Wrapping up TH8, Looking to TH9. Quick Question

Hey all,

So I'm currently about 160 skulls away from maxing TH8 and I read an idea somewhere here a few weeks ago and I thought it was an interesting idea but just wanted to get some thoughts on it.

Essentially, the idea boils down how to go about doing level 9 walls once you get to TH9. Most players upgrade all defensive structures and then go through a "wall phase" at the end. I was thinking about doing something like....

Upgrade new AD, AT, WT, Tesla to TH8 max level in line with other structures. Build 2 Xbows to level 1. Then, instead of grinding out all of my defensive upgrades first, switch to a wall phase using a Quad design to protect elix in the compartments. In this way, I will be an extremely unattractive gold target and can do the following...

Gold: Upgrading walls to level 9
Elixir: Upgrading DE drills first then lab upgrades available
DE: Upgrading heroes as high as I can

This way, by the time the walls are done I will have level 20+ heroes and then I can grind everything to TH9 max.

Thoughts?

Don't do that IMO its a bad idea. Save a builder for walls. It takes 1 billion resources to finish your th9 walls crazy right? There is absolutely no way your gonna stick with busting out a billion resources while your builders sit idley by especially since if you try to knock out some hero levels above 20 its a lot of work so you will barely be getting walls st that point. Trust me start working on walls right away with a builder. In the end its the efficiency that makes progress faster.

Just like you wouldn't drop a spell for nothing since its wasting elixir getting raided more often is a way of wasting resources as well. Anyways I did a decent job focusing on heroes a lot, while always working on walls, and keeping 2-3 builders on defenses and other things the whole time just keeping 1 builder free. If you want to see what keeping a builder free the whole time at th9 check out my base in Sig. I think had some purple walls actually when I started th9 but I'm still a long way away from maxing walls have 150 more lavas to go. Couldn't imagine how big of a project it would be if it was saved for the end

I'm a maxed TH9 except for walls and my heroes are at lvl18 and 16.
I'm farming exclusively for dark elixir for heroes and gold/elixir accumulated is dumped into walls.

I would suggest the wall phase last. Walls don't do much as defenses.

In clan war, I 2 starred a maxed TH9 base with lvl10 walls using Gowipe. He only had heroes left to upgrade.
Defense structures are far more important than walls IMO.

I'm mainly focusing on De and elxir right now at the beginning of my th9 life. Th9 is an elxir vacuum. I leave one builder for walls. It works out great

it really depends on how online and how many resources you can raid per day and your average loot per day.

well some players prefer to have a free builder though some are not.

I will remind you that the cost of th9 defenses is very high. and the waiting time for the hero upgrades is very very long. and if you still have life outside clash of clans. having a builder for walls is not recommended. since you may end up having no resources when one builder is finished building defenses.
the best suggestion was to plan the builders that you will have one builder per day.
i suggest sandwich the long upgrades in between shorter ones..

One billion gold for Legos? Nah.

Zaps will cost that much. Lavas will cost 750 million, and Legos would cost "only" 250 million.

Do the math next time :P

just do it alternately...your plan is ok. when you do deff gold upgrade...use..lix for wall
when you going to do lab or lix upgrade...use gold for wall. always try to minimaze your storage...stock only 1 ress at a time...
i do that and only takes less then 3 month to get full lego. timing your upgrade so you can have free builder every 24-36 hours...so dont have to sit 1 builder for wall. :cool:

This was sort of my logic.

I figured bring new structures up to TH8 max and then use all gold for walls when I wrap all elixir upgrades up. Once those are done, I can switch. Start protecting gold and using elixir to finish out the walls. All the while making sure to protect DE and get heroes up.

I think my original post was confusing. I could have worded it better.

Here's what I did to get my skulls done, and will do the same for legos:

Stagger your build times. That is, try to make one builder free everyday. This accomplishes the same as a free builder without actually leaving a permanently idle builder. To do this, don't catch up all your new buildings right away. A lot will disagree with that, but it allows you to keep to that daily schedule. If you do a gold upgrade dump elixir into the walls and vice versa. Having those cheap quick upgrades of new buildings allows for more resource dump later as well, plus gives you leeway if you don't have enough for an expensive upgrade.

Doing this I got all my skulls done in 2 months with zero builder idle time.

I must be confused...250 mill + 750 mill = 1 bill right?

Cuz you get level 9 and level 10 at th9...

DOH!!!! 750mil+250mil = 1 billion!

Considering legos and lavas are unlocked at TH9 his math was right since he said " It takes 1 billion resources to finish your th9 walls"

His math was good. Maybe you should focus on reading comprehension!! :p

Sounds interesting but i would strongly recommend doing walls at townhall 8, when u about 20 to walls left start ur townhall to 9, when u get to 9, u will experience stronger attacks and th7 will not show u loot. So enjoy them now. 😊
