If you are ever going to do lava walls, do them (or as many as you can bear) at th9. Loot dumps severely at th10!

It's simple really.. You are only focusing on the bad.
true, premature bases with infernos can defend better than a maxed th9, why else do you think some people go into it prematurely?
However, staying in TH 9 means significantly better loot, this is specially true when compared to premature th10s. Premature bases probably means their offensive strength is subpar as well. Th10 loot is rough as it is, going into it with a subpar offensive power makes it that much harder. It's likely that you will reach th10 before the premies finish up all their upgrades that they could have done if they had stayed down.
So there is pros and cons. No right choice. You chose to stay as TH9, so stick with it. And if you don't want to, then just upgrade your hall. Simple as that.
Thank you guys for all advice. I guess I just thought a such upgraded TH 9 would be really hard to flatten. Outside wars TH snipe is pretty much what I get so the real tests always are in war.
THE LOOTS NOT THAT BAD! Once you get those max barch & extra 20 spaces & spell you can easily farm in masters 3. Good loot bonus means 100k per raid plus whatever is in the base. The extra DE drill comes in handy as well. Like another poster has said the safest 1-2 star raid at masters is now lava hound / balloonian - GoWiPe's seem to fail more easily... so walls don't play such a significant part.
Hit the th10!
My opinion is that walls are nice but they don't add as much as the ability to get max level troops, inferno towers and freeze spells. As long as your troops and defenses are maxed for 9, excluding heros, i think it's more beneficial to unlock those things I mentioned then spending all those resources on walls. My strategy is i got them to skulls them I'm going to leave them alone till my defenses are maxed at th 10. Instead of 7 Legos I'd rather have a max level wizard tower
Sure i'd say with Skulls it's time to go to TH10 if you have maxed the rest - unless you really want the look and feel of legos.
There is however a strong argument to say it's worth waiting to get your heroes to lvl 30 before going to TH 10 which would probably mean you would get the legos done as a by product.
Honestly, I think that lego walls are a huge jump from skulls. It looks a lot more intimidating imo, and looks scarier to attack. Maybe thats just me though.
Btw Daddy, I found your base while searching for a raid, do i get a prize for winning the scavenger hunt?:rolleyes::D
I am a TH9, with max defence, a few lego walls and level 13 heroes. Do you think I should stop trying to farm my walls all to level 9, and start aiming to keep upgrading my heroes, with walls just being there to dump gold n elixir on? Also at what hero level do you suggest I then stop and progress to TH10?
Keep the videos up aswell, I love them :)
i found farming DE @ TH9 a slow process, but at TH10 it seems to be so much easier to come by as you can farm at higher levels. My advice is get all you DE troop upgrades done, lvl 15 (at least heros) then jump to TH10
Just came across this guy on a raid search. Somebody told him to stop at legos before going to TH10, so he took their advice:
