Hard work for levels does not mean nothing. High level heroes & Golems can often get stuck on walls if the attacker does not bring a significant number of wbs or use jump spells well.Quote:

Walls are mostly something for hardcore players to do for a long time.
Personally I disagree with this argument, gathering DE is significantly easier at TH10. Extra lv 6 drill, stronger troops, and more troops to steal DE in the centre of players bases.Quote:

If you don't care for walls that much and want strong heroes, you are crazy NOT to be TH10.
So you would suggest I should upgrade to TH10?Quote:

Was just in the same boat you are. We normally face lots of premie th10's in wars so my maxed D th9 (full legos/18BK/19 AQ) was getting thumped in wars but rarely touched in normal raids.
Just went to th10 and it is an amazing difference. No more than 1 star given up in wars. Resources rarely touched in raids and they are nearly always full or close to it. ITs really are that good (even level 1's). Oh and pekka 5 makes yer GoWiPe the army you wish you had at th9.
Wish I would have waited for royals to hit 20 but got tired of lazy builders and didn't want to face 3+ more months of it while grinding lavas. The loot has been fine overall. Gold 1 for pink/gold. M3 for gold/DE. Just depends on what you need.
I would say jump mate. But I always respect grinders that can keep up the work on lavas at th9. True gluttons for punishment they are.
In my personal opinion, it depends on what your end goal of the game is. If you are okay with stopping at half lavas or so and love warring more than farming (and do it more often), then go to TH10. This is because your infernos will really save you from getting 3 starred too easily and freeze + extra troops will help you attack stronger bases - there is an extra 25 troops you can bring into battle (although I have seen many max bases even with zaps and level 40 heroes getting 3 starred before). In fact, most top clans would not let TH9s join in cws because if say the clan goes in a battle with 39 relatively good TH10s + 1 TH9 (you), no matter how good you are or how maxed your base is, you will be a liability to the clan as you will easily be 3 starred when faced with another decent clan. If you are also a very slow farmer (as in you take a month to do 5 lavas), then maybe going to TH10 first would be better because you don't want to waste all that sleeping builder time. If you are looking for top clans to war in, then go to TH10 (although I recommend getting both heroes to 20+ first).
If you enjoy farming more than warring, can roughly estimate less than 3-4 months to completely finish your lavas and possibly heroes, then stay at TH9. You will hardly see any 300k gold+ raids from TH8s as a TH10, so take advantage of this.
Don't get me wrong. A TH10 with max def + zaps will definitely have an added advantage to a TH10 with max def + legos'lavas, but a TH9 max def + lavas will still be a disadvantage to an average TH10 + legos but with infernos. Most strategies will touch on wall breakers sooner or later (even the lavaloon ones as they like using wbs to break into the TH for their heroes to go after) and the walls will be an advantage. But if you're planning on staying at TH9 for another year from now just to finish your walls versus going to TH10, then I say go to TH10 first.
Best of luck.
P/s: Levels do not mean anything. Since you seem active, I assume you donate a lot in clan. If your friends in need achievement is a lot higher than your clanmate's friend in need, then your level will be higher than theirs despite their defences. With your current level and def, I'll say you're at 200k donations or have cleared a lot of obstacles before (around 1.5k?) And walls and heroes do not give any exp at all so it's a terrible indicator of it. Walls and heroes do not seem to be taken into huge consideration during cw rankings neither.
Depends what you want most.Quote:

Well, the odds are actually rather high that he'll get bored of clash long before he has fully maxed walls no matter which path he chooses.Quote:

They're a big fat 'Meh' 99% of the time. Generally they don't even really help as they just scare off the lower grade attackers and mean that you'll be hit by someone more competent. Heroes are the better investment if you want Clash bling IMO.
Last point stands out, wallsmainly scare noob attackers...and they are not a threat.Quote:

Those aren't even gold. They're Iron! (no fire at the corner walls)
