Up to you my man. I would max (and am in the process of it as we speak). There's just nothing in research (maybe not valks) not worth upgrading in my opinion.

Very impressive guide. I wish I would have had this when I was TH8 because I definitely rushed my 9! I am done playing catch up now, but life would have been a heck of a lot easier if I knew then what I know now. Great job! 👍
Excellent guide mungo. I'm also one of those guys who believes in maxing out before upgrading to the next TH. Currently a mid level TH8'er and this guide will definitely help me be more efficient going forward. Also looking forward to trying out your "The Nerd" base when I get some free time to build it. Been looking for a good TH8 farming base and have to say it looks awesome. Thanks again. Keep putting out the good advice!
Just finished TH upgrade7 and I am in TH8 3 hrs ago.
I had full storages so I immediately upgrade my lab and also my DE storage. My DE is full already so I need to get that done so I can continue upgrade my BK. I then get all walls (upgrade to lvl 5), the 2 extra storages, archer tower, AD and now mortar. I do want to start get all the 'defense" building up so i can have at least a decent layout (I also use your NERD design, Mungo!).
I do plan to have
1 builder to switch between AD and Telsa.
1 builder to switch between Mortar/WT.
1 builder to get the 2nd DE Drill. After Drill is done, then use that builder to work on BK upgrade.
1 builder to work on walls, storage upgrade and new archer upgrades.
I hope I can average 1-2mil a day to keep builder busy, but I don't mind taking a break and stretch this out a bit... this is going to be a long journey, but i am looking forward to lv5 troops! Can't wait to test out Golems and Pekkas later when I am 80% max out (i know it is not efficient, but it is fun to learn some new techniques and enjoy this game!).
Thanks for the write-up, and please advise or give recommendation

Absolutely make the jump now, assuming your farming army is maxed for TH8. Leaving builders idle and walls max waiting for the lab takes away your gold sink (walls), and further delays the biggest bottleneck in the game (upgrading AQ). All this assumes your goal is to progress as efficiently as possible. "Max everything" is the safest way to play, but it is also extremely inefficient.
Just here chuckling about calling TH 8 a grind.
great thread currently a TH 8 and torn between what to upgrade and this really helped out thank you
Went to TH8 recently, and I will say that this is really a helpful guide.
Thanks a lot Mungo! GL in TH9!
