Maxing dark to ops at 8 is pointless you'll surely gave builders doing nothing at some point if you try to max dark troops at 8. I'm saving them for 9. Especially since I've never used them.

This just goes against what my entire thought process is.Quote:

Why not max them at th8 when you have the time/resources.
When you move to th9 you'll have so much more you'll need to upgrade, ie: the archer queen.
I plan on maxing all de troops before going to th9.

It's much easier to think, "38 skull walls in 15 days before th9," rather than, "sheesh, I have 38 darn skull walls to finish up yet before th9." Patience is key in this game and listing things out, I find, helps give you that. Bighundy is right. Eventually you will need them. IMO also, there's a plus side in being able to truly say, "I am a 'maxed' base," and really mean it.Quote:

In the end it's what you want to get out of the game, so its up to you how you want to play it. If you want to rush your base then more power to you. But you're creating more work for yourself. I think that's why a lot of people end up quitting because they let so many upgrades pass them by, especially walls, due to "necessity." Those stack up at some point and I can see that becoming pretty overwhelming for them in the future.
It's nice to meet some other th8's tht aren't rushed, I've maxxed my Splash buildings and AD's, and I'm about to start My Archer towers to 9, I'm 5k DE from king to 5 aswell. Anyone have tips for farming DE?
Not even close to max at all :'(
lv5 : Barb , Archer , Wizard , Rage
Lv2 : Hog , Healer
Lv6 : Bk
Lv3 : Dragon
Pekka , Golem unlocked
138 Level 8 walls left 87 walls
Defense all max except Archer tower , Hidden testa and Cannons others are capped at TH8
Half of traps are maxed :P
Elixir collector all level 7
Gold Mine 1 lv9 , 1 lv8 , 4 lv7
Goldgrab : 190 mil
ElixirEscape : 170.4 mil
Level 67 sounds like i'm a rushed tbh
TH 8 here. Maxed out everything EXCEPT: Valkyries (lvl 1) and Golems (lvl 1)...working on Minions lvl 4....also got about 50% (maybe a bit more) skull walls. Wondering if I should worry about upgrading Valks and Golems seeing as how I don't really use Valks but do occasionally use Golems in GoWiPe for CW.
Crystal III. I'm probably a bad example because I'm what you would call a "Dirty" Farmer. I take DE however I can get it and I'm sure I've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off a few TH9s & 10s in my time. However, I believe all is fair in love and war (Miguel de Cervantes) and I do find a lot of it from abandons and collector raids.Quote:

You can make decent DE and save some up for those lab upgrades if you don't have much else going on. Then I moved up to Crystal and worked on my DE while using gold and elixir on my walls and left my longer upgrades like teslas for last.

Do it bro. Especially if you are saying you use golems in war. Look at it this way, you have 50% skulls left, which is 111,000,000 worth of gold and elixir. That gives you way more than enough time to accumulate the DE to do those upgrades before moving up. We're talking 20 days of upgrade time assuming you have the resources. You aren't going to farm that much gold and elixir in 20 days.Quote:

Trust me the amount of DE you need to accumulate at TH9 is chump change compared to that. And the level 2 Valks? Try them out. Find a reason to like them. They're pretty darn awesome IMO and, to that point, I think govape is a stronger combo than gowipe. I have been using that combo for the past few wars with level 2 valks and love it.
I hate hogs and hardly ever use minions but I don't plan on moving up to TH9 before they are fully upgraded. A "maxed" base is not maxed unless EVERYTHING is MAXED. Went a little excessive on the formatting there but I think you get my point.
