LMFAO to all the people who say defenses first
uhhh you want people to build defenses first so they don't get wrecked? max TH9s get wrecked all day anyways, attack is always more important than defense, with a good defense and no attack you can't accomplish anything, but a TH10 with lv1 defense and maxed attack can farm all his defenses up with maxed troops and push with maxed troops and war with maxed troops, you need attack in order to get defense, first upgrade is always lab and army camps, the clan castle upgrade at TH9 is more important than the useless lv1 xbows, 30 cc spaces will help A LOT more on attack and defense (you can request max golems or max lava hounds then) that spell factory is next, then the queen, now you should have 4 builders (at least) so 2 will be for lab and spell factory, the other 3 will be to build new defenses (besides xbows that can wait a little bit) then do your cc, once your new defenses are built and leveled a bit do the xbows and army camps, although I can tell you xbows don't really help until level 3, and even at level 3 they still don't really bother me, and I'm a town hall 8, for war also remember your attack isn't factored into matching, your defense is, if you build a strong defense early (like a noob, come at me bring the hate but it's true) you will be matched with a stronger opponent in war and then your neglected weaker attack will have to attack a stronger base, while if you get attack first you'll have stronger troops earlier and have weaker matches, tell me which helps the clan more? and obviously likely you'll get 3 starred in wars on defense either way because a new TH9 is really nothing hard to get 3 on, esp if you have a few TH10s in your wars (like in my clan almost always all the TH9s on both sides of war are 3 starred, even the maxed guys get wrecked hard) this game is run on attack, defense is just a boost, it won't carry you far
