So, I have maxed my base and walls for th8 and I am currently moving to th9.
Any advice you guys could offer me would be great, like.... Whats the best thing to build/upgrade first. I have 5 builders. I know i need to do my spell factory and lab.

Same here, 1 week away from finishing. Here is what I plan on doing with builders, and it's probably what everybody will advise you to do too:
1) xbow
2) xbow
3) spell factory
4) lab
5) AQ, new buildings, then AQ 2nd lvl
At what point would you advise camps? These will be important bc we are war clan with back to back clan wars. The 20 extra spaces could make a huge difference.Quote:

I would suggest AQ first. There is zero build time and it's the best addition for a TH9. xbows and spell factory next, then camps.
This is what I did;Quote:

5. Army Camp - unless you don't have enough elixer, start building the new defenses. Build up elixer while these short term upgrades are going then buy another army camp.
second round
1. Army Camp
2. Lab
3. Xbow - keep a builder on these until they are maxed
4. Tesla - keep a builder on these until they are maxed
5. Upgrading other new defenses.
Always update your offense first.
for me, it was 1 builder on lab, 1 on spell factory, 1 on camps and 1 on defences, if I had 5 then it would have been 2 on defence instead.
Yeah that was a definite 1st but I omitted that in regards to the builders due to 0 build time. I cant wait to have her. Archer queen is a beast.Quote:

Defenses are somewhat important as we are a 24/7 war clan. Anything to help ward off three stars is always a positive. But offense is important as wellQuote:

i would do camps asap. when i first hit th9 that was one of the best things i did. 20 extra troops works out well
Upgrade offense first because it's more beneficial for clan matchmaking.Quote:

One of the beauties of rushing TH is we rusher only upgrade useful troops to max (ex. balloon) and we only get matched with lower offenses/defenses opponents.
As for your new TH9, i would suggest:
1) AQ & XBows the day your TH9 is done, so keep your storages full a day before.
2) Lab
3) Spell Factory & camps
4) Defenses if you are good farmer, if not collectors first.
I only had 4 builders but this is how i started when i got to town hall 9.
1) Lab
2) build archer queen if you can and then start upgrading camps
3) start building all your new defensive buildings and once they are done then start upgrading them to the same level as your current defenses
4) build your new de drill
Once you get your lab up and running start upgrading your archers, barbs and giants. Getting your camps upgraded is a priority as well because the extra 20 troops are useful.
This is the one to listen to.Quote:

good luck and have fun, th9 is a blast but th10 is even better :-)
The worst thing about TH9 is nexting for hours and finding anything...

1) You can get AQ lvl 2 straightaway if you have nearly max DE storage when you reach TH9. This is worth doing, brings you nearer the all-impt lvl 5 ability and only takes 12hrs of builder time.
2) Defences (xbows) appear in CW even if they haven't finished building them.
3) If you have TH10 clanmates with strong golems, prioritise CC because with 30 space you can bring a lvl 5 golem into CW. For a new TH9, that makes a massive difference.
4) I would do in the following order: AQ to lvl 2 (then some of the new buildings), spell factory, lab, CC, xbow.
If you have enough elixir and raid a lot it might be worth doing camps instead of xbow. Don't worry about not having xbows in CW. For one they are somewhat over-rated, does less dps than a tesla. For another having them or not is factored into CW matchmaking. That being the case, might as well do camps, which are useful for farming too. But the start of TH9 is extremely elixir-heavy (don't forget to factor in lab upgrades once it is done), you might need to build xbows to balance resource usage.
i would do
1. archer queen
2. lab
3. spell factory
4. both xbow if you have the gold
5. other new upgrade or an army camp if you have elixir
Th9 is a lot of fun, there's no reason to be nervous ;).
Xbows are nice but they can wait. Lvl 1's aren't entirely too powerful either and tying up a builder for 7 days at 3mil each isn't the wisest of choices IMO...especially when you've got so many new things to make/upgrade and essentials like the lab, spell factory, camps, and definitely the new elixer storage.
You'll also want to get those drills going asap. Yes, they are costly but two max lvl 6 drills are 4800 de/day just sitting. You definitely want to optimize on that.
Personally, I would do:
1) Lab
2) Spell factory (another spell is huge, and especially if you even remotely war)
3) CC/1 xbow (your choice as xbows can wait, but the CC is pretty much your most valued defense) A lvl 5 CC also allows you to hold a Golem/Hound, and increases war loot capacity.
4) New elix storage (all research besides barbs are 6mil each, 6mil is your cap at TH8 so you will want to be able to hold more so you aren't going bankrupt after starting each research)
5) 5th builder on new structures (Get Queen first, then work on at least making each new defense). Then gradually build them up to TH8 lvl.
Then as builders free up work on camps and drills when you can (camps probably first as you'll want the extra 20 camp space).
GL. Hall 9 is quite fun.
Just got th9 2 days ago
this what i do
upgrade
queen
lab
camp
xbow
xbow
Probably spell factory next or some other
did anyone know when spell boost end?
Same as op.. 6 hrs untill th upgrade.. Scared of loot but still excited for queen and purple archers😁
Good thread to refer.. This is what ill be doing.
1 lab 2 CC 3 spell f 4 queen to lvl 2
5th builder already busy on mortar or else i would have done a camp/elixir storage. After this id start my xbows...then new defences to th8 ..max xbows..max splash and so on
I reached th9 a week ago. What i did is buy first every new item.
Mainly aq, xbow and couple of new defense and storages.
I do lab first.
Clan castle is next target
I skip upgrading spell fact since there is still one gem boost.
Dont worry about the loot. The loot is okay you just need to attack effectively.
If you want to farm to upgrade your defenses, then offense is more important.. :)Quote:
