Never ending DEBATE: MAXING TH9 including heroes and walls or NOT?

Maxing TH9 might be worth it if you really farm your walls and heroes quickly.

But people that stay TH9 for a year or more (meaning their lab is idle for 6+ months as are most builders) are just crazy. By the time you finish TH9, you could have had max Infernos and all max troops, and your heroes would probably advance just as quickly. Not to mention, by the time you finally get TH10, SC will have TH11.

If you have such a hard time farming DE at TH9, then you should go to TH10 and use additional camp space / spells / better troops to help you.

I'm farming heroes and walls but I'm just barely finishing up my TH9 traps and the new collector/pumps. And my lab has been going non-stop for the entire time and I'm just finishing all the important troops (everything is maxed except for Valk and Healer)...

With BK23 and AQ26, I'm headed to TH10 within the next 2-3 weeks.

As a reasonably maxed Th10 base holder (with only lvl 8-9 wall) farming around 2200-2400, there's nothing nicer than seeing a maxed Th9 base with 400k+ gold/elixir and 3k+ DE and wiping it out 100% every time.

I'd literally pay to see their reaction when they see their base crumble without the essential Th10 defences, and I'm not talking about wall, which is very poor value for money and the last thing you should be upgrading beyond level 8-9. Then I'd also happily to pay to see their expression when they click on the revenge button and a tear forms as they quickly realise that they stand zero chance.

Thanks in advance :cool:

MAX DEF > MAX WALLS in TH9

It really wastes a lot of time if you wait with idle lab and builders JUST to max walls and Royals in TH9.

To me, the primary prerequisites are; if you have max Lab upgrades and def turrets, minimum max Skull walls, and Royals 10-15 each... then its time to go.

the upgrades you are putting off in the TH 10 lab and new defense levels can be and eventually will be done at TH 10 anyhow; sometimes easier...(again with max camps, and experience)

because in the long run (and this game is not a sprint) you can still complete those wall and Royal upgrades in TH10. and as another has stated; in the time you lab/builders sit idle in TH9, you can get Dual Infernos and 3rd X-bow maxed or close to it. plus other upgrades. 3rd Drill optimizes DE production

Yes it does stink for losing out on TH8, but only if that is your primary diet. After you max camps you can farm TH9 a lot easier (with BAM/Barch) and they have 4 storages to gobble up. (though they do have better equipped defenses to repel your troops)

The choice is yours, there is no 'wrong' answer here. just know all paths lead to the same destination. ---> Max 10, have fun getting there is the most important thing here.

I would say not worth it. If your end goal is to trophy hunt, then definitely not worth it. I have been holding steady at 4k for about 5 months and have lvl 25 heroes and am just now finishing my lvl 9 walls. lol. Yep, I rushed, but it was FUN!

I can also 3 star TH8s with my TH9 acc, that's nothing special, but the time a TH10 has to get the defenses up while a TH9 has idle builders, are you saying a 7 month old TH10 is easier to beat than a max TH9? because from what I gather walls are gonna take round about that long, if you have the power to 2 star that TH10 you can easily 3 star the TH9 who wasted time maxing, I'm talking benefits of staying at TH9 to max out, and saying it's good to be patient and max out, why not? because while you are patient and maxing out all the rushers will 3 star you over and over and over and over again, and are you gonna say I'm lying when I say you can't do anything significant about it because of their TH10 defenses and infernos? I think not, I maxed my base, I did it for fun, not for benefits, because there are no benefits to maxing any town hall below 10, TH9 I would definitely recommend maxing defenses first but after that you are really hurting your power and potential in the game

What a tool, lol.

Here is my analysis on maxing walls&heroes vs going th10. (work/family safe)

^ This is long but in summary: Upping to Th10 with combined L35 heroes and full legos will save you 350 days of builder time and put your lab 3 months ahead of a max wall&hero th9.

In 3 months lab time...you can max pekka, golem, hound, wiz, and minions i think.

Oh i'm not being serious/mean to those who decide to max TH9... it's only a game my friend :cool:

In the end it's your village, so if you want to max it be patient and max it. If not then just upgrade it and get over with it.

Right now I'm TH9 with 113 lava finished, rest lego.

AQ is 20 and BK is 18.

Initially I was thinking AQ and BK to 20 then I'd upgrade, but sometimes I start thinking of getting them to 25 first.

My lab is finished and all defenses are max.

Maybe I will just keep farming until the next update comes out, then go to TH10 if there is nothing new to upgrade at TH9.
