Im going to hit th9 soon. I have every th8 defense maxed. So here a question, will i be okay to continously upgrading my xbow to level 3? In order to do this i will have to slowly upgrading my new archer tower, wiz tower, air def and tesla. So xbow will be max before the other toys.
Anybody else did this before? Can you share your experience? Tqvm
It takes a month with no down time both at the same time to get them to lvl3 minimum. When I hit TH9 I did exactly that to get it out the way. If you are upgrading one X-Bow you are as good as dead to TH10s anyway so might as well do it fast early on. I did the same with Inferno Towers when I hit TH10.
I immediatly built them after upgrading, started one upgrading to level 2 right after it finished, then did the other 5 days later. I waited to upgrade them to 3 until I had all my new defenses up to max TH8 levels. once I got the new defenses on par with my other ones the level 3 x bows were my top priority; I have one up and running and the next one will finish in 3 days and 14 hours and I can't wait.
I built mine immediately but waited towards middle/end to max them. Maxed splash first, then Tesla and ad, upgraded xbows to level 2, then did cannons and ats and finished maxing the xbows before ats were all finished. I think its a pretty good idea to just max them right off the bat though cause they're tough at level 3. If I were to do it all over again I'd max them sooner for sure.
Thanks guys for your information. I think i will just proceed with my plan to upgrade xbow continously. Im pretty scare at first because i know when im a th9 i will open attack from th10.
However since my wall already max i think i will just dump my resources into them. Just need to schedule builder efficiently i guess. Thx
Nice advice! I agree, it feels nice just to get something out of the way for once, lol.:rolleyes:Quote:

(I had 4 builders at the time) I kept upgrading the new stuff slowly. After I had both bows built, I upgraded one. Then once it finished, I upgraded the other. I had two lvl2 xbows for a week or so, then upgraded one to maxed. 4 days later I did the other one. Now one is maxed and the other has about 2d left.
I got th9 on October 27 2014. today is January 3 2015.
days left in October: 4
Total days in November: 30
Total days in December: 31.
days in January when xbows are maxed: 5
4+30+31+5=70.
Took me 70 days to max xbows. Not too bad considering school and all. It feels great having the most expensive upgrades gone. Current most expensive thing is 5.3m for wiz towers, not too terrible
Lvl 1 and lvl 2 X-bow will not stop a raiding TH10 army, not alone and not as a pair. Those lvl 6 (and now lvl 7) giants will smash them.Quote:

Thats what concern me the most as i think xbow isnt the answer to counter giants level 6 and above. However i still want to get them max asap, i have another reason for that. They look so badass at level 3!!Quote:

Of course, lab & spell also.
Just get it done once and for all.
So I kind of stuck as TH8 defense for a month.
Then max WT.
Then I did Tesla & mortar.
Tqvm for your input. I'll follow your step. While we at it, anyone can suggest me good base for pre xbow th9? Im not looking for a perfect base, just something that could fend off lame attacker.Quote:

IMO, upgrading x-bows at the same time will result in your base getting wrecked not only by TH 10's but also TH 9's. So it's best to upgrade one at a time.
It wouldn't be a bad thing. I upgraded them to lv3 non stop once I got them and it took me about a month. While they were upgrading I upgraded my queen to lv5 and then started on my lv1 tesla. Everything in my base is at th8 level except 1 lv8 archer tower but at least i don't have to worry about bows anymore;):o
