New TH8 First upgrade's

Just about to go to a TH8, Everything is maxed(Including DE upgrade's and wall's). I will have approx 4,500,000 gold and elixir, and 12 000 DE as my storage's are max and my clan castle is maxed as well( except for DE). I took 200k off because I will most likely get raided. I will also have 4 builder's ready.

My thought's were 3 builder's on the elixir and the last working on other new building's. DE Drill builder will be on that until it is maxed.


Elixir( first 3 builders will go here)
New DE Drill - 1 million - 1 day
Lab - 1 million - 4 days
Dark Storage - 1.8 million - 3 days
New Gold Storage - 300 - 1 min


Waiting on
Dark Barrack's - 750,000 - 3 days


--------------------
Gold( last builder for this)
Instant Upgrade's
New Spring Trap - 2000X2
New Air Bomb - 4000x2
New Seeking Air Mine - 4000
New Giant Bomb - 12,500
New Skelly Trap's - 6,000 X2
New Wall's to level 5 - 2,310,000 ( getting all of them to level 6 would be around 6 million total)


Total Instant = 2,350,500


Then after that


New Elixir Storage - 300 - 1 min
Archer tower - 15 min - 1000(possibly level 2(30 min) and 3(45 min) pending


Then one of the following(after spending the rest on wall's) I was thinking telsia as it's cost is one million as all the other new building's can be achieved in one barch( or two for wiz tower )


Mortar - 8hours - 8000
Air Def - 5h - 22,500
Wiz Tower - 12h - 180,000
Hidden Telsia - 1d - 1 million

Should I be upgrading one of the barracks instead or hold off on some of the longer upgrades and focus on getting the new building's up to par.

For the next few weeks I would focus all elixir on your drill and lab. I wouldn't worry about any new barracks for about three weeks. If your king is already level five you will want to upgrade the DE storage some where during that time as well.

As far as gold focus on getting all of your new defenses up to what they were at th7. Then mortars, wizard towers, air defense, archer towers and finally cannons. I would dedicate one builder on teslas for a while. Getting all three of them to level six takes a while but it is worth it.

As you get enough DE upgrade your king. In your lab start with your farming troops then start on what you use in war.

It took me about three months to get everything including walls but not lab maxed. Good luck.

Ok sounds like my plan is a good one

First 3 builder's on
New DE Drill - 1 million - 1 day
Lab - 1 million - 4 days
Dark Storage - 1.8 million - 3 days

and the last one on new building's.

Keep the DE Drill builder on the drill until it is maxed and once the lab/dark storage finishes that builder helping get new stuff up to par or barb king if I have the DE.

As for lab upgrades I was going to upgrade my raiding troops first( barb, archer and wall breaker ) then war troop's is where i'm not sure. I am the top attacker in the clan so I usually attack the top base. I prefer giant healer as it is cheep, But that can get challenging with 3 air defenses and trap's . Dragon's are nice but expensive as well as hog's.

learn to love mass dragons. it's the easiest (but expensive) war attack strategy for TH8s.

I like how you've planned every detail to perfection. And yet you're here, seeking our(ok, maybe not mine) approval. Nervous much? Please chill.

You have our blessings! Th8 is nice.

Do the DE Storage later. You wont need that upgrade right away anyway, concentrate on leveling up defenses. Gives you some elixir to up walls! Or anything else.

Good plan. My suggestion would be to wait to build the new gold and elixir storages for more towards the end when you get all of the new defenses and walls up and upgraded to the current level and max some of your other defenses. 4 mil is more than enough needed to get all your upgrades going. If you do the storages early, that's 6 buckets you need to defend vs only 4 and you'll have less defenses to do it with.

The OP just wants advice on it. Not approval. You need to chill.

I gave both, just in case.

lol, yep advice and just extra input on the matter to see if I have missed anything. I selected the dark storage because any upgrade( except minion) is beyond 20k. As for the storage's I was going to keep them at level 1 so I have more structures for clan war's, and once I got the new defenses/wall's up to th7 then I would upgrade them to spread my loot across the base hoping one survive's when I get attacked.

Edit: Possibly take them up to level 6 since that's 1500 extra hit point's but only 8k loss when destroyed.
