Rush to TH8 & then chill there... (COC addicts)

Hi, Contrary to popular advice I would say rush to TH8 & then camp there till you max almost everything... Only condition is you shud be a COC addict, as in, you shud atleast be able to play constantly for atleast 8/10 attacks without logging off... the more the merrier...

I started out in Jan end 2013 & constantly upgraded TH till I reached TH8. I have only spent for gems to get the 4th & 5th builder

you ask why shud I advice such ? My reason is it very good to farm with lvl 5 troops... Its a cake walk compared to lower level troops... + you get so much walls & defenses...

In 3.x months I have maxxed almost everything... Only AD is lvl 3 / Teslas are lvl 3 & walls 200 are blue & 25 are skull & collectors are ... well I dont need them...

My TH pic below (thanks to officer waffle for the basic design, I stuck to his earlier version with little modifications)

This is my personal experience, may differ for other...

PS: After reaching TH8 I quickly started TH9 but soon read much after the sufferings of TH9 & canceled the update...

Definitely not. You may feel this way because you didn't really experience TH7.

First of all. It shouldn't be rushed because you should always max out, at the very least, the first 5 troops at each stage. It would be incredibly difficult to raise the funds to get all troops from lvl 1 to 5 with lvl 1 troops at th8. In addition, max army camps are a must before moving on too. Imagine trying to raid at th8 with lvl 1 troops and only 100 camp space. It would be a nightmare.

Yuo say you rushed to TH8, as did I. The excitement of gaining the, pretty much useless, dark elxir drill and the ability to train PEKKA was too much for me along with lvl 5 troops, so i spent about a week at th7 and always say that TH8 isn't too bad to raid at. However, that's only because all of my troops and army camps are maxed, and I'd never really experienced th7 raiding.

If you stayed at th7 like eveeryone advises, you'd have noticed the HUGE difference in raiding. Yes they only get lvl 4 troops but the raiding is so much easier. I play on the missus' th7 acc and the amount of time you come across more than 200k of gold and elixir is incredible, even just at 1000 trophies. Much easier to upgrade everything to max as well. Your a lot less likely to be attacked by th9s at th7 too so your loot which is easier to get hold of is easier to hold on to.

Rushing to TH7 is actually fine.
But rushing to th8......nah.

I had a friend who rushed TH7 so bad. L5 archer towers, L2 wizard towers, etc. but then he Maxed the shiz out of it. He maxed research, collecters, barracks, everything. Now he's a badass TH8 going to 9 with everything maxed including research and barracks. Golems and dark troops included.

Rushing to 7 is ok, but 8 is just a nono.

Ofcourse I forgot to mention while the TH's were upgrading I was upgrading tier one troops & army camps along with... I was there a bit longer in TH7 but I find a world of difference in lvl 4 & 5 troops, its so much easier...

& depending on time, I get plenty 200k & even 350k gold raids... average is 150K easy kill

I would change your statement to 'if you rushed to TH8, it's not the end of the world', but far better to max TH7 first (which I didn't!). As a result of my mad rush to TH8 it took me just over 4 months with 5 builders to max TH8 - have only recently gone to TH9. I was a pretty useless farmer back then though :p

the 1st glance i saw your noob purple walls i close the pic. like this u say u ALMOST maxxed everything? U got a LOOOOOONG way to go bro. Ask the people around here if walls are important. You dun need them is your own problem, but dun advocate your wrong thinking to the other juniors here.

Rush till TH7, camp out there till almost maxxed : move to TH8

tried and tested personally and also by many others here.

what wrong thinking, what are you talking about ???

purple walls & max th8 is skulls... Did I say I am doing th9 & everyone rush to th9 ???

only u know what you are talking about, like I said I am almost maxxed & I wrote how many walls are of what lvl... so you dint need to open the picture to know what I am talking about.. I have done 25 walls skull in 2 days... big deal...

I see you uselessly commenting on many threads about how bad the bases are, why dont you show your pro base ?

as per my estimation I am 20/25 days away from max... that is almost max... dont know in your lang whats it called...

TH7 is such a wonderful place to be, rushing past it seems such a shame.
