th9 and th8 raids too oppressive.

Destroying the stores at 60k or 200k will give the same thing. But you get more de per damage to a store that is full. I have lots of experience on this one!

Not many people are carrying enough zaps to completely destroy a max de stores. So it is a waste of time to zap you at 60k. I have been carrying 60-70k de and I have loss less then 1K de from 2-3 zaps!

Ok, never noticed that. I don't get zapped enough to care to pay attention, even when I had 180k de waiting to upgrade both my king and queen at the same time.

It's what the games abouts,th7s can easily 3 star th6, th8s can easily 3 star th7s, th9s can easily 3 star th8s.... Get over it

So your saying I should upgrade my giants? 😆

If they didn't mean that --- you still should.... (if you use a troop often, and have an upgrade available for it, why wouldn't you?)

If you make it harder for th9's to raid th8's, then th10 would have a godly feeling knowing no one besides other th10's would hit you

The max a th8 can lose from gold storage to a th 9 is 270k, 150k to a th10.

Any gold after approximately 3mil is safe (by way of the cap). Therefore, if you have 6mil gold, not one penny more is available to raiders than when you hit the loot cap.

Learning this was priceless, as I used to dump loot into gold into walls in order to appear less attractive to attackers, and would stop raiding once I had enough for the next upgrade, rather raid until I hit max storage.

It is similar with DE. Max DE lost is 1800 to a Th9 and 1000 to a th10. Once you hit the loot cap, the rest is protected (one of the reasons to max your dark storage).

So, once I learned this as a th8, I broke shields whenever I had time to do 2 raids. I could make up whatever I lost in two raids.

And if haven't maxed your gold storages, especially your third, do it soon. A th8 with just two max storages will have 135k in each one, vs 100k if he had three.

I recently hit a th9 with two max gold storages and two level one storages. I got 175k from each one, lol.

And get a good design that separates the storage. Veteran attackers can run a quick calculation that they can only get two storages and decide it is not worth using a strong army with heroes and spells.

There are many, many times I see a base I could easily smash, but hit next because the storage location prevent an easy loot.

Take your own advice, Xizeta: "Learn to adapt." There is no issue with raids being too "oppressive." The issue is with your poor attitude. Like you said, TH9+ loot problems should not be sympathized with because "there are tons of TH8s available to be steamrolled." Well guess what, buttercup? You're one of those TH8s.

Since loot is so "awesome" for you, why are you complaining about getting raided by TH9s? You have more than enough loot to keep all your builders busy and your lab going 24/7 anyway.

You could always rush to TH10 and unlock 2 infernos and 3 x-bows if you want a better defense :rolleyes:

Th10s give 4% de and 10% gold/elix with a 3k and 400k cap respectively.
This means you are offering max de of 3k at 75k, and max gold/elix of 400k at 4mil.

Even with maxed out defenses, there is nothing a TH8 can do to minimize losses. Nothing. You introduced a Town Hall 9 with his or her giants and heal spell, and they not only collect hundreds of thousands of resources, but they also get a ton of trophies with minimal effort. They could drop their giants, drop a wall breaker or two, virtually anywhere, with no thought put into the attack, and get a three star victory. The giants + heal are just that oppressive.

If I spend all my gold and elixir, I still get stomped for my DE being saved up. It usually means I get three starred on top of losing 1000-2000 DE. I have 1.5 million gold or elixir? Which is not that uncommon as upper level structures start becoming expensive at this level, good chance a TH9 will come to town and take over 200K each.

How often do I encounter a TH7 worth raiding? Almost never.

Giants are not that powerful once you see what a queen can do to a TH8.

but again, TH9s were all th8s for some time.....thats life.

Pretty sure he means giant healer combo with barch and that monster of a queen. And what he says is true. It happens to every th8..but I'm th8 and have only been 3 starred once :p
