to unlock my queen and regretted it for a couple weeks.

Also if you barbarch, max them to 6 as quickly as humanly possible. It makes farming at TH9 much more reasonable!

I was thinking of this^, I've seen a lot of people say gold becomes scarce but DE comes easier for th9 so it would make sense to upgrade my BK to 10 so he can be a decent asset to base defense, I see so many th8 and th9 during battles at level 1.

I had the same game plan during the upgrade to fill storages so as soon as it's finished I can get the Xbows and I think I would start giants 6 and then use any remaining elixir to begin upgrading a camp or two to maximize attacking right off the bat.

you will just delay your boredness and you will be super board once you rush and max all your defeneses and buildings and then have to do level 7-11 walls as the only thing you can upgrade for the rest of the game. i do walls and upgrade buildings at the same time.

once a builder is free i put the gold in walls and the rest goes to the next upgrade i need to do. Why are you guys not doing this? when a builder gets free what do you guys do just automatically go to the next upgrade leaving the rest of your left over gold in the storages?
