Maxing TH9

New TH9 here coming from a maxed TH8 building/hero/wall wise. I plan to get all legos and heroes up to 20 first and foremost. Then, I'll see how I feel and how much lab time I have to wait for and make the decision to stay or go to TH10. Farming has been no problem at TH9. If it feels the same when it comes time to make my decision, then I will probably stay and farm.

Currently, my short term goals are:-
1. Getting the heroes to lvl 20
2. Getting all lego walls

After completing these, I am thinking of getting few odd lava walls for the core protection and may be heroes to lvl 25. But, that still too far and I want to focus more on my current goals, as of now :)

This is the same strategy that I'm using. I've only got maybe 30% legos at the moment. One of my TH9 clanmates has all her lego walls already and is well on the way to all fire walls. I think she has about 40% at the moment. She raids a lot and has buckets of patience.

Walls will dictate whether a jump spell is necessary or not which means one less, rage/heal/freeze/lightning.

Thanks for all the answers - my impression is that the people who come to these forums mostly do at least a certain part of the hero maxing and wall maxing, which is impressive, but probably the readers here are more hardcore than the full CoC community.

I reached lvl100 yesterday and still have a lot to upgrade on TH9 - only started the journey on this level in October - but will probably try maxing things out.

I guess as times goes by i will have more elixir to play with which can allow for a few more exotic raids than just the normal BARCH or BAM or BAG ...

I had a guy raiding me yesterday with a lvl30 AQ, who beat my xbow 1 on 1 which made me think maxed out heroes are worth a try :)

At least do the lego walls. With the use of gold and elixer they aren't too hard if you farm low at th9. The lava walls are harder.

It depends upon your goals, activity, time, etc.

I jumped up in September on both accounts. I went first on my less active, wifi only account, where on a really good season I raid 100 a season. I had maxed by defenses, it is hard to justify lazy builders. I have no little problems looting enough to keep my builders active. I got back to doing heroes and walls, but I have a long way to go on both. But since I win defenses nonstop (17 in less than a day), I can protect my loot.

With my more active account, I had planned to get heroes up to 25 and full legos. I was farming in m2 where there was no loot penalty. I never saw th8s. I spent a month with 2 or more lazy builders. But since I had seen the reality of th10 farming with my other account, I decided to go ahead and jump with half Lego.

Th10 is only a problem for those who cannot raid th9s and th10s and who spent their entire time as a th9 in gold2.


But I would caution upgrading too rushed, if clan wars are important to you. Rushed th10s can severely impact matchmaking negatively. On the other hand, th9s with high level heroes, level 4 golems, and near Lego walls or better are an asset. They impact clan wars less than a single level inferno, yet can be clan wars beasts.

So, the TL;DR version: th10 is easy for decent players, but be aware of the clan war impact.

I always make sure to MAX current townhall before going forward. To me, getting heroes maxed is most important.

Just weight the pros/cons

its 750 million gold to max walls at th9... What do you get ?

Maxed walls :

Intimidation factor to other th9 using ground units ( I will still ballonion a th9 whos maxed with 0 f..ks given )
th8 wont attack you ( even without maxed walls, a th8 cant 100%, at least, ive never been 100% by a th8 )
This will force th9 and th10's to use air attacks on you ( a TH10 with maxed ballonions and lvl 20 heroes will destroy you )
Stops Barch from farming ( doesnt apply to war )

Now, lets say you go to th10 and put that 750 million gold to good use ( or 375 million/elixir ) if you split the cost between the two.

You will get 2 maxed inferno towers ( good luck getting three stared, lvl 3 infernos are super good )
a new Xbow ( maxed )
A new spell factory level ( 5 spells vs 4 is a big offense boost )
240 army camps ( once again, a boost to offense )
a new cannon and archer tower to be maxed
5more space in the CC ( more offense and defense )
Nothing is more intimidating than 2 multi inferno protecting the base with maxed AD's and XBOWS! even with just skull walls
Add in a higher level of wizard tower
A new dark elixir drill ( 2400 extra DE per day at max level )
1 gold and elixir collector

Just the above points mean you will protect loot better, only th10's have a shot at you for 3 stars in clan war and you can now destroy th9's in war. ( this is asuming you have good attack skills )

I believe moving to th10 is better, especially if you farm a lot. I am currently a th9 farming in crystal 1, i raid 10 to 15 times per day using just ballonion. I used to Barch but, the army cooks so fast you are able to always play and i dont want to spend so much time online, ha ! With Ballonions, you raid 2-3 times every two hours. thats about 10 to 15 raids a day if you log in every 50 minutes. Seems fair and better for time management. I still make 2.5million gold/elixir a day ( sometimes more ) and about 15k to 20k DE. Its a good steady pace. I havent had a single builder idle since i started playing as a th1 :D

At 2million a day ( absolute minimum ) thats 14million gold a week, enough to do 2 of those 5million gold upgrade and some teslas or what not.

What I do advice is, and you dont really need to listen to me, is max Wizard towers, AD's, get archer towers and cannons to 10, teslas to 6 ( or max ), max DE Drill, both heroes to 15-20 and all skull walls. After that, move to th10 if you can comfortably raid in crystal I or master III no problem :D

Hope this helps!

PS : heroes to 15 or 20 , lvl 16 to 19 is silly , no upgrade to their ability :D
