When I upgrade my TH to 9, my condition was more or less like you with one difference. Honestly I've got a 4th builder today only. Now, since you got 5 builders right of the bat, your condition can be improved faster.Quote:

My last two brain cells are playing freeze tag, so please bear with me. After reading everything, it seems that I should immediately build up my troops, army camps, archer towers, mortars and cannons, no? After that, focus on the walls? I know that I need to keep my elixir and gold down as I'll be an easy target.
I've read a ton of threads and it's just confusing the hell out of me, so I appreciate the help.
In general you want to focus on offense first. If your defense is very under-leveled, it will take a very long time for it to be upgraded. So just assume a 100% loss every time, and plan accordingly. If you increase your offense, at least you will be able to raid enough to continue upgrading things.Quote:

If you need any more information, let me know, but I think this is what you're looking for.
I'm not sure if you mentioned your TH level, but I didn't see it. The advice would change a lot depending where you are from TH8-TH10. I should have specified that, sorry. Also your current trophy level.
Again, in general, focus on offense. So that means maxing those army camps, and focusing your troop upgrades on the troops you use. Your best bet right now will be barbarians and archers, because they are fast, cheap, and highly effective troops that all players use at all levels.
You'll want to use those barbs and archers to find bases with full collectors (not storages) that are outside the walls. Again, assume you will be crushed 100% when you log off, but don't let that bother you. This game is about attacking. So don't break your shield unless you can be on to launch several raids, then try to spend whatever you can before you log off.
Edit: I saw an earlier pic that you have TH9. Ok, all hope is not lost. I would recommend a trophy range around 1500, and just focus your barbs and archers on picking off collectors. You can visually tell (especially for elixir pumps) how full they are. It will be tedious at first, but it is possible to recover.
This is my suggestion for recovery program:Quote:

2. While doing that, use another 2 builders to upgrade your army camps as max as possible. This will allow you to deploy sizable army while consistenly upgrading your troops.
3. Use another builder to upgrade spell factory /gold mines/ collectors/ laboratory whenever you got spare resources to do so. These buildings cost less than others, so you can do this between army camps upgrade.
4. Use your last builder to keep building walls. At this point, the best way to not being raided is to not having gold in your loot. No point in trying to defend yourself. Just keep low at silver league. Phase 1 ends when you've maxed your army camps.
Phase 2:
1. Your targets are bases rich with elixirs. Gold is still not critical. Use this elixir to upgrade your troops to the max.
2. Use 2 builders to upgrade spell factory/ gold mines/ collectors/ drills and any other resources oriented buildings.
3. Use another 2 builders to work on your defense towers, starting with anything that does splash damages first like mortars, wizard towers, etc.
4. Use your last builder to keep upgrading walls or heroes whenever you got enough resources to do so.
5. At this point, trying to defend yourself is still a low priority, but you can recover your lost by overwhelming your targets with superior army number. This phase ends when you got your max upgrade troops (lvl 6).
Phase 3:
1. At this point, farming won't that much problem for you since you already got max camp and troops upgrade. Keep your lab busy upgrading spells and dark creatures.
2. Use one builder to upgrade your barracks / dark barracks.
3. Use 3 builders to upgrade your defenses. Whichever you feel like.
4. Use 1 builder to concentrate on x-bow.
5. You should have ample defense by this time, at least against TH 8 tryists or other premmie TH 9. So you can begin to actually pile up your gold for higher level upgrade like x-bows. Having 1 builder dedicated to x-bow keep your base strong (I've learned upgrading them both at once wasn't the smartest idea). This phase ends when your x-bows are maxed. Stay in gold league for more tangible loot.
Phase 4:
1. At this step, you'd want to make your base looks like a real TH 9.
2. Get whatever upgrade (laboratory/ barracks) that require elixir. By this time, elixir shouldn't be a problem. You'll be sitting at 6-7 mill all the time.
3. Use 3 builders to keep upgrading your defenses. Air defs are a good idea here. And tesla too if you haven't upgrading them.
4. Use 1 builder to keep on your heroes.
5. Use 1 builder to do the walls. Should be around lvl 8-9 walls at this time.
6. This phase ends after you have completed your remaining defenses. Try higher gold or crystal for more loot. The occasional pushing is also a good idea if you get bored.
Phase 5:
1. Now you're real TH 9 ! Elixir wasn't that important anymore. Just do whatever you want with them.
2. Concentrate on farming dark elixir. Use 1 or 2 builders for heroes.
3. Have 1 builder for walls and the other 2 for whatever you want.
4. Make crystal your home, do the push to master if you want, try different army combos.
5. Prepare yourself for TH 10 (if you want). Now you know not to go premmie anymore.
6. Have fun. Happy clashing.
Thanks @boardguest, I appreciate the response.
First, upgrade your lab... this is the most important thing.
And you have to get at least lv. 5 barbarian and Lv.5 archers, they are very strong
If you have gem, then gem this progress, if not you can progress slowly...
when your lab and troops is upgrading, you have to focus on spell factory upgrade and army camps upgrade. Get them to the best levels you can.
forget your def first and always dump your gold into walls so you're not getting farmed
once you have both lv.5 archers and barbarians, 3/4 spells to use and 200+ camps space...
you should have no problem playing on gold league
Skype me Xmodz14 for gem háck
Please advise....I only have one Apple device and unsure how to restart my village, but this just seems painful either way... =(
